In the early 70's the last century, a famous film director and a wonderful actor, Vladimir Basov, made a film on an autobiographical novel Ahto Levy "Notes Grey Wolf", the picture produced furror among audiences, people looked movie 3-4 times and buy tickets for a few sessions in a row. The reason for this was unbeatable and the acting director's talent Vladimir Basov, but the main thing is different. The movie was, so to speak, not the Soviet and not clear how Basov generally managed to release it to the screen. Hero of the film was not familiar to all Soviet citizens, and not a simple guy with a lot, 'Forest Brothers', an enemy of Soviet power, the will of fate has got a complicated life krugovorot.Begstvo from Nazi-occupied Estonia in Germany looking for earnings of foreign cities and their own crimes … All understood and agreed – it is necessary to go back. But his return he found neither at home nor family. Joining a gang of 'forest brothers' hero decides to take revenge …
and then the camp with their harsh laws, and finally return to normal life. It makes no sense to tell the story the movie, you can learn by reading books Ahto Levy, "Proceedings of the Gray Wolf," and "More." While enthusiasts through Internet book survived, I do not think they know shyrokoy public. That is the reason for this was a triumph and the film, but for one thing and its grave-digger, having passed through the screens of the country once he disappeared forever from the Field of spectators. All I could find about the movie you see at the beginning of the publication, has survived even the staff, which could create a poster for the film. By not tested danym, there is a version that in the depths of Mosfilm vsetaki kept a copy of the movie. Hopefully, after reading this article even so someone will be able to return to life "BACK TO LIFE."
