This episode of the 1957 Soviet movie "Tihii Don" (Quiet Flows the Don) is related to a Russian cavalry charge - executed by a regiment of Don Cossacks - against the Austro-Hungarians in late May of 1915 near Rava Russkaia (Rava Rus 'ka).

Thanks, much appreciated.  I recognised a couple of my favourite films in the last video, but I haven't seen 'Death of the Empire' or 'Quiet Flows the Don'.  You wouldn't know where I could get a copy of these would you?

Alas, what can I do - is to look for these films in the Russian Internet. But they will be available only in Russian ...

Thank you for these especially the battalion clip which has inspired me to get some of your women's battalion minis in the coming months.

Cheers and keep up the great work.

I got to see the whole film, with English subtitles. Very well done, though several examples of artistic licence throughout. Worth watching if you get the chance.

Russian feature film with English subtitles

The Battalion

The Battalion is a 2015 Russian war film that relates the story of the First Battalion of Death, a women-only Russian combat unit that fought in the First World War, formed as part of an ill-conceived propaganda ploy by the Russian Provisional Government in late May of 1917.
