Szwadron plot

A young Russian aristocrat, Baron Fyodor Jeremin, volunteers to serve in a Dragon Squadron to impress the girl who rejected his love. At that precise moment, the 1863 uprising broke out in Poland. He signs up to serve in the army that has to suppress the uprising. He believes that now it is enough to defeat the Poles, become an officer and hero, get a bunch of medals and then return and lay all this at the feet of her beloved. But the war does not go as he expected.

Patriotism and nationalism cannot be denied to Poles. The willingness to fight for the homeland in Poland is one of the highest in all of Europe. Lowest in the Netherlands and Belgium. It is perhaps an underlying explanation, in addition to the impact of the Second World War and the centuries-long relationship with the Russian neighbor, for the multitude of historical films. The rich history is palpable in this country and the past is treated with respect. Well...in the film and culture world anyway

In Szwadron, Juliusz Machulski shows the Russian perspective in the uprising of 1863. In the doubts of the main character, the justice of the Polish cause ultimately comes to fruition. Understandably, such a script could not appear on screen until after 1989.
