Ukraine fought for both sides in a heap of wars, and this is its national tragedy. Geographically, it was among all the evils of the continent, and the whole history of it was shared by all who are not lazy. But the film, which got into the difficult topic of self-identification of this people, did not cope with the task of understanding everything, and showed that just here the chops fought for the Germans. It's not quite true, it's complicated there, Ukraine was occupied, there were defectors, and it had a history since the revolutions and the First World War. They didn’t want to be part of the Russian Empire or any other, they wanted to be a country in their own right. The film shows it as if it is a treacherous territory that must realize its mistakes. However, I cannot call this film custom, Kremlin and propaganda. It doesn’t look pitiful and squalid like a gobels movie, it’s without a doubt a real film, high-quality enough, and the work done to create it is beyond doubt. It seems that the authors removed the whole topic in this way, because they themselves saw it and believed in it. An author who has done a good job has a right to his opinion. For the form and plot of the film, I have no complaints. But Ukraine should be left alone for a long time, they never wanted to come to us, and they should not have kept it. We'd be safer now.
