YouTube link Russian with English sub titles. I found this one to be a really solid war film.
A bit over-dramatic at times, but it's hard to tell a story of Brest without doing that, I suppose. If you're going to watch it, probably do it soon, since channels hosting this stuff tends to evaporate quickly. I've never seen this in a store, but I'm sure you can import it. |

Problem with it, to me, is that it is such a Russian propaganda flick. after all, Brest Litovsk was a Polish fortress until 1939, when the Sovs stabbed Poland in the back, yet it is portrayed as the heroic Russian defence of a Russian fortress. |

Problem with it, to me, is that it is such a Russian propaganda flick. Yes. Notice how the nice NKVD troops are shocked, shocked, by civilian casualties! |

Yeah, its pretty heavy on the jingoism, though it doesn't whitewash Stalin at all, so win some lose some. |
