Document Summary
Littrans 204 - lecture 24 - ivan the terrible and sinyavsky"s pkhentz (4/3) Ivan the terrible was made under the censorship of the ussr. Tsetsar considers it a masterpiece made by a genius. His conversation counterpart considers the artist to be a dog following masters orders, something geniuses don"t do. Ivan the terrible had a similar story to the stalin regime. Ivan provided power to his army to persecute anyone of treason or other crimes. Many people of the boyar (upper class during ivan the terrible"s time) disappeared. Stalin disappeared many people under baseless premises by declaring them the enemy of the people. Helps explain to the audience why someone might become a tyrant. An interesting perspective introduced -- cultured people talk and interact in ways that cannot be understood by uneducated people like shukhov. It seems like dogs sniffing each other"s scent. The sense of privilege among educated people.
