Mostly funded by state-run First Channel television, 'Admiral' is the latest in a series of historical epics which resurrect pre-revolutionary Russian heroes who battle bravely against impossible odds, dogged by foreign villains.
Audiences have already been treated to '1612' showing Polish troops thrown back from Moscow and 'Alexander: The Battle on the Neva' where the hero fights off marauding Swedes; a new look at Ivan the Terrible is promised.
Echoing the anti-foreigner theme, 'Admiral' opens with Kolchak commanding an imperial Russian warship in the Baltic as it lures a German enemy vessel to destruction in a minefield. It closes with Kolchak betrayed to the Reds by a French general who was supposed to be his ally.
The film is not the first attempt at rehabilitating Kolchak. After the fall of the Soviet Union, at least two statues were erected to the admiral and an island named after him, though attempts to pardon him in court have not yet succeeded.
A 'Civic Movement For The Legacy Of Admiral Kolchak' tried in August to gain him posthumous membership of the prestigious Academy of Science for his early career as a polar explorer, with backing from an influential ruling party deputy.

Oren Shur, the spokesman for Jay Nixon, the Democratic candidate for governor and current attorney general, said Hulshof's announcement is a character attack from a congressman who is down in the polls and is starting to panic.
Hulshof criticized Nixon's role in 1998 settlements with the tobacco industry and said the current attorney general hired lawyers for the lawsuit who made $3,000 an hour.
Shur said the Democratic candidate for governor forced the tobacco industry to pay the attorney fees in the 1998 settlement.
'He took on big tobacco and won billions of dollars for the taxpayers of Missouri at no cost to taxpayers,' Shur said.
Hulshof said he received outsource contracts from the attorney general, but that his in-court fees were only $100 an hour.
'I provided the documentation, even though there was no requirement,' he said. 'I made sure that every hour of work was justified.'
Zac Wright, Missouri Democratic Party spokesman, stated in a news release that trusting Hulshof to make state government more accountable would be ludicrous.
