What secrets was the famous cinema myth by Olexander Dovzhenko "Schors" called to hide?
Why did they so insistently represent the murder of the legendary hero of the civil war as a tragic death on a battlefield? Who and why passed the order to secretly bury the "Ukrainian Chapaev", and half a century afterwards classified results of a forensic examination of his remains as secret ones?

The film from the documentary series "Cinema Myths of History" – " Bloody Trace Trails" – answers these and other complicated questions. (2 parts).
