About the movie: In the 1970s, the film was shelved and seldom shown on film or television. The theme of Stalin’s post-war terror was clearly evident in the film, which did not correspond to the mood of the time. The film and its role in Soviet cinematography resurfaced after 1985 with the advent of perestroika.
