The Vyborg Side (Russian: Выборгская сторона, romanized: Vyborgskaya storona) is a 1939 Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, the final part of trilogy about the life of a young factory worker, Maxim.
It is named because of its situation at the start of the road to Vyborg, a formerly important city taken from Swedish empire by Russian army under Peter I in early 18 century during the Great Northern War and securing the existence of Russia's new capital Saint Petersburg.
Faced with sabotaging underlings who destroy and hide vital documents, Maksim dedicates himself to learning the complexities of banking and restoring order.
Meanwhile, SR conspirator Ropshin and the anarchist Dymba incite a raid on wine warehouses, drawing in Evdokia, a soldier's widow desperate for survival.
Later, with Evdokia’s assistance, Maksim uncovers a conspiracy by a group of tsarist officers planning to assassinate Lenin on the day of the Constituent Assembly's opening.
