The film featuring Alexander Prohanov, the Russian writer and publicist, is built around the metaphor of a counterattack. The writer uses this metaphor to identify both Russian current geopolitical strategy and the deep metaphysical meaning, the mystical code of the Russian historical algorithm. A counterattack is always a response to an enemy attack, always a defense of one's own territory, culture, faith, and way of life. Russian history is always a counterattack. He who comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword.
