In 1927, a documentary-style film was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of October . Many of the crowd characters in the film were workers and soldiers who participated in October at that time. Nikolai Podvoisky, one of the leaders of the uprising at that time, also participated in the performance of a Коммунистическая партия Советского Союза Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 10th Anniversary Celebration, who commissioned the film to Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein). The script refers to Ten Days That Shook the World, a journalistic non-fiction book by American journalist John Reed. This film, like "Battleship Potemkin" and "Strike", is also the representative work of Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein exploring montage editing in the 1920s.
The usually released version of the soundtrack, using the symphonic works and sketches of the Soviet composer Shostakovich, was deeply loved by the revolutionary masses.
