On screen
Долой самодержавие Down with tsarism!
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: propagandistic; themes: revolution, anti-monarchy; style notes: static title card with high-contrast white text on black background, typical of silent film intertitles

A title card displays the phrase 'Down with tsarism!' in English and Russian. No people, actions, or settings are visible in the frame.

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.
