Plot synopsis
Summer of 1917. On the advice of his party comrades, V.I. Lenin moves from Petrograd to a place where he is unlikely to be looked for. In the coming weeks, the hut in Razliv will become a modest refuge for the leader of the world proletariat and his comrade-in-arms Grigory Zinoviev.
Here Ilyich will write his famous "Blue Notebook", having become convinced of the need for an armed uprising. At the end of the summer he will leave for Finland to prepare for the revolution, but now Vladimir Ilyich faces a difficult stage of cardinal decisions that will change the fate of Russia.
