Hans Kruus (1891-1976) was a left-wing academician who had high-rank positions in state institutions after the war: he was the People's Commissar of the foreign affairs in the Estonian SSR and later the head of Academy of Sciences of Estonian SSR. His career was interrupted when he became ostrasized by Stalinist repression as a bourgeois nationalist in 1950. The filmmakers have used archival materials about the events of early days of Soviet order in Estonian SSR.
