P.K.P. (1926)

П. К. П.

The defeated remnants of vile Ukrainian nationalists, headed by the leader of the Ukrainian liberation movement, Symon Petliura, cannot accept their historical fate and are plotting an insurrection against the Soviet regime in Ukraine. There is nothing Petliura and his cohorts would not do to win back control over Ukraine, including selling it to the highest bidder, in this case, the Polish dictator Jozef Pilsudski. A group of plotters are coordinating an insurrection in Kyiv with an attack from Poland headed by Petliura’s general Yurko Tiutiunnyk. Predictably, the invincible Red Army defeats the nationalist plotters and proves that the Soviet borders are impregnable.

Production

Originally envisioned as a two-part film showcasing the work of the Cheka, the production faced challenges. Vsevolod Balitsky, the head of the Ukrainian Cheka, opposed revealing the organization's methods. As a result, the screenplay was heavily edited, and the film was released as a single part. Nevertheless, the movie was based on accurate historical data.
