The United States has information that the Russian military is executing soldiers who do not follow orders related to the war with Ukraine, the White House said on Thursday.
Enemy at the gates, Both movie (2001) and book (1973), give a graphic depiction of Stalin’s Not a step back command, Order No. 227, where soldiers were shot for refusing orders to die where they stand and not retreat in WW2.
There was no arrest, trail and formal execution as seen in Paths of Glory. The troops had the choice to be shot by the Germans in front of them or by the USSR Political Officers behind them.
The original Call of Duty (2003) featured a level about the battle of Stalingrad where you’re given a rifle but no ammo to start the level. That has always stuck with me.
Has Russia’s morality ever been above that? Apart from some minor glitches in the system seen as chaotic, its history goes from one dictator to another.
There’s a Stanley Kubrick movie about this that takes place in WWI called Paths of Glory. It’s really haunting.
Russia’s morality is back in the 1910s.
You don’t even have to go that far back.

Well no it was the other way 'round
It was obviously imitating Enemy at the Gates.
That was the Spielberg one, right? Opening level was intense enough for me.
That was a heavy movie. But definitely worth a watch.

Russian history is one harsh leader after another. No wonder their such hard people.
Hard alcoholic
Before the Mongols married into Moscow royalty. That’s how far back you would have to go.
“And then it got worse.” Russian history in a nutshell.
Hot take that’s his best film. Not that the rest aren’t great(Barry Lyndon aside)
Bruh wtf, Barry Lyndon is fire
Just not my cup of tea, the cinematography is great I just could not care any less about the characters. Glad you enjoyed it
