	Grigori Chukhrai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grigori Naumovich Chukhrai (Russian: Григорий Наумович Чухрай; May 23, 1921--October 28, 2001) was a prominent film director and screenwriter in the former Soviet Union.
		Chukhrai's next film, released in 1961, was titled Chistoye nebo (Clear Skies) and told the story of a Soviet pilot who survived Nazi imprisonment during the war but was later accused of being a spy.
		Grigori Chukhrai died of heart failure in Moscow in 2001 at the age of eighty.

	Balada O Soldate
		Chukhrai, Grigori, "Keeping the Old on Their Toes," in Films and Filming (London), October 1962.
		Authority figures may be revered, but Chukhrai does show a venal sentry extorting a bribe of canned beef to let Alyosha on the train (though he's later exposed and punished by a kindly officer).
		Chukhrai shows skill with actors, extracting in particular a moving performance from Evgeni Urbanski as the one-legged soldier who considers losing himself in Russia's vastness in preference to returning home a cripple.

	ballad of a soldier
		Director Grigori Chukhrai, a veteran who was wounded while fighting on the front lines, idealizes his characters rather than depicting them realistically because they are not meant to be what people really are but rather what people should be – what they might eventually become if they allowed themselves to be governed solely by love.
		Chukhrai's allegory may be nonrealistic, but the message it conveys is totally real and totally true.
		Chukhrai's exaltation of love and condemnation of war would have less force if BALLAD OF A SOLDIER were not also brilliant in its cinematic technique.

	Grigori Chukhrai Biography :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One of the first post-war Soviet filmmakers to gain international prominence, Grigory Chukhrai is perhaps best recalled for what are arguably his two masterpeices, "Ballad of a Soldier" (1959), for which he earned numerous accolades, and "Clear Skies/The Clear Sky" (1961), which served as a metaphor for life under the repressive regime of Josef Stalin.
		Chukhrai was born in Melitopol in the Ukraine, but shortly after his birth his parents divorced.
		Chukhrai took a more overt political stance in his follow-up, "Chistoye nebo/The Clear Sky/Clear Skies" (1961), another tale of war that revolved around a pilot who loses his place in society when he becomes a prisoner of war.

	Ballad of a Soldier Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		One of the few Soviet films to reach an international audience in the early '60s, Grigori Chukhrai's Ballad of a Soldier is a war movie that leaves the war far behind.
		The final segment with Chukhrai is the best, not because anything of merit is discussed, but because the two men get off on the wrong foot and the interview never quite recovers.
		As part of a new generation of Soviet filmmakers, Chukhrai was actively working to avoid the kind of grand proclamations the State (and film critics) prefer.

	DVD Verdict Review - Ballad Of A Soldier: Criterion Collection
		Grigori Chukhrai's tender, touching masterpiece is, at first glance, deceptively simple: a young man, a young woman, his mother, and the human toll of war.
		For the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution, artists in the late 1950s and early 1960s were permitted to open the tiniest slit in the Iron Curtain and share their visions with the Western world.
		Grigori Chukhrai was the rare Soviet director who shrugged off, at least in large measure, the state-sponsored mantle of art as propaganda and told simple, human stories unencumbered by the weight of Party politics.

	TIME.com: Love in Stalin's Russia -- Dec. 6, 1963 -- Page 1
		Director Grigori Chukhrai, who proved his talent with the sensitive, romanticized Ballad of a Soldier, tells a tale of illicit love—and tells it straight, without prudish apologies, against a background of post-World War II political tyranny.
		Chukhrai's plucky heroine, Sasha (Nina Drobysheva), left alone during the war, all but flings herself into the arms of a heroic airman, Aleksei (Evgeni Urbanski, the brooding amputee of Ballad).
		Women at a railway station, waiting for the merest glimpse of their menfolk, watch a troop train roar through at top speed, leaving behind an acre or so of stunned faces that say all there is to say about war's anguish at home.

		Set against the backdrop of the stunning Black Sea cliffs, Chukhrai experiments with the manifestations of both political and personal psychosis through the filters of action, politics, sex, illness, murder, pregnancy, and most importantly: driving.
		Against the current of this intense political atmosphere, Chukhrai's heroes and heroines struggle for a way to put their unhappy memories to rest as a means of finding hope for the future.
		Born in Moscow in 1946, Chukhrai's childhood experiences comprised much of his inspiration for the plot of his 1997 Oscar nominated film The Thief.

	DVD Times - Ballad of a Soldier
		Alyosha's uniform marks him out as a figure of authority and a fount of knowledge (he's asked repeatedly: "when is the war going to end?"), but we know that he's merely a nineteen-year-old boy with virtually no experience of the real world.
		The trailers, appropriately enough, are all for war films: The Cranes Are Flying, Father of the Soldier, Torpedo Bombers and At Dawn It's Quiet Here plus the generic Ruscico trailer, though oddly enough not one for Ballad of a Soldier itself.
		Filmographies cover director Grigori Chukhrai, writer Valentin Yezhov, composer Mikhail Liv, cameraman Vladimir Nikolayev and actors Nikolai Kriutchkov, Antonina Maximova, Yevgeny Urbanskiy, Zhanna Pokhorenko and Vladimir Ivashov, though, disappointingly, none of them contain the buried trailers that can be found on other Ruscico discs.

		Grigory Chukhraj's poetic odyssey of an accidental hero on a six-day pass is a sentimental journey through the ideals of the Soviet state in World War II.
		Vladimir Ivashov is the fresh-faced signalman whose trip from the Russian front to visit his white-haired mother becomes a series of detours as he stops to help the loyal comrades, fellow soldiers, and salt-of-the-earth civilians (as well as a few shirkers and scoundrels) he meets along the way.
