Arsenal (Russian: Арсенал, also alternative title January Uprising in Kiev in 1918) is a Soviet film by Ukrainian director Alexander Dovzhenko. The film was made in 1928 and released early in 1929. It is the second film in his "Ukraine Trilogy", the first being Zvenigora (1928) and the third being Earth (1930).

The film concerns an episode in the Russian Civil War in 1918 in which the Kiev Arsenal January Uprising of workers aided the besieging Bolshevik army against the Ukrainian national Parliament Central Rada who held legal power in Ukraine at the time. Regarded by film scholar Vance Kepley, Jr. as "one of the few Soviet political films which seems even to cast doubt on the morality of violent retribution", Dovzhenko's eye for wartime absurdities (for example, an attack on an empty trench) anticipates later pacifist sentiments in films by Jean Renoir and Stanley Kubrick.

Synopsis

Après la révolution russe de 1917, la bourgeoisie tient les rênes du pouvoir dans une Ukraine désormais indépendante. En janvier 1918, pour défendre leurs idéaux, les bolcheviks lancent une grève qui paralyse Kiev, la capitale. La révolte des ouvriers de l'arsenal va y être réprimée dans le sang.

Senior Sergeant Vaskov is stationed with a group of young female anti-aircraft gunners in a railway station far from the front line.
