Maksimka or Maximka (Russian: Максимка) is a 1953 Soviet children's adventure film directed by Vladimir Braun and starring Tolya Bovykin, Boris Andreyev and Vyacheslav Tikhonov.

Two days later, the sailors of Bogatyr rescue a young Black boy from the wreckage of an American ship destroyed in a storm.

Luchkin’s love for the boy helps him overcome a deep sense of bitterness from an earlier injury caused by a cruel landowner.

He actively helps the crew of Bogatyr rescue Luchkin from captivity aboard an American ship, where labor recruiters had forcibly taken him.

Due to his resourcefulness and courage in rescuing Luchkin, the captain of Bogatyr orders that Maksimka be officially enrolled in the corvette’s crew and is given the surname Bogatyryov.
