Abstract
The author compares the approaches of V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin towards religious films highlighting the practical methods of using cinema as an instrument of the government's anti-religious propaganda aimed at eradicating religious conscience of the population. The information is presented as an opposition of Lenin’s and Stalin’s film censorship in an attempt to identify the subjective reasons for the dissimilar policies of the first two Soviet leaders with regards to demonstrating religion on the screen.
