Vladislav Fedchenko

Three Novels from the Life of the Factory.

A film-play based on the works of Arkady Gaidar, depicting the heroic struggle of cadets from the Ninth Command Courses of the Red Army against the Petliurists.

An angelic-looking but selfish and ruthless young man wanders from crime to crime without the slightest remorse. In the Russian film "Satan," the devil is a delicately handsome young man whose murderous opportunism is too easy to understand. While the film registers shock at its protagonist's absolute amorality, it also presents him as part of a bitterly divided and pessimistic culture. The world of "Satan" is one in which nothing really works, and therefore anything goes.
