Russian Embassy has hosted yet another Russian Movie Night event
🎬 Participants of the event were introduced to the iconic Soviet war drama ‘Only ‘Old Men’ Are Going Into Battle.’
🗣 Ambassador of Russia to South Africa H.E. Mr. Ilya Rogachev opened the event with a brief review of history of the Battle and the movie’s artistic features.
‘Essentially, the film is based on true events of the Great Patriotic War, which took place in different aviation units of the Soviet Air Force. The director used the method of artistic synthesis, bringing those events together in one movie,’ Ilya Rogachev said.
The Battle of the Dnieper screened in the movie took place in August – December of 1943. This major campaign of WW2 consisted of several strategic operations and involved over 4 million participants from both sides, As a result of the 4-months battle, almost entire left-bank Ukraine was recovered from Nazi invaders.
