Scope and Content

Various shots of protest march(es). Protesters carry signs that indicate they are members of the Red Front and the Spartacus League, which was a socialist organization formed in 1914 and included leaders such as Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. The marchers play instruments and carry signs and banners. The intertitles are in Russian, as are some of the signs carried by the marchers. One large sign spells out "Rot Front". Some scenes show spectators watching the marchers. A man conducts the crowd as they sing, perhaps the Internationale (silent). Crowd and close up shots of people singing.

Note(s)
