Well, i'm a Russian, and i'm from Moscow, Russia. I was born in USSR, 36 years ago.
If you want to watch/listen to Russian "Bylina", then it's your choice. We, the Russians, remember his (Kolovrat's) Choice, his Heroic Deed (podvig).
BUT. But this movie does't have anything to do with historical events (as we do know 'em). It's some sample of "hollywood" "action", brought to the Russian reality.
My post is not about his deed, his self-sacrifice, but about historical reality. He did, what he did. Many of us would do the same nowadays.
We just don't stand any lies, any interference in our lives. We don't like when anyone downplays our enemies. We don't like, when anyone displays our Heroes as comics characters (some stupid idiots like spiderman, whatsoever you may think).
The problem of this movie is that it has too much pathos and it's doesn't have anything with, well, "historical reality".
If you want to watch some (at least) good historical movies, then watch old "I na kamnyakh rastut derevya", or "Pathfinder"(1987!!! not that recent crap!).
