Nomadic Front

1972 · 90 min

A sober, earnest historical war drama that moves deliberately through a harsh snowy landscape, carrying a serious and somewhat distant weight.

Overview
1919, Russian Civil War. Siberia was united under the rule of the White Guard General Kolchak. Unwilling to recognize his power, 32 common villages from the Yenisei province declare themselves the independent Soviet Badja Republic. The Badja guerrillas, led by the hero of the WWI Pyotr Shchetinkin, quickly become a serious enemy for the White Guard.
