Dziga Vertov’s work emphasizes a collective identity rather than individual demographics. It successfully presents a radical cultural shift, replacing religious and capitalist structures with a secular, industrial reality. However, the film lacks diversity in terms of sexual orientation, race, and physical ability, focusing primarily on a homogeneous Slavic proletariat and the idealized, able-bodied worker. The film's strength lies in its socio-economic critique, but it falls short in representing a broad range of human identities.
