I love Soviet films of the 60s. I'll watch this movie now.

I think it's quite a niche one. I had never managed to stumble across it before until today. Quite hard to find too, but yeah Mosfilm has it on their YouTube channel which is nice. I found it incredibly beautiful.

I read on Wikipedia that in the 1960s, officials limited its viewing and this film was watched by only 3 million people, in contrast to the same director’s film “Spring on Zarechnaya Street” (30 million views). I don’t remember this film even in the 1980-1990s. I enjoyed watching the episodes of everyday life of that time and the scene at the picnic. In the evening I’ll buy red wine and watch the whole movie.

I hope you enjoy it!

This doesn't surprise me at all. The fact that there's western music in it alone feels like it's begging for censorship in that era. Then there's the actual events within the film, to which I won't mention more of. :^)
