}}His Excellency ({{lang-ru|Его превосходительство|Yego prevoskhoditelstvo}}) is a 1928 Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Roshal.[1] It was released in the United States under the name, "Seeds of Freedom." [2]

The film is based on real events. On May 5, 1902, shoemaker-laborer Hirsh Lekert, a member of the Jewish party Bund, attempted to murder the governor of Vilnius, Victor von Wahl.

Plot

On the eve of May 1 leaflets turn up in the city with the appeal to support the May Day demonstration of Vilnius workers. Cossacks disperse the May Day workers' march killing some and arresting others. Among the dead and arrested are Jewish laborers. Fearing riots, the Jewish bourgeois elite send their representatives to the governor with the request that he punish only the prisoners, and not the rest of the Jewish population. The governor agrees; he orders those who were arrested to be flogged. Hirsh Lekert, a cobbler, is outraged and proposes killing the governor. He shoots the governor but only wounds him. Lekert is arrested and sentenced to death.

Behind the Scenes

The film is notable in that star Leonidov played two important roles, Governor Victor von Wahl and the "Old Rabbi." He is both sides of the split face on the poster.

  • Tamara Adelheim as Rivele
  • Nikolay Cherkasov as the tall clown
