People at the Marshes

Люди на болоте

Also known as Ludzie z bagien, Полесская хроника. Люди на болоте, Lyudi na bolote

In the 1920s, Soviet power came to the remote areas of the Polessky marshes. However, the wealthy landowners of the village of Kureny had no intention of giving their land to the peasants. Gangs intimidated the people. But the peasants themselves took the first step: the entire village set out to build a causeway across the marsh-road to a new life.
