Blood Type (Russian: Группа крови, romanized: Gruppa krovi, lit. 'Blood Type') is a 2025 Russian war drama film directed by Maksim Brius about the tragic fate of children in Nazi concentration camps in the Leningrad region in 1943, where orphans were not only subjected to hunger and grueling labor but were also used as blood donors.[1][2]
This film was theatrically released in Russia on May 8, 2025, by Central Partnership.[3]
The film takes place in November 1943. The Nazis brought another batch of Soviet orphans to the Vyritsa orphanage, where cold, hunger, and forced labor reign. The Nazis use the children as blood donors for wounded German soldiers. Nevertheless, the children find the strength to resist.[4]
