A new city rises next to the Chornobyl power station – Pripiat. “Morning of the Atomohrad” depicts the daily routine of construction as a grand and clockwork process – the birth of a new world to the tune of symphonic music. The typical modern hero character, a “creative type” that sees his work as one of the most wonderful occupations, appears in this film for the first time in the image of the construction worker, Dima Bobrykyi. His working companions are the welders of the highest rank, two Korol couples. Happily posing in front of the camera, the couple confess that they receive “true pleasure” from their line of work. Despite the absence of a drop of sincerity or a crumb of social criticism, this film is interesting not only for its demonstration of the social realism canon of Soviet documentary film of the 1970s, but also for its scenes of the nuclear station in the progress of being built. The film’s soundtrack includes “The Lark” composed by Ariel Ramirez, which became widely known the same year due its becoming the theme song of the popular zoological television show “In the World of the Animals”. “The Lark” became a landmark musical theme for the Soviet era.
