Chapter 222: Propaganda Strategy

First, I would like to apologize for today's delay

Yanayev's red-headed documents in the direction of the **** were distributed like snowflakes in the form of paper to all Soviet cadres. In the document, he clearly stressed the need to guard against the emergence of **** ideological trends to prevent the Soviet Union from being brought to the other extreme. This document was like a slap in the face, slammed in the face of those who believed that the Soviet Union had returned to communism.

Yanayev also insisted that to prevent his own ideological infiltration was to build an equally sufficient faith, that merely devaluing the democratic and liberal values of his opponents was not a long-term solution, and that the Soviet Union itself had to have a belief that was sufficiently certain to preserve relations between the Soviets and the member states. In order to maintain national unity, the Soviets took communism as the goal of cohesion, but they forged the largest bureaucratic and privileged system in the world.

Therefore, the ideological values of a high degree of integration of socialism and patriotism naturally came into the scope of Yanayev's consideration. Patriotism has been instrumental in bringing together people of different colors and beliefs in the United States.

Yanayev also put forward the slogan of supporting the Soviet government as loving the motherland to the member states, which played a major role in the Great Patriotic War, but later the ostensibility of the Soviet propaganda apparatus led to the self-denial of patriotism by the bureaucracy.

For this reason, in terms of the form of propaganda, Yanayev also approached Surkov as a candidate to lead a new era of Soviet propaganda institutions, and he entrusted this heavy responsibility to Surkov's shoulders. Yanayev's demand was that patriotism must be imperceptibly infiltrated into the public consciousness in a way that the masses of the people would like. And it has to be a form that people are happy to accept. Don't give the impression that it's a deliberate and brainless praise from the authorities.

"Draw with a drawing. Movie. Painting and other forms, especially to capture the younger generation of children, who can no longer accept the erosion of the so-called liberal values of the West. Yanayev reminded.

"Drawing, propaganda pictorials? However, in the case of the poster, the actual effect was not satisfactory. Surkov kindly reminded. The stupid pigs of the Propaganda Department almost pushed the image of the Soviet Union into the abyss, and also verified the statement that the propaganda departments of socialist countries are almost all enemies of the state.

"No, no, no, the posters are also too rigid. It will give people the feeling that this is the official deliberate. "We can use the form of a cartoon to make children and young people more receptive to such propaganda, and to imperceptibly influence the support for the Motherland, the people, and the Soviets." ”

"Comics?" Surkov was slightly stunned, it was the first time he had heard such a fresh statement.

As a traverser, Yanayev certainly knows the impact of comics, such as the right wing of the island country in order to promote and glorify militarist ideas to those dead houses.

"Yes, comics. For example, we can personify the whole world in terms of animal anthropomorphism, and the Soviet Union can be a giant bear. And the United States is the eagle, and then France is the Gallic chicken. Britain is John the Bull, China is the rabbit. Expressing international events in such a way that the younger generation likes. And the plot of patriotism is mixed into the cartoons, and it is expressed in such a way that the masses like it, without making it seem that we are singing praises to ourselves. ”

"This is really a very vivid way of expression, and only General Secretary Yanayev can think of it." Surkov lamented that this was not sycophancy, but admiration for the general secretary's idea.

"Comrade Surkov, you cultural workers should also go deeper into the people to find out what they really like, and it is an act of detachment from the masses to bury one's head in hard work and not think about it." Yanayev kindly reminded.

If the old guys in the Soviet Union could have half the vision of their own traversers, the Propaganda Department of that year would not have been infiltrated by the two traitors of the CPSU who were promoted by **********.

"In the case of the movie, we can try to downplay the role and influence of the political party in it, for example, during World War II, we should show more of the government and the singing and weeping spirit of the Red Army soldiers, and express that while they are fighting and dedicating themselves to the great motherland, the Soviets and the motherland have not forgotten them, remember, we must combine small people and big events to improve the positive image of the Soviet Union in many ways."

Speaking of which, Yanayev's first thought is the two movies "Soldiers in the City" and "Stalingrad", although the plots of Hollywood's black Soviet Union have always been continued in the Soldiers in the City, but just as Americans like the Black Soviet Union and then go black and black and then go black and Ula themselves, in terms of storytelling, "Soldiers in the City" is still quite good.

If these works in the United States are plagiarized, the effect should be quite good. For example, the Soviet version of "Fury", the Soviet version of "Saving Private Ryan", and the Soviet version of "Band of Brothers", although there is no Oscar and no box office in socialist countries, it is enough to beat the Hollywood movies of the same year in the West.

Of course, Yanayev only told Surkov what he thought, and the specific writing had to be studied by the directors of the Moscow Film Studio, and these things should be left to Surkov, the Minister of Propaganda, to worry about, who called him in charge of the propaganda of the Soviet Union.

"We need to come out at least a year with a high-quality film that is good enough to rival the Oscars, to put Western Hollywood to shame, and at the same time to reverse our promotional disadvantage." Yanayev said with some pride. If he hadn't crossed over to Yanayev, at least he should have made a movie, at least he could have won an Oscar for Best Director.

"One a year?" Surkov was a little dumbfounded, even he did not dare to guarantee that there were no uneven gaps in the script of the film he wrote, but where did the general secretary get his confidence?

"Yes." Yanayev affirmed that the outline provided by him, the scripts and filming of the best directors in Moscow, almost unlimited funds for the filming of these films.

"By the way, I am very interested in the cartoon that the general secretary said before, does the general secretary plan to give this cartoon a name?" Regarding the cartoons personally mentioned by the General Secretary of the CPSU, Surkov did not dare to slack off and wanted to settle the plan earlier.

"Name." Yanayev held his forehead and thought for a moment, and then said, "The name is "Those Things About the Bear That Year". (To be continued.) )
