The shot pieces of the invading soldiers were joined by the protesters who tried to get down the stairs so that the audience felt the urgent impression of the protesters.
Coupled with a jukstaposisi like a mother holding her injured son confronted with soldiers holding bayonets, the audience gets the impression that the Tsaris soldiers are cruel, in accordance with the function of the film as a means of Soviet propaganda at the time.
