The first of what became a popular genre of wartime 'film-concerts', consisting of eight musical numbers, strung together by a loose plot. It shows soldiers leaving their village for the front; in their absence, the desolate but resolute young women of the village assume responsibility for the business of the farm

A strange film as beautifully jumbled as the political environment out of which it sprang, like a handsome weed, "Son of Mongolia" is a travelogue of unique and authentic richness, an amusing Far Eastern horse opera of picaresque character, and a scientifically valuable anthropological document in which the Soviet film industry may well take pride. Objective and modern, yet permeated with a fresh folk quality that goes back to the reckless and lovely Tartary of Genghis Khan, it rises above all its inescapable Soviet-isms into a new frontier region of plains, mountains, tents and herds, a world still appreciably beyond the range of Western cameras.

Reconstrucción de los acontecimientos ocurridos desde Febrero hasta Octubre de 1917. Una película en la que, siguiendo la filosofía comunista, no había personajes principales. La habilidad de Eisenstein y su experiencia se ve en los rápidos movimientos y en el ritmo en el montaje, así como en la construcción de intensas secuencias que no fueron bien entendidas por las tempranas generaciones rusas. El estreno se retrasó hasta 1928 debido a la presión de algunos grupos influyentes y, además, se cortaron algunas escenas. Aparecen en el filme muchos de los protagonistas de la revolución: los Guardias Rojos, los soldados y los marineros.
