The 15-minute movie showing corruption: Lenin's push for action in the Russian Revolution.

Historians from the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered a 15-minute film that exposes corruption within the close circle of Alexander Kerensky, the then Minister of Justice of the Provisional Government. The film was produced by the Bolsheviks following the February Revolution. The release of the film, referred to at the time as a 'cinemagraph', was repeatedly postponed. Initially, the Bolshevik leadership planned to release the investigation if Vladimir Lenin was arrested at the Finland Station, but that didn't happen.

Later on, the Bolsheviks couldn't agree on when to release the film. Kamenev suggested showing the film on May Day, while Trotsky believed it should be shown just before an armed uprising to fuel revolutionary sentiment among workers. Following the July Crisis, authorities confiscated the film during a raid on the Petrosoviet building, but for unclear reasons, it was not destroyed. It is speculated that the Provisional Government intended to use the film as evidence of financial support from Germany to the Bolsheviks.

After the October Revolution, the film was archived, mistakenly listed as drafts by Sergei Eisenstein. The film starts with Vladimir Lenin sitting on a bench in a park in Zurich, revealing the story of the largest bribe by Russia's main bourgeois - Alexander Kerensky.
