Description: Subtitles: EnglishLanguages: Russian LENIN IN OCTOBER The events of the October Revolution of 1917, and the role of Lenin in organizing the rebellion of the Bolsheviks, is shown in this "historical" film, which Stalin demanded be rushed together in time for the 20th anniversary of their assumption of power. In Petrograd, there is unrest among the workers, who seem to have been left to their sad fate by the Provisional Government. Lenin secretly arrives at Petrograd rail station and is sneaked through a military cordon looking for him by a bodyguard - the worker Vasiliy. Soon, an underground meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party begins, where an uprising is prepared. LENIN IN 1918 Idealized historical/biographic film about Lenin and the struggles of the Bolsheviks in the first year of the Russian Civil War. Lenin is shown as hard-working, caring, supportive and the indispensable backbone of the workers' and peasants' liberation movement. His enemies - especially the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks - cruel, ruthless and opportunistic. The part of Sverdlov in history is overexaggerated; the role of Trotsky in guaranteeing the military victory of the Bolsheviks completely absent. Nor are the crimes against millions of people opposing Bolshevism ever brought up. The Chekists are vigilant, but historically whitewashed; Dzerzhinski is almost likeable as the stern, but fair, mass murderer that he was. At times, the film is unbearably sycophantic, but ultimately revealing on how the Soviets viewed their early history and achievements ... in public discussion, anyway.
