Okraina (Outskirts ) is a 1998 Russian film starring Yuri Dubrovin, Nikolai Olyalin, Aleksei Pushkin, and Aleksei Vanin. It was directed and wroted by Pyotr Lutsik. The music was created by Gavriil Popov and Georgi Sviridov.

Synopsis

The film starts as parody of a Soviet-era socialist realist filmmaking of the 1930's (The title is taken from the classic 1933 film by the Soviet filmmaker Boris Barnet, in which the beginning of the farm collectivization era is depicted.)

Peaceful life of farmers of remote Uralian village is interrupted when their former collective farm is sold. The toughest ones unite and track down the offenders one by one. Their quest for truth and justice is very violent, although almost all the violence occurs off screen, and often we are unsure of the victims fate. The movie was shoot in Black and white and the music is old Soviet movie music, so it is hard to determine when the events are happening – around the WWII or maybe even today. Hence it could be interpreted as attack on modern capitalism in Russia.
