Your Contemporary (Russian: Твой современник) is a 1967 Soviet drama film directed by Yuli Raizman.
Vasily Gubanov, the son of the protagonist from the film The Communist, serves as the director of a massive industrial complex under construction in the Siberian city of Berezovka.
Declaring the initiative unviable would disrupt countless lives and effectively end Gubanov's career.
Nonetheless, as a committed communist, Gubanov feels he cannot continue to push forward with an obsolete project he once fervently supported.
The plot is based on real events surrounding the construction of the Angarsk Petrochemical Complex (referred to at the time as "Plant 16"), reflecting the ethical, personal, and professional challenges tied to large-scale industrial projects in Soviet history.
