Show detail Hide detail

This film begins with a newspaper article from Pravda. It is a letter published by the people of the small town of Boutofka stating their love for Stalin and explaining how the Red Army had liberated their town from enemy occupation. Footage of the Red Army in battle against the Germans is juxtaposed with off-screen narration about how the German troops based in the village had murdered villagers and forced out many others. The Germans destroyed everything, leaving the village in ruins. The villagers were forced to live in small huts. The Red Army is shown helping the people of the village bury their dead, rebuild their town and receive gifts of cattle and seeds to grow crops. The Young Communists of Moscow also came to the village to help the people rebuild. A collective farm is shown. Families with children and men who fought at the front lines receive heifers. Now the village is returning to prosperity, already having produced a crop produced and harvested grain to give back to the Red Army in return for its help. <9mn 21s>
