Victory Day is approaching, and every day we will talk about a movie that we think is worth watching to learn more about the war, and the Russian/Soviet perspective on it.
“In August of 1944”, 2001
Summer 1944. While Belarus has already been liberated from Nazi occupation, the war is far from over. With about a year remaining until Victory, a dangerous threat emerges behind Soviet lines – a group of enemy agents is transmitting vital intelligence about Red Army movements via radio.
To eliminate this spy network, SMERSH (the Soviet military counterintelligence agency) dispatches a special task force led by Captain Alyoshin. Their mission: track down and neutralize the infiltrators operating among both civilians and military personnel in the recently liberated territories.
