Episode 8 52m. All well-said and well-intended but with the consequences that history showed this "love" had. The Russian actors completely forgot how to speak Russian, especially the language of that particular era. The two main sides are usually referred to as the Reds (Leon Trotsky became head of the communist Red Army) and the Whites (the anti-Reds, made up of all sorts of political groups and many former tsarist officers and Cossacks). 2 out of 5 found this helpful All Reviews: Very Positive (216) - 98% of the 216 user reviews for this game are positive. Important to see the perspective of early 20th century art from Russia, where most often we see this explosion of artistic fervor depicted in Paris or other enlightened European cities.

Swept up in political unrest during World War I, two sisters in St. Petersburg cope with turbulent romances as Russian history is made around them. Story moved at a nice pace. As it's based on the book by Alexey Tolstoy, credits for the story and the characters should be given to him. I am especially taken with the appearance and performance of Leonid Bichevin. It is a story about Russia, the people who claiming / believing they love it did horrible things in the name of this love. Obviously there are very great differences between the two stories, but I like the analogy as a quick introduction to my take on the latter film. In addition, a married couple who make frequent appearances in the series rob numerous people, and he also kills many.The four main characters—Katya, Dasha, and their husbands Vadim and Ivan—are all over the spectrum in their changing allegiances. This is a well done production that entertains throughout. Important to see the perspective of early 20th century art from Russia, where most often we see this explosion of artistic fervor depicted in Paris or other enlightened European cities. Production values are excellent as are the actors. But you know what they say, 'It takes all sorts to make the world.' It does paint a bleak picture of the vulnerability of women on their own in places of conflict and deals with rape and violence without being too explicit or gory.

I will not go into details , don't like spoilers myself, but if you like history drama with all the necessary ingredients such as love , politics , war, suspense , interesting story-line , than just sit back and enjoy this mini series.

It's a film about love. Too bad Hollywood doesn't produce film like this. it is more tragic on multiple levels than one might like but not overwhelming.

I don't know enough about Russian history, so I was very happy to find this title on Netflix. Episode 7 52m. 1 out of 7 found this helpful. I love Russia & Russian history, BUT I did not manage to finish the first episode. Swept up in political unrest during World War I, two sisters in St. Petersburg cope with turbulent romances as Russian history is made around them. Within a week, after soldiers refused to quell growing unrest, Nicholas abdicated.Two other aspects of the turbulent era that are captured well are the breakdown of law and order and the difficulty that many educated people had in deciding where their allegiances lie. This 12 episode series, based on Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoys book trilogy The Road To Calvary ( originally written in Russian ) was enthralling, beautiful, touching and heart wrenching. Finally, a captivating, artistic series from Netflix. Was this review helpful? 3.

Given a dozen main characters within the context of very real historical events in the old Russian empire after the fall of the tsar, taking place amid a hundred million inhabitants in the geographically largest country in the world, the story is however a gallimaufry of odd personal coincidences involving those characters. You will truly understand how the world evolved after this time, the idealism of the Bolshevics and how that went horribly wrong, and you will feel for the young sisters as horrible as their world becomes, it will only get worse. That is the single objection I have with the film, which is otherwise an engrossing and memorable addition to international cinema.

At different times, his forces fought against both Reds and Whites.

Their father is a doctor there, and both sisters on different occasions return to this Volga city from their homes in Petrograd. You can predict with ease each of these overlapping events. Thanks to whoever got this series to us in the epoch of Ant Man and Spider Man. There are lessons here for current times.

On one occasion, Bessonov writes poetry on the wall of a hut for a peasant woman he had become enamored with, but she tells him she cannot read.Dasha’s boyfriend and later husband, the engineer Ivan Telegin, works at a Petrograd factory, where the workers rebel against management.

Obviously there are very great differences between the two stories, but I like the analogy as a quick introduction to my take on the latter film.

I will not go into discussion how 1915-1920 were presented to viewers, but I want to point out the way actors play. Too Mother Russia, too arsty-farsty, too rich for my blood. A superb historical drama in all respects. If I was to be hyper critical it would be that 10 episodes not 12 would have been sufficient but a series based on a book trilogy might find it hard to be edited that way.

In the final episode there is a scene of children being mudered in an executional style shooting by War Lord, which may upset some. The story focuses on two loving sisters, two women lucky enough to be aristocratic with kind hearts and highly educated. It has everything: great acting, beautiful cinematography, perfect music score, history, costumes, love, war and on and on. I'm open for more. You will be transported to pre WW1 Russia in this extremely high quality TV series. Directing and cinematography is superb also.
