Soviet Toys | Советские игрушки | Sovjet Union Short documentary animation movie | by Dziga Vertov

Soviet Toys | Советские игрушки | is an Sovjet Union short drama animation movie. Written and Directed by Dziga Vertov. Dziga Vertov’s little-known propaganda cartoon, the first Soviet animated film, seems crude—but it’s more sophisticated than it looks, and was loaded with meaning for viewers in the tumultuous Soviet Union of 1924. “Soviet Toys” depicts a worker partnering with a peasant to defeat the machinations of a capitalist “NEPman,” a caricature of the entrepreneurs who blossomed under Lenin’s short-lived New Economic Policy.
