In the original version of the film, the creators of which immediately correctly predict the role of those. Stalin in October 17th was not destined, Ilyich without him as without hands, and in the corrected (a quarter of a century later: something from Orwell) Stalin disappeared completely, and Lenin, in pondering over the map of Petrograd, an obvious demiurge, both versions look historically true in the film. In the rest, everything is as in Soviet textbooks up to the very end of the USSR: traitors to the political pupils Kamenev-Zinoviev, a standing ovation to the leader on the podium ... no, of course, Trotsky.
Touching are the manifestations of the love of ordinary people to personally modest Ilyich. Revolutionary soldiers-sailors, not burning with a desire to defend the Motherland at the front, strictly follow his calls, without being distracted by looting. One definitely feels the complacent triumph of the Winners, who, having carried out a violent coup in October 17, were lucky to seize power by riding a fucking mare - in an unpretentious popular way - without fetishizing the stupid fuss with honest counting of votes in the all-state elections of the Constituent Assembly and other democratic nonsense, which then led, let us not forget, to emigration and the Civil War.
The episode with a “very sensible letter” about the murder of landlords at one time clearly inspired the composition of anti-Soviet jokes.
