Адмиралъ


Admiral is a 2008 biopic about Alexander Kolchak a Vice-Admiral in the Imperial Russian Navy and leader of the anti-communist White Movement during the Russian Civil War. The film also depicts the love triangle between the Admiral, his wife, and the poetess Anna Timireva.
Again beautifully shot and acted - there is an even longer version (10 parts)  that aired on Russian TV - worth a watch if you are interested in this often over-looked or little-understood time in russian history.
The theme tune.
