Konstantin Khabenskiy and Elizaveta Boyarskaya in Admiral (2008)
Admiral Koltchak was the most formidable commanding officer the world had ever seen. Choosing to fight for a country mired in war and revolution, Koltchak took on a mighty enemy and defeated them with invention, cunning and tactical genius. As conflict spreads across the world and the Great War rages furiously through Europe, Koltchak becomes embroiled in a deadly affair with the wife of an enemy agent. Betrayal and deception are around every corner as the might of the Allied forces closes in and it appears that no one can be trusted. Faced with a terrible choice, Koltchak is forced to confront his destiny for the salvation of his country across battlefields on battle-ravaged land and raging sea.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The title uses old Russian orthography, abandoned after the October Socialist Revolution of 1917.
    • Goofs
      During the opening sequence at the Baltic Sea (November 1916, according to the captions), Admiral Kolchak identifies the pursuing German armored cruiser as the SMS Friedrich Carl and enters his own minefield in order to escape. Later, when the Germans are about to blast the immobile and damaged Russian vessel, they strike a mine and their ship blows apart and sinks within seconds with a clear big loss of lives. Actually, although the SMS Friedrich Carl was in fact sunk by Russian mines, this happened two years before than the movie shows (November 1914). Besides, she stayed afloat for several hours, enough for the light cruiser SMS Augsburg to arrive to the scene and rescue most of the crew, and only 8 crew members were lost. (In reference to a deliberate mistake, it is very unlikely that an experienced seaman and high rank officer such as Kolchak had mistaken a ship for one that the entire Russian navy knew had sunk two years before.)

    A tragic love story
    The film focuses on the love story between Admiral Kolchak and Anna Timiryova, in the context of the tragic events of the Russian revolution and civil war. And rightly so, the main feature is the love story, while history is left to the background.

    It also does not focus on the life of Anna Timiryova after Kolchak's death - she has been arrested six times and spent long years in the Gulag. But she always remembered the two tragic years when she had been able to be with her lover.

    The lyrics of the theme song are one of Anna Timiryova's poems. Unfortunately a film cannot focus on poetry, but it should be remembered that the Timiryova's poems have been compared the the poetry of Boris Pasternak.

    And Boyarskaya really shows that she understood the tragism of Timiryova's fate.
