Bohaterowie Sybiru ("Heroes of Siberia") is a 1936 Polish black and white drama film directed by Michał Waszyński. It was preserved until modern times.




Plot


In 1918, by the end of World War I a group of Polish POWs from the Austro-Hungarian Army, after leaning about the establishment of the independent Poland form a military detachment, which moves to join the Polish army. After their adventures amid the Russian Civil War they join the Polish 5th Rifle Division.




Reception


The film review in Wiarus weekly (no.15, 1936) expressed a positive opinion. However Michał Sabatowicz (1895-1977) wrote that "unfortunately, it ended where its content should have started. It didn't evoke emotions from the viewers and left the screens. And yet it was a great opportunity to make this final tragedy of the Siberian wandering more vivid. Slavgorod, taiga,
Klyukvennaya, Krasnoyarsk - mass graves - burials of hundreds of bodies in the moonlight - terrible nights and longing days, escapes, steppes, return to the fighting Poland and a rifle in hands again - this is a topic that would have captivated even this generation that is slowly getting to know us. However, the opportunity was not taken."
