An amazing story of a Leonid. Berenshtein depicts bravery and heroism exercised by a special regiment under his command during WWII.

His Jewish background assured silence about his activities in a post-war Soviet era.

Storytelling by a major character in a fragile aged state, visualised by an actors' play is a brilliant approach of which materialisation would even more impress if script, uniforms deployed, performing could a bit more be detailed.

Screening this movie of a Soviet Army tonight, in a middle of RF operation in Ukraine, bears some special meaning as one could feel.

I was not too keen going Europe even in pre-covid times. Not to recently, for sure.

Some familiar places are much contributed with author's special information from juxtapositions unexpected, fresh and simply not well stamped by tourists' hordes casually.

Informative, educative.

After "Shocking Asia", it's not so easy to amuse a viewer with something of this region but Paul Merton did!

It's nice to travel virtually, see an absolutely strange place to an extent of a such acquaintance that no need to spend a good deal of money to go there to in person :) !
