The Human from Nowhere (Russian: Человек ниоткуда|Chelovek niotkuda ) is a 1961 science fiction-comedy film directed by Eldar Ryazanov.[1] [2]
The geologist of the anthropological expedition, Vladimir Porazhaev, is among the savages of the fantastic Tapi tribe and escapes with the help of his intellectual abilities.[3]
At the XXII Congress of the CPSU on October 24, 1961, Mikhail Suslov condemned Ryazanov's film. After Suslov’s performance, the film was stopped everywhere and then banned. The ban was lifted only in 1988 by a decision of the Goskino of the USSR and the conflict committee of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR, after which the film was again shown in cinemas.[4]
