Enemies (Russian: Vragi) is a 1953 Soviet drama film directed by Tamara Rodionova and starring Vasili Sofronov, Elena Granovskaya and Nikolai Korn. It is based on the 1906 play of the same name by Maxim Gorky.

A made-for-TV remake was released in 1974.

Plot

The film is set on the eve of the 1905 Revolution. Tensions rise at the Bardin factory, where workers demand the dismissal of a cruel foreman. The factory director, Bardin's partner Skrobotov, dismisses the workers' demands. In retaliation, the factory owners shut down operations and call in soldiers to suppress dissent. When Skrobotov threatens the workers with a revolver, he is killed, escalating the conflict.
