Doing a Google search of it, there doesn’t seem to be that much of a ballyhoo. As far as Russian films conquering American filmgoers is concerned, dream on. Compare the popularity of American films seen in Russia to the popularity of Russian films seen in the U.S.
There’s no use in proving this fact, for Eisenstein is widely regarded as the most outstanding director in history. After all, Orson Wells copied some Soviet features, making his masterpiece.
The Soviets actually had a film industry?
Totally unbeknownst to me, they did!
Lenfilm, a film studio based in Leningrad, was the second-largest production company in the Soviet Union, after Mosfilm, the Moscow studio. At its height in the 1960s and early 1970s, when a cluster of young filmmakers began making adventurous new movies, it produced up to fifty films a year. These ranged from The Amphibian Man (1962), a science fiction movie about a man with shark gills, to A Boy and a Girl (1966), a film about two young people’s holiday relationship that was banned immediately after its release.
What is the topic here?
The idea that there was some sort of rivalry between Russian and Hollywood cinema is silly, especially one in which Russia ‘wins’.
However, the artistic value of modern American movies is much lower than that of Russian ones.
It’s like those old Ensign Chekov lines about Russian inventors and such. “Oh, yes, Shakespeare, famous Russian writer.”
You seem to have very wide gaps in your knowledge of American history
I agree. To actually challenge the U.S. film industry, the Soviets would have had to establish a strong foothold internationally, and they simply didn’t do it.
That is your opinion. BTW, what is your opinion of the movie “Darling Lili”, besides the fact that you liked Julie Andrews in other movies?
Russian TV series definitely battle past their American peers, even though the degradation of Russian cinema is something obvious.
What does this mean?
Do you mean that Russian TV shows are more popular than American TV shows? Or, more artistic? Or, what?
Operator doesn’t work perfectly. And I have noticed that there’s something rhotic in the word ‘star’ in Andrews’ speech.
The distribution channels extant in the 1920s-1940s were so poor that British films had a challenge finding wide American success. The idea that the films of a country with a non-capitalist economic system performed in a language with no commonalities to the English tongue would do better in the US because ‘reasons’ shows a deep, deep, ignorance of how the film industry actually developed.
I had bit parts in some of those when I lived in Russia. I usually ended up being embarrassed for having participated. (The money was good though! 
)
Adjective noun adverb verb conjunction preposition adjective noun back at ya!
I don’t understand why American TV series are more popular, because their artistic value is certain to be much lower that that of Russian TV series. It would appear that bots have been watching them, therefore they’re likely to be so “popular”
So you didn’t like the movie?
He’s obviously never watched Happy Together (the Russian version of Married … with Children). 
This can’t be! I’m assured that the artistic merit of Russian TV is, practically without exception, better than US TV.
It opens with a Tchaikovsky melody, so there!
