      Ermler studied at the Leningrad Institute of Screen Arts. He directed his first film in 1927 and then earned critical notice for Parizhsky sapozhnik (1928; The Parisian Cobbler). Other major films include Oblomok imperii (1929; Fragment of an Empire), a classic of Soviet silent films that views the changes in Russia through the eyes of a man who had lost, then regained, his memory; Krestyanye (1935; Peasants), also a classic, a grand-scale film on collectivization that mirrors peasant folkways with warmth and sympathy; Veliky grazhdanin (Part 1, 1937, Part 2, 1939; The Great Citizen), dealing with interparty conflicts; and Veliky perelom (1946; The Great Turning Point), extolling Stalin's leadership of the Red Army. His final film, Pered sudom istorii (1965; Before the Judgment of History), examines a former White Russian's view of the fall of the Russian Empire and the events of the Revolution.
