- 4 April 1936 (1936-04-04)
Bohaterowie Sybiru ("Heroes of Siberia") is a 1936 Polish black and white drama film directed by Michał Waszyński. It was preserved until modern times.[1][2]
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.[3][2]
Reception
The film review in Wiarus weekly (no.15, 1936) expressed a positive opinion.[4] 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."[5]
