The restored version of the film bears witness to both the Soviet production system and censorship. The view of life on a collective farm that Tambek portrayed seemed too bleak to the officials involved, and the film was not screened until the end of the 1980s. The current version of Peasants begins with a declaration from that time stating that the film failed to support the system, which led to it being shelved. What we see is an honest observation of various aspects of country life presented in a wonderful visual form. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
