Bumbarash (Russian: Бумбараш, romanized: Bumbarash) is a 1971 Soviet adventure film, a musical comedy in two episodes loosely based on some early works and the novel Bumbarash by Arkady Gaidar.
During the Russian Civil War, former Imperial Russian Army Private Bumbarash, formerly a prisoner of war in Austria,[1] is returning to his home village, where all, including his beloved girlfriend, believe he is dead. Control of the village periodically changes between the Whites, Reds and "bandits". Bumbarash tries to survive in this chaos and to return to his love.
