Spring 1917. The February Revolution changed the life of Russia and the course of the First World War. The Tsar had already abdicated. In the trenches, where the confrontation with the Germans had been going on for years, the Bolsheviks were conducting propaganda with all their might. They were calling for peace with the enemy. The Russian officer corps could not decide anything without the approval of the so-called soldiers' committees. The army was on the verge of final disintegration. By order of the Provisional Government, a women's Death Battalion was created under the command of St. George's Cavalier Maria Bochkareva to raise morale. With its service, the Death Battalion sets an example of bravery, courage and calm, raises the spirit of the soldiers and proves that each of these female heroes is worthy of the title of warrior of the Russian army.
