The Brest Peace (1989)

106 min · Soviet Union · Dir. Robert Sturua

Based on the play by Mikhail Shatrov, staged by the Theater. Vakhtangov Street. The story of the Brest Peace, a huge and monstrous compromise that the Bolshevik government made to save the revolution, had something Shakespearean in its scope, which allowed Robert Sturua, the creator of the most fascinating Shakespearean plays (Richard III, King Lear), to stage Shatrov's play as a variation of Shakespeare's chronicles.
