Most Russian critics were dazzled by the work, but Stalin apparently was not.

The division between Russian and Western critics remained through much of the 20th century but for a different reason.

Praised by Russian critics, the film is warm, sometimes humorous, but not sentimental.

The exhibition received a positive reception from Russian critics, one of whom wrote:

Russian critics wrote of Hemingway that only 10 percent is on the surface; 90 percent is under water.

Russian critics were not wowed: they thought it looked ominously German.

Ratings have not yet been released, and so far Russian critics have responded coolly to both approaches.

I do not remember who of the Russian critics said that "Pushkin is our everything."

The film received mostly negative reviews from both Russian and western critics.

Close to the so-called 'natural school', they were praised by Russian radical critics of the time.
