Communists

 In the movie Kommunist or Communist we start out hearing a story a boy's mother used to tell him every once and awhile. It follows a man named Gubanov. He with thousands of others traveled to Zagora so that one of the many power stations in Russia could be built. He finds room with a couple named Anyuta and Fedor, plus the other's they are boarding. everything is going smoothly until Gubanov says that he's a Communist, then the entire room is completely silent.

Anyuta is a very controversial character. At the end of the movie she falls in love with Gubanov, but that wasn't always the case. She was actually married, and when they first started to fall in love she denied him and said that she was married and this was a sin. Then when her husband finds out he kidnaps her and beats her up. I think she stopped loving her husband then, I know I would. She then confessed her undying love to Gubanov.

Fedor, Anyuta's husband, was actually a good guy. He left his wife to go get more food like lard and bread. He even had all the men clear out of his house so that none of them would hurt her. The only time he became a jerk was when he decided that he was going to kill his wife because she had gone with Gubanov to the power station. She had still been loyal up until that point but when he kidnapped her and drunkenly almost beat her to death, i was quick to leave his side of the argument.

Communism is the 1960's was focused on building up Russia. Meanwhile the US was sure that Russia was trying to destroy them. The US sent a U-2 spy plane over Russia, which the Russian shot down. The Russian's demanded an apology, which America refused to do. In 1961 Russia also got the first man in orbital flight.

When Gubanov dies in the end he doesn't die quietly, he dies hardcore style. He gets shot about 3 times and continues to walk towards the guy shooting him. By this point everyone is kinda shocked he hasn't cried out or died yet, they let him go after he yells at them. The man then shoots him another 5 times, while Gubanov just slowly walks towards him. Finally he gets shot in the heart and falls over backwards.
