But the script writer Cyril Rapoport in the process of work was able to create something more: a scenario of an epic picture that tells about the life of the Soviet military in general and the general.

But the artistic council demanded the removal of these scenes from the script and many others. Rapoport refused to do this, then rewritten the script instructed Boris Vasilyev.
