ANCHOR IN THE STEPPE

In Don steppe near the Mius river, on a high mound from afar a huge anchor sparkling in the sun is visible. Why did it appear here, away from the sea?
Locals are well aware of the history of the steppe anchor. Precisely here was located the “Mius Front” line, near the Matveev Kurgan village, which was an unknown page of WW2 history.
This film is about the feat of the Soviet sailors who died during the storm of the “Mius Front” in March 1942, and people who keep a memory of them.
