Worker and Kolkhoz Woman - Use in Media

Use in Media

In Soviet cinema, Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa (Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) was chosen in 1947 to serve as the logo for the film studio Mosfilm. It can be seen in the opening credits of the film Red Heat, as well as many of the Russian films released by the Mosfilm studio itself.

In the 1997 film The Saint Treitiak uses a variation of The Worker and Kolkhoz woman holding a sword on campaign posters.

In the 2010 film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, once the Ministry of Magic is taken over by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters, a statue is placed in the Ministry Atrium depicting the new Ministry agenda: stone Muggles being squashed trying to hold up a tall column inscribed with the words "MAGIC IS MIGHT", and two large stone wizards, one male and one female, in a similar pose to this statue, holding their wands up.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
