To understand "The Scythian," one must understand their warfare. They did not fight for territory in the traditional sense; they fought for survival and dominance. Their empire was defined not by borders, but by movement.
Don’t let the generic English title fool you. This isn’t a documentary about ancient nomads, nor is it a glossy Game of Thrones clone. It is a lean, mean, 90-minute revenge road movie that feels like Conan the Barbarian directed by Andrei Tarkovsky after a three-day vodka binge.
But who, exactly, was a Scythian? Was he merely a barbarian on a pony, or something far more complex? From the pen of the Greek historian Herodotus to the frozen burial mounds of the Altai Mountains, the evidence paints a picture of a people so sophisticated in their savagery that even the mighty Persian Empire paid them tribute.

Though the last pure Scythian died nearly 2,000 years ago, their blood runs through the veins of the Alans, the Ossetians (who still speak an Iranian language and call their national epic the Nart cycle), and indirectly, the great nomadic hordes that followed: the Huns, the Avars, and the Mongols.
You cannot look at a Scythian gold plaque without feeling the tension. They depicted animals not at rest, but in the moment of violent struggle: a panther curling into an O-shape to bite a horse’s muzzle, an eagle ripping a rabbit, a stag lying limp with its legs folded beneath it.
