on a successful operation.

Thank you...

Not only my achievement,

but the entire army...

Nothing can lift spirits

of the soldiers as an attack.

I heard from the Allies that

they're about to recognize your government

as the only legitimate one in Russia...

Whatever laws we pass we'll still be shot,

if we lose this war.

My heart swells with pride for you

and all who are fighting beside you

for the revival of Russia...

We need to build on our success

and continue the offensive in all directions.

Your goal is to reach Ufa.

Good luck, general. Godspeed!

More than a year has gone by

since the last time we met.

Your Excellency?

General Janin from

the Allies has arrived.

After all the changes we've been through

I was wondering how you would...

I... I'm afraid even

to think about this.

Most of all I'm afraid to place

you in an awkward situation

because of my unexpected arrival.

General Janin, our allies France and Britain

Have given you the rank

of Commander.

And you are the Supreme Commander of Russia.

Put it over here, bring the hot water!

A foreigner cannot command

the Russian army.

Do you inviting me to command

the Czech prisoners of war

who guard the railway?

It is a crucial object.

From now, you are commander

of the allied Czech forces.

I thank you, Admiral.

I thank you, General Janin.

All I need to know is that you

are in the world.

That nothing bad has

happened to you.

To see you sometimes,

even from afar.

If only you knew how

I am tempted to come

and see you so we could talk.

My love for you is

even greater than before.

I've been writing this letter

to you for so many days

and I still cannot bring

myself to send it.

Your Excellency!

I welcome you to our city!

Accept this bread and salt

as our hospitality.

The geese saved Rome and you

have saved our city.

Here you are, your Excellency...

It's a good thing it's

not a cow, gentlemen!

Write it down as a gift.

Officers and soldiers of the Russian army!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Perm, Ekaterinburg and Elabuga

have been taken.

General Kapel recently took Ufa

in battle.

We're only about 100

kilometers away

from Denikin's armies.

The Reds have broken the front in three places.

The First and the Second armies have been defeated.

Together with them we shall

move on Moscow!..

Go.

As the Apostle Paul said:

"For now we see

through a glass darkly...

And now abideth faith,

hope and love...

But the greatest of these is love."

May God help us!

You are starting to recover.

God is merciful.

There are rumours that

there will be evacuation.

Where are we going to load them?

Anna Vasilievna,

You should speak with him:

Well, about the rail wagons.

- Are the Reds so close?

- Haven't you heard the cannons?

There are not enough cars

for the wounded.

Kolchak can't think about them.

You should have reminded him.

Vera, it's impossible.

Besides, we were not that close.

Who will listen to me?

But you are a lady.

They will listen to you

and kiss your hand.

I don't know

how to act as a petitioner.

Come on, my dear,

it would be easy for you.

Ladies, they brought some

wounded officers.

From our side.

Let's go.

There are pockets of resistance

even in the far rear.

It's worse at the front, a

not to mention the constant lack

of ammunition and provisions.

The Reds have crossed the Tobol River.

Omsk can never surrender.

Losing Omsk means

losing the army.

We can't risk the army.

Gentlemen! There can only be one decision:

To fight with our last force

to save Omsk.

Yes. Of course.

I swear before God! I am with you!

Kappel's army is still trying

to keep back the Bolsheviks,

but to leave the front to protect

Omsk would spell disaster!

Giving up Omsk -

That would be the disaster!

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I'm from the front, so no time

to make myself more presentable.

- May I come in?

- Yes.

Bad news, gentlemen. Treason.

The second Ukrainian regiment has

defected

and abandoned the central front.

The Reds are moving towards Omsk.

They will be here in another week or two.

That's how it is, gentlemen.

It's your decision,

Sir Supreme Ruler.

I declare Irkutsk to be

the seat of power.

I order the evacuation

from Omsk to begin.

We will make this sacrifice

to save the army.

To carry on our struggle

against the Bolsheviks.

To carry on our struggle

against the Bolsheviks.

OMSK, NOVEMBER 1919

I'm not letting you through!

Move aside!

The Prime Minister's office

will be in carriage B.

Viktor Nikolaevich, tell me how

transportation of the wounded proceeding...

This is where the Executive Office

will be located.

And the last compartment

will be used for telegraph calls.

Alexander Vasilievich.

Could you come here

for a minute?

What?

I think I just saw Anna Vasilievna here.

Alexander Vasilievich, the medical cars

are completely full.

No room even for minor injuries.

- Open the carriage.

- I can't.

- Make room in the second car.

- The merchants are in there:

- They paid.

- Did you hear my order?

- It's up to you...

- Carry the wounded.

Would you like them to lie

in the snow?!

- Do as you... They're frozen.

- Carriage full.

Dear Anna Vasilievna:

Once I made an unforgivable

mistake in parting from you.

I never want to make

the same mistake again.

I... Will you come along with me?

In the same carriage.

I'm not sure if you'll agree

to remain always by my side

from now on. Morning and evening.

Otherwise I...

I can't go on without you...

My sweet dearest Anna Vasilievna!

No room!

Paris, France, 1919

"How long will the Supreme Ruler

of Russia continue to retreat?"

"The Ruler of Russia abandoned Omsk.

Has Kolchak lost the war to the Bolsheviks?"

TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILROAD

Merry Christmas.

Where is your ring, Anna Vasilievna?

I haven't worn it for ages -

and you didn't notice.

Anna Vasilievna, there is something

I need to tell you.

Today I wrote a letter to Sophia Federovna.

I asked her for a divorce.

I don't know how much time

the Lord has left me,

but I want to be honest

with her until the end:

Tell me... will you be my wife?

Alexander Vasilievich...

We're together at last.

Isn't that enough?

Anna Vasilievna, I asked you

a very clear question.

Why do you remain silent?

We haven't even said our Chirstmas toast.

What happened?

NIZHNEUDINSK STATION.

- Mama, look it's the Czechs!

- Step back!

It's the "Allies"!

Merry Christmas.

Greetings, Anna Vasilievna

- Why have we stopped again?

- The Czechs have delayed us.

The bastards are moving their 20,000 cars

stuffed full ofjunk and then

perhaps it will be our turn.

They are completely brazen!

Convoy - take your weapons!

Stand aside!

Major! Stopping the Ruler's

train is an act of treason...

The Admiral told the

convoy to take up arms.

It's an order from

General Janin...

General Janin must obey

the orders of Admiral Kolchak.

He is the Supreme Ruler of Russia.

Mr. Prime Minister.

There is an uprising in Irkutsk.
