Russian WW2 movies

[Triple A]

Dear comrades,
I am looking for russian movies about WW2 soviet era or later, anyone can point me some?

[Omsk]

They fought for the motherland: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073488/
Come and see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091251/ (Oh,and yes,this is probably one of the best films ever made,but i advise you its a very hard and sad/depressing movie,some scenes are hearth breaking,its not for everyone,but everyone should watch it)

The "Brest Fortress" is also a very good movie,you should see it,even though its not exactly what you are looking for.
Just stay clear of "Enemy at the Gates" kind of movies and its ok.

[Comrade J]

^I second 'Come and See', essential viewing for anyone watching WW2 or Soviet Union cinema.

At the heart of a film the original facts.

The Hot Snow (1972)

A heroic drama, based upon the title novel by Yuri Bondarev (novels "Quiet", "The Shore", "The Choice", novella "Battalions Ask for Fire").
The film recounts the story of one battle of the Great Patriotic War, the battle on the Volga. The authors focus their attention on the fate of Soviet soldiers and officers in just one battery, who, at the price of heroic efforts and their own lives, did not let the enemy tanks through.

Beautifull films.(much better than hollywood junk) I wish I could thank your post a thousand times.

[Born in the USSR]

Eugene,Little Eugene and Katyusha.

Touching story about love of a young romantic man (Zhenia), who is a soldier of Guard Mortar Division (Division of "Katusha" Reactive Mortars) and a girl-telegraphist (Little Zhenia) at the last months of WW II. Watching the movie you see the war by eyes of indeed a Moscow boy who being a soldier is out of war in his dreams. He does not let the war into his soul making feats of arms and not understanding this. The last winter of the greatest war is over, a new spring with new dreams comes on, and it seems that all troubles left behind and only best days of love and happiness wait for Zhenia and Little Zhenia, but even the last days of the war can be tragic.

Derzu Ursala 1975



"Dersu Uzala" is a great movie but it's not about WW2 :)

Some of the movies that were not mentioned:

"Only "old men" are coming intoo battle"
"Peace to him who enters"
"Alive and dead"

And try to stay away from latest Mikhalkov's shit :D

[Rusty Shackleford]

"I was nineteen" from DEFA studios (DDR, 1968) a great movie about a german kid who grew up in Moscow and returns to his homeland at the age of 19 with the Red Army. English subtitled version is for free on Netflix

"Come and see" is a MUST SEE. if you cant handle psychologically intense stuff then dont watch it, but if otherwise. WATCH IT. Probably one of the best films out there.

another one is "they fought for the motherland" about a Red Army unit during the opening days of the war facing defeat after defeat.

theres a guy on youtube that has uploaded hundreds if not thousands of old soviet videos but Mosfilm is starting to block stuff due to copyright. fucking mosfilm.

"A zori zdes tihie", 1972
("And dawns here are silent"), 1972

About a film And dawns here the silent..., 1972:
Front-line soldier Stanislav Rostotsky picturized Boris Vasileva's story «And dawns here the silent...» With light grief about the generation - carried away by war, «not долюбившем», not lived the term measured to it. About not come true, irrecoverable, lost.... In the beginning of June, 1942 six зенитчиц and their commander, foreman Vaskov (Andrey Martynov), having gone to investigation, unexpectedly find out, that in this, apparently, still district far from front the German landing has landed. It is necessary to inform on it in a staff. But the small group is cut off from the. And to find a way out it is possible only by own life. These little girls dreamt of the big love, tenderness, family heat - but on their share severe war has dropped out, and they have up to the end executed the soldier's duty...

As earlier mentioned, Come And See is a classic. There's a lot of stuff that stands out with that movie, but the camera work is probably the best I've ever seen. It's almost like they had someone to choreograph the camera operator throughout the film.

As earlier mentioned, Come And See is a classic.

If the question in OP would be as "What is the best film about WW2 ever made in the USSR?" I would agree with you undoubtedly.
