I bet my head that during the May holidays, Russians will lose the privileges of parallel distribution. To avoid being trapped in an information bubble, I recommend paying attention to Soviet films that are returning to screens in honor of the holidays.

In them, war is associated with broken destinies, dehumanization, endless pain, and loss. It seems these are truths that are important to keep in mind.

Lenfilm:
May 4 — Zhenya, Zhenechka and "Katyusha"
May 6 — The Chronicle of a Dive Bomber
May 8 — Torpedo Bombers
May 9 — The Ascent

Avrora
May 8 — Ballad of a Soldier
May 9 — Ivan's Childhood
May 10 — The Belorussian Station

Khudozhestvenny
May 8 and 9 — My Dear Man (free screening)

Rodina
May 9 — Trial on the Road

Rediscovering Soviet cinema can be difficult; we were fed enough of it as children as exemplary. But it is important to overcome this stigma to see the colossal amount of pain and reflection of the post-war years.

P.S. - Watch "The Cranes Are Flying" if you haven't seen it yet.
