In 1904 Russia is shocked by a series of cruel and cold-blooded
murders. Prominent government and military officials fell victim
to terrorists. Neither their high position, nor their security helped
them escape from bold criminals. Confident of their infallibility
and impunity, the terrorists started hunting the members of the
royal family.
The film is based on a novel “The Pale Horse” by B. Savinkov
(pen name V. Ropshin), a Russian political figure of the
beginning of the 20th century, who organized and took an active
part in the series of terror acts that convulsed Russia in early
1900’s. He was arrested in 1906 and was condemned to death,
but managed to escape from custody abroad. Since then Savinkov
performed subversive activities against Soviets till 1924, when he
was seized and imprisoned by Soviet government, where,
according to the official version, committed suicide in jail.
