„All of Russia is a village", Russian poet Ivan Bunin said at a time as late as the the beginning of the century.

Even 20 years later, four of five inhabitants of the young Soviet Union lived in the country, usually äs destitute peasants.

Anyone who objected to this was deported. ln this film, Stalin's war against the peasants can be documented in detail for the first time.
