Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Ascent (Восхождение, Voskhozhdeniye) is a 1977 film made in the Soviet Union, directed by Larisa Shepitko.Sotnikov and Rybak are two soldiers with a Red Army partisan unit in Belarus in 1942 during World War II. The partisan unit, which includes women and children, is hiding in the woods, and has run out of food. Sotnikov and Rybak are sent off in search of something to eat. They go to a farm that Sotnikov knows, only to find that it has been burned to the ground and abandoned. Next they find the house of the local village head man, who is a collaborator in cahoots with the Germans. They deprive him of a goat, but on the way back they run into some Germans, and Sotnikov is shot in the leg. The two men take refuge in the home of Demchikha, a young woman with three small children, but tragedy strikes when they are caught by a German patrol.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One of only four feature films made by Shepitko before her death in a car wreck in 1979 at the age of 41. | |

| The Ascent (1977) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: The Nazis hang Sotnikov and the civilians and turn Rybak to their side. Rybak's attempt to kill himself in atonement is unsuccessful and he can't bring himself to run away. | |

Allegory | |
| The Ascent (1977) / int_471c46f8 | comment |
Allegory: By the end, the film has become an allegory of Christ and Judas, with Sotnikov dying a sacrificial death for Russia while Rybak betrays him. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence | |
| The Ascent (1977) / int_bd2812b5 | comment |
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Seemingly alluded to in the case of Sotnikov. There's the obvious Christ symbolism during the scene where he is executed, as well as the title. | |

| The Ascent (1977) / int_c3478f1d | comment |
Badass Bookworm: Sotnikov used to be a math teacher, but later became an artillery officer. While he's hardly a One-Man Army, he refuses to crack under torture and is the only Russian shown onscreen to kill German soldiers. | |
