Well... I was really sure, that Russian cinema is dead. But this $30.000.000 Mikhalkov's movie proves that I was mistaken. This is not a true story, sometimes it seems that the picture was taken only to please a viewer's eye, but the character story and fight is beautiful. Plus all Russian exotics - caviar, vodka, blini, bears, drunk Russian army officers etc. This is a movie you must see.
