Sovremennaja tema (di L. Trauberg) [30-05-1938] - [D075]

Concise description of the directive:

It is important to introduce current topics in Soviet cinema. The greatest merit of Balzac, Thackeray and Gogol was that they began to describe the great characters and conflicts of the reality around them. It was a real breakthrough, a departure from Romantic art. We must address current topics because our contemporary reality demands to be expressed in our art.
