Storm Over Asia

Storm Over Asia Russian , Potomok Chingiskhana, The Heir to Genghis Khan is a 1928 Russian film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin, written by Osip Brik and Ivan Novokshonov, and starring Valry Inkijinoff. It is the final film in Pudovkins revolutionary trilogy, alongside Mother 1926 and The End of St. Petersburg 1927.

Unlike October 1917 or The Battleship Potemkin, which are about revolutions in European Russia, Storm Over Asia concerns itself with the British occupation of Southeastern Siberia and Northern Tibet. The British and the French had supported Russia on a massive scale with war materials. After the treaty, it looked like much of that material would fall into the hands of the Germans. Under this pretext began Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War with the United Kingdom and France sending troops into Russian ports. There were violent confrontations with troops loyal to the Bolsheviks.
