    • Trivia
      Stalin - as played by Mikheil Gelovani - increasingly disappeared from the film after his death in 1953. Between 1956 and 1961, a scene in Smolny was cut. When the film was restored in 1965, Stalin was completely cut out of it: the scene of eating potatoes of Lenin, Stalin, Dymov and Shadrin was shortened, in the final scene of the film Stalin was also retouched - with the result of Lenin delivering the speech standing on a podium alone. All references to Stalin in the film texts were also removed.
