Pavlo Dolyna

An agitation film based on historical events. An episode of the uprising of pro-Bolshevik workers at the Kyiv Arsenal factory against the forces of the Central Rada.

A political satire on one of the enemies of the Soviet regime, the leader of the English Labour Party, James Ramsay Macdonald. The plot unfolds at a fast pace, using grotesque satirical techniques to prove that the royal power in England is a fiction.

About the peasant uprising in the Poltava region in 1905.

Lazar, an old worker, does not want to share the secret of hardening rapid, a high-quality steel. The workers have no choice but to find their own original way to harden steel that is as good as rapid...

The film is about the struggle against political and cultural backwardness in the remote corners of Ukraine in the mid-1920s. Hysyar, a witch doctor, is the most popular person in the small village of Haniivka.  Gysyar fills his wallet at the expense of gullible and backward villagers, but his "healing" only cripples them with impunity. This brings him into irreconcilable conflict with Marina, a paramedic who has come to the village from the city. To get rid of his unwanted competitor, Hysyar, with the help of the nurse's sister, steals the keys to the cooperative from Marina's fiancé, and plants the stolen goods in Marina's apartment. In despair, Marina commits suicide. An investigative commission that arrives from the city uncovers Hysyar's criminal activities. The witch doctor is put on trial.
