Synopsis

Interplanetary Revolution (Russian: Межпланетная революция) is one of the first Soviet animated films, shot in 1924. A production of the experimental animation workshop set up by the authors.

Frightened by the advance of the proletariat across planet Earth, the bourgeoisie of all countries fly into space in a spaceship resembling a shoe in the hope of saving themselves and the plundered capital, but they are eventually swallowed by the sun. The "red warrior kommissar Kominternov" (красный воин комиссар Коминтернов) follows them, but he lands on a futuristic Mars, where he fosters a victorious proletarian revolution.
