 What If One Man Could Have Stood Up to Lenin?
Vasily is based on Olga Carlisle's maternal grandfather, Victor Chernov, of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, which for a brief moment represented a credible rival to Lenin's Bolsheviks.
Vasily and his wife, Anna, who was born an aristocrat, are seen through the eyes of their daughter, Marina.
When Vasily stops a political assassination, we see the act of a decent, idealistic, possibly even a just man. It is not, however, the act of a man who will prevail over Lenin, who forgave few -- and, when he did, exacted a price that had little to do with justice.

Few names bear as much resonance for the Russian ear as Vasily Ivanovich Chapayev, the Red Army hero made into a subject of national folklore by an endless stream of jokes and by a largely fictitious 1934 Soviet film that portrays him as a morally complex, obscurantist leader.
As Chapayev tells Voyd, "The way the world is arranged, you always end up answering questions in the middle of a burning house".
For Voyd, that fantasy is his adventures with Chapayev, for another an interview with a sectarian Japanese businessman, for another a drug-influenced evening with a pair of criminals.

Chapayev, written while Soviet literature was yet in its infancy, has become a heroic epic of the socialist revolution.
Dmitry Furmanov, the commissar of the Chapayev Division, wrote his novel drawing largely on his diaries, personal observations, reminiscences of his contemporaries, and historical archives.
But the documentary truth of Chapayev did not restrict the ideological and artistic merits of the novel: Furmanov created a work of immense capacity, far-reaching generalizations, a book about the revolutionary people - creator of their own history and their own heroes.

The museum staff has been confused by the events of the past decade or so: It prefers to keep its opinions to itself and let the visitors make their own sense of the photos on the walls showing Chapayev and his fellow Bolsheviks.

This film, based on the memoirs of commissar Dmitri Furmanov and obviously commissioned by the Soviet state, is devoted to the heroic exploits of Red Army general Vasily Chapayev during the Civil War in post-revolutionary Russia.
Boris Babochkin's portrayal of the title character deftly blends old-guard heroism with Communist-dictated pragmatism; Chapayev may have a mind of his own, but he's willing to defer to the new-regime wisdom of his local commissar.
A big hit in its native country, Chapayev won several state prizes, and furthered the already lofty reputations of director/siblings Georgi Vasilyev and Sergei Vasilyev.
