The fifth of 12 films about life in the Soviet Union.
October Harvest
Mariya Kulinich is 78. She has lived in the same peasant village through revolution, civil war, famine and Stalin's collectivisation programme. Through it all she has kept her Christian faith and her loyalty to the old customs of the Russian countryside.
Her three sons also live on the October collective farm. At harvest time they are at their busiest, for the state - and for themselves. Some private enterprise is now allowed, and this 'Leninism with loopholes' helps pay for their long-awaited new car. Photography REX MAIDMENT Sound MICHAEL TURNER
