Justified, since cramming the several different arcs from the book into the film's second part (the air raids in Moscow, the relationships between the pioneers Sima leads, Sima rescuing Igor and finding the guerrillas in Korevanovo) would have been really hard.

''The Great Opposition'' (Russian: Великое противостояние) is a ComingOfAgeStory novel by Lev Kassil. The first part was published in 1940 and the second one in 1947.
Sima Krupitsyna, thirteen years old, is offered a lead part in a historical film, that of Ustya, a guerrilla girl fighting in UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars. She enjoys the filming immensely, her heroine really grows on her, and she finds a great friend and supporter in the director, Alexander Rasschepey, while the film becomes a beloved hit right after the premiere. However, as it gradually leaves the theaters, Sims finds it hard to adjust to normal life again, especially after Rasschepey says she doesn’t have what it takes for a real career in cinema.
Just as Sima manages to overcome her initial crisis and find a new calling in caring for younger children and in astronomy, UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo strikes the country, and Sima finds herself in guerrilla warfare again, for real this time.
!! The novel provides examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: Among the major characters, [[spoiler:Rasschepey]] dies of heart failure in part one. Then in part two, [[spoiler:his widow Irina]] gets killed in an air raid, and [[spoiler:Amed]] is killed in action.
* AuthorExistenceFailure: Downplayed InUniverse. [[spoiler:Rasschepey dies when his last film is in post-production]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: InUniverse. In ''The Angry Muzhik'', Sima’s character Ustya plays a simple country girl who comes face to face with a robber (a thinly-veiled allusion to Napoleon). Later, she ends up facing the ''actual'' Napoleon. And then, the entire film foreshadows Sima’s own involvement in another great war.
* FormerChildStar: Sima very nearly plays it straight when she is deeply depressed and can’t do anything right in her life after finishing the film. Fortunately, she realizes it soon enough and finds new goals in life.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Sima, aged thirteen to sixteen throughout the novel, is a good friend of Alexander Rasschepey and his wife Irina (in their forties).
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Sima initially thinks Rasschepey is a criminal or a foreign spy stalking her.
* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Everybody assumes Amed and Sima are an item, which they both furiously deny. There is some ShipTease indicating there may be something more than friendship between them, [[spoiler:but as he gets killed in action when she is sixteen, nothing ever comes out of it]].
* ShowWithinAShow: A good deal of the first part is about the filming of ''The Angry Muzhik''. The film itself also has a show within it, a pastoral musical staged by Korevanov, Ustya’s landlord.
* SoOkayItsAverage: InUniverse, Sima feels her life is like this in the beginning, especially at school. Her grades are not brilliant enough to get praises and not bad enough to be a problem. As she puts it, she is “very ordinary”.
* TheUnfavorite: Sima for everyone in the family except her father. She was born after an unplanned pregnancy, when her sister Lyudmila was nineteen and her brother Georgy fifteen, and she has been treated as some embarrassing addition since. However, it does get better by the end of the novel.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The epilogue takes place four years after the second part’s events. It is the 30th of April, 1945, and the war is practically over. Sima is now studying astronomy at the university and gives lectures at hospitals. [[spoiler:Many of her friends, as well as the pioneers in her charge, have survived]].
