About Mission in Kabul
On the formation of young Soviet diplomacy and the struggle of the mission in Kabul with the internal reaction and representatives of the Western powers for the signing of the Cooperation Agreement. A Russian diplomatic mission was sent to Kabul. The friendly relations between Afghanistan and the young Soviet republic became a real threat to traditional British rule in the East.
Directed by Leonid Kvinikhidze, Mission in Kabul leans on a strong ensemble — Oleg Zhakov, Irina Miroshnichenko, Gleb Strizhenov — 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 drama titles of 1971.
