This article is about the type of communication. For other meanings, see Propaganda (disambiguation). Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation, aimed at serving an age, the story was written in a very simplistic manner, so that the audience could clearly see who they could sympathize with.

Eisenstein's experiment was a success. Potemkin was a hit with Russian audiences, and it was released in limited venues around the world, where audiences responded positively. Even though the movie was made as propaganda, it was still a tremendously entertaining film that made Eisenstein's name as a great filmmaker.

The most famous scene from the movie is the massacre on the OdessaOdessa or Odesa ( Ukrainian Russian Turkish Hacibey is a Ukrainian portcity on the Black Sea and the center of country's Odes'ka oblast'. Population 1,012,500 (2004). From 1819 1858 Odessa was a free port. In Soviet times it was the most important trade p Steps, where ruthless Tsarist soldiers march down an endless flight of stairs in a rhythmic, machine-like fashion, slaughtering a crowd of innocents as they attempt to flee down the stairs before the soldiers reach them. This scene has been endlessly referenced in many motion pictures, with one of the most famous homages occurring in Brian De Palma's version of The Untouchables (and also spoofed in Woody Allen's Bananas and Terry Gilliam's Brazil).

Battleship Potemin was voted the greatest film of all time at the Brussels, Belgium, World's Fair in 1958. It also was voted as the greatest silent film of all time as well as the greatest foreign film of all time.

Independent filmmakers, restricted to limited exhibition outlets in a world of media conglomeration , can take heart from the fact that Battleship Potemkin, one of the most renowned films in the history of cinema and containing perhaps the best known sequence in the medium’s entire history, was initially seen only by small audiences of film society aficionados and trade unionists. In this sense, it represents one of the most successful instances of niche marketing the world has ever seen.

In its commercial format (on DVD, for example) the film is usually accompanied by pieces of classical music that have been subsequently added. In an attempt to update the film for the modern day, Pet Shop Boys have composed a new soundtrack which was performed for the first time in September 2004 at an open-air concert in Trafalgar Square, London with the Dresdner Sinfoniker orchestra.
