Not just censorship, but looking at what happened with Tarkovsky, being exiled for simply not returning to the USSR. I know Hollywood did the same at the time regarding film 'guidelines', I'm just curious if there's more context to the USSR's rather strict attitude with film? Or is this just western propaganda I'm swallowing?
There's a real "it's only censorship when my opinions are being censored" that often gets passed along as unbiased neutrality in more reactionary places, so I'm always curious with a differently worded version of this question: Was censorship in the USSR fundamentally worse than in the US?
The answer(s) might be different across lines like race, gender, etc..
Yeah that would have been a much better way to phrase the question.
