description: Army stories (War) versus women's stories (Peace) make a compelling portrait of post-post-perestroika Russia. The message is that any war inevitably sows hatred among otherwise peaceful people. The women's stories immerse you in the world of basic human values but also aging, the generation gap, and violence against women.
