Interesting to watch a Russian "documentary" from WWII. I think I never had. Of course in the end it is the same kind of propaganda and morale booster everyone else did. I know the Russians re-enacted stuff after battles for their movies.
You see a lot of battle scenes but no actual battles. They show only captured or dead Germans. The camera is always steady, the pictures always sharp. A lot of the time it is filmed from very high angles in the open, probably from some kind of podest. But the biggest give away was a scene where you saw paratroopers jumping from planes with the narration claiming they were dropped behind enemy lines. And next you see them actually land so I guess the camera jumped behind enemy lines before ?? ;-)
But as I said that's the kind of things all parties did. But you need keep in mind this is propaganda not documentation.
