4/4 The First Teacher (Andrei Konchalovsky, 1965)

Presented by Yelena Kalinsky

Diuishen, a recently demobilized Red Army soldier, is determined to spread the international proletarian revolution to the most backwards corners of Soviet Central Asia. Altynai, an orphan girl whose aunt would prefer she stay home and work, joins the village children for lessons and in time falls in love with Diuishen. When Altynai is given away against her will to a rich landowner who rapes her and the school is burned, Diuishen must decide whether he will leave the village or remain and continue the revolutionary struggle.
