Komandir

Based on real events, the new biopic 'Komandir' has premiered. The story focuses on Gennady Zaitsev, commander of the 'Alpha' group, the first counter-terrorist unit in the history of the USSR. We are now getting to know a lot more about one of its first leaders.

Gennady Zaitsev is an ordinary man, a man of the people. During his childhood, Zaitsev had to help his mother with the housework and take care of his sisters. Despite having no significant connections or acquaintances, he remained determined and resolute in achieving his goals. Eventually, he was appointed as the leader of the 'Alpha' group, which is responsible for combating terrorism.

Zaitsev's next and most crucial mission was to handle the situation in the city of Ordzhonikidze, where terrorists had taken an entire bus full of children hostage. There is little time left for the successful completion of the operation, and Zaytsev would have to show all his talents here, in order for everything to be well in the end.

The movie was captivating and dramatic, primarily due to the admirable qualities of the main character and the obstacles he overcomes.

'Komandir' is a powerful and moving film based on true events. In my opinion, watching it in the theater is definitely worthwhile.
