The beginning of the domestic feature film is the story of the transformation of a naive fairground splint into a salon mystical melodrama. Having gone under the shadow of glass pavilions-greenhouses, early Russian cinema is trying to hide from the impending historical catastrophe. The revolutionary storms that have broken out drive some of the film visionaries first to the Crimea, and then to emigration. For those who remained, the struggle for survival in the new conditions begins with the development of the genre of agitfilm.
