About the film: year - 1991 / 1 hour 33 min drama / Plot of the film "Chekist": Employees of Cheka Andrej Srubov, Jan Pepel and Isaac Katz read long lists of enemies of the Soviet regime. These are those who served or helped the whites; those who cursed the Bolsheviks in the kitchen; those whose fault lies only in inappropriate social status. The verdict is always lightning fast, the same and unconditional: execution. In an effort to accommodate "revolutionary legality," judges turn reading lists into routines. Their judgment is so ill-considered that they may inadvertently condemn themselves to death. Unlike his undereducated comrades, Andrej Srubov is trying to build a philosophy that could justify bloodshed for public welfare..
