Heroes of Shipka was the first solo effort for Soviet director Sergei Vasilyev, who had previously collaborated with his late brother Georgi. The film is set in 1887 during the pivotal battle between the Russians and the Turks at the Shipka Pass. Stressing the solidarity of the Soviet states, tribute is paid to the courageous Bulgarian volunteers who helped the Russians fend off their mutual enemy.
Directed by Sergey Vasilev. Starring Ivan Pereverzev, Viktor Avdyushko, Georgiy Yumatov, Konstantin Sorokin and Apostol Karamitev.
