Политическая сатира?

представляющее собой поэтическое уничижительное обличение явлений при помощи различных комических

средств: сарказма, иронии, гиперболы, гротеска, аллегории, пародии и др. Осмеиваются те явления жизни, которые представляются автору порочными. Сатирическими могут быть и целое произведение, и отдельные образы, ситуации, эпизоды. В сатире социальные или индивидуальные сумасбродства, злоупотребления критикуются при помощи бурлески, ироничности или других методов для того, чтобы вызвать улучшение.

содержащаяся в нём информация «может быть расценена как экстремистская, направленная на унижение достоинства российского (советского) человека», а выход фильма в канун 75-летия Сталинградской битвы назвали «плевком в лицо» 
«образчик идеологической борьбы с нашей страной»
«внедрение в сознание молодого поколения ложного, искажённого и унизительного представления о прошлом, а следовательно, и о настоящем нашей страны, являет собой огромную опасность»

when Russians who have seen the film say to me,

“Where in Moscow did you film this?” And I say, “In London”

“Stalin’s dacha is big, but it’s very empty. He wasn’t into gold bathrooms and ornaments and such. He was very, very functional. Power is what he was interested in”

“We shot it Pre-Trump, but when I started showing it to people, they seemed to think it was some commentary on contemporary events”
“I was thinking of democracy now and how it’s going through this strange phase: the strong personality becoming elected and then amassing power”
“-Ноw would you describe Stalin’s status in Russia? – Hitler is poison. Hitler is toxic. You wouldn’t get any portraits of Hitler in any hotels in Germany, but the Hotel we were staying at in Moscow had a portrait of Stalin up”

Putinism
A bold faced lie so audaciously transparent that it defies all conceivable logic. A lie ardently defended even when the liar knows that the person being told the lie knows it's a lie and that that person knows that he knows. Derived from the wildly bizarre claims and assertions of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in regards to nearly any situation.

Stalinist
Someone who upholds the USSR under Stalin's leadership as an appropriate and desirable model for society today. Modern Stalinist are recognized for their rejection of, what they label as, bourgeoise propaganda, against Stalin, and their constant conflict with other Stalinist over who is truly following his line.

“Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”

thought dawned on me, every decade has a dictatorship, such

as the one depicted in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. These dictatorships such as Iran, antebellum Iraq, and the Congo are built on human ego and the need for power, much like Stalin built his campaign for eastern domination. As Russia modernized we now see a more cordial and stable political environment but still, Russia regressing into political chaos seems to be a generic certainty.

rhetoric places him in unsavory company; the current pantheon of world rulers who share his disdain for the free press include Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, China’s Xi Jinping and the Philippines’s Rodrigo Duterte.


Of course, the flashy real-estate tycoon-turned-reality-TV-star-turned-foulmouthed president is arguably more like Charlie Chaplin’s buffoon character in “The Great Dictator” (1940) than the real Hitler or Stalin. Or perhaps Trump is more like Hollywood’s mean clown “Pennywise” — "Trumpywise" — insulting some, punching others and scaring the rest.
