Synopsis
The Soviet Union experienced from its very beginning a constant tension between the prefiguration of the “new man” and the expulsion of the social typologies of the past. The Soviet cinematograph was conceived as a museum where one could see for the last time the “specimens” in extinction: the aristocrat, the landowner, the bourgeois and the criminal.
