Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent; themes: call to action, solidarity, revolution; style notes: static close-up followed by intertitles; high-contrast black-and-white; stark typography

A sailor in uniform is shown in close-up, followed by two title cards with Russian text and English translations. The cards read 'Shipmates!' and 'It's time.'

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
