The first anniversary of Lenin’s death. Workers and peasants eat together and unite; free meals being given out. A delegation of peasants visits Moscow, sees Lenin’s body in the mausoleum, the Tsar’s palace, relics of Lenin in the Museum of the Revolution. A worker-peasant evening where the speakers reminisce about Lenin. Lenin’s message to the peasants - people of far-off lands know about him (various shots of colonialism in India and Africa); the world revolution is at hand.
