Darkness at Noon follows a Lenin look-alike [1] from Lubyanka to Red Square; buys two old Soviet posters of Lenin and listens to what an elderly Russian selling them has to say about an imminent world war [2]; and observes a bunch of “the original Russian democrats [3]” during a speech given by Mikhail Khodorkovsky's lawyer.
