Overview
The idea for the film has its origin in the novel of the same name by Alexander Radischchev, published in 1790 - a literary voice against the oppression of people, which was denigrated as a danger. Tsarin Catherine II first pronounced a death sentence and later sent Radischev into Siberian exile. In the Soviet Union, his criticism of the conditions in Tsarism was considered decisive for the socialist idea.
