Overview

The first banned film of Armenian cinema. The further screening of the film was forbidden in Soviet Armenia because of the scenes in a brothel. The People's Commissariat of Education banned the screening of the film in Armenia, citing the fact that the events depicted in the film are characteristic of the period of Dashnaktsutyun's rule and that in 1927-1928 the screening of such a film cannot play an educational role.
