The October Revolution in Russia: Was it a national catastrophe that interrupted the natural course of the country’s development, or the beginning of a powerful breakthrough from age-old backwardness? The film tells about the fate of people who endured the impossible burden — they raised a country that was not ready for it. They had incredible plans — to organize a world revolution. But their lives were cut off just as tragically as the fate of the Russian Empire that they had crushed.
