HOW RUSSIANS PLAY (1949)

Year Published: 1949

Creator: International Film Foundation

Description: In the belief that a study of the way people spend their leisure time, of their own free will, often reals a great deal about their character, this film has been made. It pictures Russian people in their amusement parks, zoos, theaters, museums and art galleries, excursions, and camps. It follows them to the bathing beaches and goes with them on their mountain hikes. It introduces the popular Russian game, Gorodki, and gives a glimpse of Russian soccer. Russians like their demonstrations on a grand scale and the film closes with a sequence on an International Youth Day celebration. International Film Foundation. IFF
