Mikhail Romm (1901-71) foi um dos grandes nomes do cinema soviético clássico, autor de obras tão diferentes quanto PYSHKA / “BOLA DE SEBO”, ainda no período mudo, que adapta a novela de Maupassant, e “O FASCISMO ORDINÁRIO”, um filme de montagem sobre a representação do poder sob o nazismo. Como tantos cineastas soviéticos da sua geração, Romm foi um intelectual, que muito refletiu e escreveu sobre cinema. Foi professor durante muitos anos e vários dos seus alunos tornaram-se célebres. Dois deles, Marlen Khutsiev e Elem Klimov, completaram este filme sobre as duas guerras mundiais, que a morte impediu o realizador de concluir. O título originalmente previsto por Romm, cuja voz narra o filme, era “O Mundo de Hoje”.

Romm's "Ordinary Fascism" pulls out all the stops in its selection of documentary material to draw the viewer not only into absolute horror about fascism and nazism in the 1920s–1940s Europe, but also to a firmest of convictions that nothing of the sort should be allowed to happen again anywhere in the world.
