Synopsis
A photograph of the Kexholm regiment, taken in 1903, captures over 1,000 soldiers in a single frame measuring 65 by 110 cm. The film contrasts this image with letters and memoirs from soldiers and officers of the pre-revolutionary army. These writings reflect the values that guided Russian soldiers: love for the Motherland, loyalty to their oath, and a willingness to sacrifice. The documentary runs for 22 minutes and combines historical visuals with personal narratives.
