Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and charged; themes: collective action, revolution, public spectacle; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, dynamic composition with wide shots of crowds and close-ups of individuals, dramatic use of scale and perspective

A large crowd on steps and a ship's deck is shown, with sailors on the ship and one man on a mast. The crowd appears to be gathered in a public space, possibly a port or square, with some holding umbrellas.

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.
