Dziga Vertov-directed Soviet newsreel covering: A peasant buys a receiver at the radio shop / Instructions to attach an antenna / A broadcast-station is developed / A concert is broadcast. Though only a third of this final issue of Kino-Pravda seems to survive, there still exists Aleksandr Bushkinâs time-lapse animation and the sequence in which, as Yuri Tsivian describes, âa cross-section of a photographically correct izba (Russian peasantâs log hut) is penetrated by schematically charted radio wavesââa testament to the magical properties and propagandistic uses of radio in reaching out to Russiaâs distant peasantry.
