The Adventures of Oktyabrina
Introduction '''''The Adventures of Oktyabrina''''' () is a 1924 Soviet/Russian silent film, an eccentric comedy, directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg. This film is presumed lost, as it and many other early Russian films are believed to have been destroyed in a studio fire in 1925.FEKS (ФЭКС) stands for «Фабрика эксцентрического актёра», "Factory of the Eccentric Actor", and ''The Adventures of Oktyabrina'' was their first work.
Synopsis Oktyabrina, a female Komsomol member and a building superintendent evict a "Nepman" to the roof of the building for persistent non-payment of the rent. There the Nepman opens a bottle of beer, from which a "Coolidge Kerzonovich Poincaré" 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 the Nepman and the genie plot to rob Gosbank, but are deterred by Oktyabrina with the help of fellow Komsomol members and engineering marvels of the time.
