The Communist (Russian: Коммунист, romanized: Kommunist) is a 1957 Soviet drama film directed by Yuli Raizman. The Communist is one of the classic films of Soviet cinema. This is a story about an ordinary communist, a participant in one of the first Soviet construction projects, selflessly devoted to the cause. At that time, the film was innovative; director Julius Reisman managed to create not stilted, not flat, and multifaceted, complex image of the Builder of communism.
Story
The film takes place in 1919. Young communist Vasily Gubanov came to the construction of the power plant-the most important object for the young Republic. A demobilized communist front-line soldier Vasily Gubanov was in charge of the warehouse at the construction site of the power plant in Shatura and gave his work completely, from the outside it even seemed that such zeal in hard work was beyond human capabilities. And if the locomotive stopped because of lack of fuel, Vasily Gubanov one rushed to cut down the wood. And also, with full dedication, fiercely and selflessly, Vasily Gubanov knew how to love, but his life ended too soon.
