     A film about peace, love and war. Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the end of the Civil War in Russia. The film takes place at the end of the summer of 1917, when Russia and the whole world were at a crossroads between two eras. None of the people could even imagine how much his life would change in the very near future. In a strange way, the atmosphere of the film echoes our current reality and what is happening in Russia today. According to the form of visualization, the film belongs to experimental mockumentary cinema. To give greater authenticity to what is happening on the screen, the shooting was carried out on black-and-white negatives of 16 and 35 mm, hand-operated cameras were used and the material was developed in manual spiral tanks.
The documentary chronicle of the Kolchak army of 1919 and the White army in the Far East of 1922 is embedded in the finale of the film.

That broke the morning, and a shot rang out,
And the roar went crazy kannonad.
Over our detachment shell landed.
And began to roar, the moans and hell.

That young lieutenant with a detachment of infantry
He tries to defend the flag of the regiment.
One, he was half-company of all,
But no, he will not retreat back!

Meta shrapnel strechat guns
And the death of his victim have long been waiting for
A lieutenant with a brave infantry platoon
Soldiers are encouraged to press forward!

Hey boys, hostility, there is no room for mercy
Do not be afraid for the homeland we die!
And in Kiev silently praying bride
And tear drops: & quot; Save me, Mother of God! & Quot;

He ended the fight. Land blushed.
The enemy we drove to a distant river.
It was only on the morning his body was found,
But he clutched the banner in the frozen hand.

When will the truth before the bride opened
She was admitted to the infirmary sister.
And often in the mass grave he prayed.
Eternal memory and eternal rest!


130th anniversary of the birth of Marina Tsvetaeva

    Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (Russian: Марина Ивановна Цветаева; 8 October [O.S. 26 September] 1892 – 31 August 1941) was a Russian poet. Her work is considered among some of the greatest in twentieth century Russian literature. She lived through and wrote of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Moscow famine that followed it. In an attempt to save her daughter Irina from starvation, she placed her in a state orphanage in 1919, where she died of hunger. Tsvetaeva left Russia in 1922 and lived with her family in increasing poverty in Paris, Berlin and Prague before returning to Moscow in 1939. Her husband Sergei Efron and their daughter Ariadna (Alya) were arrested on espionage charges in 1941; her husband was executed. Tsvetaeva committed suicide in 1941. As a lyrical poet, her passion and daring linguistic experimentation mark her as a striking chronicler of her times and the depths of the human condition.
