...remarkable job on a very tight budget. A sampling of Socialist Realism was included in a broader Russian exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1977, but otherwise nothing like this show has been seen in America before. The very notion of an American museum asking for Stalinist paintings seems so weird that any interest in them is bound to seem morbid. To look at, say, Vasili Svarog's ebullient 1939 painting of Stalin and the jolly butchers of the Politburo frolicking with smiling children in Gorky Park is like hearing a particularly ghastly fairy tale told from...

...Part II, his eyes are a sight to behold: they no longer dart from side to side, but stare resolutely straight on, offering us evil personified. To quell the boyar conspiracy, Ivan creates his secret police force, the "Oprichnina." The parallels between this medieval Russian epoque and the Stalinist Terror are obvious. It's not clear whether Eisenstein intended it to be this way or whether we are looking back with twentieth century hindsight at the parallels...
