Annotation:
"A Sixth Part of the World" is a propaganda film commissioned by the foreign trade enterprise Gostorg and popularizing the export potential of the Soviet Union. Filming of Gostorg films was conducted throughout the Union: fur hunting in the Far North, flax harvesting in the north and central regions, sheep breeding for karakul in the Caucasus, grain growing in the black earth and southern granaries, and loading of goods in the largest ports. The film also shows the revolutionary struggle of the working class.
