Recalling his preparations for tackling the movie’s main protagonist, that of Lieutenant Nikolai Ivushkin, actor Alexander Petrov said: “Before filming ‘T-34’, I rented a small room for several weeks and covered its walls with wartime photographs, depicting those who fought in the war, who were in captivity or under occupation. However, this is where the similarities between the two movies end and the plot of ‘T-34’ begins to follow its own storyline. Its plot is, in many ways, similar to that of ‘Skylark’: The crew of a Soviet tank, who are meant to be used as a live target for Wehrmacht servicemen, escape from a German military base in a T-34. This spectacular and expensive military blockbuster is packed with computer graphics (and a must-watch for fans of ‘World of Tanks’!).

The commander was captured and was hanged in the evening of the same day. German soldiers, who by then, had caught up with the tank riddled it with fire. In order to escape, the tank crew had to run the kids over. They escaped from a tornado of shelling, spent two hours circling on German territory until they reached a bridge, just as a group of schoolchildren was crossing it. Not wanting to die in vain, one of the tank crews (and a French Resistance fighter who joins them) decides to try to break free in their T-34…ĭirector Leonid Menaker said its plot was inspired by real events, which he had read about in a newspaper: “One of the crews managed to start their T-34. Anti-tank gun crews are being trained at a German military base using captured Soviet T-34 tanks manned by Soviet prisoners of war used as human targets.
