Does anyone have a breif idea about this topic, and to make matters worse the effects it had on Russian Cinema at the time. Any knowledge or advice would be appreceiated

Well, from the book I am reading at the moment, "Communism: A brief History" by Richard Pipes, Stalin had a liking for comedy films.

On a more serious note, I've seen good book reviews about Russian Culture "Natasha's Dance" by Figes(?). You could try this as an intro to its historical context.

Have a look at Ivan the terrible Parts I & II to see how much political commentry could be made at the time.

Part III wasn't made 'cos Stalin recognised who Ivan was...
