Not only political candidates, but whole countries embarking on a new system of government promise the world in poetry and then govern in prose. In the U.S., a middle-class revolution beginning in 1776 seemed to guarantee that our nation would be the shining city on the hill, but slavery, the Civil War, and countless brutal and unnecessary wars of our various administrations in Washington belie those ideals. So it was with the Soviet Union.

"Dear Comrades!" Is the Story of Two Russian Families and a Century of Terror


Save this story for later.
Andrei Konchalovsky’s “Dear Comrades!,” Russia’s entry this year for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film (streaming on Hulu), opens with the chords of the Russian national anthem. The director was five or six years old when his father, Sergei Mikhalkov, first co-wrote the lyrics for the anthem, which included praise for Lenin and Stalin. Decades later, Mikhalkov rewrote the lyrics to remove Stalin, and, in 2000, immediately after Vladimir Putin became President, Mikhalkov, then in his eighties, rewrote the lyrics yet again, omitting Lenin and, for the first time, invoking a supreme deity rather than a cult of personality: “From the southern seas to the polar edge / Our forests and fields have stretched. / You are the only one in the world! The only one like this / Our native land, protected by God.”

'Dear Comrades!' review: The brilliance of Andrei Konchalovsky


Print
Andrei Konchalovsky’s “Dear Comrades!” dramatizes the deadly events of June 2, 1962, when Soviet government forces fired into a crowd of unarmed protesters in the southern Russian city of Novocherkassk. It took 30 years for the tragedy to be revealed and reckoned with: The bodies were buried in secret and all news of the bloody crackdown was meticulously suppressed, never to be officially investigated and brought to light until 1992, after the Soviet Union’s collapse. Another three decades would pass before the massacre would be memorialized in Konchalovsky’s blistering new film, the latest fascinating object in a career that has swerved unpredictably from Russia to Hollywood and back again. (The movie has been chosen to represent Russia in the Oscar race for international feature.)

Russian Oscars entry Dear Comrades! puts a Putin-era spin on Stalin-era history


Of course, arch-conservative leanings are hardly unusual for Russian cultural figures who get exported abroad, though they are rarely recognized as such in different social climes further West. The problem is that Konchalovsky, who peaked as a director around
Runaway Train in 1985, no longer displays the talent to back them up. This is how he articulates the ambitions of
Dear Comrades!: It’s in black and white and Academy ratio. If it looks like an award-winning art film, then, by golly, it must be one.
In fact, the first act of the film—also its strongest stretch—is basically a comedy. The protagonist, Lyuda (Yuliya Vysotskaya), is a fortysomething functionary in Novocherkassk, a small city with a major electric locomotive industry. Outside of stultifying Communist Party committee meetings, she is carrying on an affair with a married KGB investigator, Loginov (Vladislav Komarov). The USSR is still in the midst of the reformist Khrushchev Thaw, but the local mood is low; food prices are rising and there are shortages of kefir and milk.

Review: 'Dear Comrades!' is a meticulous historical recreation of a 1962 true Russian crime

Russia’s official entry for this year’s international feature Academy Award is a film about Soviet forces massacring their own people — a true 1962 crime that was covered up for a good three decades afterward.
So, things have changed, as “Dear Comrades!” shows us with meticulous historical re-creation, searing anger and devastating pain. But it does so at a time when Russians across that vast nation are protesting in support of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and a month after a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol, which makes the film’s scenes of angry rioters threatening bureaucrats and trashing government buildings look all too recent — even despite the film being in ’60s-style, square-framed black-and-white.

Dear Comrades! review – dreams and disillusionment of a Communist party stalwart

Veteran film-maker, screenwriter, theatre and TV director Andrei Konchalovsky’s career is nothing if not eclectic. He co-wrote Tarkovsky’s 1966 classic
Andrei Rublev, while his directorial CV ranges from an acclaimed 1970 adaptation of Chekhov’s
Uncle Vanya to Venice prize winners
The Postman’s White Nights and
Paradise,
Runaway Train
Tango & Cash, from which he was removed mid-shoot.
Konchalovsky’s latest (once again feted at Venice) is among his finest work, a harrowing drama set in 1962, in the provincial USSR town of Novocherkassk. Julia Vysotskaya plays Lyudmila (AKA Lyuda), a stalwart party official who served as a battlefield nurse during the second world war, and who retains a nostalgic devotion to Stalinist ideals in the age of Khrushchev. “What am I supposed to believe in if

Dear Comrades! review - Andrei Konchalovsky exposes the Soviet past


Veteran Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky has gone back to his beginnings for his latest film.
Veteran Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky has gone back to his beginnings for his latest film. The real-life events on which
Dear Comrades! is based took place in June 1962, when social unrest over rising prices saw strikes break out in Novocherkassk, an industrial town in Russia’s south, culminating in street protest against the Soviet regime. The very idea of such an uprising was, of course, anathema in the “workers’ paradise” that was the communist system, and it was brutally suppressed by the Kremlin. The extent of the casualties was concealed, the dead secretly buried, and the events practically written out of history for almost four decades.
