Description: 

Based in part on a short story by Turgenev, in part on a true story of one Pavel Morozov, Soviet boy-hero, Bezhin Meadow was to be an exuberant tale of the clash between peasant farmers of the Czarist era and the youthful supporters of the emerging collectivist movement. Its production halted by official opprobrium and Eisenstein’s illness, the rushes destroyed during World War II, the film exists today only in this photomontage outline reconstructed by Naum Kleiman.
