There are those that are irrationally obsessed with the sordid, imagined or real but if you think about the conditions that the "liberated" had been living in, some for months, others for years, I am sure most if not all of them would have been happy to have been distracted for a short while by watching a "talkie" - no matter how glaringly propagandist it was. Sometimes any escape is a good thing and you catch more flies with honey.

Speaking of honey, I can't help but notice that "solodkiy" means "sweet" in Ukrainian...
