This analysis explores Dziga Vertov's film "Three Songs of Lenin" (1934) within the context of Stalinist ideology and cinematic representation. By examining its historical significance, critical reception, and thematic elements, the paper argues that the film serves as an allegorical depiction that aligns with the cultural and political currents of the era. The study highlights how Vertov's work reflects and accommodates Stalinist narratives while also engaging with broader artistic trends, ultimately positioning the film as a significant artifact of Soviet cinema.
