In 1954, the famous Soviet operator Yuri Ekelchiku suggested - the first of the Soviet operators - to hold experienced wide survey. The choice was an unusually happy: wide screen as if created specifically for Ekelchika on his constant desire "to go beyond the frame", "declared neobyatnoe".

Sergei Urusevsky (1908 - 1974)
Sergei Urusevsky started as an painter and photographer studying under the great graphic artist Vladimir Favorsky at the Institute of Fine Art in Moscow. Bringing a pictorial tradition to cinema, Urusevsky started his career with Mark Donskoi on Selskaya uchitelnitsa (The Village Schoolteacher, 1947), Vsevolod Pudovkin on The Return of Vasili Bortnikov (1953), and Grigori Chukhari on Sorok pervyi (The Forty-First. 1956). Urusevsky also served during World War II as a cameraman on the front lines.
With The First Echelon he combined his marvelous visual sense with Kalatozov's breathtaking
technical skills — a partnership that made The Cranes are Flying, The Letter Never Sent and I am Cuba landmarks in the history of cinematography. Urusevsky and Yuri Ilyenko (cinematographer of Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors who also became a director) had profound
influence throughout the Soviet film industry — not since the 1920s had Soviet film style been acclaimed throughout the world. His poetic camerawork, no matter how daring, was always an organic search into the emotional possibilities of the script. In 1969 Urusevsky directed The Ambler's Race, adapted from the Kirghiz writer Chinghiz Aitmatov's short novel. Urusevsky followed this up with Sing Your Song, Poet (1971) based on the poems of Sergei Yesenin.
Urusevsky's other cinematography credits include The Land of the Blue Mountains, Alitet Leaves for the Hills, Cavalier of the Golden Star, and Lesson of Life.
