The Seventh Bullet

[1] In the same tradition as The White Sun of the Desert and The Bodyguard, The Seventh Bullet is set in the 1920s in Soviet Central Asia, after the end of the Russian Civil War and in the context of a waning Basmachi rebellion.A commander dressed in the white uniform of a Red Army officer arrives at a devastated village, where he encounters a bearded man hurling a grenade, yelling, "I won’t surrender alive!"Hashimov captures a prisoner who shows no fear of death, but the commander surprises everyone by handing the man a loaded pistol and releasing him.Determined to reclaim his "Muslim Red Squad," the commander arms himself with six bullets in his revolver and a seventh hidden under his cap, reserved for Khairulla.Along the way, they meet a neutral shepherd, Ismail, who mistakenly believes Maksumov killed his brother and attempts vengeance, only to be beaten by Khairulla's men.
