Kochubey
Original Theatrical Poster
Kochubey is a Soviet 1958 B&W historical war movie directed by Yuriy Ozerov and based on the novel by Arkadiy Perventsev. It depicts the life and death of Ivan Antonovich Kochubey (Nikolay Rybnikov ), a notable Red Army commander of Russian Civil war, known for his courage and talent of military leader, but also for incredible indiscipline. This lead him to conflict with high command of Red Army (in the movie this conflict is shown as a result of a conspiracy of White agents). As a result, Kochubey's brigade was disbanded. With several trusted men, Kochubey falls under attack of Whites. Exhausted by the disease, he is captured and executed.
The following weapons were used in the film Kochubey :
