He did make use of Mongol shamans, some said he was a Buddhist, others a Christian. Whatever the truth, he certainly had an interest in a range of religious beliefs but when he was executed he gave his religion as Lutheran -the Church he was raised in back in Estonia. The implied shooting of the woman fortune-teller would never have happened.<br /><br />That aside, it should be noted that Sukhbator, Choibalsan, Semyonov and the Baron were all real people in history and the use of armored trains with mounted canon was also true, they were the "tanks" of the Russian Civil War in the far east.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-63548713170129236072011-01-25T18:46:14.486-06:002011-01-25T18:46:14.486-06:00An excellent movie, thank you for sharing it.

And it is rather coincidental that the plot involves exiled Russian duchesses and money, because I have recently watched the film (a comedy) called "Ninothcka", where the plot centers around Bolsheviks trying to get legal possession of the jewels of a grand-duchess.Aurelien Nicotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-64478740539545791462011-01-25T14:10:04.615-06:002011-01-25T14:10:04.615-06:00Welcome,
