Neulovimye mstiteli) is a 1967 Soviet action adventure film directed by Edmond Keosayan and made by Mosfilm.[2] It is loosely based on the novel Red Devils by Pavel Blyakhin,[3] already filmed in 1923 under its original name. The film is an example of Ostern, set in Russia during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1923.
