Счет человеческий

A Human Account (Счёт человеческий, 1978) is a Soviet drama by director Alexander Svetlov, available to watch online on iFILM. Zoo inspector Chaplygin (Leonid Kuravlyov) tears down the only navigational marker on a remote Arctic coast. No marker, no flight path, no aircraft panic — and the walruses stop dying. Clear logic. The pilot doesn't see it that way.

Unable to settle the argument in the field, the two men take their dispute all the way to State Arbitration in Moscow. Mikhail Gluzsky and Gennady Korolkov round out the cast. This is an unusual Soviet film: an ecological standoff that plays out as a legal drama where both sides have a case. Stream it online on iFILM.
