Series is the first important cinematographic production after the fall of the Soviet Union to address the subject of the Russian Revolution and civil war from 1917 to 1920. The series presents the fates of several characters on both sides of the conflict, caught in the turmoil of events beyond their control. It also shows important events which took place in that period such as the assassination of tsar Nicholas II and his family as well as the struggle of admiral Alexander Kolchak, head of state of the counter-revolutionary Russia until his defeat by the bolsheviks. The director does not take sided and presents the revolution and the civil war as a cruel and senseless confrontation between two parts of the people, in which nobody is a real winner and all ordinary people are losers.[2][3]
