It is a nonsense from the historical point of view. Looks like a propaganda against any progressive movement in support of tyranny.

The plot of the film takes place over several decades of the 19th century. Russian troops managed to fight back Napoleon and took over Paris. It was not an easy time, young officers believed they could change the whole world for the better. Idealists look into the eyes of the enemy courageously without fear. Who can achieve the desired and show the will and power if not they?

To begin with, they decided to put an end to injustice at home and decided to establish a constitutional monarchy. But despite all the ideals and faith in their truth, it was not easy to fulfill their plan.

Andrei Kravchuk's film "The Union of Salvation" is a large-scale historical study that describes some of the most difficult pages of the Russian Empire history. The revolt of the Decembrists had to show the emperor that the old rules and laws were no longer able to restrain the empire from collapse, and although the rebellion was suppressed, it became a special precedent that brought the country under global historical changes.

The story turned out to be stunning, with rich scenery, costumes, large-scale battle scenes. We can see what all the money was spent on, rather big amount of money. Nothing of the kind I have ever seen in Russian cinematography before. The film was made by people who definitely knew their job.

TO sum up: "The Union of Salvation" turned out to be a strong historical picture, in which real heroes of the past appear, capable of fighting against the system in order to raise the state from its knees. The film deserves attention.

I purchased this as a blue ray when it first came out because I love this period, and it wasn't disappointing. The only problem was the subtitles were really bad, incomplete, and sometimes would just vanish.

There is now a new version of it on YouTube with really good subtitles and scenes that were not in the first release. It is way better because you can follow the story. It is a great movie, and way more than a 5 and it is not propaganda, it is inspirational, unless of course you are a Russophobe.

Ask yourself, when all the rest of the countries have descended into a total mishmash of anarchy and mixed and competing cultures and races, what country will still exist in its purity. Russia, it is already a 1,000-year-old country, discount and disrespect it at your peril.

Director Andrei Kravchuk has made so far such interesting films on historical subjects as "Admiral" and "Viking". Now he took up the Decembrist revolt in the film "Union of Salvation." Personally I think that in this impromptu trilogy, Kravchuk's latest work is the most powerful.

It tells us about young Russian officers who returned home after the war with Napoleon. Having managed to defeat such a dangerous enemy, our heroes decided to make their own country better. Now they need to change the existing monarchical order. Gradually, the plot fits the events on the Senate Square and it is worth seeing with your own eyes ...

Some of the scenes in the film scared me very much, others are admirable. And the most interesting thing is that most of the material was taken by the authors from documentary sources. There is no special fiction here.

It's not easy to watch such a movie. On the one hand, it's very beautiful, on the other hand, it describes complex historical moments, sacrifices and the collapse of hopes, but that's the life - you need to describe it as it is, or not start the movie at all. Fortunately, Andrei Kravchuk knows his business and gave us a unique opportunity to see on the screen what we previously could see only in books.

The Union of Salvation is worth watching. The film came out confident and ambitious. You may sense the hand of a master in it, and if you want to learn a little more about Russian history, then you should definitely take the "Salvation Union" into account.

We saw goverment spent money on the movies with propaganda tagets, but doing it not just bad, But hypocritically, talantless and stupidly; twisting history and defaming heroes of the past, telling lies and exhibiting them as foolish people - that is just another step of turning verity upside down. The director of the movie and his team, are the people with no honor and shame. The point of their movie is - - 'live under tyrrany, don't say a word, there is no need of constitution for slaves, and You Are a slave, so don't dare to manifest any kind of human qualities'
