In Soviet Russia, the term “Kornilovets” became synonymous with the terry counter-revolutionary. The myth of the "Kornilov rebellion" became one of the cornerstones of the "History of the Great October Socialist Revolution" repeatedly edited and purified. According to him, in August 1917, General Lavr Kornilov planned to restore the power of the landowners and capitalists in Russia. The film does not only document these myths, but objectively tells about one of the most tragic figures of Russian history.

We are looking for ourselves (our place) in the disturbing present, in the vague future, sometimes looking into the past, we avert our eyes in fright. Meanwhile, in our country, not on that European patch where we hustle, constantly complaining, but on the whole vast Russian expanse, another life breathes. It depends little on everything that is commonly called the values of civilization, but it breathes deeply. The harsh nature of the north, vast deserted expanses, sea and river fisheries, as one of the main sources of life support, all this formed a unique way of life for Russia, its own culture and even its own special language, which Lomonosov attributed along with Russian and "Little Russian" to the three main Russian dialects. All this together created a completely special human type, a special “Pomor character”, rooted in the White Sea land and absolutely self-sufficient in this rootedness. close
