About Winter of 1942
Based on Vyacheslav Kondratiev’s story “Likhobory”. In the autumn of 1939 Viktor Somov is called up for military service in the Far East and at the end of 1941 his battalion is sent to defend Moscow. The military echelon arrives in the capital. Victor manages to put a phone call to his native village of Likhobory near Moscow. He arranges to meet his mother and his girlfriend. But it is impossible because of the curfew, so the commander of the echelon takes the risk and permits Somov to go home. This meeting with the people dear to him fills Viktor with the certainty that in Spring he will come home in triumph.
Directed by Yana Drouz, Winter of 1942 leans on a strong ensemble — Igor Shternberg, Natalya Vilkina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1989.

It is late spring of 1942, and the Great Patriotic War is in full swing. A long way off from the front-line, at some God-forgotten junction, the Germans make an air landing operation in an attempt to get through to the Kirov railway and the White Sea - the Baltic Sea Canal. These aren't just ordinary paratroopers. This is a team of seasoned and highly trained infiltrators, the elite of the Waffen-SS, superhumans. The only thing in their way is an anti-aircraft artillery unit of corporal Vaskov and five young women in training. It may seem like a fight of local significance, but the countrys main strategic transportation artery is at stake. Can the corporal and his 'petite newbies' prevent Nazi sabotage and at what cost? Television version: An extended version made out of four 45 minute episodes was released on Channel One Russia, on 9 May 2016. Available on PrimeVideo.
