apart form this looking like a 'hollywood' quality film about the revolution/civil war i had to ask this. is this how the red army honestly fought!? i can't understand how strategy and tactics like walking into machine gun fire with a marching band didnt get scrapped during the horrid years of WWI.


Also, i might actually might try to watch this film if anyone on here has seen it and can give me a little review from our perspective


Edit: Also, after some more looking into it, is this movie from the point of view of the White Army? Farewell of Slavianka was a tsarist march from what i know.

It's what happens when military technology oversteps current military tactics.

This movie is counter-revolutionary crap. At one point they do a parody of The Battleship Potemkin, where the Bolshevik sailors are all ugly, stupid oafs who don't know what to do after they take over the bridge, and end up getting outsmarted by Kolchak..

The protagonists in this scene are in fact the White Army indicated by (as you note) the song, the circular Czarist emblems on their headgear, and the presence of nuns in the ranks. And the reason they are charging the cowardly nun-killing Reds in this manner is because they've run out of ammunition.

Most annoying thing about the movie, the actor who plays Kolchak is a dead-ringer for Tukhachevsky, a much more interesting character and more worthy of a big budget biopic.
