A man sits on steps raising his arm; a ship's mast with a flag is shown; two children cheer with raised arms. No spoken dialogue or on-screen text is present in these frames.

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.
