On a scale of 1-10, how accurate do you believe the charge scene from "Enemy at the Gates" is?

They’re pretty much doing the same thing today in Ukraine.

It is very accurate. It has been thoroughly documented that many times Russians soldiers were sent out without guns and told to find a gun from another dead Russian.

That is factually incorrect. Apart from conscripted civilian brigades and penal batallions, Soviet soldiers didn't suffer from a lack of small arms or ammunition. What they lacked was fire support in the form of artillery pieces, tanks and aeroplanes.
The accurate parts of this scene are the lack of direction from officers and the NKVD blocking divisions. Other than that, this scene and this movie is laughable from a historical perspective.
