lodyr - ivane perestiani (1932) #CoMoGeorgia

armenkino, but georgian director....your typical, tedious, slacker brought back into good soviet worker type film.....but with a mildly insane drunken interlude including terrifying tooth extraction....

GALOSH 18 / KALOSHI 18 (M. Alibegova, Nikolai Anoshchenko, N. Osinskaya, 1927) #CoMoGeorgia

when it's raining, your shoes get wet, you try to dry them, you fell asleep (you dream), and you burn them...


and it's still raining...


you need another pair...

The Adventures of a clerk Kulikov, hurrying to work in oversized galoshes, constitute the content of the film.

khuti tsuti / 5 minutes - aleksandr balagin, georgi zelondzhev-shipov (1928) #CoMoGeorgia


lenin is dead! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! the world weeps!

(no doubt these film-makers also got sent to the gulag, since there's way too much trotsky footage in this)

January 27, 1924, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Moscow time, on Red Square, the Soviet people buried Lenin.
In all places, work stopped for five minutes.
Plants and factories stopped.
The movement of trains, ships, and cars stopped.
The working people of England and France, Spain and China, Africa and America in great sorrow bowed their heads.
Also, Senator Mitch McConnell freezes in mourning for comrade Ulianoff...
