Roman Karmen
Roman Lazarevich Karmen (Russian: Рома́н Ла́заревич Карме́н) (16 November 1906 Odessa – 28 April 1978 Moscow) was a Soviet war camera-man and film director and one of the most influential figures in documentary film making; insofar as his propaganda is concerned, he could be considered USSR's equivalent to Leni Riefenstahl, though the comparison is by no means absolute.

Famous quotes containing the word roman:
“This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
