...And Other Officials (Russian: ...И другие официальные лица, romanized: ...I drugie ofitsialnye litsa) is a 1976 Soviet drama film directed by Semyon Aranovich.
[4] Konstantin Pavlovich Ivanov is the head of a Soviet foreign trade organization, tasked with negotiating a contract for the export of pumps with an international corporation.
However, before negotiations begin, the head of the corporation, Mr. Clark, requests Ivanov's removal from the talks due to a longstanding personal and professional conflict from their time working in Africa twenty years prior.
Clark initially offers an unfair price, suggesting that the deal should be accepted "out of goodwill" for the sake of diplomatic relations.
Ivanov, however, visits the manufacturing plant and discovers a unique advantage of the Soviet pumps—they can handle a wide range of substances, from water to heavy oil.
