Re: Contemporary/New Russian Cinema (1991-) (none / 0)

It was not for nothing that Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, told Soviet media that he hadn't seen any angels up there. Many a Russian Christian was doubtless hurt by his remark.

So what?

Re: Contemporary/New Russian Cinema (1991-) (none / 1)

Sorry, I didn't make the Gagarin remark clear. The comment by the top hero of his day in the USSR
was hailed as a contribution underpinning Soviet teachings against religion. The brutal persecution of religious denominations, including the execution as well as the imprisonment of the clergy, is one of the darkest chapters of Soviet history. It's one of the many Soviet themes that might offer subjects for the Russian cinema today.
