Zborov

7.8.2014

 

I made the flight to Zborov with the objective of promoting a movie in the making that I am working on with a successful Czech movie director Petr Nikolaev. The movie will focus on the unbelievable stories of the Czech and Slovak legion in Russia between 1914-1921. Zborov was the site of their first battle in 1917 as a separate Czech-Slovak unit within the Russian army.
