The name of Savely Kramarov was legendary during his lifetime. When he emigrated from Russia to the USA, it turned out that his name... no longer officially existed. Soviet apparatchiks attempted to make millions of Kramarov's fans forget their idol and worse, they filled newspapers with stories full of lies and insinuations.

He starred in several new films and promised to visit more frequently. Then, unexpectedly, he passed away.
