Perekop

Kavaleridze's silent revolutionary epic Perekop depicts the Perekop-Chongar operation (1920) during the Russian Civil War, in which the Red Army, led by Nestor Makhno's troops, defeated Wrangel, took Crimea, and, according to the axiom of Soviet historiography, ended the civil war. However, according to Kavaleridze, he is not only talking about this: "my film is dedicated to the three Perekop - the military, the destruction of the kulak and the implementation of the five-year plan."
