Participants of the Immortal Regiment movement in the Czech Republic have become the authors of a film entitled Price of Victory, the Victory.rf website reports.

The film is united by people who tell one story - the story of the liberation of the Czech people from the Nazi occupation.

One of the main characters in the film was Tatyana Eremenko, daughter of Army General Andrei Eremenko. She told how the forces of the 4th Ukrainian Front advanced, defeating the Nazi army. Tamara Galynina, representative of the Ostrava Russian House, recalled how expensive a small piece of sugar was during the war years.

Another heroine of the film, Irina Yurzhinova, who survived the terrible Leningrad blockade, described how residents of the city reacted to a column of German prisoners.

The participants in the Prague uprising of 1945, Lyudmila Gaykova and Emil Schneberg, met the victory at the barricades. Lyudmila Gaykova worked in a hospital and looked after both wounded Czechs and Germans. It is impossible to forget, according to her, how Prague residents greeted Soviet tankmen.

The memoirs of Army General Ludwik Svoboda, commander of the First Czechoslovak Corps, were read by his great-grandson Miroslav Klusak. Journalist Andrei Fozikosh spoke about his friend, war veteran Mark Blumenthal. He was among those who brought freedom to the Czechs in 1945.

The film was shot with the support of the daughter of Marshal Ivan Konev, Natalya Koneva, and the New Russian Film film festival.
