The House on Trubnaya

Boris Barnet, Mezhrabpom, 1928. Parasha (Vera Maretskaya), a country girl, comes to Moscow, is hired as a maid in a building on Trubnaya, and walks into a courtyard full of loafers, a union, and a husband who thinks a servant is furniture. Barnet, from Kuleshov's group, plays it as comedy until the meeting vote. Gosfilmofond keeps the standard print. Maretskaya's run through the streets is the film deciding she is the hero, not the address.
