    The tape recounts the initial conquests of the Bolshevik government in Belarusian territory. It offers a unique glimpse into the events of 1919-1920 in Belarusian history, showcasing the fight for the nation’s independence through the lens of Soviet propagandists. Prominent figures such as General Bulak-Balakhovich, Sapega, and members of the BDR government, including Vaclav Lastovsky, are featured. This was the sole instance in Soviet cinema where the Belarusian Democratic Republic was acknowledged.
