In Soviet times, during 50-70th, newsreels like “Our Land” (“Nash Krai”), “Time, Forward!” and many others. Newsreels consisted of a set of stories about life of the country and were formed like a newspaper – starting from big politics and finishing with culture and sport. These newsreels were created mostly to promote the Soviet lifestyle and only sometimes were neutrally humane.
