Chairwoman Malinina (1976)

The film is a portrait of a milkmaid who became chairwoman of a collective farm. Malinina was regularly featured in film magazines, and a lot was written about her. And it is not surprising — she is a great person by Soviet standards: a laureate of the State Prize, twice Hero of Socialist Labor, "innovator of collective farm production." Traditionally, such people were filmed exclusively in production and in the stands, with a cheerful announcer commenting on their outstanding achievements. Obukhovich showed it quite differently. And not "at the machine", but in a completely different environment.
