Клятва (1946)

흥미로운 사실

The Vow is a 1946 Soviet film directed by Mikheil Chiaureli. It is considered a representation of Joseph Stalin's cult of personality.

Production

Director Mikheil Chaiureli began planning The Vow already in 1939, after the release of his previous picture, The Great Dawn - which, set before the October Revolution, was the first film to clearly portray Stalin as Lenin's indispensable aide and acolyte.

The production of The Vow was delayed by the Second World War, during which the personality cult of Stalin was set aside in favour of patriotic motifs, to encourage the populace to resist the enemy. Even before the German surrender, as victory seemed secure, the cult gradually began its return to the screen; after 1945, it reached new heights, much more than before the war.

Playwright Iosef Prut, who was present when Chiaureli held a screening for Stalin, recounted that the Soviet premier disapproved of the ending scene, in which he was shown kissing Varvara's hand, telling the director he never kissed a woman's hand in his life. Chiaurely replied "the people know better what Stalin does and doesn't do."
