The 9th Company (9 рота) is a 2005 Russian war film directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk, dramatising the experiences of Soviet conscripts during the war in Afghanistan. It became one of the highest-grossing Russian films of its time and is widely quoted in Russian-speaking internet culture. Short spoken excerpts such as monologues circulate on soundboards and meme pages, where users upload alternate takes and edits, which the 'insha' tag in this upload's title suggests. The clip endures because its grave, soldierly tone fits tribute videos, gaming montages and dramatic edits.
