ABSTRACT
It is not difficult to decipher the inner sense of this judgement by Comrade Lenin. The fact that Lenin was ready to grant pride of place to cinema among the other arts shows that in art he valued above all its colossal agitational and propagandistic force. Art, images, a gripping plot, thrilling combinations of sounds, lines and colours - all this penetrates even into a consciousness that is not yet prepared for more or less abstract scientific figurative understanding.
