“The film “Alexander Nevsky ”was released on the screen on December 1, 1938 and earned national recognition. Sergei Eisenstein was awarded the Order of Lenin, received the Stalin Prize and the title of Doctor of Art History. After the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the film was withdrawn from the box office. In 1941, with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, he returned to the screens.
