The Adventures of Oktyabrina (Russian: Похождения Октябрины, romanized: Pokhozhdeniya Oktyabriny) is a 1924 Soviet/Russian silent film, an eccentric comedy, directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg.[1][2] This film is presumed lost,[3] as it and many other early Russian films are believed to have been destroyed in a studio fire in 1925.

Synopsis

Oktyabrina, a female Komsomol member and a building superintendent [3][2] evicts to the building roof a "Nepman" for persistent non-payment of the rent. There Nepman unkorks a bottle of beer, from which a "Coolidge Curzon Poincare" emerges. The name is concocted to be an epitome of evil, made from the names of the anti-Soviet politicians of the time, routinely bashed in the Soviet press. Together they plot to rob Gosbank, but are deterred by Oktyabrina with the help of fellow Komsomol members and engineering marvels of the time.[3][2]
