Alexander Parkhomenko (film)

Alexander Parkhomenko, (Александр Пархоменко) is a 1942 Soviet biographical drama film directed by Leonid Lukov.

Plot
The film tells the story of the life of Alexander Parkhomenko, the commander who served in times of civil war, which goes to Tsaritsyn and there, leading the "Red" battalions, forcing the enemy to leave the city.

The portrayal of the actual participation of the Red army in Ukraine is questionable, as "the Red Army had never engaged the Germans, except for some minor skirmishes, let alone defeated them."
