The film was shot at a specially built film complex "VoenFilm" in Medyn, where a village was built, pillboxes were dug, a river was built and filled with water, and part of the Varshavskoye Highway was dumped. Historical consultants tried to achieve maximum reliability of what was shown, up to the reconstruction of the numbers of tanks and aircraft; in particular, Bezrukov's character is armed with a Thompson submachine gun, since such a weapon was found during excavations at the Ilyinsky border.

Seems "Army of the Dead" was directed by the same guy who did "Dawn of the Dead," so might actually have a chance at being entertaining. I've not seen most every other film he directed.

I lived in Odessa, Texas for a bit back in the 90's. I'm pretty sure the Odesa in Ukraine is much more scenic.

Maybe you should start a Youtube channel for your film "reviews" NFB?

I did the DNA test with Ancestry.com a couple of years ago and my ethnicity origin results were:
Spain 44% Portugal 23% France 7% Germanic Europe 4%
Nope, no Ukrainian in me at all.
