Plot Summary:With art direction by noted Soviet political caricaturist Boris Yefimov, PROPHETS AND LESSONS is a stylish variation on the usual Soviet propaganda themes of noble workers standing up to greedy capitalists. The film's song-like structure alternates between Western prophecies of the USSR's ruin and energetic live footage to the contrary. The Russian proletarian is shown to thrive in industry, battle and space exploration.
Described in animator.ru as “a political cinema poster for adults about the failure of capitalism to halt the success of the USSR.” Based on drawings of Boris Yefimov who is interviewed in Part 4 of this series.
