GULAG sites. He was released and rehabilitated in the era of de-Stalinization. He came back to VGIK in 1954 under the direction of Sergei Yutkevich and graduated in 1958.[1][4] His first film was Ataman Codr codirected with Boris Rytsarev in 1958.[1] His best known film is Man Follows Sun (1961), about a young boy who in one day experiences numerous facets of live, in his pursuit to see the sun.[1][5]
