Does /pol/ watch Soviet cinema? I started watching commieslop instead of Hollywood goyslop a while ago, and it has been interesting. Some films are like bizarro versions of western movies, while others are much more clearly and distinctly Russian.

Here's Red Snowball Tree (Кaлинa кpacнaя), a 1974 doomercore movie about a released convict who shacks up with a female pen-pal in a remote Siberian village, only to find that trouble continues to follow him:

It was incredibly popular in the USSR. By some measures, it was the MOST successful Soviet film within the Soviet Union, but it isn't as well-known outside the eastern bloc as other Soviet films for some reason. It sort of promotes positive values like self-improvement and self-sacrifice, but in a very cynical Russian style.

I watched that tank movie was good fun.
White tiger I think it was called.

>>509562329 (OP)
ayoo i watched that a couple months ago
personally my favourite soviet film is courier

>>509562329 (OP)
Soviet cinema was kino, also their animated movies were amazing. No vulgarity just pure SOVL.

>>509562591
This is ironic considering that right wing mutts always accuse the communists of being degenerates.

Russian films in general are just better usually than anything in USA released after 9/11 I recommend anything by balabanov

>>509562450
There were some similar films in the mid/late-80's, toward the end of the USSR. Little Vera, Assa, and this documentary about 'troubled youths' in Riga:

Awful thread, awful tasteless movies.

>>509562656
Brat 2 captures mutt culture (or lack of it) perfectly. That scene by the river where they talk about blacks in America can teach you all you need about the race relations in America. Also the contrast between the American truck driver with the criminal business man is a perfect depiction of the contradictions among the American people.

>>509562714
Why do balti-apes seethe at everything Russian?

>>509562591
In fact, it was literally kino (кинo).

>>509562714
Soviets also made 'art' films, if you preferred those instead.

>>509562846
They're all trash as well. Russia doesn't make any good movies. It's not in them to make good art.

>>509562738
I really like the soundtrack and listen to it on the commute to work everyday, i dont even speak russian besides cyka blayat and zdravstvoitye. Its interesting how well they captured america in the film. I am an ethnic russian and i do intend to get around to learning the language someday so I can watch the movies without subtitles

>>509562915
and Lithuania does? maybe 1/10th of America knows that your country even exists

>>509562591
so true

will check them out

>>509562928
Russians out of all European nations have a great capacity for understanding foreign culture. Russians are usually humble so they are open to learn. This is in contrast to the Anglos who feel superior to all and lack the capacity to understand he other.

>>509562983
We are a small country and we have also been mind raped by russia for decades.

>>509563036
Most delusional shit I've read all week. Congrats.

>>509563065
The Russians have been too kind with you people. After WW2 and the way you worked with the nazis, the Russians should've wiped you out. I think soon you will make the same mistake but this time Russia will end your sorry existence forever. And the Anglos will not help you.

>>509563041
>we have also been mind raped by russia for decades.

You could be like tariq nasheed and make cartoons about your made up version of buck breaking thus ushering in the golden age of lithuanian cinema

>>509562915
If you want something fun and exciting, try one of the Soviet copies of western action movies, like Air Crew (a Soviet version of the 'Airport' series of films from the US):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVeQztp0AjE

I prefer Air Crew to Airport.

>>509563152
Just like they wiped out ukraine in 2 days right

>>509563036
Are you a russian living in israel?

>>509563201
In an all war scenario they will.

>>509563228
Arab

>>509563188
Yeah russians know very well how to steal ideas and make shitty copies of western movies. Some of the most popular russian movies are shitty copies of western movies.
I wouldn't describe them as fun and exciting, more like sad and depressing. I do not want to subject myself to such garbage.

>>509563250

>>509563351

Hmm today I could paint my house or better my small country but instead I will complain about Russian movies on an American website.

>>509563763
It goes beyond russian movies

>>509562656

Track my family all the way to russia before africa because africa is a country
and we love eating yt boys like you in afrikkka
we are the true slavs we are the true eastern european
we are the negroid out in full force with our 10 footers slung over our shoulders impregnating every woman that looks at it
the sight has them on their knees shaking with pleasure
You see the slav negroid cock has psychokinesis we can make women orgasm without contact time and time again since we so skilled with our two brains one in the glans and one in the scrotum
soon your wife too will feel the power of the negroid slav and all of his melanated power.

>>509563351
Here are some Soviet (not necessarily Russian, but made within the Soviet system) films that I think are world-class, aside from Tarkovsky or Eisenstein:

>Šoŷ Cuba / Я - Кyбa (1964) - A fictional documentary about the Cuban revolution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiV9NQnoa4

Made by the same director as an earlier war film called 'The Cranes are Flying' ( Лeтят жypaвли) from 1957, which is also quite good.

>War and Peace / Boйнa и миp (1967) - The 7-hour epic adaptation of the Tolstoy novel:

https://ok.ru/video/938185657029

>Siberiade / Cибиpиaдa (1979) - An epic-length generational story of life in a Siberian village from the early-1900's to the discovery of oil in the 1960's:

https://vk.com/video-171437921_456240354

>White Sun of the Desert / Бeлoe coлнцe пycтыни (1970) - A story of a Russian soldier in central Asia trying to survive his mission:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Auj_u7wEyw8

>Zerograd / Гopoд Зepo (1989) - A surrealist depiction of the late-USSR using the story of a man trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xTvqWQ7_gA

>They Fought for Their Country / Oни cpaжaлиcь зa Poдинy (1975) - A dreamlike interpretation of the Soviet defeats leading to the encirclement of Stanlingrad in WWII:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOxKScK1KOU

>Crime and Punishment / Пpecтyплeниe и нaкaзaниe (1970) - A dark, noirish depiction of the novel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXq0OYnNxPI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGRXWI046hw

And several others, but that's a start.

>>509565156
>sniper grandpa avenging granddaughter

>>509562329 (OP)
>promotes positive values like self-improvement and self-sacrifice
Putin wants his people powerless and meek, guess he got that covered.

>>509564672
For people who want to watch something light i'd recommend the Sherlock Holmes series.
>Zerograd / Гopoд Зepo (1989) - A surrealist depiction of the late-USSR using the story of a man trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare:
This movie is so good.

If something is not available on youtube it most likely exists on rutracker.
If you can't find subs for a rare film consider using AI translator. I watch some sport events like that.

>>509563036
Russians are child rapists, and that makes me less worried about you kikes siding with them.

Always fun to watch chihuahuas seethe at Russians at every opportunity.
Anyway, can't believe Seventeen Moments of Spring hasn't been mentioned. Such a classic.

>>509562329 (OP)
They are very uncreatively weird.

>>509566787
When, not if, we go to war with you Satanic garbage, I'll enjoy putting rounds into you russian invaders.

>>509562329 (OP)
No. But keep posting recommendations. I'm all ears. /pol/ has quite an interesting taste in tv and films. I'm surprised that even /a/ has denizens who recommended me really good tv shows from 70's and 80's like Columbo.

>>509562714
The Soviet filmography is a cornucopia of unlimited free media content always of decent quality, and if you like Dostoyevsky it's always going to be more than decent.

>>509562636
They are degenerates, it's just that they west has degenerated further in 2025 than the Soviets were in 1980. 1980's Soviets seem downright wholesome compared to the shit gay Jews put on TV today.

>>509567107
Funny how you say that and yet call me satanic. It's precisely for acting like this you're not treated seriously, and I'll enjoy doing the same to you.

I like the fool
