Last night, before the game between North Korea and Brazil at the World Cup in South Africa, I watched the film "Admiral Fearless" starring Konstantin Khabinski and Andrei Krafcook. Ulchak.

If it hadn't been for me to re-read the history of the Soviet Union this time, I wouldn't know that Russia actually made such a film to "rehabilitate" General Kolchak, who had been constantly vilified and distorted. Re-reading the history of the Soviet Union this time is almost always in the process of analyzing and clearing up the distortions and cover-ups of history. There are too many places of deception and falsehood. History and reality need to clean up the mountains of lies before they can find a little truth.

Once General Kolchak and General Denikin were promoted by the Soviet government as the most ferocious and evil white bandit army, works such as "How Steel Was Tempered", which had a great influence on us, also served as a tool for artistic propaganda, strengthening the Given this impression, we don't understand the growth of these two characters, nor why they were against the Bolsheviks, nor how their lives ended, in short, in fact, apart from the name symbols, we actually have no idea about them, about the history of the Soviet Union, about that In the context of the times, we either know nothing or misunderstood, and then we have remembered the so-called historical conclusion for many years, but after all, this is not the final closing statement of history.

In October 2005, the body of General Denikin who died in the United States was won back to his native Russia. The Russian government held a grand public funeral ceremony and placed the body of the general in Moscow as a patriotic general.





The film begins with memories of a ball in the Soviet Union shooting a former Russian film, Kolchak's second wife, remembering their acquaintance. The first climax of the film comes from Kolchak's command of the warship, which lured the German warship into the minefield under the condition of the disparity of forces, and finally turned defeat into victory.





In my impression, this is the first time I have seen a naval battle film in the pre-Tsarist Russia era, and this performance is very exciting. Historically, Kolchak had a dream of serving the country in the military since he was a child. He graduated from the St. Petersburg Naval School with honors, and once went to the North Pole to explore and explore. The academic works he wrote were awarded by the Czar with the Gold Order of Constantine. During the First World War, he rose all the way with outstanding military exploits, and served as the commander of the Imperial Russian Black Sea Fleet with the rank of lieutenant general.






At the ball, Kolchak and the officers made a bet to kiss the first person who entered the door, and it turned out to be his wife, and love unfolded in this encounter.



The broken glass is the beginning and the end of the story, heralding the tragic ending of the characters' feelings.





Love is born between two people, who not only bear the responsibility of their own family ethics, but also live in an era of war and a turbulent country.



Kolchak once again dealt a blow to the Germans in the war.






The victorious general was unable to keep his love. Breaking up was painful for both of them, but that was the only way. In the film, Anna's love letters were inserted into the changing wheels of the times. Shaped in swirling.



A highness appeared in the film, promoted him to lieutenant general, and gave him an icon of Christ. This figure should be the last tsar Nicholas II. In the end, the tsar's family was killed by the Bolsheviks after his peaceful abdication. The youngest child Only 14 years old.




When Kolchak was the commander of the Empire's Black Sea Fleet, the empire was teetering in an internal mob revolution. After the





February Revolution, in order to avoid more study abroad, Kolchak was the first high-ranking naval officer to announce that he would obey the provisional government. .

The first shocking scene in the film is the mass slaughter of senior officers by soldiers who rebelled in the name of a false revolution.


The Petrograd Soviet ordered the disarming of all officers, and General Kolchak threw his beloved saber into the sea.

Provisional government leader Kerensky sent Kolchak abroad to




hang the officers.


Under the dangerous situation in the country, Kolchak and his family fled to Paris



. In the late autumn of 1918, Anna accidentally got news on the train that Kolchak had returned to China and assembled troops in Emtsk to resist the tyranny of the Bolsheviks. She decided to leave her husband to find Kolchak.













In the blizzard, we and Anna saw a stalwart figure. He took an oath in front of the icon of Christ, recognized the head of the new government, and fought for the revival and freedom of Russia. This filming is very touching. Anna also threw herself into the fight for Russian freedom by becoming a nurse.



The third thing that struck me in the film was when the White Army was running out of ammunition to reunite with the Red Army in a pre-World War I battle. The Bolshevik machine gun killed a rescued woman, which inspired everyone to be brave. Before winning the battle, they wanted to rescue the besieged General Kolchak.


Kolchak was eventually betrayed to the Bolsheviks, he was ordered to be secretly executed, his body was thrown into a frozen lake, and his second wife, Anna, was held in a concentration camp for over thirty years.

On the set of the film in the Soviet Union, Anna recalled the scene where she and Kolchak met at the ball in a trance through the fake ball scene.



The flow of history, the original clearing of the source, and finally the belated mourning gave this fearless general the honor he deserved. He is also a hero who fought for the freedom of the Russian nation and resisted tyranny.

    Such movies with known endings are always difficult to swallow, not to mention the lingering extramarital affairs of the heroes and heroines destroy the seriousness of historical events...! !
