But here, the actors make an effort to keep their characterizations on the proletarian level called for in the script. One believes that Valentina Telegina (who looks, incidentally, like a peasant mother symbol) is an uncomplicated woman devoted to her family and not bothered by the "greater things" taking place around...

...everyone would be too cold, too hot, or too bug-bitten to worry about such matters. Nor is it entirely that cops would look just like bookies-tattoos could take care of that. The author is a disciple of the late Psychologist Alfred Adler, inventor of the universal inferiority complex.
