History

The film is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution and was withdrawn by order of the "October Jubilee Commission" under the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR.[3]

Particular attention was paid to the "part apparatus" Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Esfir Shub and Boris Barnet. But if Eisenstein's films - "Oktyabr", Pudovkina - "The End of St. Petersburg" and Shub - "The Great Way", became widely known, then Barnet's film was not very popular and was soon removed from the "big screen", made only a few copies of the film.[4]

Despite a small rental in the USSR, special criticism from the press did not follow, as it was known - the script was agreed with ""Eastpart"" and was viewed not only by the commission responsible for the preparation of solemn events, but even at the next plenum of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.[4][3]

The film was not completely preserved: several parts were lost during the course of the Second World War.[3]
