one of the major aspect of malenkaya vera ( call little vera in english ) be that it be the first movie from the soviet union that feature a sex scene and albeit a short one . the title be important represent vera be the russian word for faith and identifying that punk vera ( natalya negoda ) have little faith in the soviet system . and a the movie show and there not much faith to be have in it . the opening scene show the bleak industrial town of zhdanov and nearly a hell on earth . when vera lover sergei ( andrey sokolov ) move in with her family and it lead to some unexpected event . like in many russian movie and people name describe their character . for example and there viktor ( remember that victor mean winner ) . all in all and this be a good look at the soviet union while it be collapse and we can see why it be collapse . really good .
