Mission to Moscow (1943) was a film made at the request of President Franklin D.Roosevelt.Its purpose was to show support of our ally, the Soviet Union, in fighting against the Axis powers, principally Nazi Germany, during World War II.Most will agree it was more propaganda than fact, embellishing Russia's advances in agriculture, commerce, and industry under Stalin while downplaying the purge trials of 1937
