Summary
These OFFICIAL PICTURES reflect Russia as she wishes to appear to the world. No unfavourable aspects of Russia are ever reported in her press newsreels, and USSR denies her own people newspictures from west of the Iron Curtain. - Mix to - Western democracy, however, has no such fears and we feel it would be wrong to suppress Soviet film news. Shown here is a great nation, armed and regimented as was Nazi Germany.
