Overview

A visual journey through the vastness of the Soviet Union, composed exclusively of archival footage shot between 1970 and 1973 by a group of Italian filmmakers. From the nomadic encampments of Central Asia to Red Square, from remote villages in the Caucasus to the far reaches of the Far East, the film reveals a mosaic of cultures that the regime sought to homogenize.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative archive of Soviet life across vast territories, composed entirely from rare 1970s Italian footage that quietly documents the human reality behind an empire bent on erasing regional difference. The film's unhurried gaze transforms historical material into something elegiac and layered.
