9 Рота/The 9th Company

Director Fyodor Bondarchuk

Russia, 2005, 126 min

In Russian with English subtitles

Sponsors: Art Pictures Studio and the Russian Club at UNC Charlotte

Discussion led by Kate Skorodinskaya, MA, instructor in Russian studies, will follow the screening.

“9th Company” is a war drama. A group of young Soviet soldiers are drafted to serve in Afghanistan during the final year of the Soviet conflict. It shows the contrast between the inhumane conditions of the war and vibrant young men who became a unit. During the defense of Height 3234, they were forgotten, but continued to fight, not aware that the war had ended. The film is loosely based on a real-life battle that happened in 1988, during the last Soviet military operation in Afghanistan.
