Plot
editAfter graduating from Moscow institutes, Andrey and Nikolay head to work in the Altai region, taking positions at a local factory. Nikolay becomes an engineer, while Andrey works as a correspondent and editor for the factory's newspaper. Tasked with writing an article about the entire workforce, Andrey uncovers deeper issues within the organization.
Nikolay, proactive in his role, begins to notice irregularities in the factory's operations. The celebrated worker, Yasha Milovidov, who is touted as a model employee, turns out to be an ordinary laborer benefiting from manipulated conditions that allow him to exceed his quotas. This fabricated image of success was created by the previous editor of the factory newspaper, Chumov. Further complicating Milovidov’s reputation is his abandonment of a pregnant coworker, Antonina. Together, Andrey and Nikolay expose the false hero, bringing the truth to light.[3]
