Mutiny

Directed by Semyon Timoshenko

With Pyotr Podvalniy, Aleksey Alekseyev, Tatyana Guretskaya, Ivan Razveyev and Valeri Solovtsov

Central Asia during the Civil War. The Jarkent battalion of the Red Army, located in the Verny (now Alma-Ata), receives an order from Frunze to go to the Fergana region to fight the Basmachi. A group of kulaks, with the support of local merchants and beys, incites the unconscious, wavering mass of the Red Army to revolt. The anti-Soviet agitation of counter-revolutionaries, demagogically exploiting the mood of war weariness, provokes an open mutiny in the battalion.
