Baltic deputy

This film depicts incidents in the life of the distinguished Russian scientist and former Oxford professor and scientist Klement Timiriazev (renamed in the film) who, despite ostracism by colleagues, joined the Bolsheviks in 1918 and became a hero of the revolution. ‘Baltic Deputy’ ably balances propaganda, action, humour and pathos, presenting a period of revolution and social upheaval through the eyes of one man.
