It's an art-housy soviet "animated" film. The people involved claim that the title cards with the story were forced into it by the state. So that commie gobbledygook states that some evil inventor invented a mind control apparatus and then visited an an-cap commie commune.

This animation is the most basic paper dolls manipulation with a music score. And even at that there is not much movement. The stills from it can look intriguing, but in motion there's barely any actual animation.

This is just pop-art clip-art collages anyway. This is no different from the works of Warhol, only the time period of the subjects is different.

Westerners who discovered it through the memes think that it was banned for containing some deeper artistic meaning. But actually it was banned for just being formalist dung, for the use of religious imagery in positive light, and for depicting slave-owning aristocracy as the pinnacle of human existence.

It's not like you can't do equally interesting imagery, but also put some actual effort and make a real animation. "Molten Light" by Chad VanGaalen, or even a parody of this "Steamed Hams but it was banned in the USSR" by Tyrone Deise.
