Aunt Anna!
Aunt Anna!
Aunt Anna!
I've come.
Why are you screaming?
Mikolka, what has happened?
She is lying as if she were alive
and does not say a word.
Forgive us, forthe God's sake.
Forgive us, mother!
Do forgive!
She never drank a drop.
But always used to take a bottle.
How she loved me,
Have you sent a telegram to Pasha?
I asked the duty postman
he promised to give a call to the district.
Where is he working?
- He is an actor in a theater.
- In the biggest theater. He is an actor.
Will such a jackass come at all?
He does not have a single coin in his pockets.
He works in the theater and lacks the money.
Will the priest come here?
It is warm. Do not look.
He will not come.
He will not go to such a faraway hole.
Well, if he does not come, let it be so.
We'll take care of the business ourselves.
And you, my Anna, are lying here
and you will miss your pension.
So will we.
For last three months.
- Have we received anything?
- So she won't get it anymore.
She does not need it anymore.
She does not need it.
We'll write to the mayor. They do not have the right.
- How she loved me!
- Well, that's enough.
Who will bury us?
There is only Mikolka left.
Just one man.
They'll find a way, they will.
- We'll bury you in the old women's corner.
- Ok, that's all right.
Well,
every custom has been observed.
Everything is proper.
- She lived a difficult life.
- Do you mean Anna?
- She never complained to us.
...Yes, yes.
Oh, our Lord, oh, the Holy Cross
forgive us.
Oh, our Lord, oh, the Holy Cross
forgive us.
Oh, our Lord, oh, the Holy Cross
forgive us.
Eternal memory.
And the Holy Kingdom to you!
Is this Fedka?
He has not forgotten us!
Fedka is coming!
- Finally!
- Well, comrade...
At ease!
Oh, my dear!
Oh, my sweetie!
Oh, my sweetie!
Fekla! Come on!
Oh, come on, honey!
Ah! Fine!
Moonshine!
- Excuse me, anyway.
- Dear, never mind.
The funeral is so awkward.
But I do not have a single soldier.
And constant checks, checks all the way!
Russia! Mother!
I'm your son!
Oh! A present!
- My grandson!
- What's up?
- Who are you?
- Who am I? Ajerk in the hay!
Who has sent a telegram about
Grandma's death? Or is she alive?
Oh, God forbid! Pashka, is that you?
Pashka!
Fuckashka!
Pashka!
Oh, Lord, how robust
you have become with that food in Moscow!
Why should I refuse?
He sings so well!
Sing, Pasha!
Sing, Pasha!
- It's inappropriate.
- I say, sing.
Sing.
Fedor, but it is inappropriate.
You know, I will not leave you alone
Sing!
That's all.
Did I say that?
I passed the whole thing over intact and whole.
You'd rather visit
the graveyard, jackass.
I'm on my way.
Now what?
Mikola, will you see me off?
- When should I drive you back?
- Tomorrow.
To the Moscow train.
The Moscow one.
Ok, ladies,
do not miss me too much.
See me off!
See me off to the graveyard!
Go! Have you forgotten
where the graveyard is? It remains where it used to be.
He has gone nuts in his Moscow.
Mikola, take him to the graveyard,
he forgot where it is.
He used to be a dumbass, and still remains a dumbass.
Well, this is all the land
that a man needs!
That's all.
A man lives on and suddenly dies.
Mikola, do you remember
we played the Timur scout team in that hut?
You were small at that time.
And we stayed overthere for nights.
Moms were looking for us all overthe village,
and were afraid to go up there. Remember?
Do you visit the place?
No one is looking for me.
Not for me as well.
No one is looking for me.
What a good snack marinated cabbage is!
Looks well on the table
and cheap enough for all the quests.
Are your eggs rotten?
Smell yours!
You've gone nuts!
The hens lay eggs daily.
What a jerk!
Here you are!
- Hot chocolate to him!
- Pour a glass!
Pour, pour!
Pour!
What's up! Pour! That'll do!
Oh, fine!
Fine booze.
Let's remember Anna in our prayers.
She was a kind soul.
Rest in peace.
How she loved me!
Come on, come on. Hot potatoes!
Are you mad?
Who pinned up this asshole?
Which? What's wrong? What's up?
You presented this posterto us long ago.
- You made a present and we pinned it up.
- 10 years ago.
10 years ago I was
in his warm-up team.
What did you warm up for him, eh?
Well, I sang forfirst 10 minutes, and
then he played for an hour and a half.
A star!
And now...
He is my accompanying musician.
A great man! OK!
Let's drink forthe memories.
Yes, Mr. Ginsburg,
life is an iceberg.
Today you are on the top, and tomorrow...
How she loved me...
Anna hated quarrels.
I'll go and enjoy the Russian spacious skies.
Let's go, my friend,
you'll make me a company.
What a problem!
What a problem!
Onions make me dyspeptic,
and I still eat them.
Why so?
Because I love them.
And if I love them, I'll eat them
not giving a damn for heartburns.
The dialectics!
The unity and struggle of the opposites.
You will surely miss my point.
You know too little.
And you are a happy man.
You do not know that life is shit.
That there is no happiness in life.
That a man is born to suffer.
And you'd rather never learn it.
It makes life easier.
I'm 45 and nothing.
No Opera of Milano.
No Bolshoi theater.
And no Maly.
And Ginsburg sits and plays.
Well, in Russia all roads
are open forthe Gintsburg kin
And all shit is saved for me.
And tell me,
what is all this for? What for?
Why should I live? What for?
My life passes away uselessly.
I make a total recall of my past
and ask myself a question.
What did I live for?
What purpose was I born for?
May be it existed.
May be, my destination in life was very high.
Because I feel
immense strength in my soul.
But I've missed this destination.
I've been trapped by my passions,
Vain and empty passions.
I emerged from this melting pot
firm and cold as a piece of iron.
But I seem to have lost
foreverthe fervor of noble aspirations.
The best bloom of my life.
Since that time I played the role
of the axe of destiny many times.
I fell upon the heads
of the condemned ones.
I often did that without any anger.
I always did that without any remorse.
My love
Did not bring any happiness to anyone.
Because I made no sacrifices
forthe sake of the beloved ones.
I loved for myself.
For my own pleasure.
I simply satisfied
strange desires of my heart.
Devouring other people's feelings,
sufferings, joys and caresses.
And never getting fed up with that.
I resembled a hungry man
who took an exhausted nap.
Dreaming of delicious dishes
and sparkling wines.
Swallowing hungrily these
gifts of his imagination,
Feeling better and better
And waking up to nothing,
To the same hunger.
And despair.
May be
I'll die tomorrow.
And there will be not
a single person in the world
who could say they understood me.
Some people think me worse,
Some-betterthan I really am.
Some will say
"He was a nice fellow!"
Others will say
"What a bastard!"
Both statements will be false.
Afterthat, what's the use in living?
You keep dragging along
Because of curiosity
Expecting something new.
Funny!
Funny
And disgusting
She has everything at hand
And in time.
We've stayed awake all nigh. Kept waiting.
- Oh, what a headache!
- Fix, fix your hangover.
- How is the singer?
- I dunno, packing up,
May be, saying good-bye to his Grandma's photos.
- Oh, Fedor!
- Fine!
Dear, see him off to
the train doors.
- We'll see him off OK.
- See to it that he gets into the carriage.
- Otherwise he'll miss his train and will start hanging around.
- I'll take him to the trolley.
- And?
- And that's all. Because I have to go to the firing range.
- If I'm late, they'll have my scalp.
- Ask your boys to see him off.
- Well, they'll see to it.
- OK, that's fine.
Do not worry.
Where is this dude, eh?
Honk him.
At last, here he is.
Jackass, leave it alone!
Drop it. Leave it alone.
Just a souvenir, mom, just a souvenir.
Pasha, Pasha, come on.
They'll have my scalp at the firing range.
Do not forget us, come again!
Do not forget us.
Come visit your granny's grave.
Do not forget us.
We'll get lost without you. Just get lost.
Come on, dear.
OK, ladies, when I have time, I'll stop by.
Do not forget us, sweetie.
God bless you.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
I can not understand you
- Stop, then start
Halt!
Halt! Halt!
Here we are?!
Man, this is your destination.
This is your house.
Do not look at other houses.
Do not hang around.
Sign here.
That you actually got it.
Attaboy!
Now unload the truck quickly!
I have to get back before darkness.
How are you?
- What did he say, eh?
- He greeted us in his way.
What a posh robe he has!
- And a warm one.
- Very warm. It could be nice...
Some asshole came to my garden
and keeps walking around
Is he praying or singing songs?
My whole harvest will be fucked up
because of this jerk.
He is praying,
Praying to his own God.
He is not of our kin, it goes without a question,
Our people do not pray that way.
Yes, they are praying with bows
to the earth.
Amazing!
The earth is like a stone.
This is theirfaith.
Not ourfaith, but theirs.
A nice man, a robust one.
Fuck him, let him pray the way he want
beating the earth either with his head or his ass.
Anyway, it is not our way.
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry, ma'am, I thought the house was empty.
It is not empty. Get outa here!
Foreign asshole, and never come here again.
Let me take this.
Get outa here!
- Enough!
- Foreign asshole!
Girls, are you cold?
- Should I set up the samovar?
- OK?
Why are you huddling up?
You are sitting like a wet hen.
My feet are aching. I've been wearing
warm boots since early summer.
Stop weaning!
Do you know what to do?
Boil this mixture and drink, everything will be OK.
Nothing will be OK.
It normalizes the blood pressure as well.
Where are you carrying this boiler?
Did you take it from my bath house?
I took it from the bath overthere.
Take it.
There are good logs overthere
and good stones. Take them.
Thanks.
Did you come here to live?
I'll see.
You should like our place,
the earth is good, fruitful here.
- Have you been starving up there?
- Do not ask.
Oh, you seem to have come to
our place for a long time.
- I'll have to look around.
- Look, look around.
- OK.
- And we'll look at you.
Oh, by the way! We are making the pilaf tonight.
I invite you to join us.
- Thanks.
- We'll have a meal, get to know each other.
What meal? We are not starving.
- We are full.
- Anyway, come.
- OK, we'll come.
What a huge boiler!
They are going to make a lot of porridge.
May be forthe whole week.
Anfiska!
Hey! Look!
How stupid we Russians are!
What dumbasses! They sold all
of their plants, mines, restaurants.
The foreigners are sitting
like masters in our restaurants.
And a Russian slave, a boor, washes theirfeet.
The foreigners laugh
at the Russian people.
The Russians got into the yoke
while having such a rich country.
What will you tell your kids?
What will you tell your grandsons?
Why have you
sold everything, bastards?
Oh, dear Brezhnev,
open your eyes for a second.
You'll be surprised
how poorly we live under capitalism.
They said we stagnated, but the people live in joy.
And now everybody is angry
and does not care about anything.
Precisely!
- How fed up I am with you clumsy verses.
- And I love them.
Girls, let's go to the pilaf party.
Have we been invited?
Yes, we have. But I will not go.
Girls, do not go to their place.
. I'd better bring
some fresh homemade jam.
- Come on, come on.
- I'll bring a lot of raspberry jam.
- An entire 3-liter can.
- The ass will get glued, anyway, come on.
She is off to free porridge.
- Sit down.
- How are you.
- How was the trip?
- Fine. Sit down.
- Let me take that.
- I'm not accustomed to such things.
Never mind, give it to me.
- How was the trip?
- Thanks, it was all right.
- Really all right? No adventures?
- No.
All right. And how do you feel now?
What? No, everything is OK.
You really haven't had any adventures
during the trip, have you?
- Take some tea.
- It is OK.
Well, thanks. Foryour kindness.
You are so kind.
How did you survive the war?
- OK.
- Was it OK?
- Did you father go to...
- Yes, he went to war.
- He went to war, didn't he? I s he alive?
- Yes. He is. Here he sits.
He is alive!
And ourfather is dead. He was killed.
He left us alone. It was very difficult.
Our mother raised six kids
alone. It was very difficult.
That's why I decided
We lived and I decided...
To write a poem
about my dad.
- Tell it to us.
- May be you will not like it.
- Did you write it yourselves?
- Yes, I did.
We'll surely like it. Please tell it to us.
- A poem of my own writing.
- Should I start?
- Please do us a favor.
The tales of the ancient times,
The deeds of the days of glory.
Excuse me, Pushkin, if your rhymes
fit so nicely in my story.
I don't attempt to write "Onegin".
I'm a novice in the field.
But still I'll try
and may be build.
A picture of the past in verses
I'll never print them anyway.
ljust expect your attention.
Forgive my awkward ways.
The village of Kryakhtinka
was the birthplace of a boy.
Like of many boys of the time.
The boy grew up. His name was Petya.
He came of age and fell in love.
He worked as a carpenter in the kolkhoz
and loved his job.
But the time was passing.
They had more kids and once.
He understood that they should move to town.
The family thought it over.
And they built a house
in 1939 in the city of Yegorievsk.
There was a lavish housewarming party
and happy life ensued afterthat.
He fixed the job
for our mother.
And fixed the job for himself.
He became a city dweller
And rejoiced at his fate.
More years went by, the kids were growing.
And then the War.
And he was drafted and at home.
He left behind four girls, two sons and his wife.
Wet, hungry soldiers in the trenches
Expected their deaths
And then our dad was hit by a bullet.
Our mother wept a lot,
But the kids returned herto reasonable ways.
She did not put him in the grave,
But God will forgive her sin.
And once she had a thought
while sitting by the window.
What if they asked the draft commission?
About him. A miracle happened.
They had an answer.
The state decided it should find
The deathbed of the father
and inform.
The information was not easy to obtain
But suddenly we knew that it was
the Nevelsky district, the Milynki village
In a communal grave.
The life jumpstarted,
joyous days arrived.
At last the family received a chance
to see theirfather's grave.
Its women will surely weep,
its men will soberly drink
Forthe souls of soldiers who died
to bring to us this long-lasting peace
And it is high time to leave
and to finish this long ballad
Comrades, when will we board the truck
and arrive to ourfather's side?
And the day of departure comes
and the family waits for a car.
Let's drink, my fiends, before we start
the trip to the faraway place.
When the car arrives, it will be too late,
the road will take its toll.
I do not know what we'll see
when Kostya Kaurov stops at ourfather's grave.
Thank you dad,
We are not to blame
that you prematurely died.
Oh, if you could stand and see
All of you kids and grandsons.
Thanks, Dad, you saved the world
And perished at your best age.
But you remain with us in our dreams,
in your kids you remain with us.
That's all.
That's all of my ballad.
Thanks.
- Did you like it?
...Yes, very much.
Here you are, girls.
We are having a nice time.
What should we do further
with these Asians?
What really?
What should we do? Theirfamilies are huge.
They'll arrive in hordes like locusts.
- And they'll press us outa here.
- And this will be the smallest trouble.
What huge families they have.
All of them have big golden teeth.
Shit, and they stand for each other.
Yesterday these motherfuckers sat
on the benches in four rows.
Yes, darling, these folks will not let
us open our mouths
And all of our militia
will tiptoe around them.
Yes, darling, have you seen knots
on his belt... here and there?
Do you know how many coins are sewn in there?
That's how they pay the militia off,
And ourfolks just keep talking shit and get convicted.
Where will we get the gold?
Fuck him, come on!
The judge does not talk to us,
we are earthly worms.
The officials arrived, prepared
everything forthem... rooms and all this shit.
And tell us:
"Get outa here to the fucking hell".
And what jackasses serve up there.
We went to the court and we got it again.
They say he had a stroke,
he needs a doctor.
We went home,
then came again
Then they say he needs an interpreter.
And the court hearing...
He was not guarded by the militia, but by the military.
And the terrorist feels OK
walks around with a sachet
With medicines.
And our Russian con will not get such a sachet.
- We are not afraid of them.
- Are you serious?
Yes, they'll come in hordes.
Burn theirfucking houses down
so that they wouldn't exist any more.
So that they wouldn't live here and would quit
to their native land and fuck it up the way they want.
- Girls, we'll get convicted.
- No way.
They have no power over us
If anything, we'll address Fedor.
Fuck them.
I have both some kerosene and some diesel fuel.
And some gasoline.
I'll ignite the stuff and let it burn.
Here it is,
ten gallons or more.
Girls, fuck them.
Let us sing our song.
What are you moaning about?
What are you moaning about?
Everything got burnt down.
Everything. And our papers too.
And our blankets. Everything.
It was a good house. What a pity!
Now what? You are alive, your kids are alive.
And spit on the house. Take
Anna's house.
Thank you, thank you, old ladies.
When I was at home, I had everything.
I had a ram, and a hen, I had everything.
I could be hospitable to guests.
And now I can not. Do you understand?
If our Lord permits, everything will be OK.
I think we'll set things straight. We'll have everything.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Let's go.
I took yourfatherto my house.
He'll be warm. Do not grieve!
Anything may happen.
Sleep. Sleep.
Will you go?
Let's go.
Oh, my sufferer.
Let me help you take off your boots.
Take off your hat.
Take off yourtrousers.
Lie down, lie down.
The money is sewn in everywhere.
And what a pretender!
My Asian genie.
Why are you screaming? Why are you screaming?
Your devil will not get anywhere.
ljust stroked it.
Run, run around, cool it down.
Mikolka!
Have you done this?
Have you set this house on fire?
Do not refuse it.
You smell of kerosene.
Have you had any second thoughts, bastard?
Where will these people live during winter months?
Are you mad?
As if we had had few grieves without this arson.
You know my hand...
We all will beat you now.
You'll remember!
Go home.
And take this to them. Go! Run!
Run!
Stop your unit!
What's up, ma'am?
Eh? I did not get it.
Give a few soldiers to me
to disassemble that house.
Where will I take the soldiers from?
We are exercising, my dear.
- And afterthe exercises?
- Afterthe exercises.
The house overthere on the slope.
Our God will not forgive you, old one.
Afunin, 20 degrees to the right.
Do you see the house on the slope?
Target it and fire.
If you miss, you'll serve two extraordinary duties.
And you, ma'am!
Ma'am!
Move to the side.
Charge! Fire!
That's all, ma'am, go gatherthe logs.
I think they do not need any sawing.
Thanks, Fedor.
Attention!
Follow me in a column, march!
Thanks.
We all keep guessing
what he is building overthere.
- We came to look at what you are doing.
- You mean this...
This will be an electric power station.
- Will we have this electricity?
- Yes, you will.
The other people took everything they could from us,
and the nature will give to us everything we need.
It is time to separate ourselves from the state.
It's cut us off, hasn't it?
And we'll cut it off as well.
The electricity has been cut off for ages here
as well as the radio.
Are we going to
live like cavemen, eh?
What for?
We'll set up the electricity first...
And think about the cattle later.
We'll set up a small farm.
Eh? Are you going to be a shepherd, Mikola?
- No, a chief veterinarian.
- Precisely.
And everything will be OK, old ladies.
Do you remember as the saying goes in yourtales?
We'll live along and earn more goods.
Earn more goods!
Exactly!
Ok, will we live to see this?
Fenya! Fenya! Where are you?
I'm here, here.
- Gala, is that you?
- Yes, yes, me.
What do you want?
Please, darling, pour some oil to me.
Oh, Lord, is this so pressing?
- Well, darling, what a pressing need.
- Yes, urgent.
What urgent?
I'm running out of oil as well
And have no money to buy it.
- Hello.
- As-salam Allah am!
I'm running out of oil and money too.
I do not know if there will be any pension this month.
Fedor says this month
they will pay.
Yes, everybody sits penniless
and you do not have any income.
I have everything.
I'm not like you beggars.
- Do you want some tea?
- Me? Drink yourtea?
Yes, I've cooked some pies.
- Here? Sitting on the floor? With him?
- Yes. What's wrong with that?
To hell this bold motherfucker!
Why do you swear?
Has he done anything wrong to you?
We Russians sit at the table.
And we sit this way.
We want it. And I do so.
I do not care about the way you sit.
but I will not sit here.
If you do not want, it's up to you.
You were offered to.
Remain here. And I leave.
Old fart!
Fuck off!
Here is your oil.
Rub yourself or his...
- I'll find what to rub!
...And I'll find...
I have my own ways and devices.
Dirty cunt!
Do not pay attention to her,
my Al-Khottab genie, do not pay attention.
Yes, to hell with her.
So easy to offend, do not pay attention
My honey.
Yes, and there are only small ones remaining.
I think that's all forthis place.
Wow! Look how big it is!
Girls, look what is going on!
Someone is chasing someone! Look!
Yes, it is Fedor.
Fedor, stop it!
Oryou'll get a fucking kick.
Halt, bitch! Asshole,
you'd rather stop, fuckass.
If I catch you, you are dead, bitch!
Halt, bitch!
I'll tear out your dirty cunt, asshole!
Halt, bitch! Halt!
Come here! Fucking tempest!
I'm talking to you, bitch!
Come here!
I'll kill this cunt!
Come to your senses.
I'll kill the bitch.
Come here.
Shame on you, she is a woman.
Awoman, do you understand that?
Are you nuts?
- Fedor, listen.
- Ok, you've had some fun. Go have some rest.
Fedor, come to your senses.
Go, go away.
Go, Fedya.
The bruises will disappear.
In a week, may be in a month.
What a blow. Do not be afraid, darling.
They'll disappear, do not get upset.
Ok. Anything may happen.
Everybody gets all right.
Have a small drink.
Pour some to me, do not be mean.
I'm not mean.
You keep begging every day.
Valya, you see,
It seems to me that you've deserved this.
Fedor chased you for a good reason.
You hang around.
Wiggle yourfat ass,
Visit the barracks,
Bang the soldiers,
That's why he got jealous.
You seem to have deserved this.
by fucking on the side.
The forests are around
the firing ranges.
I know, I used to visit these places.
I went there to receive the money.
The barracks are so big.
Do you visit the barracks?
You may get in,
the guards will let you in.
If it was not yourfirst visit.
You, darling, should fuck around less often
and wait for Fedor.
Fedka is a good fellow. Look.
What godd has he done for me
except foryour damned coffins.
He either drinks or plays cards.
That's all, he does not have anything else.
Or as you say drives his
as you call it, armored personnel carrier.
Who is he driving it with?
Where does he go?
And I saw it yesterday.
He arrived in a huge jeep
with two whores.
Bought some moonshine from Fekla
and drove away
Where did he go?
Where do they fuck? Nobody knows.
But I'm young too, I also need it.
How long do I have to chastise?
Now I had this one.
You say I
frequently visit the barracks.
But no, I felt myself a real woman
forthe first time in my marriage.
Aaha! You are young, you feel the itch.
Well, it is OK, everyone is
looking for a bang.
So, you are hot
and this shag is going somewhere.
Where will you look for him?
You have to put up with that.
People say that a mother-in-law will not believe a servant.
That's why Fedor does not believe you.
You can do nothing about it.
You'll have to put up with that until your death.
All men are shags nowadays, fuck them.
To fucking hell with all men.
And you do not belive him, my dear.
They are sweet until you are close.
And they do not give a fuck when you leave.
- Family matters are murky.
- Yes, surely.
No other way. The beloved ones start kissing
as they start fucking.
What can be done about this?
Such times around.
Where can you hide from that?
Nowhere, darling.
What can be done?
That's why Valya fucks on the side.
She did not like her cock,
she ran to another one.
And he too.
C? Ac?? O. OK, old ladies.
I'll go. Thanks.
For saving from this bastard.
Pity for Fedor.
Pity.
Listen, girls, when I die, bury me
In a white coffin with no frills.
The bounty is ready.
The funeral repast are to be set up
with straight moonshine.
Remember, I bought a couple of bottles from you.
I preserve them, do not open.
So that everybody could
drink my moonshine freely.
So that everybody would recall my repast
As the time when I served anyone to the full
with my moonshine and did not spare any money.
Who is there in such rain and so late at night?
Somebody has come.
- Well, these may be soldiers to ask foryour moonshine.
- But they know I'm not moonshining today.
Hey, who is there?
Are you mad to
disturb old women so late at night.
I'll go out and give you a good beating.
You'll remember how bad it is to visit old women at night.
And wake them up!
Girls, he has a weapon.
Sonny, do not take a mortal sin upon your soul!
Do not be afraid, ladies, I will not touch you.
May I close the door.
Wow, you are wet to the bones.
Go to the fire and warm up.
The oven is not.
Come on, sonny.
I'll make some food foryou.
I'll boil some potatoes.
Come on, sonny.
- What will we do?
- Pour some booze to him. He'll fall asleep.
We'll take his machine gun,
and will report to Fedor in the morning.
And Fedor will kill him.
- And what if he kills us?
What if he kills us? What will we do then?
Look what a big gun he has.
I'll give him some booze,
And will wait and see.
Did you get lost in the woods, sonny?
How did you get to our place?
- I've deserted from my unit, ma'am.
- Are you mad?
- Was the service bad?
No, the service was normal.
- Were the rations bad?
- The rations? No, they were OK.
Eatable.
What in hell did you need?
I've escaped from the major.
From our major.
From Fedor?
You may call him Fedor,
and for me he is a bone in my throat.
He is a nice fellow.
Yes he is nice.
when he sleeps with his face to the wall.
He is after me.
Then, you've made some mess.
Me? I did not do anything wrong to him.
He thinks
I sleep with his wife. That's why he's mad.
- Do you mean Valya?
...Yes, I do.
- But she is an A-Grade whore, darling!
- Top-grade.
No, she is good.
She just married this idiot.
That's all.
And are you going to ruin your life
because of this whore?
Are you nuts?
Not only your life will be ruined, but
yourfamily's, your mother's ones.
But I do not desert from the army.
I'm ready to serve honestly and anywhere.
Be it Siberia or Far North.
I'm ready to serve even in Chechnya.
I want to get to
the headquarters of the regiment in the city
and ask for a transferto any place that
is farfrom this mayor.
He beat me yesterday,
The beating itself is nothing
But it happened right in front of her.
And when she left, he
grabbed me and said:
I'll shoot you during the very first firing exercises!"
- He can do that, yes.
- Yes, yes.
I'd like to get to the headquarters
To write an application
Forthe transferto any other unit.
If they reject it, I'll go to Chechnya.
If I ask for Chechnya, they are sure to send me there.
If I am to die, than not in the hands of this shitface.
What a fool you are!
Is he worth it?
Please, do not give me away!
God forbid.
Go to bed.
Go, go.
Not here, to the barn.
To the barn.
Please, do not give me away.
Otherwise the major will shoot me
as the one who attempted to escape.
And Valya...
I'll take Valya from him.
I'll finish my service and take her away.
- Who needs her?
- No, she is a saint.
What a fool you are, asshole, what a fool!
So, in the car.
Line up quickly!
Line up.
So listen to me. Comb every house here
every bath, every corner.
Three people this way, three people that way. Run!
You'll follow me.
Listen, captain, shake this bunch over,
I do not like it.
Follow me.
And thoroughly, please.
May be this bastard is hiding there.
Open the door.
- Corporal, there is no one here.
- Follow me.
Sonny, the soldiers are in the village.
They are looking foryou.
Where are you going?
Give it to me.
There to the left, deeper, deepr.
Deeper and to the left.
There are old sacks overthere,
coveryourself.
Sit there, do not cough and do not smoke.
Fedor, what's wrong?
Nothing, dear. Let me eat your carrot.
Why did so many cars arrive?
It is none of your business.
You are so interested.
You are so interested. Run
from one end of the village to the other.
From one to the other.
What has happened? What has happened?
- Nothing has happened.
- What's to be done?
Everything is in order
In order
In the armored troops.
That's how it is.
You'd bettertell me
What has happened in the village today?
When?
I tell you nothing's happened.
You speak so loudly that
you can be heard in the barracks.
And what? Nothing
has happened.
Nothing?
And nobody has come to ask forthe booze, has he?
But ljust have finished
making it this morning.
- Did your soldiers get drunk?
- If it had been so.
If it had been so,
No, Fedor, it is not us.
It is not my moonshine.
I know that it is not you.
Why did you get so pale?
Yourface...
There is a reason to get pale.
- May be this will help?
- Listen you.
Cold fart!
Who are you suggesting this to?
Are you suggesting this to me?
An official executing official duties...
- Fedor!
- You've turned all my unit into drunkards!
Do you understand that?
I do not know what to do with these assholes!
Do you understand that?
When I have free time, I'll tear
your house down to fucking pieces!
Do you understand that?
I'll ruin you and yourfucking booze.
- What's up?
...Nothing.
Fedor, calm down
Fedechka! Fedechka!
Fedya!
As you need someone to make coffins,
then " Fedechka", fuck you.
We...
And to dig graves ..." Fedya"
- We are yours.
- And no fucking help from you.
Fedya.
Pour.
In a gulp, in a gulp, everything will be OK.
Do not be afraid, everything will be OK.
They'll fuck me in the ass forthat.
As usual.
Your service is very hard.
Your booze is good.
We make it for ourselves.
What do you want, yellow ass?
What are you weeping about?
What do you want?
Shut up.
- Shut up, asshole!
...You do not have the right.
You are here without any rights.
One word of mine and you will not be here anymore.
- Why are you looking at me? Why are you looking at me, asshole?
- Here it is not there foryou, and there it is not here.
Listen to my advice.
To survive here... smile.
Comrade mayor! There is
no one in the house of these blackasses.
He is not a fool to hide
in the vicinity of the unit.
He has headed forthe railway station.
We'll go there.
Take your seats in the truck.
Thank you.
Thank you, mom.
Thanks.
- As soon as you come to the city, go to the headquarters.
- To the headquarters.
See you.
Do not forget us.
Where is your daddy?
Went to the forest to pick some berries.
- It is cold today.
- That's why I'm heating it up.
- Are you not heating it up today?
...No, I'm not. I have no wood.
Why are you lying?
Fedor destroyed an old house for us.
And what?
I still do not have any wood.
- Was it stolen?
- Yes, it was.
- And who was the thief?
- No money to buy anything.
- Was he the thief?
- That's why I come here to stay warm.
Today I'll warm up in this house, and tomorrow.
Yes, today you'll warm up your ass.
Tomorrow you'll heat up your cunt.
Stop lying.
Warm up, never mind.
Warm up.
I'll visit you every other day.
And will heat up my own oven in between.
You've been so mean for all your life.
Mean?
You never bought a small bottle
of booze to your husband.
I bought some after he came from the bath.
- Afterthe bath?
- Yes.
And where is he now?
That's a different thing.
And you should have given it to him before the bath.
And you did that afterthe bath.
Zoika! Zoika!
- Is she in the birth labors?
- Yes, she is.
Come on, come on, honey, come on.
Off, off, off she goes.
Hey, stop.
Come on, come on
Darling, wow!
It is good they have water here.
It is not male business.
You'll come later.
- Who is it?
- A son.
- A son!
- A son, daddy.
My honey.
My darling.
We have a belief in the East.
There is such a thing as suinchi
for good news.
This is the dearest thing for me.
To protect you from black eye,
to extent your life.
Well, how is it?
You have both the house and someone to live for.
And you kept weeping.
What a fool you are!
Girls! Girls!
Ouryoung ones!
Nastya!
We wish a kid
a yearto them
And if you have twins, we'll be convinced!
Hurray!
Kiss!
Have you lost it?
You've lost it yourself.
My sweet ones! My dear ones!
My old friends!
My beauties!
I'm very glad
you came to this celebration
We have a great holiday today.
My son was born.
And I'll make you a present that I've promised
I've promised that you'll have the electric power station?
Have I?
I'm going to turn it on now.
