Then it was beautifully called: the fulfillment of international duty. And no one in the highest power spheres cared about the countless deaths of young guys and experienced officers and the fact that this mission was considered by the progressive world and local residents as an intervention.
Broken contract
The Afghan kink passed through many destinies, crippling, crippling or even destroying. The events of that war - one of the terrible pages in the history of dying totalitarianism - more than once were a source and reason for inspiration for filmmakers in our country. The film "Afghan Break" is regarded by many critics as one of the best works that raises this topic.
The action of the picture takes place at the end of hostilities: the Soviet troops are already ready to return to their homeland. Senior Lieutenant Steklov arrives in one of the regiments (the guy needs to “check in” in the combat zone, this will help his future career, so the high-ranking dad made a fuss). It would seem that the war is over, what could threaten a newcomer? At the suggestion of the regiment commander, Nikita Steklov, Mikhail Bandura, a battle-hardened major, is taken to patronize. ToSoviet units could freely leave foreign territory, an armistice agreement is concluded. However, the dushmans do not want to retreat and set up an ambush, which turned into a bloody massacre for the civilian population, enemy fighters and for ours…
Constellation of talents
“The Afghan Break” was staged in 1991 by the Leningrad director Vladimir Bortko, who by that time had become famous for his amazingly organic adaptation of Bulgakov’s work “Heart of a Dog.”
To the great surprise of his compatriots, he invited Michele Placido to the main role of Major Bandura. Probably, one of the reasons for such a strange choice was the super popularity of this artist in our country after the triumphal procession on the TV screens of the mafia saga "Octopus". Placido is the same inimitable Cattani commissioner of the four seasons of the crime drama. Steklov was played by the son of Oleg Yankovsky (by the way, who also took part in the work on the film “The Afghan Break”: he dubbed the Italian) Philip. A whole constellation of popular artists - that's what "Afghan Kink" is. Actors Alexei Serebryakov, Tatyana Dogileva, who previously starred in Bortko's "Blonde Around the Corner", Viktor Proskurin, Nina Ruslanova, father and son Krasko, Mikhail Zhigalov. Plus, Yury Kuznetsov, Viktor Bychkov, Mikhail Trukhin and Anastasia Melnikova, who "migrated" later to "Streets of Broken Lights" (the first episodes of which were also directed by Vladimir Bortko).
It all came together
Strong cast, extraordinary, soul-changing plot(written by four authors: Alexander Chervinsky, Mikhail Leshchinsky, Ada Petrova, Leonid Bogachuk), wonderful camera work by Vladimir Fedosov, poignant music by Vladimir Dashkevich, vocals by Alexander Rosenbaum. All this came together and made "The Afghan Break" if not a masterpiece, then a very worthy work of modern cinema. And although some participants in the hostilities in Afghanistan criticized the picture, it should be remembered that real events and their embodiment in feature cinema are still different things.
