Once Russia was taken over by the Bolsheviks, they turned Russia's burgeoning small film industry into another propaganda mouthpiece. Sergei Eisenstein was Russia's greatest filmmaker, and consequently made some great propaganda films. His greatest is arguably Battleship Potemkin (1925). Here is the most famous sequence from the film, known as the Odessa Steps sequence. It is about a group of Russians of various classes attacked by tsarist troops during the Revolution of 1905.
