Light over Russia (Russian: Свет над Россией, romanized: Svet nad Rossyey) is a 1947 Soviet history propaganda film directed by Sergei Yutkevich.
[1][2][3][4] The film illustrates the memories of a sailor who survived the Revolution and the Great Patriotic War.
The story is told through the recollections of Alexander Rybakov, a sailor who participated in the October Revolution, guarded Vladimir Lenin, and fought against the fascists during World War II.
The film also reflects the story of Herbert George Wells' visit to Moscow and his meeting with the "Kremlin dreamer" Vladimir Lenin, who invited the writer to come to Russia ten years later to witness the implementation of the GOELRO plan.
Wells, who wrote the essay Russia in the Dark, visited the USSR in 1934 and was amazed to find that the plan was not only completed but also exceeded expectations in several areas.
