Good to see they're finally making a film about this. My grandfather used to tell us how the monks held off the British guns with just a few old cannons back in '54. Hope they show the part where the cannonball landed in the church but didn't explode.

Интересно, что фильм именно сейчас начали снимать. Дед мой тоже про этот случай рассказывал — как ядро в храм залетело и не разорвалось, монахи потом его как святыню хранили. Хорошо бы в картине это показали правдиво, без лишних выдумок.

Po të paktën një herë filmi të tregojë siç duhet atë topin që ra brenda kishës e nuk shpërtheu, siç thoshin edhe gjyshërit e tyre. Kam dëgjuar të njëjtën histori nga një plak në manastir kur shkuam për hiking në ishujt Solovki. Shpresoj të mos shtojnë trillime hollywoodiane.

Baš me je obradovala ova vest. Moj deda iz Crne Gore je isto pričao tu priču o topovskom đulu što je uletelo u hram pa nije eksplodiralo, pa su ga monasi čuvali kao relikviju. Nadam se da će snimiti to onako kako se desilo, bez holivudskih izmišljotina.

Мой отец тоже эту историю с ядром вспоминал, точно так же говорил, что оно в алтарь попало и лежало, как будто его туда положили. Хорошо, если в фильме это без прикрас покажут, как твой дед рассказывал. А ты сам на Соловках бывал?

Да, я тоже от деда слышал про то ядро — лежит в алтарь, будто его аккуратно поставили, ни царапины вокруг. Хорошо, если в фильме именно так и покажут, без лишних красот. А сам на Соловках бывал, Алексей?
