In the final installment of the Gorky Trilogy (The Childhood of Maxim Gorky; My Apprenticeship), Peshkov is in his later teen years and, too poor to make real his dream of studying in a university, takes a job as a baker working for a rather cruel boss, Semyonov.  But Peshkov (Gorky) is now old enough to be aware of his political surroundings and it doesn't take him long to see the road that leads from oppressed worker to the oppressor employer, a realization which, in Russia, eventually led to the revolution to right capitalist wrongs, but instead led to communist oppression, where all were equal, but some men were more equal than others. 

DVD-R is in Russian with switchable English and Spanish subtitles.  Apprx. 96 mins.  Digital quality.
