Plot synopsis
On August 18, 1975, the film Agony by director Elem Klimov was accepted by the USSR State Committee for Cinematography. The film was assigned the first (highest) distribution category. In August of the same year, the film was banned and put on the "shelf" for exactly 10 years. The ban came after a series of panicked statements from all the most powerful authorities of the superpower: a secret circular from the Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yuri Andropov (referring to intelligence data available only to his department), meetings of the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
