About Meet Baluyev
In 1960-ies, Baluev, the head of the construction site of the main gas pipeline, decides to lay the track straight through the swamp, not giving a damn about the approved project. In addition to his basic boss duties, Baluyev actively engages in educational work among his subordinates.
Directed by Viktor Komissarzhevskiy, Meet Baluyev leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Pereverzev, Nina Urgant, Stanislav Sokolov — 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 1963.
