Revolutsioon, mida polnud

The Revolution That Wasn't
Aljona Polunina
2008 Estonia 96 minutes Russian

The Russian opposition, fragmented by different extreme ideas, was faced with a dilemma before the 2008 presidential elections: whether to remain in history, or to get lost in it. This film is a story told from inside the Russian oppositon. This is also the story of a Russian revolutionary, who shot into the political fight, grabbed the leadership role while the real party leader was in prison, and had his moment of glory; later to lose his comrades’ trust and be degraded down to a mere party member. He withdraws to a monastery.
