Explain how the political, social and economic upheaval created by the aftermath of both the Russian Revolution and WW1 affected the production and content of classic Soviet Constructivist Cinema.

The Russian Revolution was a period of political and social change in the Russian Empire starting in 1917. It overthrew the imperial government and placed the Bolsheviks in power and saw Russia abolish its monarchy and adopt a socialist form of government following two successive revolutions and a civil war. Increasing governmental corruption, the reactionary policies of Tsar Nicholas II, and catastrophic Russian losses in World War I contributed to widespread dissatisfaction and economic hardship.
