  • Little Vera, made at Gorky Film Studio and released in 1988, is a film by the Russian film director Vasili Pichul. As the Russian word vera means faith, the title symbolizes the characters' lack of hope (or a glimmer thereof). The film was the leader in ticket sales in the Soviet Union in 1988 with 54.9 million viewers, and it was the most successful Soviet film in the US since Moscow Does not Believe in Tears. Part of its popularity was due to its status as one of the first Soviet movies with explicit sexual scenes. The movie's main character and namesake is a teenage girl, who just having finished school feels trapped within her provincial town. With its pessimistic and cynical view of Soviet society, the film was typical of its time, during which many such films, collectively known as chernukha, were released. However, the film's popularity did not prove long lived. The film received 6 awards and was nominated for 8 additional. Among its wins, it received "Best Actress" for Natalya Negoda at the Nika Awards in 1989, and the film's director, Vasili Pichul, received the Special Prize of the Jury at the 1988 Montreal World Film Festival and FIPRESCI Prize at the 1988 Venice Film Festival. The soundtrack's main theme consists of two songs performed by Soviet sex symbol Sofia Rotaru "Bylo no proshlo" (It Was, But It Has Gone) and "Tol'ko etogo malo" (Only This Is Not Enough), "the leitmotif of the perestroika classic Little Vera".
