"Twenty-eight Panfilov": a folk film against the falsification of history
December 5 to the creative team of filmmakers came positive news. The Russian Ministry of Culture decided not to stay aside from the filming of the military-patriotic tape and from the three film scenarios for financial and informational support chose the script for the film “28 Panfilov”. True, there were those who declared the need to abandon state support for the film being shot. Like, if the state intervenes in the shooting, then the train of national cinema will dissolve.
To be honest, the logic of such people is not entirely clear. After all, if in Russia, from outside, for example, Gazprom-Media financially supports the work of the radio station Ekho Moskvy, on which frankly Russophobic and distorting the story along with the reality of materials (albeit in blogs) often appear, then why not an opportunity to create a truly patriotic film with the involvement of public funds (including state funds). Those who are opposed to accepting funds from the budget of the Ministry of Culture clearly forget that this segment of the state budget is replenished with funds from Russian taxpayers, and therefore, by and large, these are the same popular funds as those who came to the fund from caring people directly.
"Military Review" does not remain aloof from the financial and informational support of the national cinema about the feat of the Red Army fighters near Moscow. The authors and, as the author’s team is aware, a considerable number of readers of “VO” transfer funds to the foundation of a studio engaged in shooting a film. When the film is released, and now the second stage of filming has begun, it will be gratifying to realize that the personal contribution of each of those who oppose the falsification of history and the hanging of neoliberal labels in the “one rifle for three” style is in the national film.
One of the important details of the film is that the actors involved in it work for free, without demanding for themselves fees and bonuses. This is a truly unique practice that says that there are no enthusiasts and disinterested people in Russia who value the memory of their ancestors, their glorious feats, which allow us all today to live, work and raise children freely.
One of the main roles in the film is played by actor Alexander Ustyugov, who is known from the films “The Saboteur. The end of the war "," Fathers and Sons "," Sunstroke "and several others. The entire creative team of the film is truly a group of like-minded people who are ready to give themselves to work, overcoming the difficulties that they have to face when creating a national film.
From the text presentation of the film "Twenty-eight Panfilovites":
316-I proved to be so efficient and successful military unit that 17 November 41-th year gained the status of the guard and became the 8-th Guards. It so happened that the next day General Panfilov died, but the division received the right to retain his name in its name. This honor in the Soviet Army received, just one more division - 25 Guards, named after Chapaev.
So, the 16 of November (two days before the death of the general) the 4 company of the 2 battalion of the 1075 regiment of the Panfilov division accepted the battle, which was destined to become a legend of the Great Patriotic War.
In this battle, the 28 Panfilovs, who had established themselves near the Dubosekovo junction, stood in the way of the German tank battalion ... And they stopped him.
The feat of 28-i Panfilov heroes became one of the brightest symbols of the battle for Moscow.
The words of political instructor Klochkov - “Great Russia, but nowhere to retreat. Behind Moscow "could be found in almost every war museum.
In Kazakhstan, in the homeland of the heroes, they erected monuments, and on the battlefield erected a memorial.
Children in schools learned about the battle from Dubosekovo, before they began to study history. The text about Panfilov was in the textbook of the Native Speech for elementary school and children were taught to read from this text.
And lines:
... in the hearts will live twenty eight
The bravest of your sons
Still sound in the anthem of Moscow.
But, all this, however, did not prevent the feat to debunk.
And now, today, any teenager typing in Google: “28 Panfilov’s” will receive information abundant in “facts” about how and why the myth of 28 soldiers who stopped the German was invented Tanks.
In the courtyard XXI century. Dyshlo historical "truth" turned away from their heroes. But the past will remain unchanged. And in this past, in the distant 41, from under the fortifications, plowed up by bombs, the soldiers of the 4-th company will get out, shake off the dirty snow, pay off, understand that all 28 is left, finish their cigarettes, pick up grenades will meet an avalanche of German tanks ...
The main goal of the film is precisely to show one of the iconic historical episodes of the battle for Moscow to the modern viewer - to show it without gloss, billions of dollars in budgets and without altering history. Show so that 28 Panfilov and today repelled the attack - the attack of those whose primary task is to blacken the memory of the Soviet soldier, pseudo-historical lies, aimed at shaking the national and state principles.
The team of “Military Review” and, I would like to hope, the majority of our readers, expresses words of support for the creative group engaged in the creation of the much-needed feature film today, and wishes successful work in the patriotic field.
All details about the preparation of the film can be found on the official website of the project - http://28panfilovcev.comand also in LiveJournal on 28kino.
PS On my own behalf: thanks to all those who have helped or are ready to help in the process of shooting the film “Twenty-eight Panfilovs”.
