The Bolshevik Trilogy - Three Films by Vsevolod Pudovkin (2 Blu-ray + Booklet)

The Bolshevik Trilogy (Mother / The End of St. Petersburg / Storm over Asia)

Mother (1926) The labor of workers in factories in tsarist Russia was an unbearable, hard labor burden. Life is also difficult for the family of factory worker Vlasov, who is trying to brighten up his hopeless life in the drunken stupor of a tavern. It is not easy for his submissive, prematurely aged wife Nilovna, who patiently endures her husband’s beatings. The Vlasovs' son Pavel is a revolutionary. He knows where and how to look for the road to workers' truth... The End of St. Petersburg (1927) Need brings a village boy to a factory, and participation in a riot brings him to prison. The harsh school of prison and trench life, communication with Bolshevik revolutionaries open the eyes of the former peasant - and he is in the first ranks of soldiers and workers to storm the Winter Palace. Descendant of Genghis Khan (1928) The film is dedicated to the story of the Mongol Bair, who raised his people to fight the colonialists. The film script was created based on the work of N. Novokshonov. 1920 British troops occupy Mongolia. An ancient letter falls into the hands of a poor hunter, indicating that its owner is a descendant of the great conqueror Genghis Khan. The British declare him a prince, hoping to use him as a puppet in a political game.
