Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: crowd gathering, urban space; style notes: static wide shot, high contrast lighting, architectural framing

A crowd is visible under a stone archway, with a multi-story building in the background. No dialogue or named individuals are present in this beat.

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.
