The authors focus a lot of attention on Nurkov. That's understandable. The other figures in the film (except Vyaznikova) are nothing more than personified opinions in a dispute. Nurkov — again, to a large extent, "through Ulyanov's fault" — is a personality. And the personality is ambiguous. We are constantly being asked from the screen, albeit indirectly, but quite clearly, to decide for ourselves: is Nurkov honest or not honest? The dilemma is strong. But is it quite natural in the situation of the film? I'm not sure. I would say this: Nurkov is honest insofar as he does his job honestly, not sparing himself and others, using cunning and subterfuge, as in battle. Of course, many people will think that I am wrong, and they will follow Sakulin and his associates to prove that such means to achieve the goal are unacceptable.

I agree. The purpose and the means, for reasons so sharply and boldly revealed by the cinematographers, came into sharp conflict with Nurkov. That's why it crashed. But would it have been better, as Sa-kulin suggests in a frank conversation with Nurkov, to simply categorically say "no"? Morally— yes: my hands would have remained clean and my conscience would have been calm. And the factory? It (as it happens more often than we would like nowadays) would have been built slowly, slowly for twenty years. I suppose this is also not an option, although the film accurately reveals the conflict between duty and moral sense, which economic leaders often have to enter into.

I want the reader to understand me correctly: Sakulin is absolutely right when he claims that, apart from objective reality, which does not depend on us, there is a person's personal position, his ideas about principles, about honor. And although Nurkov's position did not depend on him, it was in his will (at least to a large extent) to choose a different path.

However, at the same time, Sakulin also reveals his cardinal weakness, in my opinion: rejecting Nurkov's path, considering it immoral, he does not oppose it with a constructive alternative. He does not offer his own effective and righteous path in return. Thus, setting off, contrary to the desire of the authors of the film, Nurkov's realism, the invariance of his practical position...

I repeat, Nurkov — at least in the performance of Mikhail Ulyanov — seemed to me to be an attractive man, undeniably brave and intelligent, sincere and, indeed, seeing many moves ahead. Every time he appears on the screen, you follow his words, gestures, and gaze with unflagging attention. You believe in Ulyanovsk Nurkov. Personally, I recognize in him the features of his colleagues I know, who act in real life.

So in the picture you notice some kind of "scissors" between the intentions of the authors and the impressions that the viewer has. Alexander Gelman and Viktor Tregubovich, as already mentioned, contrary to the work of their own hands — the concepts and realities of the film — blacken Nurkov in order to turn him into the main negative character. But they're not very good at it. The logic of the circumstances created by the authors and the logic of the character cut down by Mikhail Ulyanov turn out to be stronger.

But maybe that's the way it's meant to be? Maybe the authors use this technique to make us think? If so, that's fine. The goal has been achieved, although I don't really like the means used for this. One thing is clear: the contradiction that Nurkov tragically faces is extremely topical. برومو كود 1xbet مصر
