True Soviet Realism

[Ivan Betinov]

As some of you may know, I serve the Party by educating young minds in the proper thoughts and the correct feelings about them.  Our department has a capstone course in which the aspiring scholars, among other things, research and write a substantial (at least by modern standards) paper.

For your reading pleasure I give you this gem of what I sincerely hope was a typo, and my response:

Eisenstein’s career and artistic expression found itself douched in revolutionary kerosene, ignited by a limitless inferno of creativity.

You need to turn down the purple prose by about 95%.  You just gave Sergei Eisenstein a kerosene enema.  And then set fire to it.
