(1/2)after watching some films from the ussr and other Communist countries mainly yugoslavia and north korea i thought it will be good if I will watch a film about Communist and i selected this film which features the events of the October revolution of 1917 that was led by Vladimir Lenin Leon Trotsky and the man had this film for the 20th anniversary of the revolution Joseph Stalin of course the film was a propaganda but it was good i really enjoyed it it's free on YouTube i highly recommend you should watch this film even if not agree with Marxist ideology I myself don't agree with Communism but it's still a great piece of history and a pretty good film oh and the performance by Boris Shchukin as lenin was good
