The film received a permit dated March 25, 1953 for the all-Union hire except Moscow, Leningrad and the capitals of the republics of the Soviet Union, but then the Ministry of culture of the USSR imposed a complete ban on the production of the film "because of the extremely low ideological and artistic level." According to film critics Evgeny Margolit and Vyacheslav Shmyrov: "the film made by all the canons of the conflict-free theory and good fight with the best principle has lost all relevance in the new political environment".[2]
