10.0The screen adaptation of the novel by Tadjik writer Sadriddine Aini, telling the story of a tramp who falls in love with a rich girl, was supposed to become the first full-length feature film in Central Asian film history. But the unfinished Dokhunda was banned by the Soviet authorities when film production was already in full swing. No footage survived. This is why Izvolov had to rely on Lev Kuleshov’s draft to study and appreciate the maestro’s vision and the unique aesthetic concept, which was never to be realised during Kuleshov’s lifetime.

Dokhunda () is a 1934 Soviet drama film directed by Lev Kuleshov.
== Plot == The film tells about the powerless laborer Edgor, who is popularly called "Dokhunda", who starts a new life in Tajikistan. The film is based on the novel with the same title by Tajik national poet Sadriddin Ayni, but the project was regarded with suspicion by the authorities as possibly exciting Tajik nationalism, and stopped. No footage survives. In 1956, director Boris (Besion) Kimyagarov (1920–1979) was finally able to get approval for a movie version of Dokhunda.
