What happens
The Fall of Berlin (Russian: Падение Берлина, romanized: Padeniye Berlina) is a 1950 Soviet two-part epic war and propaganda film. It was produced by Mosfilm Studio and directed by Mikheil Chiaureli, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Pyotr Pavlenko, and a musical score composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. Portraying the history of the Second World War with a focus on a highly positive depiction of the role Soviet leader Joseph Stalin (played by Mikheil Gelovani) played in the events, it is considered one of the most important manifestations of Stalin's cult of personality, and a noted example of Soviet realism. After De-Stalinization, the film was banned in the Eastern Bloc for several decades. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
