During the formative years of Soviet power, the first commune was organized in a remote Siberian village. The task of the counter-revolutionaries becomes its destruction…

The story of Ermak Timofeevich, whose campaign for the Ural mountains served to annex the Siberian lands to the Moscow kingdom, in the second half of the 16th century.

A saga about the life of the Siberian Savelyev family during the period 1902 through the 1960s as they survive through three wars, a revolution, and Soviet government approval.

The story of a small village Zeleny Dol, lost in the taiga wilderness, became a reflection of the fate of a huge country. A wide panorama of people's life unfolds before the viewer: from the defeat of Kolchak's White gangs to the first tractor furrow on the collective farm meadow, from the first elections to the Supreme Soviet to the send-off of Zelenodol residents to the fronts of the WW2, from the labor feat of women's hands in the rear to Victory Day, to the first post-war bread.

The second half of the 16th century, the time of Ivan the Terrible's reign. The story of Yermak Timofeyevich, whose campaign beyond the Urals served to annex the Siberian lands to the Moscow kingdom.
