Plot synopsis
His fate more than once hung by a thread. Denunciations, injuries, war. Hero of the Soviet Union; General Nikolai Berzarin developed the plan for the capture of Hitler's headquarters. He became the first Soviet commander of Berlin. But he died in a banal traffic accident, while all around were celebrating the victory over the German fascists. This tragedy happened 65 years ago, but so far there is no clear answer to the question of whether the death was really accidental or an assassination. New testimonies and new facts are examined in the film.
