The Forty-First (Russian: Сорок первый) is a 1927 Soviet war film directed by Yakov Protazanov based on a novel of the same name by Boris Lavrenyov.
The film is set during the Russian Civil War. Across the white sands of Central Asia, the Red Army's detachment is advancing, led by the Commissioner Yevsyukov. They are dying of thirst and are pursued by the Whites. Based on the battle account, the best shooter of Maryutki's squad killed forty Whites. In the last battle to capture the caravan, a White lieutenant aristocrat Govorukha-Otrok is captured, who was sent on a diplomatic mission from Alexander Kolchak to Anton Denikin.
