Stalin Thought of You (2009)
Overview
Over the course of his long career, Boris Efimov drew political cartoons about pretty much every important world event. He spent his entire career at periodicals and newspapers such as Pravda, meaning that for many years he drew under the most exacting, watchful eye of Stalin. In this film made just before his death in 2008 at the age of 108, Efimov explains in one of the many conversations with the director Kevin McNeer that his feelings about the dictator are ambivalent.
