Cossacks of the Kuban
About Cossacks of the Kuban
On the Kuban steppe, two collective farms, Red Partisans and Precepts of Ilyich, race each other for the wheat harvest. Galina chairs one farm. Gordey, a former soldier who chairs the other, has loved her for a long time. Dasha Shelest, a worker, falls for Nikolai Kovylev, a young technician from the rival farm. The autumn fair brings a horse race and a cart race.
