Nikolai Alexandrovich Shchors (1895-1919) - one of the folk heroes (in the literal sense) of the Civil War on the side of the Reds. Almost all of them either died on the fields of war, like Vasily Chapaev, or were eliminated during the command of the Bolshevik leadership, since for various reasons they interfered with (death was often written off to enemies - this was the shot and Schors himself), or they were soon eliminated soon After the civilian - how Philip Mironov and Grigory Kotovsky shot. Rare characters survived until 1937, like Blucher.

Nikolai Shchors, a military paramedic, ended the First World War with the rank of lieutenant. The October Revolution did not support. Nevertheless, in 1918 he was listed in the Levoyer Kursk Regiment. After the elimination of the left Socialist Revolutionaries, he turned to the Bolsheviks (the motives put forward different ones, including love for the Chekist Frum Khaikina, who, after the death of Shchors, gave birth to his daughter Valentina). He organized in Ukraine a red partisan detachment against the Germans, which grew up to the 1st Ukrainian Soviet Regiment. Comrade Ivan Bogun (Ivan Bogun - associate of Bogdan Khmelnitsky), and then to the division. He showed himself a talented commander. At the same time, he was in an extremely bad relationship with the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic (i.e. with the Kremlin), was accused of "partisanism". On August 30, 1919, during the command of the battle with the Petliurists, he was shot from behind from the revolver to the head, presumably, Chekist Pavel Tankhil-Tanhilevich (according to Medexpertiza during the exhumation of the body in 1949-from a distance of 10-15 meters). He was crossed out of the official history of the Civil War. It was returned to it in the mid-1930s as an example of the "Sovietization of Ukraine from below." In 1935, Alexander Dovzhenko received an order from Stalin for the film "Shchors", in 1939 the film was completed. The film consultant, the deputy chief of the Shchors division Ivan Dubova, who died in front of which Shchors died, did not wait for the film’s release - he was repressed in 1937. There are no scenes of the death of Shchors in the film.
