Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This Soviet propaganda film chronicles the U.S.S.R.'s rapid expansion into easternmost Asia. Included are scenes depicting the movement of thousands of Soviet young people to the Amur River where they build a city and a defense base. The film also contains some intrigue after a man sabotages a Russian school, blows up a gas supply, shoots all the witnesses, and then impersonates the man he murdered.
