## Synopsis

The Communist is a 1957 Soviet historical romance film directed by Yuli Raizman. The Communist is one of the classic films of Soviet cinema. Praised for its realism and noted for its tinges of propaganda, the story is a vivid portrayal of a young man dedicated to communist ideals who struggles to complete a power plant despite supply shortages, a burgeoning revolution, and war profiteers. The film was innovative for its time; director Yuli Raizman managed to create an unflinching, complex image of the everyday struggles and triumphs of early communism.
