Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Local Skirmish is a 2017 film from Russia directed by Aleksey Kozlov.World War II, December 31, 1943. A quartermaster squad of five Russian soldiers, trailing the front line by 20km or so, march into a tiny, mostly abandoned village on the road to Pskov. The soldiers are: Pvt. Stryapukhin, a cheerful, boisterous type; Tyrymov, who suffered brain damage from wounds earlier in the war and probably shouldn't still be in the army; Voskoboinkov, The Big Guy; and Sgt. Mokhov, considerably older than the others with two grown children back home. The four men are veterans of 2 1/2 years of savage war. They are led by a lieutenant named Alexei, who apparently is fresh out of officer training, has been with them only three days, and looks like he should be in high school somewhere.They are met by a farmer named Schulkin, who greets them cheerfully and tells them that the village isn't in a strategic location and he hasn't seen one German the whole war, despite having been behind enemy lines until very recently. Schulkin is accompanied by his niece Nastonya, a voluptuous blonde who attracts the attentions of all the men but especially Stryapukhin. Alexei, a by-the-book type who is trying to assert authority over the men despite having no combat experience, insists that they refrain from drinking and set a proper watch. But it's New Year's and they're well behind the front line, so the men ignore him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Much vodka is consumed until the whole group celebrates the new year at midnight. Stryapukhin succeeds in taking Nastonya into the sauna room for sex, while the rest sleep off the booze in the farmer's house. As it turns out, Alexei should have listened to his better instincts and kept a watch, because early on the morning of New Years' Day a platoon of some 20 SS men arrive at the village. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Four of the five soldiers are killed, as is the farmer. But Alexei survives and is reunited with Masha, and by annihilating the German demolition squad the Russians managed to save the bridge for use by the Red Army. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: The film ends with an ironic chyron saying that on Jan. 1, 1944, the Red Army liberated 28 towns and villages from the Germans, and elsewhere the front was quiet, and "Only local skirmishes were registered." | |
