1943. To arrange military training school commandos freed from prison, Colonel Vishnevetsky. Students for the school recruited from prisons and colonies, 14-15-year-old juveniles offenders, which no one will never find. After a harsh training they are sent to destroy the alpine mountain-fascist base. Lost in the mountains, being on the verge of life and death, you still can make a choice: to remain “scum” or become a hero.
A “Hitlerjugend” kind of story, set in the Soviet Union during the Second World War, based on a fictitious story from the eponymous book by Vladimir Kunin. The Red Army has a gang of juveniles for a clandestine operation against the Nazis. The boys are trained by a dangerous crime lord at a top secret boot camp. They are doomed to die in the mission, or after it, just to keep it a secret. Written by Steve Shelokhonov
Based on a true story of teen criminals in the Soviet Union during World War 2. As alternative to prison they are trained in the mountains of Armenia for a mission in Nazi Germany to blow up an important installation. All but one boy dies. Most die during the rigorous training & some die in Germany. It is still unsure what is exactly true or not according to what faction one speaks with, but surely the fact that at the awards ceremony it was a heated moment amongst believers and non believers that the event ever took place. Written by William Scharf
The year is 1943. Colonel Vishnevskiy (Andrei Panin) receives an order from the government to train a group of saboteur soldiers who should stop the actions of a German army group called “Edelweiss”. The mission is a top-secret one. Vishnevskiy trains young (14-to-15-year-old) boys from juveniles. They all know that after the mission is finished they all will be eliminated since they all know too much to be left alive. Written by Pavel P.

I was surprised by the quality of this film. Sure, the ending was hyped, but just look at American films. (Boys on bicycles flying past the moon?) Why can’t foreign films use a little hype now and then. Nobody seems to claim this is a true story, and it isn’t. It is a boys’ fantasy. Perhaps a bit too much blood and gore to get a PG rating, but part from a few swear words (Mother who?) well I’ve seen worse. Quite a few kids are killed and suffer violence, Not much worse than “Goblet of Fire” really, but I think, if anything, they pulled their punches in the training scenes. Real kids commando training is very much rougher than they showed. I’d be happy for teens over the age of fifteen to watch it. The film deals with the subjects of attitudes to boys, boy bashing, and the use of child soldiers. It also has a lot of moral issues that can be discussed. On the whole, I’d like to see a film with English dubbing. it would be worth it. Well done, guys. The kids acted well, too
