Russian lit with war theme adapted to the screen

[Giuliano Vivaldi]

Vasily Bykov has been widely adapted to film but most notably by Larisa Sheptiko in her Восхождение (1976) from his tale Сотников and most recently by Sergei Loznitsa in his В тумане (2012)
 from a tale with the same title. These films can be directly compared 
as having a very different take on the question of betrayal and one 
could bring in German's Прове́рка на доро́гах (1971, released 1985) based on his father Yuri German's tale Операция „С Новым годом to
 which Shepitko's film was very much a reply. They would be a great trio
 of films to look at together all of them having literary sources.

> Dear Colleagues,
> For a potential film series we're looking for films that are adapted from works of Russian literature in which war plays some non-trivial role - in the plot, as a theme, anything.
> We're looking to dig deep and it doesn't matter where they were produced or whether they're currently available in English (or in Russian).
> Thanks in advance!
