该电影由尼古拉斯·厄克执导，尼古拉·巴塔洛夫、Yvan Kyrlya、Mikhail Dzhagofarov、米哈伊尔·扎罗夫等主演，于1931年上映。在108分钟的叙事中，《通往生活的旅行证》（又名：生路、Putyovka v zhizn、Road to Life）Coming as it does from the depths of the Stalinist regime, the Russian Road to Life is a remarkably optimistic film. A host of nonprofessional children are cast as Moscow street kids, left homeless by the Bolshevik revolution. They get into all sorts of melodramatic scrapes until they’re rounded up by kindly, altruistic Soviet functionaries. The children are reformed (in the nicest possible way) and made useful members of society. Road to Life is simplistic in its solutions to society’s problems, albeit no more so than the usual Hollywood product from the same period.
