Or do you want me to watch it? Watching the movie is only possible on the channel of Mosfilm.

Soviet movies
I might watch Kutusov sometime. I did find a Youtube channel with English subtitles. I wonder why they're all wearing their cocked hats pushed back. Seems odd. Maybe because it was a war, they had a problem with hat sizes.
I agree with reading history rather than watching movies and TV shows, because they always change things around, and you get an unrealistic version of what happened. Reading, you are able to think and re-examine whatever you've studied, where film is all immediacy and emotion. I've been reading David Irving's Churchill's War, and he's a fascinating historian, and although the books are 700 pages long, they're never boring. He's also a good lecturer. I met him several years ago and bought a copy of Hitler's War. |

Here is a Georgian short movie. (I post it here not for its great merits, but because it does not need subtitles.) A flute (1976) 03:55 - This is a board of honor. The most successful workers of a plant or factory were on it. Such boards were in almost every plant in the USSR. 13:02 - On his jacket the inscription was imprinted: "Beware there is glass here!"

July rain (Июльский дождь) - 1966.
Watching the movie is only possible on the channel of Mosfilm. [Russian-speaking commentators were divided into two groups. One group thinks the movie is meaningless, while the other group thinks the movie is great and perfectly captures the 1960s atmosphere.]

A Nest of Gentry (Дворянское гнездо) - 1969.
The movie is based on the novel by Ivan Turgenev - [A Nest of Gentlefolk (Coulson), A House of Gentlefolk (Garnett), Home of the Gentry (Freeborn)] Watching the movie is only possible on the channel of Mosfilm. The old musician is German by nationality.

What movie is this?
I know this is not a Soviet-made film, it's more recent, with CGI and all. It is titled "Pilot," but I could not find any further information about it. A stand-alone short video, perhaps. A flight of Ilyushin Il-2s attack a German armored column, then the Soviet planes get into a dogfight with Messerschmitt Bf. 109s. A good war action scene, I think.
