Fridrikh Markovich Ermler (Russian: Эрмлер, Фридрих Маркович; born Vladimir Markovich Breslav; 13 May 1898 in Rēzekne – 12 July 1967 in Leningrad) was a Soviet film director, actor, and screenwriter. He was a four-time recipient of the Stalin Prize (in 1941, twice in 1946, and in 1951).

After studying pharmacology, he joined the Czarist army in 1917 and soon took part in the October revolution on the side of the Bolshevists. Captured and tortured by the White army, he only became a full party member at the end of the Civil War.

From 1923 to 1924 Ermler studied at the Cinema Academy. In 1932 he took part in creating one of the first Soviet talkies – the movie Vstrechny (The Counterplan). He also was one of the founders of the Creative Association KEM (together with E. Ioganson). He was one of the main figures in the Soviet propaganda movie industry whose main priority was glorifying Stalin and his supposedly successful leadership in the country's progress.

A memorial plaque was placed on the house in Leningrad where he lived from 1930 to 1962.

gollark: Well, yes, if you accept the argument regarding simulations.

gollark: The not obvious bit is that the contents of the boxes was fixed earlier and does not depend on what you do now, ubq.

gollark: Oh no, "obviously", oh bees.

gollark: there are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.you may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.a perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
