A homophobic, anti-Ukrainian, Muscovian paternalistic slog. A brave Muscovian commissar teaches the devious, treacherous homo anarchist Ukrainians how to be good. They are animalistic, mob-like, they roar like animals when they die, they are granny killing rapists. The film offers an amazing intro, some beautiful scenes and Margarita Volodina is a compelling actress, but the film is stilted, needlessly slow and outright racist. The character development is inane. Ham-fisted unsubtle propaganda.
1918 year. A woman commissar has been appointed from the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party to the Russian warship Gromoboi, which is ruled by anarchist sailors. The leader of the ship is the anarchist Vozhak. The Commissioner was instructed to reorganize the naval detachment into the First Sailor Regiment. She faces a difficult task: to win the authority of the sailors and eradicate anarchy. Of the remaining officers on the ship — lieutenant Bering, who served in the tsarist fleet on the battleship "Emperor Paul I". He must become the commander and, together with the sent commissar, lead the regiment to the front in the Black Sea region.
