Aelita, the Queen of Mars [Spoiler (click to open)].1923 Silent Film with captions
*The story primarily tells of an engineer Mstislav Sergeyevich Los (Russian: Лось)
traveling to Mars in a rocket ship, where he leads a popular interplanetary uprising
Upon arriving on Mars, they discover that the planet is inhabited by an advanced civilization. However, the gap between the ruling class and the workers is very strong and reminiscent of early capitalism, with workers living in underground corridors near their machines.
Mars is now ruled by Engineers but all is not well. While speaking before an assembly, their leader, Toscoob, says that the city must be destroyed to ease the fall of Mars. Aelita, Toscoob's beautiful daughter and the princess of Mars, later reveals to Los' that the planet is dying, that the polar ice caps are not melting as they once did and the planet is facing an environmental catastrophe.
While the adventurous Gusev takes the lead of a popular uprising against the ruler, the more intellectual Los' becomes enamored with Aelita. When the rebellion is crushed, Gusev and Los' are forced to flee Mars and eventually make it back to Earth.
In 1935-1938 the author considerably reworked it into a novel suitable for children and young adults, published in 1938 by Detizdat, "School Library" series.
