"Even so, Bed and Sofa was controversial at the time of release in the Soviet Union, due to its focus on human relationships, while the state and the party are almost completely disregarded. In fact, at one point Kolya even declines to go to a Party meeting. In addition, the film's resolution is ambiguous and comes about without any input from the collective" It seems to me that you are exaggerating, although there may have been such reviews, but in general the film was positively evaluated in the USSR Цйфыву (talk) 19:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"The film is a frank portrayal of sexual manners of the 1920s, as well as the living conditions in Moscow in the time, which are in sharp contrast to the official picture of a state where everything was to be the perfect idyll of Soviet life. Abram Room had intended not only to make a picture exploring the social problems of urban life during the last years of the New Economic Policy (1921–28), but specifically to support the state's campaign against the sexual freedom of the revolutionary years and against abortion on demand" Well, here it is worth noting that the government itself and the party in the USSR at that time did not promote any strong family perfect idyll of Soviet life, since the government and the party themselves were not united due to the intra-party struggle between different groupings in the party, and all the same the same abortions and homosexual relationships were allowed, and the theory of a glass of water and Swedish families, although they were not supported and even criticized by the Soviet government, were still not prohibited at that time and were nevertheless born of revolutionary events and changes in society Цйфыву (talk) 19:51, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
