• The film was originally scheduled to be shot in Western Belarus in 2022. The start of filming was postponed until the summer of 2023. Shooting took place in Moscow, Kaliningrad, Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region, Karelia, Rostov-on-Don, and concluded in the autumn of that same year. For the most part, the process took place in actual forests, fields, rivers, and lakes. Sets were built for some scenes: a farmstead, a crossing, an airfield, and an air corps headquarters.
• Project development began in 2018 under the title "Moment of Truth." Initially, Oleg Pogodin was planned as the director, followed by Alexei Andrianov, with Nikolai Lyrchikov as the screenwriter.
• The film is based on Vladimir Bogomolov's novel "Moment of Truth."
• The scenes in Lida were filmed at the Shushary railway station, supplemented by sets.
• The runtime of the final version is 157 minutes.
