Anatoli Opritov

Performance at the Maly Theater from the novel by the Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky.

The film traces the path of the hero (formerly an ensign and a Knight of St. George, and then a talented commander of the Red Army) from the Civil War to the Great Patriotic War.

Based on the play of the same name by Maxim Gorky.

A female commissar is sent to the naval detachment, led by the anarchist Vozhak, on behalf of the Party Central Committee. She is tasked with subordinating the sailors to the cause of the revolution.

Ostrovsky and the Maly Theatre tell us an age-old story, as old as the world itself, about how some people are destined to be simple and meek, like sheep, while others are predatory and dangerous, like wolves. However, sometimes even the most seasoned predator finds themselves in a bind...

Based on the eponymous novel by A.I. Herzen.

Early 20th century. Two village boys, brothers Semyon and Pavel, work as servants for a Moscow merchant. They face harsh exploitation and hard labor. The brothers' paths diverge. Unable to endure the merchant's abuse, Pavel leaves for a factory, becomes a worker, and later a revolutionary. Semyon remains in service. In the post-revolutionary period, Semyon, having served at the front and returned to the village, joins the kulaks and brutally cracks down on representatives of the Soviet government, becoming the leader of a gang of "badgers" hiding in the forests. A Red Army detachment led by Pavel is sent to fight the bandits.
