Abstract:
This short propaganda film (or agitka) tells the tale of a Jew who survives a pogrom and becomes a leader in the Red Army. Intended to indoctrinate Soviet citizens by showing heroic examples of conversion to the Revolutionary cause, the agitka ('agitation pieces') were originally screened on Russian 'film trains.' A rare portrait of a Jewish character in early Russian cinema.
