Privalov's Millions

Privalov's Millions (Russian: Приваловские миллионы, romanized: Privalovskiye milliony) is a 1972 two-part historical film based on the novel by Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak.

In Uzlov, Privalov’s childhood friend, Sergey Veryovkin, starts legal proceedings against two of these corrupt trustees, Polovodov and Lyakhovsky.

At the same time, Privalov falls in love with Nadezhda Bakhareva, daughter of the honest trustee Bakharev, but she rejects him, being devoted to her exiled engineer husband, Maxim Loskutov.

When this romance ends, Privalov’s attention turns to Lyakhovsky's daughter, Zosia, who uses her charm to influence him into halting the lawsuit against her father.

Ultimately, the factory and his family home are bought by Oskar Filippovich, an opportunistic outsider who takes advantage of the chaos and manipulations of all parties involved.
