The New Teacher (Russian: Учитель, romanizedUchitel) is a 1939 Soviet comedy drama film directed by Sergey Gerasimov.[1][2][3][4]

Plot

[edit]

A young specialist, Stepan Ivanovich Lautin (played by Boris Chirkov), returns to his hometown after completing his studies in Moscow with plans to build a new school in the village. This news excites everyone except Lautin's father (played by Pavel Volkov), the chairman of the local kolkhoz. The elder Lautin believes his son failed to achieve success in the capital and returned home in disgrace.

The storyline explores a generational conflict alongside the film’s romantic subplot. Stepan’s arrival stirs emotions in his young neighbor, Agrafena Shumilina (played by Tamara Makarova). Seeing that Stepan frequently sends letters, Agrafena assumes he has a romantic interest in the city. Aspiring to match his level, she decides to leave the village to pursue an education.[5]
