Time, Ago!

The film showcases two orchestral suites by composer George Sviridov, first published in 1968 and 1977. These suites are based on the music for Mikhail Schweitzer's film "Time, Forward!", which was released in 1966 and is rooted in the novel by Valentin Kataev. The thematic focus is on the construction of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine, a significant aspect of Soviet industrial history.

The first suite features the well-known piece "Time, forward!", which gained popularity and was utilized in various films, television programs, and documentaries about Russia's first five-year plans and post-war reconstruction. Additionally, Sergei Oskolkov composed a complementary suite titled "Time, back!", which reflects on the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.

Collectors can find this film available on VHS and DVD formats, providing options for those who appreciate physical media and the unique musical compositions presented within.
