Borodino video (Voyna i Mir)

Voyna i Mir (War and Peace) is a Russian film from 1968, based on the eponymous book by Leo Tolstoy, and directed by Sergei Bondarchuk.

The Battle of Borodino scene included 120,000 soldiers, making it one of the largest battle scenes ever filmed. Many museums in the old USSR contributed artifacts for the production design, making it one of the most elaborate films ever created. The film was made with the complete cooperation of the Soviet Army, which is how they managed to get as many extras into the war scenes as they did.

    Hi Ian
    The battle scenes of this Russian version are much better than the ones from Holliwood's version!
