Wiki.

Chapaev (Russian: Чапаев, IPA: [tɕɪˈpaɪf]) is a 1934 Soviet biographical war film, directed by the Vasilyev brothers for Lenfilm.

The film is a heavily fictionalised biography of Vasily Ivanovich Chapayev (1887–1919), a Red Army notable commander of the Russian Civil War. It is based on the novel of the same name by Dmitri Furmanov, a Russian writer and Bolshevik commissar who fought together with Chapayev.

According to president Vladimir Putin's statement in 2014, Chapaev is his favorite film of all time.
