I got to see the movie in Russian. I have not seen a more accurate movie. There are a few parts of it that go from the beginning of war to the very end. The movie was designed to show how great commanders, such as Zhukov, helped the Soviet Union to win that war. It shows the bad sides and good sides, it shows, that Stalin was not always right, it shows a great patriotism and love to Motherland that Soviet people had. I studied for my History exam at the University watching tyhat movie. Don't believe if you hear that the movie is bad. Very accurate, very well made. Of course, if you don't understand other countries and just used to believing stereotypes, this movie is not for you. But if you really want to see HOW IT WAS, then it is what you need.
