The Turkish Gambit is a 2005 Russian film, and the movie adaptation of the novel with the same name.The movie takes place during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-8). After the tragedy that struck him at the end of the first novel, The Winter Queen, Erast Fandorin decides to enroll as a Serbian volunteer and fight in the war. However he is captured by the Turks. While attempting to escape he finds out that a renowned Turkish spy, Anwar Effendi, is about to infiltrate the Russian army and to sabotage their operations while the Turkish army invades a strategically important town of Pleven, Bulgaria, thus surrounding the Russian army. Fandorin sets his way to the Russian camp at the outskirts of Pleven.Meanwhile, a young woman, Varvara Suvorova, attempts to get to the same camp as well, hoping to reunite with her fiancé Pyotr Yablokov. Her travel is however compromised when her guide abandons her in a dingy inn and runs off with all of her belongings. Thankfully, Fandorin happens to be there and helps her out. After running away from a troop of bashi-bazouks, they are rescued by the Russian army. After Varvara reunites with Pyotr and Fandorin is recognized by the General Mizinov and delivers the information, he is trusted to figure out who, among soldiers and journalists present at the Russian camp, is Anvar. Shortly after his arrival, the Russians mysteriously start losing battle after battle... | |

Kick the Dog | |
| The Turkish Gambit / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Upon recovering the body of assassinated Zurov Varvara starts to sob quetly about his fate only to get rudely and unnecessarily reproached by one of the present men that she is being a hindrance to their work and should better get away with her hysterics. For all the times when she is a hindrance this one time she is clearly not, what with all the fuss and loud mentalk around. | |

| The Turkish Gambit / int_5a36f8bc | comment |
Not His Sled: The character revealed as Anvar in the movie is different from the one from the book. Those who had read it might be tipped off by the duel where Lukan is killed, since his opponent is Anvar in both cases. | |

Bilingual Dialogue | |
| The Turkish Gambit / int_8a800d36 | comment |
Bilingual Dialogue: All dialogues where D'Hevrais takes part. He only speaks French, but everyone understands him (justified by the fact that French was a common second (if not to say first) language among Russian nobility at the time), and D'Hevrais himself understands Russian. | |

| The Turkish Gambit / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Apart from the fact that he is not a master politician and spy pulling the strings from behind the scenes, even as a journalist d'Hevrais is much less impressive than in the book, where he is able to write a brilliant article about anything, even his own old boots. Here, he barely does anything to distinguish himself from other journalists. | |
