Connection
Boris Vasilyev is a Scriptwriter Russe born on 21 may 1924 at Smolensk (Russie)
Boris Lvovich Vasilyev (Russian: Борис Львович Васильев; 21 May 1924 – 11 March 2013) was a Soviet writer. He is considered the last representative of the so-called "lieutenant prose", a group of former low-ranking Soviet officers who dramatised their traumatic World War II experience.
After his World War II service, Vasiliev enrolled at the Malinovsky Tank Academy. His short novel The Dawns Here Are Quiet was a Soviet bestseller, selling 1.8 million copies within a year after its publication in 1969. It was adapted for the stage and the screen; there is also an opera and a Chinese TV series based on the story.
The Dawns Here Are Quiet was the first of Vasiliev's sentimental patriotic tales of female heroism in the Second World War ("Not on the Active List", 1974; "Tomorrow There Came War", 1984) which brought him renown in the Soviet Union, China, and other communist countries. Many of his books give a harsh picture of life in Stalin's Russia.
Vasiliev's short novel Don't Shoot the White Swans (1973), a milestone of Russian-language environmental fiction, is sharply critical of "the senseless destruction of beautiful creatures and the exploitation of nature for personal gain". It was made into a 1980 Soviet film.
Vasiliev was awarded the USSR State Prize for 1975 and was a member of the jury at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival. In 1989, he quit the USSR Communist Party but grew disillusioned with the Perestroika rather quickly. In October 1993, he signed the Letter of Forty-Two. Late in life, Vasiliev turned to historical fiction based on incidents from medieval Russian chronicles.

L'histoire se déroule au printemps 1940. La vie des élèves de la classe de 9e "B" se déroule comme d'habitude. Au centre des événements se trouve Iskra Poliakova, délégué de classe et membre du Komsomol dévouée, dont la mère appelée camarade Poliakova est une communiste qui s'est distinguée lors de la Guerre civile russe. Les idéaux de la jeune Iskra sont limpides et comme elle le croit inébranlables, sa pensée est binaire tout comme celle de sa mère. Elle s'indigne sincèrement, par exemple, quand sa camarade de classe Zina lui pose les questions sur la féminité. Invitée à un anniversaire Iskra admire un poème récité par son amie Vika, fille du célèbre ingénieur aéronautique Leonid Liouberetski, mais fait volte-face apprenant qu'il est écrit par Sergueï Essénine, l'auteur désigné comme décadent par la critique soviétique. Imperturbable Vika lui demande si elle a déjà lu Essénine et lui prête le livre.

The film is set in Karelia (near Finland) in 1942 during World War II and was filmed near Ruskeala. Senior Sergeant Vaskov is stationed with a group of young female anti-aircraft gunners in a railway station far from the front line. Vaskov is not used to these gunners' active, playful personalities and therefore clashes with them over daily issues. But Vaskov, being the only man in the village, has to accommodate them in many cases.
