How to beat the Russians? The answer is in the selection.
Spies in the NKVD, fighters at the front, military ghosts and gang wars – all this is easily found not only in Soviet films and arthouse films of the 1990s, but also in domestic action films of the past six years.
The makers of these 10 Russian films did their best to capture the viewers’ attention from the first seconds to the end credits:
“Private Cheerin”, based on the story of Yakut writer Timofey Smetanin, received high marks for its fascinating, albeit simple plot, excellent acting and the absence of stupid clichés. The image reveals the unpredictability of war, where the superiority of the armed forces can be ensured by only one talented soldier, even if he is an ordinary Yakut fighter.
Yuri Bykov’s thriller “Plant” also found a place at the top. The film tells the story of how workers, fed up with injustice, kidnap their immediate boss to demand a ransom, realizing that this decision could cost them their lives. The film received conflicting ratings and reviews, with most viewers agreeing that everyone should make up their own minds about it.
For lovers of the exotic, the thriller ‘Tourist’ is suitable, about a clash between Russian instructors and African bandits who want to stage a coup. Despite the ban on participation in battles, the Russian army does not stand aside, which sows fear among its opponents. Then it dawns on the bandits: “The Russians know how to fight, and unfortunately they do it well. They cannot be defeated by force alone.”
