why was it voted "...BEST fiction FILM.." when most (if not all) characters are based on real 9-ya rota. It says soin the documentary that was on DVD.

That's my best translation of "igrovii film" - from Russian newsite where I found the article. Yes, film was based on true story, but was still depicted with actors doing dramatic interpretation of story. Inimi slovami - film was drama, NOT a realism documentary using actual participants.
