Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })''Seventeen Moments of Spring'' (Russian: Семнадцать мгновений весны, Semnadtsat' mgnovenij vesny), also Seventeen Instants of Spring, is a 1973 Soviet TV miniseries directed by Tatyana Lioznova and based on the book of the same name by the novelist Yulian Semyonov. The series consists of 12 episodes of 70 minutes each.The series depicts the life of a Soviet spy Maxim Isaev, who is operating in Nazi Germany under the name Max Otto von Stirlitz (sometimes transcribed as "Stierlitz"), played by the Soviet actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov. Other leading roles were played by Leonid Bronevoy, Oleg Tabakov, Yuri Vizbor, Yevgeniy Yevstigneyev, Rostislav Plyatt, Vasily Lanovoy and Mikhail Zharkovsky. The series is set in 1945, with the war lurching to a conclusion. Isaev/Stirlitz has been a Nazi Party member since 1933 and has risen to a high rank as an SS intelligence officer, while all the time spying for Moscow. He receives a coded message saying that Soviet intelligence has heard rumors that someone in Germany has approached the Western Allies with hopes of making a separate peace. Moscow directs Stirlitz to find out who is doing it. Meanwhile, SS intelligence chief Ernst Kaltenbrunner has grown suspicious of Stirlitz, and orders Gestapo boss Heinrich Muller to investigate him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This series had openly disobeyed the Soviet cinema rule of depicting the Nazis as monsters. Walther Schellenberg, Müller and Bormann were performed by the popular and charismatic actors Oleg Tabakov, Leonid Bronevoy and Yuri Visbor (who managed to lend a touch of charm to their roles while leaving the audience with no illusions as to the morality of their characters), and Nazi bosses in general were shown as being very much alike the Soviet bosses of the time. And the protagonist, Stirlitz, looked like a Soviet intellectual who had to hide his true self under the mask of obedience, loyalty and "proper ideological orientation". Stirlitz's awesome ability to outwit his bosses and keep "the human face" at the same time (despite the fact that one could hardly make a career in SS from 1939 till 1945 without staining his hands) was praised by the Soviet audience, who felt as though they were being spied on in their own country.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Due to this, the series became a Fountain of Memes and the source of many anecdotes and jokes—see Russian Humor for examples of these, as well as the page quote. The series has something of a "Weird Al" Effect in Russia today, as far more people are familiar with the jokes than the original TV show. It is sometimes described in the West as "Russian James Bond", which is true only in the sense that Stirlitz is seen as the quintessential super-spy in Russia in much the same way Bond is in the West - otherwise, the austere Stirlitz has very little in common with the rather more flamboyant Bond* James Bond..There is also a prequel series, set in the Red October era. Avoid it. | |

Blonde Republican Sex Kitten: Blonde Nazi Sex Kitten, in the person of Barbara. Barbara is blonde-haired and very attractive and a hard-core true believer Nazi. She is not at all thrilled to have Kat the Soviet agent stashed in her home, even if Kat has (supposedly) agreed to turn her coat and work for the Germans. She also casts bedroom eyes at Stirlitz while holding her mild-mannered partner Helmut in contempt. | |

Guile Hero: Stirlitz only directly kills a single person in the entire series. It's not that he's afraid of fighting - he's a trained Center officer, after all - but he knows his mission is to gather intelligence and that, if he had to start gunning down mooks, he'd have failed. | |

Captain Obvious | |
| Seventeen Moments of Spring / int_3eee0728 | comment |
Captain Obvious: No doubt the Russian Humor meme associated with this series is associated with the narration, which sometimes explicates the thuddingly obvious. The scene where Stirlitz is first shown decoding a message from a Numbers Station could have been staged without dialogue, but no, there's the voice of the narrator telling the viewer that Stirlitz is decoding a message. Another example can be found in Episode 5 when Stirlitz sees the briefcase that holds the radio transmitter. A scene that didn't require any dialogue instead has the ever-present voice of the narrator telling the viewer that yes, Stirlitz recognized the suitcase. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Stirlitz's work has exposed and short-circuited Himmler's plot to make a separate peace with the West. The Russians will destroy Nazi Germany, but at a terrible cost. Kat is a widow, but she escapes with not one but two babies in tow. Pastor Schlagg is told by Stirlitz that his family is safe and he can find them after it's all over and he leaves Switzerland. The fate of Stirlitz himself is not resolved (see And the Adventure Continues above). | |

Agent Provocateur: Klaus, a German agent who pretends to be a concentration camp escapee in order to ferret out people who are disloyal to the regime. Holthoff accuses Stirlitz of sabotaging the German nuclear effort by throwing suspicion on Runge the physicist, then suggests to Stirlitz that the three of them-Holthoff, Stirlitz, and Runge—escape to Switzerland together. It's a charade, a trap set up by Mueller. Stirlitz doesn't fall for it, whacking Holthoff over the head with a wine bottle and taking him to Gestapo HQ in handcuffs. | |

So much so that the actor who portrayed Schellenberg got letters from his character's surviving relations thanking him for the dignified and affable portrayal. According to Schellenberg's niece Tabakov also looked quite a bit like the real "uncle Walter" | |

And the Adventure Continues: The series, while showing film clips of the Russian victory in Berlin, the Red Square victory parade, and the Nuremberg trials, makes a point of not revealing what happens to Stirlitz. The last scene has Stirlitz stopping his car on the way back to Berlin, stepping outside, and taking a moment to contemplate. The narration informs the viewer that with six weeks left in the war, Stirlitz is going back to Berlin, and back to work. Конец. | |

George Lucas Altered Version | |
| Seventeen Moments of Spring / int_76cbbc0b | comment |
George Lucas Altered Version: The TV series was later colorized, re-edited and re-released. This caused considerable content among the viewers. Criticism is mostly comes down to colorization being very, very poorly done and edits cutting out key moments for current political reasons or for seemingly no reason at all. And the simple fact that it used to be in black and white. On the other hand, colorising an entire mini-series was a tremendous job. A lot of details lost in the original version due to film limitations were re-added. And the result looks indistinguishable from proper colored films. | |

Hey, Wait!: Kat, who escaped with Helmut's help but is left alone after he's shot by the Gestapo, finds a phone booth. She is trying to place a call to Stirlitz when a policeman knocks on the window. She exits the phone booth, a look of mortal terror on her face, only for the policeman to tell her that the phone booth is out of order. And in the last episode she is once again terrified, when the border checkpoint receives a phone call while the border guard is checking her fake papers. It's the border guard's wife wanting to know when he will come home. | |

The Needs of the Many: After getting Kat from the clutches of the Gestapo and spiriting her to SS headquarters, Stirlitz thinks about how he could have taken her to safety. But that would have meant the end of his mission as well, and would have jeopardized the Russian war effort and the fate of Europe, so he didn't. | |

The Soviet Culture Police insisted on the newsreel-like inserts, because they wanted to avoid the impression that Stirlitz alone won the war. | |

Broken Base | |
| Seventeen Moments of Spring / int_d08577eb | comment |
This caused considerable content among the viewers. Criticism is mostly comes down to colorization being very, very poorly done and edits cutting out key moments for current political reasons or for seemingly no reason at all. And the simple fact that it used to be in black and white. On the other hand, colorising an entire mini-series was a tremendous job. A lot of details lost in the original version due to film limitations were re-added. And the result looks indistinguishable from proper colored films. | |

Spotting the Thread: Kat, one of Stirlitz's radio operators, is heavily pregnant. Stirlitz is concerned, saying that when she's in labor she might be in too much pain to maintain her cover identity. Sure enough, when Kat's giving birth she starts calling for her mother in Russian. The nurses call the Gestapo. | |

Talent Double: When Stirlitz is drawing. Tikhonov was actually quite capable of drawing himself, it's just that with a close-up of his hands, no Suspension of Disbelief could have made one believe a person with a tattoo in Russian on his hand could pass for a German officer for so long. | |
