全片完全由导演所要宣传的政治思想和导演的情绪控制。第一首歌表现有了列宁之后各族人民的幸福生活，第二首歌表达了对列宁之死的哀恸，第三首歌则描绘了在列宁思想的引导下全国人民的社会主义建设。

Description: A Sixth Part of the World is Vertov's "state of the USSR report", an extraordinary compilation of images from throughout the Soviet Union that chronicles the spread of the Bolshevik Revolution as well as the technological changes affecting the lives of Soviet citizens. Constructed like a piece of music (a contrapuntal structure, recurring themes, crescendos and diminuendos, prestos and lentos, etc.), A Sixth Part of the World is a film of undiminished power and formal artistry.

This documentary promoting the joys of life in a Soviet village centers around the activities of the Young Pioneers. These children are constantly busy, pasting propaganda posters on walls, distributing hand bills, exhorting all to "buy from the cooperative" as opposed to the Public Sector, promoting temperance, and helping poor widows. Experimental portions of the film, projected in reverse, feature the un-slaughtering of a bull and the un-baking of bread.

A cameraman wanders around with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling inventiveness.
