***the terror of the KGB which seemingly had its own agenda.

You can say that again. One of the most bone-chilling parts of film is the arrest of that major with burnt face...

On balance I would not go as far in my appreciation of that film as you do, but we certainly enjoyed watching it.

If one wished to see stereotyping, he would find it in this movie, just not as overt, and definitely of Russian flavor, but hey, many stereotypes are born in reality. For instance, a Jewish boy, totally out of place in the army... subject of so many sad jokes and... realities... we have two friends who were just like that.

It was the overall humanity and the complexity of the characters - tinear 05:01:23 11/26/07 (0)
which I found unusual in the genre of military pictures.
I hope Netflix hurries up and gets a lot more Todorovsky films!
