Three Days of Viktor Chernyshov (ru|Три дня Виктора Чернышёва|Tri dnya Viktora Chernyshova) is a 1968 Soviet drama film directed by Mark Osepyan.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The film follows the monotonous life of Viktor Chernyshev, a young Soviet man who, after finishing school, chooses not to pursue higher education and instead becomes a lathe operator at a factory. His days are repetitive and uneventful, divided between work and attending uninspiring Komsomol meetings where trivial tasks are assigned, such as participating in agricultural labor or filling out crowds for events. Evenings offer little excitement, as Viktor loiters with a group of acquaintances, listening to their stories and partaking in meaningless pastimes. Among them is Kolya, an idler who brags about his conquests, and Pyotr, a hardworking doctor who stands apart as the only voice of reason, urging Viktor and others to reconsider their aimless existence.[5]
