The Battle of Moscow (Russian: Битва за Москву, Bitva za Moskvu) is a 1985 Soviet two-part war film, presenting a dramatized account of the Battle of Moscow during the Second World War, and the events preceding it. The two films were a Soviet–East German–Czechoslovak–Vietnamese co-production, directed and written by Yuri Ozerov.[1] It was made in time for the 40th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of the Victory Day holiday and Moscow's declaration as a Hero City.
