«Klavdiya Vavilova from Alexander Askoldov's film «Commissar» is burnt by love, motherhood and revolution. As a mother she bears life, as a martyr of belief - death to the enemies. Still life takes over. The winner is a human being ready to sacrifice though building the Earthly Kingdom. That is the ugly paradox of Russian history of the beginning of the XXth century. It is not incidental that Alexander Blok's apostles are headed by Christ. Vavilova is one of the apostles. But the ilm «Commissar» would not be a masterpiece if the director had ignored the main testament of the Christian Bible - the testament of love.
