Don't get me started on the whole made up story. I'm still surprised that military prosecutors who uncovered the truth were not shot or sent to GULAG.

We all known it's a legend made for propaganda ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panfilov's_Twenty-Eight_Guardsmen ) but one entertaining and with realistic scene unlike some modern movie.
There is a lot of Hollywood productions that are the same like Fury, U-571 or Dunkirk (the miracle of Dunkirk, the Dunkirk spirit built on the 16,000 french soldiers who sacrifice their life defending the pocket so the tired Tommie's - according to Alexander - on the beach could have sail safely to England but on the movie the French troops are just see for 10s).

with realistic scene

Russian and film makers in general still need to learn that the impact of AP rounds doesn't have the same effect on soft targets as HE rounds would .... See that mistake in most war movie.
