Don't Forget... Lugovaya Station (ru|Не забудь… станция Луговая) is a 1966 Soviet romantic drama film directed by Nikita Kurikhin and Leonid Menaker.[1] [2] [3]
A passenger train carries ordinary travelers: a young man (played by Aleksandr Demyanenko) and a young woman (played by Valentina Lysenko) who pass the time playing the game "Cities." Sharing their compartment is retired officer Ryabov (played by Georgy Yumatov). During the game, the name of the station "Lugovaya" is mentioned, and soon the train arrives at that very station, where it makes a ten-minute stop. Many passengers hurry to the buffet.
At the buffet, the cashier recognizes Ryabov—they met at the same station during World War II. After a brief delay, Ryabov boards the train, seemingly leaving the past behind. However, as the train moves along the railway segment, he jumps off and returns to the station. With his return, memories of the war also come flooding back—military transport trains, refugee trains, bombings—and the events that once connected the main characters during those turbulent times.[4]
