A new Russian historical epic premieres Thursday. It's called "Admiral" with the tag line "for love is strong as death." The film is created by the same team that produced the international hit 'Night Watch'.
"Admiral" is the life story of Alexander Kolchak, one of the most outstanding and complicated people in Russian history.

The polar explorer and naval commander opposed the revolution of 1917. Kolchak joined the White Army and fought against the Bolsheviks.

In 1919 he was declared supreme commander of Russia. A great part of Russia's territory in Siberia and the Far East came under his command.

Andrei Kravchuk, Director of "Admiral", said, "It's a man who tries to create history, to take an active part in history, but he gets caught in the turmoil. However he keeps on struggling, he preserves his honour, his dignity and he continues to love".

"Admiral" is also a film about a great love, set against the backdrop one of the most dramatic periods in Russian history. It was an era that brought the Japanese War of 1905, the First World War and the Russian Civil War.

Kolchak was a beloved husband and father.

He met Anna Timireva, who was married to Kolchak's closest friend. Timireva became the love of Kolchak's life.

War and destiny separated them but their love endured.

Liza Boyarskaya, who plays Anna, says this story can't be compared with other Russian classics like Doctor Zhivago.

Liza Boyarskaya, Actress of "Admiral", said, "The only thing they have in common is the ability of the Russian women - as it's described in many novels - to love. To love to the last drop of blood, to the bitter end, to death, they can leave their family and children for the sake of the man they love".

"Admiral" is set for release, October 9th.

What the actress is saying is very true, Russian wifes can leave their husbands and children and go on fucking other men. That is what the film tells us its adultary,being unfaithful to ones family ( wife and son on the part of the Admiral and the poor husband on the part of Anna the female main character)

In reality the Admiral didn't survived the 1920. He was a hero by all means but was he faithful to his wife and son?

If you are not familiar with Russian woman, never charge them! Russian woman will never leave her kids, in regards to the husband,dont Amercan or europian woman leave there husbands???

As to the film, its fantastic movie, Anna left her husband because she didnt love him, and it was an arranged marrige for her.

@katinasvenska I am sorry. I don't understand your Question?

@VLADIMIRJUANOVICH Why Mexico?

[OLGAPAY]

By the way, the actress which had the role of Anna did not say any word about LEAVING HER CHILDREN AND FAMILY in this piece, as Anna did not do it in the film.... bad translation... :(((

@vnck25

He was honest till the end! Don't you remember that he asked for devorce? Don't you remember that Anna said the truth to her husband? Did not you get that they only had seen each other (but not fucked as you say) all the time befofre they have said all the truth to theirs families?

Anna had no children by the way

If you are looking for a reason to say something bad about russian women and use any occasion for that - shame on you.... too primitive...

[Helenefromkenigsberg]

Oh people, this movie it´s not about love... It is just background .. hehe

What are you talking about haha And their love and reasons - not for weak mind.

People like Kolchak are born only in Russia.

Haha - "you know russians after relationchip with russian ". Young russians know almost nothing about real Russia,gone Russia, those till 1917

You will not grasp her with your mind

Or cover with a common label,

For Russia is one of a kind –

Believe in her, if you are able

@cctvupload IT'S A LIE. I AGREE WITH MISS VSZ. YOU DON'T KNOW RUSSIAN WOMEN. MY MOTHER NEVER LEFT US. SHE WAS AND STILL IS A DEDICATED MOTHER AND WIFE WHO FOLLOWED HER HUSBAND TO A STRANGE AND UNKNOWN COUNTRY FOR HER (MEXICO). ALL THE EDUCATION, MORAL, CIVIC AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR CAME FROM MY MOTHER IN OPPOSITION TO MACHISTA LATINAMERICAN EDUCATION. IF YOU NEVER HAD KNOWN RUSSIAN WOMEN DON'T SAY STUPID AND DON'T SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE ABOUT THE TOPIC.
