* VindicatedByHistory: A rare case of this happening almost immediately. After UsefulNotes/JosefStalin signed a non-aggression pact with UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, the film was banned for its anti-Nazi themes. When the Germans broke off the pact and launched an invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the film was reinstated and became incredibly popular as a morale boost among the embattled Russian population.

* HarsherInHindsight: The movie's plot about [[ANaziByAnyOtherName heavily symbolized]] [[UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights Teutonic Knights]] hit the audience well enough in 1941 when the Nazi Germany invaded Soviet Union. In particular, the destruction of Pskov can be uncomfortable to watch knowing what happened to the Soviet cities that fell to the Nazis only a few years after the film debuted, one of which was Pskov itself, which suffered substantial damage during Operation Barbarossa.

** The action scenes have not aged well, especially those involving {{Undercranked}} cavalry, which look like they should be set to "Yakety Sax".

I would not go that far, anti-German does not equal anti-Nazi


* {{Anvilicious}}: Absolutely no attempt is made to be subtle about the film's pro-Russian, anti-German message. Considering that it was made just before World War II, when the Nazis invaded and committed untold atrocities against the people of Russia, it can definitely be considered a case of SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.
