Created to animatedly document the April 1923 congress of the Russian Communist Party, the last under Vladimir Lenin's rule (who was already out of power by the time this film was evidently completed), RESULTS OF THE XII PARTY CONGRESS OF COOPERATION specifically deals with the plight of farmers and the challenges of cooperatives compared to the "terrors" of capitalism. While it aspires to the realm of agitprop documentary, the situations in the short are unsurprisingly exaggerated. Historically, the actual event is remembered more for the conflicts between Joseph Stalin and the Georgian National Communists than anything to do with farmers. Therein, a bit of revisionist history is on display for all to see.
