Romm, MI (English spelling) RommMI

...The period when talkies began to be produced overlapped with the period when socialist construction was being promoted, and Soviet films of the 1930s made socialist realism their highest priority. Representative works of the new realism include Project Echo (1932), co-directed by F.M.Ermler and S.I.Yutkevich, which was about the achievement of the Five-Year Plan that began in 1927; Chapayev (1934), a heroic epic about the Civil War directed by the Vasiliev brothers; and We from Kronshtadt (1936), directed by E.L.D.Zigan, which depicts the heroic struggle of sailors in the battle against the White Army. Soviet films had traditionally portrayed groups rather than specific individuals as protagonists, but director MI Romm (1901-71) portrayed Lenin as a human being in the context of the historical course of the October Revolution in his films Lenin in October (1937) and Lenin in 1918 (1939).
[The Great Patriotic War and its aftermath]
In 1941, the Soviet Union faced its greatest crisis with the German invasion, but during this "Great Patriotic War," documentaries were made to boost the morale of the people, including L. Varlamov's Stalingrad (1943). Other films produced included Earth on Fire (1944), a film adaptation of Vasilevskaya's novel by MS Donskoi (1897-1981), and Zoya (1944), directed by L. Arnshtam, about an 18-year-old partisan girl who fought in the war to defend the Patriotic Homeland.

…トーキーがつくり始められたときと社会主義的建設が推進された時期とが重なり合い，30年代のソビエト映画は社会主義リアリズムを最高の課題にかかげ，1927年から始まった5ヵ年計画の達成をテーマとしたエルムレルF.M.ErmlerとユトケビチS.I.Yutkevich共同監督の《呼応計画》(1932)，ワシリエフ兄弟監督の内戦の英雄的叙事詩ともいうべき《チャパーエフ》(1934)，白軍との戦闘における水兵の英雄的なたたかいを描いたジガンE.L.Dzigan監督の《われらクロンシタットより》(1936)などが新しいリアリズムの代表作である。ソビエト映画は特定の個人ではなく集団を主人公として描いてきたが，ロンムM.I.Romm(1901‐71)監督は，十月革命の歴史的な道程のなかのレーニンを人間的にとらえて《十月のレーニン》(1937)，続いて《一九一八年のレーニン》(1939)をつくった。
