The End of St. Petersburg

The End of St. Petersburg (Russian: Конец Санкт-Петербурга, romanized: Konets Sankt-Peterburga) is a 1927 silent drama film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin and produced by Mezhrabpom.

A political film, it depicts the injustice of the Tzar regime, the World War I and Bolsheviks's rise to power in 1917.

Political figures of the time are not shown; the emphasis is on the struggle of ordinary people for their rights and for peace against the power of capital and the autocracy.

The film forms part of Pudovkin's 'revolutionary trilogy', alongside Mother (1926) and Storm Over Asia (aka The Heir to Genghis Khan) (1928).

[citation needed] A peasant boy leaves his rural community and arrives in St. Petersburg to obtain employment.

The Russian soldiers are called back from the front to support the Provisional Government and "save the Revolution from communist traitors."
