Stanislav Govorukhin, the independent Duma deputy and acclaimed Russian filmmaker, delivers a gritty post-Soviet revenge tale in *Voroshilovsky Strelok* (The Voroshilov Sharpshooter, 1999). It kicks off with a gang of thugs luring a naive teenage girl back to their place, spiking her drink, terrorizing her, and subjecting her to a brutal gang rape. When she turns to the local militia for justice, they're stonewalled by the top brass—the police chief happens to be the father of one of the perpetrators. The investigation fizzles out, case closed. Fed up with the corruption and red tape, the girl's grandfather, a WWII veteran hardened by decades of grit, grabs his old rifle and sets out to deliver his own brand of frontier justice, picking off the scum one by one. Starring Mikhail Ulyanov as the steely grandpa, this raw thriller captures the rage of everyday Russians against a broken system, blending tense action with unflinching social commentary. A cult classic that still packs a punch.
