'At the Edge of the Abyss'. Premiere
2024-11-26
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

The film maker, Maxim Fadeev, has a YouTube channel in which there are snippets of this project with English subtitles. The film is being re-sent on Russian broadcast entities, so no English translation.

The video at the end is another snippet from the final project. It shows the Donetsk "Somalia" rifle unit room clearing a high rise building in Mariupol.

The video has English subtitles.

[ColonelCassad] It happened! Our tetralogy "On the edge of the abyss. The battle for Mariupol through the eyes of an eyewitness" is being released on domestic online platforms from today - note that this is the FIRST documentary about the SVO that they will show. A great beginning and a real event!

Maxim Fadeev filmed a four-part film in the very hell, in the assault formations of the Donetsk battalion "Somalia" - on the very edge of the abyss. This is an immersive film and a monumental film at the same time. The realities of war are honest, open and unvarnished. Independent cinema - exclusively on public funds.

Unique footage: cleansing, capturing enemies, artillery duels, rescuing fellow soldiers and the fates of the civilian population of the burning city - all this in a gripping documentary action from the first person, at arm's length. Go and see!
