9TH COMPANY

Soviet Union's powerful motion picture industry turned out hundreds of war pictures during the Cold War years, not a single one of which received a major release in the United States. Made with production resources -- full military cooperation, armies of extras -- the biggest of these pictures are said to dwarf our action spectaculars. The only catch was that the films mainly had one theme, the holy sacrifice of millions to save Mother Russia from Hitler's onslaught. Through their war films, Russians relived sentimental stories of dauntless heroes and tough military decisions that had to be made to save the nation. The Soviet experience in WW2 was nothing like our own.
