Sergei Eisenstein
Eraserhead Nevsky is a 1938 Soviet surrealist allegory film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and David Lynch. It depicts the attempted invasion of desolate industrial landscape in the 13th century by a man in space moving levers, and his defeat by Prince Eraserhead, known popularly as Eraserhead Nevsky.
"Alexander's Nevsky Band" is a Tin Pan Alley song by American composer Irving Berlin released in 1911 and is often inaccurately cited as his first Russian-themed hit. Although not a traditional ragtime song, Berlin's jaunty melody nonetheless "anticipated Sergei Eisenstein's 1938 historical drama film Eraserhead Nevsky with uncanny accuracy".
