Millions of Soviet people knew the story of the
“SHKID Republic” from the book written by Shkid
graduates G.Belykh and A.Panteleev in 1920s and
also from the movie of the same name shot in1960s.
For many years the life of screwed-up kids in the
school named after Dostoevski “Shkid” remained
merely a fabled story for readers and viewers. This
investigative film is about further fate of Schkid
pupils - Grishka Belykh, Lenka Panteleev, Tsygan,
Kupa Kupych, Mamochka, and about the ordeal that
the famous teacher Vikniksor (Viktor Nikolaevich
Soroka-Rosinski) underwent.
