In 1918, Leon Trotsky founded the Red Army. After the victory over Nazism, the glory of the Red Army was initially over. This two-part documentary deconstructs in an epic narrative - fed by excerpts from letters and diaries of high-ranking officers and anonymous individuals - the perpetuated myth of an army crowned with glory, touching on nearly a century of military defeats, summary executions, purges and abuses of troops.
