Feeling Revolution by Anna Toropova

Feeling Revolution by Anna Toropova

Feeling Revolution explores the important role played by film genres in cultivating the Stalin era's distinctive emotional values and norms -- ranging from happiness to hatred for enemies. Toropova's exploration of a wide variety of primary sources brings to light the Soviet film industry's battle to shape new forms of audience response.

Feeling Revolution reveals the inner workings of the Soviet film industry under Stalin, the stress on emotions represented onscreen and aroused among audiences, and the contradictions in trying to use cinema to cultivate "Soviet feelings"* Stephen M. Norris, Russian Review *
