Watch Fascist Boots on Our Homeland

FASCIST BOOTS ON OUR HOMELAND, made in the midst of the Second World War, is a stark animated short that portrays the Soviet Union as the last bulwark against the Nazi advance. In spite of the film's grave historical ironies ("Fascism brings massive destruction, starvation and death to hundreds of thousands and millions of people!"), its rhythmic rhetoric is characteristic of Soviet innovations in propaganda.
