Suvorov (Russian: Суворов) is a 1941 Soviet drama movie directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin and Mikhail Doller.[1][2] The movie is based on the life of Russian general Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1729 – 1800), one of the few great generals in history who never lost a battle.

This movie is most notable for its quote by Kyrzchev, "собаки очень плохо пахнут", which roughly translates to "the dogs smell very foul."
