Plot synopsis
Second film by director Semyon Aranovich is dedicated to the people who worked in Stalin’s apparatus.
This time the heroes of the film were employees of the Politburo apparatus, the elite of Soviet society of those years. The film contains interviews with the former secretary and son of Georgy Malenkov, the son and widow of Andrei Zhdanov, who recall the first post-war decade - the time that included the death of Joseph Stalin, the arrest of Lavrenty Beria, the behind-the-scenes struggle for power, the 20th Congress of the CPSU and the subsequent Thaw.
