While all the country's agriculture was conducted by collective and state farms, and this way seemed to be the only correct one, the director M. Litvyakov turned to the topic of individual farming, the "privateer". The film caused a storm of indignation from collective and state farm leaders, from the side of the party nomenclature. The question of the release of the picture on the screen was positively solved only in the Central Committee of the CPSU.

До свидания, мама
Mikhail Litvyakov
“This film discloses the responsibility adults bear towards children whom they abandon. This is a problem of society’s responsibility to its future. The war ended long ago, but the children’s homes were overflowing in the 1960s. When I found out about this, I was simply dumbfounded. I did not want to read the viewers a lecture, but hoped to affect them on an emotional level. This is one of my most beloved pictures. This is a motto of kindness, mercy, a message from man to the individual, this is the problem of a person’s responsibility to the future” (director Mikhail Litvyakov).
