The operation is called "Chinese box". Byl or fiction?

The stories of the valor and heroism of Russian soldiers during the Great Patriotic War never lose its relevance. However, in order to interest the younger generation, filmmakers and screenwriters are trying to give the films shot on these subjects more intrigue. One of these pictures is the film "It is ordered to destroy! Operation: "Chinese box". Filmed in a detective genre, this picture tells of an imminent attempt on the part of the German special services to "leader of the peoples" IV Stalin. According to some versions, the script was based on materials from secret archives of Soviet intelligence services. Although it's hard to believe.

"Chinese box" - an operation to destroy Stalin

The plot develops in 1944. At the beginning of the film, Hitler, whose role is played by Valery Zolotukhin, in a desperate situation, confronts the German secret services with the impossible task of destroying Stalin (Gennady Khazanov). Naturally, to fulfill this supertask, the Germans need agents who have been specially trained in the sabotage school of murder agents, in which Soviet prisoners of war are used as living material for training. One of the German officer-instructors offers prisoners to take part in gladiatorial battles with their relatives. The only one who manages to survive is Peter Tavrin (Konstantin Lavronenko) - a fluent Russian soldier. At the same time, news of the planned operation of the "Chinese box" comes to the attention of Soviet intelligence services. The Russians in turn create a counter-intelligence group Smersh, consisting of one experienced and two young scouts. However, despite their inexperience, they still manage to uncover the criminal network. But they still have to find the future murderer of Stalin and neutralize him. At some point, Russian intelligence officers realize that someone among them is a mole. But who exactly? Is the operation "Chinese box" will not be disclosed?

The cast of the movie "Chinese Casket"

The choice of actors largely depends on the success of any feature film. In this case, among the cast members there are both big names (Gennady Khazanov, Mikhail Efremov, Andrei Smolyakov, Renata Litvinova, Sergei Batalov, Valery Zolotukhin and others), younger stars (Taras Babich, Cyril Pletnev, Ivan Stebunov, Ilya Sokolvsky and others .), And actors, unfamiliar to the public, who nevertheless were able to create their own images masterfully, making them interesting and memorable for the audience.

"Chinese box" - the real operation

Since everything that was hidden behind the walls of the KGB will never be fully accessible to the public, there is no official information on the assassination of the Leader of the Peoples of Stalin by the German secret services, only assumptions. However, after analyzing the situation that was created in 1944, it can be assumed that the killing of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet troops is the only sure way out of this situation for fascist Germany. In view of this, there is every reason to assume that this operation, which was called the "Chinese box", was in fact though not completed, but started by the German intelligence group.
