According to historians, returning after a battle in the liberation of Pskov Alexander Nevsky appealed not to the captives, and to the very Pskovians. Translated from the Old Slavonic his words sounded like this: "Oh, pskovityane! If you forget Alexander if my most distant descendants will not find you a true haven in their affliction: you will be an example of ingratitude. " Agree, the meaning is not the same.

The genius of the music for this film was written by Sergei Prokofiev. Audio series "Alexander Nevsky" consists of symphonic and choral music, which was later integrated into the self-cantata. However, he was released with the film poorly recorded audio track.

The fact that Stalin saw the movie with the "rough" sound and immediately adopted it to the show. Then Eisenstein already afraid to make changes. But does it matter?
