"""World Socialist Cinema is an important and timely reminder that it is worth excavating and examining the legacy of Soviet culture in all its contradictions and complexity. In revealing its ways of building solidarity and alliances beyond neoliberal capitalism and its cultural production, Salazkina’s book shows the Tashkent festival to be a worthy place to start."" * Film Quarterly *"
