This article analyzes three sequences from the film "Odnajdy notchiu" to investigate director Boris Barnet's adherence to the dictates of "cinema for millions"—a set of rules of form and content that began to guide Soviet film production from the second half of the 1930s onward, aligning films with the demands of Socialist Realism.
