# COLD WAR SOVIET UNION TRAVELOGUE LENINGRAD AND MOSCOW 78664

Made for the home market in the 1950s, this silent travelogue shows Moscow and Leningrad in the Soviet Union. Certainly designed as a piece of propaganda, the film shows some of the mosques and cathedrals in the atheist state, and long bread lines (2:20) as well as shortages of many other basic supplies including bread (7:46) and transportation problems (2:46). The implication of course is that the so-called communist state is not a very successful country. It also shows men and women working side by side in factories (5 minutes), an agricultural fair and showplace (7:00), and a fish market (7:40) where fish are sold "live due to lack of refrigeration." The Moscow subway is seen at the 9:10 mark, and even this is described as a "single subway" by the inter titles.
