Official celebrations, manifestations and fireworks during a Soviet
era May 1st celebration: exhausted demonstrators, scenes of reasonless joy,
moments of unmotivated anxiety, valueless commemorations. Sokurov updates
Eisenstein's postulates about representation of the masses, in which the part
acts for the whole, the individuals substitute the anonymous and symbols are
highlighted in the details of the crowd. But by now, the masses are out of the
picture, the great leaders are dead and the social movements have lost their
force.
