The Big Ore

Victor Pronyakin (Eugene Urbansky), returned from the army to his fiancée (Svetlana Zhgun), but realizing she hadn't been faithful, he left abruptly and met another woman at a station buffet. After working for some time in Crimea, Victor decided to go work at the "big" Kursk ore mine, where work was in full swing — everyone awaited the first shipment of ore. Foreman (Vsevolod Sanaev) gave him a battered MAZ truck, but determined Victor restored the vehicle. Rain started, making it dangerous to haul loaded trucks from the quarry. However, Victor persisted, alienating the brigade against himself. Finally, he was transporting the first load of the "big ore," but the truck overturned on an incline. Victor died during the operation. His wife, Tamara, went to see him and saw the first train with the ore and people rejoicing, unaware that he was no longer alive. == Cast ==
