Das große Schauspiel um Stalins Tod: Am 5. März 1953 starb Stalin in Folge eines Schlaganfalls. Die sowjetische Regierung ordnete ein viertägiges Staatsbegräbnis an. Der ukrainische Regisseur Sergei Loznitsa hat bis heute kaum gesichtetes Archivmaterial rund um das Begräbnis gesammelt und zu einem Essayfilm montiert: Eine Art dokumentarischer Rundumblick über den Personenkult.

The concept of this two-and-a-quarter-hour compiled documentary is simple – using official government footage and without offscreen commentary or music, it reconstructs events in the Soviet Union in the four days following Stalin’s death. However, Loznica uses properly restored archival materials, which originally served as communist propaganda, to emphasise the absurdity of the cult of personality while also uncovering its hollowness. The layered sound design and the repetition of shots that are similar in content show the extent to which veneration of the leader was based on the mechanical reproduction of the meaningless symbols and emblems of Stalinist iconography. 90%
