The 9th Company 2005 DVDRip XviD-PROMiSE (Russian)

Young Soviet Army recruits are stuck in the bloody war in Afghanistan, that was started by politicians.

Russian war film based on the true story of a company of soldiers isolated in the mountains during the disastrous 1979-1989 Afghan war

The Soviet campaign in Afghanistan ended in 1989 with ignominious defeat and withdrawal having cost (according to conservative Soviet estimates) 15,000 soldiers' lives with another 500,000 sick and injured. Meanwhile, two million Afghan combatants and civilians are said to have died. It was, as US sponsors of the Afghan resistance forces had hoped, "the Soviet Vietnam".

And if Afghanistan was Vietnam, The 9th Company does its damndest to be the Russian equivalent of Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now. The parallels are clear: it's an ambitious big budget film, politically cynical, but glorifying youthful valour. In line with the Vietnam directors, Fyodor Bondarchuk has also stated that his intent is to reflect the experience of his own generation.

To its credit, The 9th Company doesn't come off too badly from comparisons with its illustrious American forebears, although at times it does seem slavishly adherent to the template that they have laid down. With its two part structure based around a brutal training regime followed by bloody slaughter, it closely resembles Full Metal Jacket and there are very few surprises in terms of plot development. The men it follows are all variations on well-worn stereotypes. There's the seemingly-sadistic but sweet at heart warrant officer who forces the young troops through their paces at training camp, there's the artist, the young father, the virginal lover and the boor who loves his buddies.
