8	''Admiral'' (Адмиралъ) is a 2008 historical film by AndreiKravchuk.

10	It is a {{Biopic}} of Russian Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak who remained faithful to his oath to the Tsar UsefulNotes/NicholasII and fought against the Bolshevik rule after the [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober 1917 October Revolution]].
11	----
12	!!Tropes:
13	* CampUnsafeIsntSafeAnymore: Admiral Kolchak's family is hiding from revolutionaries in a small house in Crimea, which they consider safe until the only loyal seaman comes with warnings that the revolutionary seamen are coming for them. It's [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober Russia, the year is 1917]], and it's a place close to a naval base to boot (Navy seamen were among the most hardcore revolutionaries), so it was naive to think it's possible to hide in this place.

17	* EiffelTowerEffect: The tower is visible from the window of the Parisian room where Kolchak's estranged wife works as a seamstress.
18	%%* FaceDeathWithDignity: Kolchak.
19	* ForegoneConclusion: source of a MemeticMutation in the Russian internets. Allegedly, some clueless girl wrote her impressions from the movie in her blog: "For the entirety of the movie I had a feeling that Kolchak will be shot. It turned out to happen exactly this way." That last phrase became synonymous with ForegoneConclusion.

29	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: A small one. A White platoon charges screaming at a Bolshevik position after [[https://youtu.be/BWPbLTSD01o?t=285 a nun is accidentally killed]] by a machine gunner.
30	* RousingSpeech: When Kolchak announces his intention to restore the Russian monarchy, the entire audience fall to their knees.
