Made as a Soviet-realist propaganda work by the GOSKINO at the Mosfilm studio, it portrays the activities of Lenin at the time of the October Revolution. All Stalin scenes were expunged from the film for its reissue in 1958 as a result of de-stalinisation. ## Credits - **Director:** [Mikhail Romm](https://cinepixo.com/people/mikhail-romm), [Dmitri Vasilyev](https://cinepixo.com/people/dmitri-vasilyev) - **Screenplay:** [Aleksei Kapler](https://cinepixo.com/people/aleksei-kapler) - **Original Music Composer:** [Anatoly Nikolayevich Alexandrov](https://cinepixo.com/people/anatoly-nikolayevich-alexandrov) - **Director of Photography:** [Boris Volchek](https://cinepixo.com/people/boris-volchek) ## Cast - [Nikolay Okhlopkov](https://cinepixo.com/people/nikolay-okhlopkov) as Василий - [Boris Shchukin](https://cinepixo.com/people/boris-shchukin) as Vladimir Lenin - [Vladimir Pokrovsky](https://cinepixo.com/people/vladimir-pokrovsky) as Felix Dzerzhinsky - [Semyon Goldshtab](https://cinepixo.com/people/semyon-goldshtab) as Joseph Stalin - [Anatoli Papanov](https://cinepixo.com/people/anatoli-papanov) - [Vasili Vanin](https://cinepixo.com/people/vasili-vanin) as Матвеев ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
