I ran across this clip from what appears to be an early Russian film, I love the battle scenes, great inspiration for painting suitable figures. Check it out and see what you think; YouTube link |

Very nice – you can't beat the spectacle of thousands of extras in the big battle scenes. Forget CGI and lead actors hogging the camera, this is great stuff. |

Never even heard of this Soviet film. Thanks! |

Fascinating. Apparently no morale checks needed by either side. |

Fine stuff until the last few seconds. Disgusting. |

Great stuff! I have figs for this war. Certainly some painting inspiration. I'm surprised about how well they did with the uniforms and weapons. Thanks, John |

Nice I notice in a lot of patriotic films the hero can only be defeated if he is bayoneted in the back. |

The extract seems to be drawn from a 1955 Soviet/Bulgarian joint venture 'The Heroes of Shipka'. Skeletal information is available in the following links. imdb.com/title/tt0047021 link link |
