 Arsenal
Arsenal is, on the one hand, quite primitive-looking and features some striking departures from the principles of socialist-realism supposedly already being enforced by Soviet film/political authorities at the time of its release (such as the horse who speaks, in intertitles of course, as Soviet cinema was to remain silent for several more years).
The overall effect of Arsenal is quite at odds with other familiar Soviet films made at the same time, such as Eisenstein's The Old and the New (formerly The General Line, 1929) – even if these may have been to some extent influenced by Dovzhenko's movie.
This is certainly not what is supposed to characterise a pamphlet or a propaganda film addressed mainly at Russian (and Ukrainian) peasants of the late 1920s, warning them against nationalism (as opposed to internationalism and class-allegiance) and prepare them for the next move in farm collectivisation and the upcoming change in agricultural policy.
