		Aleksandr Askol'dov's Commissar is based on Vasilii Grossman's "In the Town of Berdichev" (1934), a story of a female commissar who gives up her baby to a Jewish family during the Polish-Soviet War in order to return to the front.

		The clash of ideologies between the two groups is transcended by the birth of the child and comrade Vavilova's subsequent transformation into a mother.
