Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and dramatic; themes: rescue, collective action, revolutionary urgency; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, static framing, use of title cards for exposition

A person is being lowered into water by ropes while another figure is seen in the water nearby; a separate shot shows a wooded area with figures in the background. A title card reads 'Save Vakulinchuk!' in Russian and English.

“-Спасай Вакулинчука” 29:56 · “Save Vakulinchuk!” 29:56 automatic transcript, may be wrong

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.
