What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1921: an older pace and style.

The epic story of the Russian Civil War (1918-21): the White Terror, the counterrevolutionary uprisings, the guerrilla war, the Kolchak front, the Wrangel front and the Kronstadt rebellion. Chaos and violence, devastation and death.
