Uprising Square

Maxim Fedorov, a researcher at the Moscow Museum on Krasnaya Presnya, is obsessed with the idea of describing the fate of the "Violinist", whose name often flashed in archival documents of the pre-revolutionary period. Collecting the facts, the hero restores the true name and life story of the musician, who became one of the first professional revolutionaries.

Directed by Boris Tokarev, Uprising Square leans on a strong ensemble — Vladimir Simonov, Lyudmila Gladunko, Sergey Shakurov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
