Episode 1
Where to shoot,
Your Nobleness?
Fall in!
It won't rise!
We need a little guy.
Bumbarash!
In the basket!
Wait a second.
Happy flight!
In the basket!
Leave your rifle!
Well, it's do or die!
- Go on, Your Nobleness!
- Cast off the lines!
- It isn't rising!
- Throw off your sack!
- So what's for me without my sack?
- Throw off your sack!
Your swag!
Your blouse!
Your shoes!
Your pants!
Become lighter!
It is rising, Your Nobleness!
Bless me, it is rising!
It's do
or die!
Observe, what is going on
behind the hills!
Germans!
Germans are there!
They finish eating a porridge.
Where is their position?
Hit them!
I think it's a barley porridge.
Where is their position?
They all eat, one and all!
Where are their guns?
What?!
Officer, where are their guns?
The officers drink hot cocoa!
Where the hell are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
What?!
Where are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
Guns?
I am flying,
Your Nobleness!
I am flying away!
I am flying away!
- Clerk!
- I'm here!
Write down, my friend.
On the 12th day of October,
year 1916,
lower rank Bumbarash
took a heroic death.
For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!
By means of...
Air-balloon!
Send the funeral document immediately.
May he rest in peace.
A servant of God has passed.
I don't give a toss
Tired of fighting.
Not my circus,
Not my monkeys.
My hut is small,
The stove and the mound are there.
But it's mine
By the law.
You are Eryoma, I'm Foma.
You say one word, I say two.
I will pack my caporal
In your piece of paper.
You are a people and I am a people,
My wife is waiting for me back at home.
As soon as I am back,
I'll agitate my sweet one.
Thank you, God.
I have been shooting long enough.
I will leave my forces
For my dearest one.
I don't give a toss
Tired of fighting.
We were soldiers,
No we are heading home.
My hut is small,
The stove and the mound are there.
Help!
Seraphima, what's wrong with you?
Why do you fling at me?
Hello!
And I don't say hello
to strangers.
But I'm not a stranger,
I'm Bumbarash, I'm your brother!
Seraphima!
His brother Bumbarash took
a heroic death.
By means of...
Melaniy, bring the paper.
Fiscal paper!
Bumbarash!
Alike!
No, he isn't Bumbarash.
No, he doesn't look
like him.
They gave away Bumbarash's horse!
They sold Bumbarash's cart!
And Melaniy gave the half
of Bumbarash's hut to old people!
And what about covert suit?
Bumbarash!
The office of 26th
Belgorod regiment
informs you that your
brother Bumbarash
took a heroic death!
For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!
By means of air-balloon!
We spent money on your requiem!
Therefore, I don't have
a brother anymore!
I'm alive! You don't believe?
Here, touch me!
That's my uncle!
It's him!
My nephew recognised me,
my brother didn't!
I'm alive! Seraphima, it's me!
- I don't have a brother!
- Bumbarash is me!
And I'm Bumbarash!
We spent money on your requiem!
He took a heroic death!
- I don't have a brother!
- I'm Bumbarash!
I don't have a brother!
I'm alive!
It's me, Bumbarash!
Bumbarash!
You don't recognise me?
Bumbarashka!
You son of a bitch!
You are alive!
Yasha!
I took your Varka with strength.
The mother is a backward element.
Don't be sad.
Time will come, and you will choose
a wife more beautiful than Varka.
I don't need someone else.
Forget about her!
Think about the future!
There will be no huts, there will be
a palace for every family.
With columns, with fountains,
with mound of tile.
Steam heating!
You will take a tea with lemon!
A beautiful wife!
She will speak German or French,
if you want to.
Come on, Bumbarashka!
Enter the Red Army!
We will conquer a fairylike life
for working class.
Where are you going?
To Varka?
Don't go.
Gavrila started a gang.
Commissar of the Provisional Government
and Vaska the sailor
were found drowned last week.
I'm telling you they did it!
It doesn't matter.
Varya! Come here, I'll show
you something!
- Draw me a cow there!
- I can't draw a cow.
I'll teach you now!
Varya! Come here, I'll show
you something interesting!
- Draw me a kangaroo there!
- I can't.
I am a member of the Imperial
Academy of Arts!
I'll show you the Imperial Academy,
fucking moron!
Varya, come here!
I'll read you about
the ministers.
- You wanted a tea, didn't you?
- Fuck your tea!
And I'll read you
about the empress.
Come on! Hurry up!
Hello,
Varvara Grigorievna.
It's a present to you.
I'm glad to see you,
my countryman.
Well, come on, sit down,
we'll have a cup of tea.
Did you see your old friend Yashka,
didn't you?
Good people told me.
This all-round jerk will get yours!
I'll shake him out of his foot wraps
and make him dancing naked.
This snake troubles people.
Here, eat.
Listen, Bumbarash, go
to my self-defence.
Gavrila, you have your own
interests,
and I have mine.
What do you mean?
I'm trying to do my beat
for the whole village.
I want them to sleep well, eat well,
drink well.
And I have enough.
I mean my house,
my workhouse, my statuettes,
my cow, my calf, my pig...
Look, I have such a beautiful wife!
Varya!
Take the high boot off
the samovar.
Come on, take it off.
Let me take it.
Come on, play something.
Oh, dear God!
I was on the theatre of war,
Oh, dear God!
I was killing enemies,
Oh, dear God!
I turn the cannon into the sky,
give a blow, spit, pull the cord...
And, of course, I miss!
Oh, dear God!
I was on the theatre of war,
Oh, dear God!
I was behind enemy lines,
Oh, dear God!
For the military purpose they send
Someone who is crafty.
So they sent me!
I swear, I'm not lying,
Oh, dear God!
I'm flying on the air-balloon.
Oh, dear God!
Like an angel I see everything
From the sky.
Like an angel I see everything
From the sky.
Fat German is drinking hot cocoa.
I couldn't take it,
Oh, dear God!
I take the German on sight,
Oh, dear God!
Bugger me! How could you,
Fucking German, drink cocoa without me?
Bugger me! How could you,
Fucking German, drink cocoa without me?
Go away!
- Go away!
- Yeah, of course.
Oh, dear God!
Varya!
I'm going to bring you
fruit drops.
Give it to your mother
and your sisters.
You know, I was thinking
about something.
I have a bomb
and about 5 guys.
We will prepare a rebellion.
We will waste Gavrila
as a harmful element.
And then we will enter
the Red Army.
A rebellion? What do you
know about it?
You'll teach us!
- We will fight for this kind of life...
- For palaces and fountains?
And steam heating?
You will have a tea on your balcony
with... You know, how do they call it?
Stop it!
I finished fighting, Yasha.
Have you ever been concussed?
Have you fed lice in the trenches?
Have you swung with a naked ass
under the bayonet?
Have you drown in the swamp?
Have you ever been shot
with a parabellum?
And at the same time
they were drinking hot cocoa!
What's wrong with you?
Here, take it. My blouse
to your star!
Are you all right?!
Yashka, Bumbarash,
where are you going?
Take it, I'm telling you!
Where are you off to?!
Give me one minute of
Rest and peace.
Give me one minute
To rest my mind,
To listen to nightingale,
To look at the sky.
Oh, I don't have enough time!
People don't give me enough time.
Oh, I don't have enough time!
I don't have enough time,
People don't give me enough time.
But people let me
Sleep deadly.
But people let me
Sleep deadly.
Is it you,
is it really you?
- Alive, alive!
- I'm alive.
Go away, gangsters will see you!
Be quick!
- Let's go away together!
- I can't.
I feel good with you,
Bumbarash.
I don't need anything,
but to be with you together.
To ooze, to freeze, to anguish,
but with you.
Let's run away right now.
He will shoot my mother and my sisters,
he has already threatened me.
I didn't want to marry him,
I was waiting for you.
He set our hut on fire,
he poisoned our ow,
then he put it out and took me
for this...
Varvara! What is going on
right there?
Stay put!
- Who is it?
- It's me, Bumbarash.
Let me wash myself.
Did you see her?
- Who did that to you?
- Pour it.
Oh, my God,
Gavrilka!
I have no complaints to you,
live here, use it.
I will go away, let me just
lie up.
In the hayloft.
I will throw something to you.
If they ask, say that
I have gone to Rossoshansk.
I'll tell them everything.
It's me.
- Why are you naked?
- My mother has confiscated my pants.
She says I'll run to you,
so they'll find out where you are.
And what is Gavrila doing?
He has driven all the men
and old men. He is trying to find
some bump or bruise.
He tells, if I find
I'll kill.
- And?
- He hasn't found anything.
He hasn't?
They are going door to door.
So what is there? Is there anyone?
No one!
Do you think he is stupid?
Then come here.
My mother wanted to tell you
that Varka was guarding Gavrila.
Don't smoke, they'll find you.
Don't smoke, don't breathe,
don't live...
- I'll go away tonight.
- And will you take me?
- You can't go without pants
- I'll fix it.
And who was that damsel?
The gang chieftain.
They say she is a granddaughter
of Stepan Razin.
She doesn't speak Russian.
And what is her name?
Sofia, I think.
I don't remember.
Bring me something
to drink.
There are horses
Above the river.
The horses are looking for watering.
They don't go to the river,
The bank is too steep.
There are no flat hollows,
No little paths,
So what the horses are going
To do?
The horses want to drink.
And a cream-coloured horse
Has jumped from
This damned
Cliff.
This blue river
Is too deep.
Yashka!
Yashka!
Yashka!
Bumbarash!
Bumbarash!
Bumbarash, it's me.
Run away as soon as possible!
They are looking for you.
Run away, please,
run away!
Yashka made a revolution,
he threw a bomb.
They killed Shurka.
Run away.
- Are you cold?
- No.
Shame on you! How come?
I'm guilty cause they didn't kill me.
Go away.
Go away and watch out
so they won't kill you.
Go away.
- Go away.
- Ok.
I'm going to give you a butt.
Shame on you, Barashka-Bumbarashka.
Run away.
Where?
Here, take it,
nights are cold.
He will punish you for this.
Take it, he has stolen enough.
Stay put!
- Are you leaving?
- Yes.
Well, go.
- Stay up!
- What's up?
- Who did that to you?
- One gangster.
Ok, go.
- Stay put!
- What?!
Listen, nobleman.
You have a nice greatcoat.
Give it to me. You don't need it.
Stay put!
Nazarovsky.
- You have something in your pockets.
- Throw it away!
- You forgot it!
- I don't need it.
Stop, I want to tell
you something.
What now?
Here!
You... I mean... Where
did you get it?
Where did you get it?
Our commissioner Nazarivsky was...
Go, scum!
Go!
Two factors...
Two product factors:
user value...
Two product factors:
user...
Stay put! Where are you going?
Holy crap!
Don't you see it?
We are going to the Chairman of the
division military court martial
department named after the Bastille
conquered by Parisian communards.
Stay put! There is a meeting there!
- What?
- Nothing.
Stay put! There is a meeting there!
Comrade commander, they ordered me
not to let strangers in.
Since when a criminal is a stranger?
Guard him. I'm going to report of him.
At the corner!
Death to the Whites!
I can't prove the greatcoat
not to be mine.
A bullet will prove it.
I'm friendly,
don't you see it?
On the contrary, I have suffered
from gangsters.
They will handle it.
- It will be hard to prove my innocence.
- Yes.
What do you read?
Capital: Critique of Political Economy.
Capital: Critique of Political Economy
by Karl Marx.
I skip images and tables,
but I key into a proletarian thing.
Understand?
- And what's the key?
- Look, holy shit!
I was in a white dress,
Everybody were dancing waltz.
I and a young adjunct
Were standing
At the window with
The shutters closed.
He was sufficiently
Shy and brave.
And then I by myself,
I by myself put out
An already bored chandelier.
And then I by myself,
I by myself put out
An already bored chandelier.
How pleasant
The intimate encounters are!
How pleasant
The kind talk is!
But put out, put out,
Please put out the candles,
If you want to fix the fire!
But put out, put out,
Please put out the candles,
If you want to fix the fire!
It's him! Bruise!
He is going to escape!
To the left, to the left!
He is going to escape!
He escaped!
Open up!
One second, boys,
one second!
Come here!
- What did you bring, young lady?
- My dowry.
As soon as the war come to an end,
I will marry some governor.
Don't worry, dear,
I won't harm you.
If only we spent your dowry on drink.
Where did you get this drapery?
From the train?
What's your interest?
None of your business!
I live a little out-of-the-world place, so
I don't know who is at the helm of state.
Whatever the regime is
I want to drink to my heart's content.
Bring the birdie here.
The health is yours,
the throat is ours.
Up!
You are welcome!
You can start.
He knocked at the door,
he asked to sleep overnight.
So I let him in.
Cause I'm a fighter against
domination and tyranny.
Get out of a place.
That's him!
As I can see he is hungry.
He said: "Give me a slice
of bread, please".
"Boy, I can give you more.
There are small sausage,
pork fat and sour cream in my basement.
Come on, go there,
I'm too old for this stuff.
I have a dicky heart
and bad back".
He goes there,
but I locked him up.
He started to
curse me, knock and bang on the door.
By the morning he calmed down.
So we meet again, Cock-a-doodle-doo.
You know what,
you killed Shurka with your
fucking bomb!
Gavriil!
Don't ruin our dinner!
I don't drink with gangsters.
Oh, I'm not a gangster! I am
an etoile, my sweetheart.
The etoile from Saint-Petersburg.
You know what does it mean?
There is no need for me to
use these bourgeois words.
I think aristocrats loved
your grandmothers.
I can say it looking at you.
Sweetheart, and aristocrats loved me.
Banker Rukavishnikov sent a carriage
for me,
when I was on tour
in Moscow.
I was so young!
He told me:
"Sofochka, don't you want to to go to the
right? There is the Bolshoi Theatre".
"No, I want to go to the left.
There is the Maly Theatre".
Yashka also likes to tell
fairytales,
but about bright future.
- Tell us.
- You, you...
Do you know, who I am?
She is a granddaughter of
Stepan Razin!
What, what?
You are a piece of shit!
Rascal!
Bury him.
Bury him alive.
Bury him.
Gavrila and Hamster.
Come on, right now!
Now!
Peace of shit! Rascal!
I am so adorable and
Incomparable.
And as you know,
I feel so comfortable.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is like a blizzard,
And we are wandering.
And we don't spend nights
Without each other,
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is a mystery,
And there is no solution.
At first it's sweet,
But then it's only torment.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is a poison,
Fate is a turkey,
Life is a monkey.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
I am so adorable and
Incomparable.
And as you know,
I feel so comfortable.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Heh, Yashka, Yashka!
Palaces and fountains.
A fairylike life...
I didn't go with you.
I'm tired.
I spent two years
in the trenches.
I wanted to live
without fighting.
And this is how
it all happened.
Run away from everyone,
hide from everyone.
And what could I
do out of the bushes?
It was like a concussion.
I was scared, Yashka.
I know it, I was scared.
Sorry me, Yasha.
Don't think, don't be scared,
rest in peace.
They will pay for it, Yasha!
I'm telling you,
I promise.
I will kill them as many times
as I'll meet them.
I will kill them as many times
as I'll meet them.
They will pay for it, Yasha!
I'm telling you,
I promise.

Episode 2
Bumbarashka!
Damn, you're alive!
Don't be sad.
Time will come and you'll find a much more
beautiful wife than Varka.
A palace for every family.
You'll drink tea with lemon
on the balcony.
Let's go fight for such
a life when...
I don't drink with bandits.
Ah, Yashka, Yashka!
Leave me a little.
Don't move!
What are you laughing at?
The moon can be seen
through your grenade.
Yes, indeed, it's empty.
My name is Lev Demchenko.
I can't survive here alone.
Mother used to pray for me
and beseech the Savior,
Used to kiss the cross
and bow without rest,
And her dear sonny is fated
a long travel,
Companies in diamonds
and an interest in spades.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,
and look for an answer.
A crane is flying in the skies...
Ah, where do I shelter?
Let me look about:
There’s a picket right ahead,
and a trap behind.
Yonder are the white, the green and
the golden shoulder-strapped,
And everyone has got
one think tank,
so do I.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,
and look for an answer.
A crane is flying in the skies...
Where I haven’t been to!
What I haven’t eaten:
Goosefoot, nettle, plantain,
and birch stir-about.
Only in the skies I have never
ever dinnered –
Savior, pray, forgive me,
for I’m gonna hang about.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,

A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
We will destroy this reptile along
with the looted good.
We need to do this with
the whole gang.
- We must go to the Reds.
- I can't.
Because of this greatcoat?
Not all Reds are redhead.
I'll sit in the cellar,
he'll hang a bag.
At this time,
the gang will come.
And you will appear
with the Reds.
Then I'll sit in the cellar and
take them with my bare hands.
- I can't go to the Reds.
- Then let's make it together.
- I'll go and sit in the cellar.
- No, I will!
More step!
More step!
It seems this is Reds,
and their commander is ahead.
One cannon.
Something is cooking in the field kitchen,
smells like borsch.
Maybe join them?
Are there any redheads
among them?
Brunette, two blondes.
Another brunette.
Smells like borsch.
Let's do it as agreed.
And if you meet
that Redhead?
Then we'll avenge Yashka.
And then we'll see
what happens.
- Well, hold on for an hour.
- I will.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
- Take it.
You see how it all happens.
Now is troubled time.
How will it all end?
No one knows yet.
You don't know, I don't know,
no one knows.
Well, okay, let it be
as it should be.
And if something doesn't happen,
Moor, then it doesn't.
What are you looking at?
You look at me, but you don't
understand a thing.
Oh, you, Moor!
Hello, old man!
- What are you yelling about?
- I want to eat.
- Hello, son!
- Hello, old man!
Well, sit down, sit down.
Eat this honey with some bread.
What are you waiting for?
Eat!
What are you waiting for?
Thank you.
Thank you, old man.
You help a fighter against
the world counter-revolution.
No problem!
You're always welcome.
Oh, you Red Guard!
Maybe you want some
moonshine?
A moonshine? No.
What about homemade sausage,
lard, sour cream?
Then take it yourself
in the cellar.
- In the cellar?
- Yeah.
I would do it myself but, you know,
old age, my back and heart...
I'll do it myself.
Okay, go then.
Not there.
The cellar is there.
It's here?
No, go there.
There are a lard and
homemade sausage.
And cocoa?
- What?
- I said, cocoa too?
Red Guard!
Hey, soldier!
Why are you silent?
What are you doing over there?
I eat your sausage
with sour cream.
How is it?
I locked you up.
- Haven't you heard?
- I have.
So why are you silent?
Scream, swear!
I don't want to.
How's that?
Scream, swear!
I've locked you up.
No, I won't.
What does it mean?
Why you won't?
- Scream and swear!
- Okay.
I will swear.
Oh, you bastard!
- Oh, you reptile!
- That's better.
You dirty "Counter"!
You are a rascal!
Old rascal!
Why did you lock me up?
I'll smash all your cellar!
I'll tear your hair out!
Bastard!
- You, "Counter"...
- That's better.
You're a bloodsucker!
Hello, old man.
- Where is he?
- There. Where else he could be?
- What are you doing? Open it!
- Hell no!
Open it, or it'll be worse for you!
Destroy them all!
Give up!
Take that, you bastards!
Bumbarash, get out!
One second!
I survived!
Not him.
And where's that guy?
No, not him.
They left with their tails,
but you came with the stars.
- Here he is, a hero!
- Here he is, dearie!
This is your guy?
I heard that there were bandits
nearby, and I hid him.
You can rest, now I'll give you
a salty cabbage and a moonshine.
And where is the girl who
made dances in here? Sophia.
I don't know any Sophia.
All who have been,
are all here.
You see, even the boss
doesn't know.
Don't deceive us, we know that you have
a shelter here for bandits.
Jesus! What a shelter?
Right here.
Die, you hicks!
Die of hunger!
Of lice!
Leave it, old man.
He passed away.
Of greed.
In the bandit shelter,
which we destroyed,
we found a wearable
footwear.
Although it's not uniform,
but in good condition.
And almost not worn.
But, comrades...
it's only 29 pairs.
And 80% of us are
almost barefoot.
Therefore, I'll choose those who have
a particularly bad situation.
And then let them choose
between themselves.
So why select?
I have nothing at all!
It will be like I said!
- Where are your soles?
- They fell off while I was walking.
Step forward.
Stop.
Step forward.
Stop.
- Why did you miss me?
- Yours are good enough.
The revolution is being made
for final justice.
Brothers, what does
this mean?
Me and Bumbarash
found a bandit shelter,
we risked our lives and
received nothing for it?
God knows I'm not going
to do it again!
You will.
You will when I order you.
Step forward.
The cell decided that Party members
should not claim this.
I'm in shock.
All members of the party
are so conscious?
Yes.
Come on, lady, lift your leg.
Let's see if these expensive
shoes will suit you.
What's the matter?
Don't be afraid, Aunt Galya,
we won't hurt you.
We are Reds!
Take it all!
Will you stay?
I have to pay for Yashka
with Sonya and Gavrila.
Why so sad?
You'll go to the front, and the bandits
will come here.
- You'll go to the front?
- Yes.
Do you want to become
our nurse?
Agree?
- We'll take her as a nurse.
- I agree.
What are you doing?
She has a mother, sisters.
Gavrila will kill everyone.
- Do you agree?
- I do.
Shivers, you, bourgeois,
The last battle has come,
The entire poor class
Rose up against you.
He smiled, laughed,
And broke all the chains,
And he fights for freedom,
As a hero.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling,
Wait for me,
And I will come.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
For the whole country.
We will win, and the whole globe
Will become ours.
We'll Destroy the Prison,
and disperse all enemies,
We will build our world
Of Free Labor,
And we'll live
The commune of the world.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling,
Wait for me,
And I will come.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
For the whole country.
The last one.
The only option is to charge it
with corn cobs.
Levka, maybe we should
let him go?
It won't work.
He won't go, I know him.
- What are you talking about?
- Bumbarash!
- Look what the Whites have.
- Got it! I will.
We are surrounded on all sides,
there is only a swamp here.
- You'll take the document with you.
- What document?
Extraordinarily important one.
- I won't go!
- You will!
Give the first Red commander
you meet.
We can't do this.
You can pretend to be civilian,
so they won't find out.
Come on.
- Go!
- Remember me kindly.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
- For the whole country.
- Go!
Stop!
- Password?
- "Bomb".
- Answer?
- Borisoglebsk.
You can go.
"Bomb, Borisoglebsk".
Stop!
Hands up!
Hands!
I count to three: one, two...
Why are you breaking
the rules, soldier?
First you need to ask for
the password.
- Password?
- "Bomb".
Correct.
And I know the answer.
If you want to ask,
I'll tell you.
- Go.
- "Borisoglebsk".
Correct.
- Where are your shoulder straps?
- What shoulder straps?
So, in fact, the Commander-in-Chief
sent me to the rear
to the Reds.
With a particularly
important task.
Now I'm going back.
Give me a cigarette.
Yes, that's better.
Well, I gotta go.
- And where are you going?
- I'm going to the headquarters.
- So do I.
- Why for?
To give an important report.
- Show me.
- It's in me.
I'm a very practical person.
If the Reds catch me,
I won't have to eat a report.
I remember everything.
You're all lying.
Tell me something unusual!
Even with foreign words!
Okay.
Ein, zwein, drecht...
cocoa.
Amitu guri tsufari
pari driker biker locomotive.
I can do that - Ein, zwein, drecht,
cocoa.
Amitu guri tsufari
pari driker biker locomotive.
His Excellency Colonel Korn
calls me a foreign word -
a phenomenon.
In the mornings he gives me
a glass of vodka.
And he says: "You, Strigunov,
have a gift from God."
Say something else.
Aratara pan kana holo zolo
volo pelo tselo locomotive!
Aratara pan kana holo zolo
volo pelo tselo locomotive!
- Where is your headquarters?
- On the Semenov farms.
And yours?
There was a fire at night.
It seems the Reds burned
these farms.
You don't believe me?
Climb on the tree,
you'll see.
- Let me hold it.
- No.
- Give me your gun.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
- What's in your report?
I won't tell!
I count to three.
- One...
- No, I can't...
- Two...
- Listen, I can't, because of gift...
You sold your God's gift for a glass
of vodka, Phenomenon.
But I have nothing against
your personality.
I don't shoot at you,
but at the report that harmful
to our cause.
No! No!
Three!
- And where is the one that escaped?
- I don't know, Your Honor.
Give a water to horses.
Hey, who's there?
Should I throw a grenade
in there?
You just imagined it.
And I say, a grenade!
Your Honor, there are Reds.
Get on the horses!
Brother! Brother!
- Who's there?
- Help me, get me out.
I'm one of you, brother.
Stand!
And pray your bandit
mother of god.
On behalf of the revolutionary
tribunal
of Division of "the Bastille Taking
by the Paris Communards".
Stop!
Stop! I have a document!
This is extremely important,
from Chubatov.
From Chubatov?
"To the Red Commander".
"Live, Bumbarashka,
and remember us"
"in the happy future
of world communism".
- What's a Bumbarashka?
- It's me Bumbarashka.
Chubatov is the commander
of the 4th company?
- He is.
- Be silent!
And don't you dare touch
our comrades,
who died heroically with
your bandit words.
We'll deal with you.
We learn all about Nazarovsky,
and about the 4th company.
Sovkov!
You are responsible for him
personally!
Until we give him
to the authorized agent
of the Special Department.
If he escapes again, I'll kill you
with this gun.
- Got it?
- Got it!
Damn it, give me your hands!
Listen, Sovkov, take out
your rifle.
Go, damn it!
This is my village, it's such a shame
when the workers see this.
Peasant origin.
Take it out, I'm asking you.
You escaped once, but you
can't do it a second time.
Go, damn it!
It's sad!
- Michel.
- What?
- Someone from this village?
- Gavrila.
- And who else?
- Hamster.
- Call him.
- Hamster!
Your name.
- What's the matter?
- Come closer.
- Levon!
- Yes, madam?
Scissors.
For what, Your Excellency?
How many times have I told you
to call me Madame?
Madame!
I do this for your benefit, so that
you won't be recognized.
You go to the village
and poison the wells.
Leave me alone!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay...
Read to me, Sovkov.
Don't bother me, bandit.
- Varya!
- Back!
Stop, the wife of a bandit!
Not allowed!
- Why did they lock you up, Bumbarash?
- They suspect me.
Because of the greatcoat.
But I gave it to you...
They suspect me because
of that greatcoat
of the murdered commissar.
Get out of here!
Get out, damn it!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling, Wait for me...
Get off from there!
Get off from there, damn it!
It's me.
It's me!
I see this.
What "me"?
- I'm a great coat...
- You're a greatcoat?
Let Bumbarashka go,
it's my fault.
I gave him this greatcoat.
He didn't know anything.
- What greatcoat?
- Commissar of yours.
Comrade commander, he was caught
by local women, he poisoned the well.
- Did you poison the wells?
- Who? No one did.
What do you mean?
Sit down.
- Where did they catch him?
- On the square.
- Is it water from the square?
- Yes.
Give me some.
I won't say anything anyway.
Okay.
Drink.
- I won't tell you anything.
- Well done.
- Close the well.
- Yes.
Give me water from the outskirts.
From the outskirts?
Give me next one.
- Where is this water from?
- From the outskirts.
Or maybe from the square.
- So from the square or from the outskirts?
- Drink.
- Are you kidding me?
- Drink.
Until you tell me where this water
comes from, I won't drink it.
- And...
- Listen to me...
I won't say anything at all.
Remove it.
Stop! Where are you going?
- Let me go, the omelette will cool down.
- Stop, I'll shoot!
Let her go, Sovkov.
Otherwise, this omelette
will be on your face!
Do it!
Sovkov, don't be so strict.
And you, the suspect, eat,
rest before the arrival of
a special agent.
Oh, Jesus Christ...
What's going on here?
Half the squad has a stomach hurt!
We're all poisoned!
This one with a beard, is our headman,
he's from the gang.
And that is great!
Comrade Commander,
he's coming.
Stop!
More precisely.
Go!
Come on, faster!
Have you now become
a land builder?
We will put a quarantine tent.
- 136, Comrade Commander.
- Remeasure.
Kravchuk!
- How much did you count?
- 153!
That's better.
And why is this better?
According to the doctor's statute,
one can not approach
a poisoned person
closer than 150 steps.
Stop wandering around
the military facility!
Carefully!
Count accurately!
- Shall we finish this comedy?
- Follow the order.
- Get machine guns only at night.
- Yes.
Everybody's poisoned.
According to the doctor's statute,
they have quarantine.
It's a quarantine, my dear,
quarantine.
We'll start at dawn.
Attack the village of Dubki!
Decisive assault,
don't be greedy with the bullets!
The first blow to the tent,
the second - to the center.
Famously! Actively!
Gentlemen officers,
God is with you!
I'm with you.
Gavrila! You will take
the left flank.
And you, count,
take the right one.
Decisively!
Without delay!
Place the wagon in the center
of the position.
Let's go.
We'll defeat the Reds
with our bare hands!
Is this a war?
Let them come closer.
Gang!
Gang!
Stop, Sovkov!
Let me go!
Open it! Parasite!
Fire!
The record!
Where are you going?
Stop!
That's all.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Varya!
There are horses
Above the river,
The horses are looking
for watering.
They don't go to the river,
The bank is too steep.
There are no flat hollows,
No little paths,
So what the horses are going
To do?
The horses want to drink.
And a cream-coloured horse
Has jumped from
This damned cliff.
This blue river
Is too deep.

Episode 1
Where to shoot,
Your Nobleness?
Fall in!
It won't rise!
We need a little guy.
Bumbarash!
In the basket!
Wait a second.
Happy flight!
In the basket!
Leave your rifle!
Well, it's do or die!
- Go on, Your Nobleness!
- Cast off the lines!
- It isn't rising!
- Throw off your sack!
- So what's for me without my sack?
- Throw off your sack!
Your swag!
Your blouse!
Your shoes!
Your pants!
Become lighter!
It is rising, Your Nobleness!
Bless me, it is rising!
It's do
or die!
Observe, what is going on
behind the hills!
Germans!
Germans are there!
They finish eating a porridge.
Where is their position?
Hit them!
I think it's a barley porridge.
Where is their position?
They all eat, one and all!
Where are their guns?
What?!
Officer, where are their guns?
The officers drink hot cocoa!
Where the hell are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
What?!
Where are their guns?!
Where are their guns?!
Guns?
I am flying,
Your Nobleness!
I am flying away!
I am flying away!
- Clerk!
- I'm here!
Write down, my friend.
On the 12th day of October,
year 1916,
lower rank Bumbarash
took a heroic death.
For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!
By means of...
Air-balloon!
Send the funeral document immediately.
May he rest in peace.
A servant of God has passed.
I don't give a toss
Tired of fighting.
Not my circus,
Not my monkeys.
My hut is small,
The stove and the mound are there.
But it's mine
By the law.
You are Eryoma, I'm Foma.
You say one word, I say two.
I will pack my caporal
In your piece of paper.
You are a people and I am a people,
My wife is waiting for me back at home.
As soon as I am back,
I'll agitate my sweet one.
Thank you, God.
I have been shooting long enough.
I will leave my forces
For my dearest one.
I don't give a toss
Tired of fighting.
We were soldiers,
No we are heading home.
My hut is small,
The stove and the mound are there.
Help!
Seraphima, what's wrong with you?
Why do you fling at me?
Hello!
And I don't say hello
to strangers.
But I'm not a stranger,
I'm Bumbarash, I'm your brother!
Seraphima!
His brother Bumbarash took
a heroic death.
By means of...
Melaniy, bring the paper.
Fiscal paper!
Bumbarash!
Alike!
No, he isn't Bumbarash.
No, he doesn't look
like him.
They gave away Bumbarash's horse!
They sold Bumbarash's cart!
And Melaniy gave the half
of Bumbarash's hut to old people!
And what about covert suit?
Bumbarash!
The office of 26th
Belgorod regiment
informs you that your
brother Bumbarash
took a heroic death!
For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!
By means of air-balloon!
We spent money on your requiem!
Therefore, I don't have
a brother anymore!
I'm alive! You don't believe?
Here, touch me!
That's my uncle!
It's him!
My nephew recognised me,
my brother didn't!
I'm alive! Seraphima, it's me!
- I don't have a brother!
- Bumbarash is me!
And I'm Bumbarash!
We spent money on your requiem!
He took a heroic death!
- I don't have a brother!
- I'm Bumbarash!
I don't have a brother!
I'm alive!
It's me, Bumbarash!
Bumbarash!
You don't recognise me?
Bumbarashka!
You son of a bitch!
You are alive!
Yasha!
I took your Varka with strength.
The mother is a backward element.
Don't be sad.
Time will come, and you will choose
a wife more beautiful than Varka.
I don't need someone else.
Forget about her!
Think about the future!
There will be no huts, there will be
a palace for every family.
With columns, with fountains,
with mound of tile.
Steam heating!
You will take a tea with lemon!
A beautiful wife!
She will speak German or French,
if you want to.
Come on, Bumbarashka!
Enter the Red Army!
We will conquer a fairylike life
for working class.
Where are you going?
To Varka?
Don't go.
Gavrila started a gang.
Commissar of the Provisional Government
and Vaska the sailor
were found drowned last week.
I'm telling you they did it!
It doesn't matter.
Varya! Come here, I'll show
you something!
- Draw me a cow there!
- I can't draw a cow.
I'll teach you now!
Varya! Come here, I'll show
you something interesting!
- Draw me a kangaroo there!
- I can't.
I am a member of the Imperial
Academy of Arts!
I'll show you the Imperial Academy,
fucking moron!
Varya, come here!
I'll read you about
the ministers.
- You wanted a tea, didn't you?
- Fuck your tea!
And I'll read you
about the empress.
Come on! Hurry up!
Hello,
Varvara Grigorievna.
It's a present to you.
I'm glad to see you,
my countryman.
Well, come on, sit down,
we'll have a cup of tea.
Did you see your old friend Yashka,
didn't you?
Good people told me.
This all-round jerk will get yours!
I'll shake him out of his foot wraps
and make him dancing naked.
This snake troubles people.
Here, eat.
Listen, Bumbarash, go
to my self-defence.
Gavrila, you have your own
interests,
and I have mine.
What do you mean?
I'm trying to do my beat
for the whole village.
I want them to sleep well, eat well,
drink well.
And I have enough.
I mean my house,
my workhouse, my statuettes,
my cow, my calf, my pig...
Look, I have such a beautiful wife!
Varya!
Take the high boot off
the samovar.
Come on, take it off.
Let me take it.
Come on, play something.
Oh, dear God!
I was on the theatre of war,
Oh, dear God!
I was killing enemies,
Oh, dear God!
I turn the cannon into the sky,
give a blow, spit, pull the cord...
And, of course, I miss!
Oh, dear God!
I was on the theatre of war,
Oh, dear God!
I was behind enemy lines,
Oh, dear God!
For the military purpose they send
Someone who is crafty.
So they sent me!
I swear, I'm not lying,
Oh, dear God!
I'm flying on the air-balloon.
Oh, dear God!
Like an angel I see everything
From the sky.
Like an angel I see everything
From the sky.
Fat German is drinking hot cocoa.
I couldn't take it,
Oh, dear God!
I take the German on sight,
Oh, dear God!
Bugger me! How could you,
Fucking German, drink cocoa without me?
Bugger me! How could you,
Fucking German, drink cocoa without me?
Go away!
- Go away!
- Yeah, of course.
Oh, dear God!
Varya!
I'm going to bring you
fruit drops.
Give it to your mother
and your sisters.
You know, I was thinking
about something.
I have a bomb
and about 5 guys.
We will prepare a rebellion.
We will waste Gavrila
as a harmful element.
And then we will enter
the Red Army.
A rebellion? What do you
know about it?
You'll teach us!
- We will fight for this kind of life...
- For palaces and fountains?
And steam heating?
You will have a tea on your balcony
with... You know, how do they call it?
Stop it!
I finished fighting, Yasha.
Have you ever been concussed?
Have you fed lice in the trenches?
Have you swung with a naked ass
under the bayonet?
Have you drown in the swamp?
Have you ever been shot
with a parabellum?
And at the same time
they were drinking hot cocoa!
What's wrong with you?
Here, take it. My blouse
to your star!
Are you all right?!
Yashka, Bumbarash,
where are you going?
Take it, I'm telling you!
Where are you off to?!
Give me one minute of
Rest and peace.
Give me one minute
To rest my mind,
To listen to nightingale,
To look at the sky.
Oh, I don't have enough time!
People don't give me enough time.
Oh, I don't have enough time!
I don't have enough time,
People don't give me enough time.
But people let me
Sleep deadly.
But people let me
Sleep deadly.
Is it you,
is it really you?
- Alive, alive!
- I'm alive.
Go away, gangsters will see you!
Be quick!
- Let's go away together!
- I can't.
I feel good with you,
Bumbarash.
I don't need anything,
but to be with you together.
To ooze, to freeze, to anguish,
but with you.
Let's run away right now.
He will shoot my mother and my sisters,
he has already threatened me.
I didn't want to marry him,
I was waiting for you.
He set our hut on fire,
he poisoned our ow,
then he put it out and took me
for this...
Varvara! What is going on
right there?
Stay put!
- Who is it?
- It's me, Bumbarash.
Let me wash myself.
Did you see her?
- Who did that to you?
- Pour it.
Oh, my God,
Gavrilka!
I have no complaints to you,
live here, use it.
I will go away, let me just
lie up.
In the hayloft.
I will throw something to you.
If they ask, say that
I have gone to Rossoshansk.
I'll tell them everything.
It's me.
- Why are you naked?
- My mother has confiscated my pants.
She says I'll run to you,
so they'll find out where you are.
And what is Gavrila doing?
He has driven all the men
and old men. He is trying to find
some bump or bruise.
He tells, if I find
I'll kill.
- And?
- He hasn't found anything.
He hasn't?
They are going door to door.
So what is there? Is there anyone?
No one!
Do you think he is stupid?
Then come here.
My mother wanted to tell you
that Varka was guarding Gavrila.
Don't smoke, they'll find you.
Don't smoke, don't breathe,
don't live...
- I'll go away tonight.
- And will you take me?
- You can't go without pants
- I'll fix it.
And who was that damsel?
The gang chieftain.
They say she is a granddaughter
of Stepan Razin.
She doesn't speak Russian.
And what is her name?
Sofia, I think.
I don't remember.
Bring me something
to drink.
There are horses
Above the river.
The horses are looking for watering.
They don't go to the river,
The bank is too steep.
There are no flat hollows,
No little paths,
So what the horses are going
To do?
The horses want to drink.
And a cream-coloured horse
Has jumped from
This damned
Cliff.
This blue river
Is too deep.
Yashka!
Yashka!
Yashka!
Bumbarash!
Bumbarash!
Bumbarash, it's me.
Run away as soon as possible!
They are looking for you.
Run away, please,
run away!
Yashka made a revolution,
he threw a bomb.
They killed Shurka.
Run away.
- Are you cold?
- No.
Shame on you! How come?
I'm guilty cause they didn't kill me.
Go away.
Go away and watch out
so they won't kill you.
Go away.
- Go away.
- Ok.
I'm going to give you a butt.
Shame on you, Barashka-Bumbarashka.
Run away.
Where?
Here, take it,
nights are cold.
He will punish you for this.
Take it, he has stolen enough.
Stay put!
- Are you leaving?
- Yes.
Well, go.
- Stay up!
- What's up?
- Who did that to you?
- One gangster.
Ok, go.
- Stay put!
- What?!
Listen, nobleman.
You have a nice greatcoat.
Give it to me. You don't need it.
Stay put!
Nazarovsky.
- You have something in your pockets.
- Throw it away!
- You forgot it!
- I don't need it.
Stop, I want to tell
you something.
What now?
Here!
You... I mean... Where
did you get it?
Where did you get it?
Our commissioner Nazarivsky was...
Go, scum!
Go!
Two factors...
Two product factors:
user value...
Two product factors:
user...
Stay put! Where are you going?
Holy crap!
Don't you see it?
We are going to the Chairman of the
division military court martial
department named after the Bastille
conquered by Parisian communards.
Stay put! There is a meeting there!
- What?
- Nothing.
Stay put! There is a meeting there!
Comrade commander, they ordered me
not to let strangers in.
Since when a criminal is a stranger?
Guard him. I'm going to report of him.
At the corner!
Death to the Whites!
I can't prove the greatcoat
not to be mine.
A bullet will prove it.
I'm friendly,
don't you see it?
On the contrary, I have suffered
from gangsters.
They will handle it.
- It will be hard to prove my innocence.
- Yes.
What do you read?
Capital: Critique of Political Economy.
Capital: Critique of Political Economy
by Karl Marx.
I skip images and tables,
but I key into a proletarian thing.
Understand?
- And what's the key?
- Look, holy shit!
I was in a white dress,
Everybody were dancing waltz.
I and a young adjunct
Were standing
At the window with
The shutters closed.
He was sufficiently
Shy and brave.
And then I by myself,
I by myself put out
An already bored chandelier.
And then I by myself,
I by myself put out
An already bored chandelier.
How pleasant
The intimate encounters are!
How pleasant
The kind talk is!
But put out, put out,
Please put out the candles,
If you want to fix the fire!
But put out, put out,
Please put out the candles,
If you want to fix the fire!
It's him! Bruise!
He is going to escape!
To the left, to the left!
He is going to escape!
He escaped!
Open up!
One second, boys,
one second!
Come here!
- What did you bring, young lady?
- My dowry.
As soon as the war come to an end,
I will marry some governor.
Don't worry, dear,
I won't harm you.
If only we spent your dowry on drink.
Where did you get this drapery?
From the train?
What's your interest?
None of your business!
I live a little out-of-the-world place, so
I don't know who is at the helm of state.
Whatever the regime is
I want to drink to my heart's content.
Bring the birdie here.
The health is yours,
the throat is ours.
Up!
You are welcome!
You can start.
He knocked at the door,
he asked to sleep overnight.
So I let him in.
Cause I'm a fighter against
domination and tyranny.
Get out of a place.
That's him!
As I can see he is hungry.
He said: "Give me a slice
of bread, please".
"Boy, I can give you more.
There are small sausage,
pork fat and sour cream in my basement.
Come on, go there,
I'm too old for this stuff.
I have a dicky heart
and bad back".
He goes there,
but I locked him up.
He started to
curse me, knock and bang on the door.
By the morning he calmed down.
So we meet again, Cock-a-doodle-doo.
You know what,
you killed Shurka with your
fucking bomb!
Gavriil!
Don't ruin our dinner!
I don't drink with gangsters.
Oh, I'm not a gangster! I am
an etoile, my sweetheart.
The etoile from Saint-Petersburg.
You know what does it mean?
There is no need for me to
use these bourgeois words.
I think aristocrats loved
your grandmothers.
I can say it looking at you.
Sweetheart, and aristocrats loved me.
Banker Rukavishnikov sent a carriage
for me,
when I was on tour
in Moscow.
I was so young!
He told me:
"Sofochka, don't you want to to go to the
right? There is the Bolshoi Theatre".
"No, I want to go to the left.
There is the Maly Theatre".
Yashka also likes to tell
fairytales,
but about bright future.
- Tell us.
- You, you...
Do you know, who I am?
She is a granddaughter of
Stepan Razin!
What, what?
You are a piece of shit!
Rascal!
Bury him.
Bury him alive.
Bury him.
Gavrila and Hamster.
Come on, right now!
Now!
Peace of shit! Rascal!
I am so adorable and
Incomparable.
And as you know,
I feel so comfortable.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is like a blizzard,
And we are wandering.
And we don't spend nights
Without each other,
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is a mystery,
And there is no solution.
At first it's sweet,
But then it's only torment.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Love is a poison,
Fate is a turkey,
Life is a monkey.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
I am so adorable and
Incomparable.
And as you know,
I feel so comfortable.
Je vous aime,
I want it to be like that.
Let's blow together on
The candle.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Heh, Yashka, Yashka!
Palaces and fountains.
A fairylike life...
I didn't go with you.
I'm tired.
I spent two years
in the trenches.
I wanted to live
without fighting.
And this is how
it all happened.
Run away from everyone,
hide from everyone.
And what could I
do out of the bushes?
It was like a concussion.
I was scared, Yashka.
I know it, I was scared.
Sorry me, Yasha.
Don't think, don't be scared,
rest in peace.
They will pay for it, Yasha!
I'm telling you,
I promise.
I will kill them as many times
as I'll meet them.
I will kill them as many times
as I'll meet them.
They will pay for it, Yasha!
I'm telling you,
I promise.

Episode 2
Bumbarashka!
Damn, you're alive!
Don't be sad.
Time will come and you'll find a much more
beautiful wife than Varka.
A palace for every family.
You'll drink tea with lemon
on the balcony.
Let's go fight for such
a life when...
I don't drink with bandits.
Ah, Yashka, Yashka!
Leave me a little.
Don't move!
What are you laughing at?
The moon can be seen
through your grenade.
Yes, indeed, it's empty.
My name is Lev Demchenko.
I can't survive here alone.
Mother used to pray for me
and beseech the Savior,
Used to kiss the cross
and bow without rest,
And her dear sonny is fated
a long travel,
Companies in diamonds
and an interest in spades.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,
and look for an answer.
A crane is flying in the skies...
Ah, where do I shelter?
Let me look about:
There’s a picket right ahead,
and a trap behind.
Yonder are the white, the green and
the golden shoulder-strapped,
And everyone has got
one think tank,
so do I.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,
and look for an answer.
A crane is flying in the skies...
Where I haven’t been to!
What I haven’t eaten:
Goosefoot, nettle, plantain,
and birch stir-about.
Only in the skies I have never
ever dinnered –
Savior, pray, forgive me,
for I’m gonna hang about.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas,
And who and whereto pulls me
on about the wide world,
And whereabouts a prize for me,
And whereabouts a trap for me -
Go wander, soldier,
and look for an answer.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
A crane is flying in the skies,
a sailor is to sail the seas.
We will destroy this reptile along
with the looted good.
We need to do this with
the whole gang.
- We must go to the Reds.
- I can't.
Because of this greatcoat?
Not all Reds are redhead.
I'll sit in the cellar,
he'll hang a bag.
At this time,
the gang will come.
And you will appear
with the Reds.
Then I'll sit in the cellar and
take them with my bare hands.
- I can't go to the Reds.
- Then let's make it together.
- I'll go and sit in the cellar.
- No, I will!
More step!
More step!
It seems this is Reds,
and their commander is ahead.
One cannon.
Something is cooking in the field kitchen,
smells like borsch.
Maybe join them?
Are there any redheads
among them?
Brunette, two blondes.
Another brunette.
Smells like borsch.
Let's do it as agreed.
And if you meet
that Redhead?
Then we'll avenge Yashka.
And then we'll see
what happens.
- Well, hold on for an hour.
- I will.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
- Take it.
You see how it all happens.
Now is troubled time.
How will it all end?
No one knows yet.
You don't know, I don't know,
no one knows.
Well, okay, let it be
as it should be.
And if something doesn't happen,
Moor, then it doesn't.
What are you looking at?
You look at me, but you don't
understand a thing.
Oh, you, Moor!
Hello, old man!
- What are you yelling about?
- I want to eat.
- Hello, son!
- Hello, old man!
Well, sit down, sit down.
Eat this honey with some bread.
What are you waiting for?
Eat!
What are you waiting for?
Thank you.
Thank you, old man.
You help a fighter against
the world counter-revolution.
No problem!
You're always welcome.
Oh, you Red Guard!
Maybe you want some
moonshine?
A moonshine? No.
What about homemade sausage,
lard, sour cream?
Then take it yourself
in the cellar.
- In the cellar?
- Yeah.
I would do it myself but, you know,
old age, my back and heart...
I'll do it myself.
Okay, go then.
Not there.
The cellar is there.
It's here?
No, go there.
There are a lard and
homemade sausage.
And cocoa?
- What?
- I said, cocoa too?
Red Guard!
Hey, soldier!
Why are you silent?
What are you doing over there?
I eat your sausage
with sour cream.
How is it?
I locked you up.
- Haven't you heard?
- I have.
So why are you silent?
Scream, swear!
I don't want to.
How's that?
Scream, swear!
I've locked you up.
No, I won't.
What does it mean?
Why you won't?
- Scream and swear!
- Okay.
I will swear.
Oh, you bastard!
- Oh, you reptile!
- That's better.
You dirty "Counter"!
You are a rascal!
Old rascal!
Why did you lock me up?
I'll smash all your cellar!
I'll tear your hair out!
Bastard!
- You, "Counter"...
- That's better.
You're a bloodsucker!
Hello, old man.
- Where is he?
- There. Where else he could be?
- What are you doing? Open it!
- Hell no!
Open it, or it'll be worse for you!
Destroy them all!
Give up!
Take that, you bastards!
Bumbarash, get out!
One second!
I survived!
Not him.
And where's that guy?
No, not him.
They left with their tails,
but you came with the stars.
- Here he is, a hero!
- Here he is, dearie!
This is your guy?
I heard that there were bandits
nearby, and I hid him.
You can rest, now I'll give you
a salty cabbage and a moonshine.
And where is the girl who
made dances in here? Sophia.
I don't know any Sophia.
All who have been,
are all here.
You see, even the boss
doesn't know.
Don't deceive us, we know that you have
a shelter here for bandits.
Jesus! What a shelter?
Right here.
Die, you hicks!
Die of hunger!
Of lice!
Leave it, old man.
He passed away.
Of greed.
In the bandit shelter,
which we destroyed,
we found a wearable
footwear.
Although it's not uniform,
but in good condition.
And almost not worn.
But, comrades...
it's only 29 pairs.
And 80% of us are
almost barefoot.
Therefore, I'll choose those who have
a particularly bad situation.
And then let them choose
between themselves.
So why select?
I have nothing at all!
It will be like I said!
- Where are your soles?
- They fell off while I was walking.
Step forward.
Stop.
Step forward.
Stop.
- Why did you miss me?
- Yours are good enough.
The revolution is being made
for final justice.
Brothers, what does
this mean?
Me and Bumbarash
found a bandit shelter,
we risked our lives and
received nothing for it?
God knows I'm not going
to do it again!
You will.
You will when I order you.
Step forward.
The cell decided that Party members
should not claim this.
I'm in shock.
All members of the party
are so conscious?
Yes.
Come on, lady, lift your leg.
Let's see if these expensive
shoes will suit you.
What's the matter?
Don't be afraid, Aunt Galya,
we won't hurt you.
We are Reds!
Take it all!
Will you stay?
I have to pay for Yashka
with Sonya and Gavrila.
Why so sad?
You'll go to the front, and the bandits
will come here.
- You'll go to the front?
- Yes.
Do you want to become
our nurse?
Agree?
- We'll take her as a nurse.
- I agree.
What are you doing?
She has a mother, sisters.
Gavrila will kill everyone.
- Do you agree?
- I do.
Shivers, you, bourgeois,
The last battle has come,
The entire poor class
Rose up against you.
He smiled, laughed,
And broke all the chains,
And he fights for freedom,
As a hero.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling,
Wait for me,
And I will come.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
For the whole country.
We will win, and the whole globe
Will become ours.
We'll Destroy the Prison,
and disperse all enemies,
We will build our world
Of Free Labor,
And we'll live
The commune of the world.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling,
Wait for me,
And I will come.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
For the whole country.
The last one.
The only option is to charge it
with corn cobs.
Levka, maybe we should
let him go?
It won't work.
He won't go, I know him.
- What are you talking about?
- Bumbarash!
- Look what the Whites have.
- Got it! I will.
We are surrounded on all sides,
there is only a swamp here.
- You'll take the document with you.
- What document?
Extraordinarily important one.
- I won't go!
- You will!
Give the first Red commander
you meet.
We can't do this.
You can pretend to be civilian,
so they won't find out.
Come on.
- Go!
- Remember me kindly.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
I will come
And I'll hold you,
If I won't die
In battle.
In that hard hour
For the working class
- For the whole country.
- Go!
Stop!
- Password?
- "Bomb".
- Answer?
- Borisoglebsk.
You can go.
"Bomb, Borisoglebsk".
Stop!
Hands up!
Hands!
I count to three: one, two...
Why are you breaking
the rules, soldier?
First you need to ask for
the password.
- Password?
- "Bomb".
Correct.
And I know the answer.
If you want to ask,
I'll tell you.
- Go.
- "Borisoglebsk".
Correct.
- Where are your shoulder straps?
- What shoulder straps?
So, in fact, the Commander-in-Chief
sent me to the rear
to the Reds.
With a particularly
important task.
Now I'm going back.
Give me a cigarette.
Yes, that's better.
Well, I gotta go.
- And where are you going?
- I'm going to the headquarters.
- So do I.
- Why for?
To give an important report.
- Show me.
- It's in me.
I'm a very practical person.
If the Reds catch me,
I won't have to eat a report.
I remember everything.
You're all lying.
Tell me something unusual!
Even with foreign words!
Okay.
Ein, zwein, drecht...
cocoa.
Amitu guri tsufari
pari driker biker locomotive.
I can do that - Ein, zwein, drecht,
cocoa.
Amitu guri tsufari
pari driker biker locomotive.
His Excellency Colonel Korn
calls me a foreign word -
a phenomenon.
In the mornings he gives me
a glass of vodka.
And he says: "You, Strigunov,
have a gift from God."
Say something else.
Aratara pan kana holo zolo
volo pelo tselo locomotive!
Aratara pan kana holo zolo
volo pelo tselo locomotive!
- Where is your headquarters?
- On the Semenov farms.
And yours?
There was a fire at night.
It seems the Reds burned
these farms.
You don't believe me?
Climb on the tree,
you'll see.
- Let me hold it.
- No.
- Give me your gun.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
- What's in your report?
I won't tell!
I count to three.
- One...
- No, I can't...
- Two...
- Listen, I can't, because of gift...
You sold your God's gift for a glass
of vodka, Phenomenon.
But I have nothing against
your personality.
I don't shoot at you,
but at the report that harmful
to our cause.
No! No!
Three!
- And where is the one that escaped?
- I don't know, Your Honor.
Give a water to horses.
Hey, who's there?
Should I throw a grenade
in there?
You just imagined it.
And I say, a grenade!
Your Honor, there are Reds.
Get on the horses!
Brother! Brother!
- Who's there?
- Help me, get me out.
I'm one of you, brother.
Stand!
And pray your bandit
mother of god.
On behalf of the revolutionary
tribunal
of Division of "the Bastille Taking
by the Paris Communards".
Stop!
Stop! I have a document!
This is extremely important,
from Chubatov.
From Chubatov?
"To the Red Commander".
"Live, Bumbarashka,
and remember us"
"in the happy future
of world communism".
- What's a Bumbarashka?
- It's me Bumbarashka.
Chubatov is the commander
of the 4th company?
- He is.
- Be silent!
And don't you dare touch
our comrades,
who died heroically with
your bandit words.
We'll deal with you.
We learn all about Nazarovsky,
and about the 4th company.
Sovkov!
You are responsible for him
personally!
Until we give him
to the authorized agent
of the Special Department.
If he escapes again, I'll kill you
with this gun.
- Got it?
- Got it!
Damn it, give me your hands!
Listen, Sovkov, take out
your rifle.
Go, damn it!
This is my village, it's such a shame
when the workers see this.
Peasant origin.
Take it out, I'm asking you.
You escaped once, but you
can't do it a second time.
Go, damn it!
It's sad!
- Michel.
- What?
- Someone from this village?
- Gavrila.
- And who else?
- Hamster.
- Call him.
- Hamster!
Your name.
- What's the matter?
- Come closer.
- Levon!
- Yes, madam?
Scissors.
For what, Your Excellency?
How many times have I told you
to call me Madame?
Madame!
I do this for your benefit, so that
you won't be recognized.
You go to the village
and poison the wells.
Leave me alone!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay...
Read to me, Sovkov.
Don't bother me, bandit.
- Varya!
- Back!
Stop, the wife of a bandit!
Not allowed!
- Why did they lock you up, Bumbarash?
- They suspect me.
Because of the greatcoat.
But I gave it to you...
They suspect me because
of that greatcoat
of the murdered commissar.
Get out of here!
Get out, damn it!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Saber, bullet, bayonets -
He's not afraid of anything.
You, darling, Wait for me...
Get off from there!
Get off from there, damn it!
It's me.
It's me!
I see this.
What "me"?
- I'm a great coat...
- You're a greatcoat?
Let Bumbarashka go,
it's my fault.
I gave him this greatcoat.
He didn't know anything.
- What greatcoat?
- Commissar of yours.
Comrade commander, he was caught
by local women, he poisoned the well.
- Did you poison the wells?
- Who? No one did.
What do you mean?
Sit down.
- Where did they catch him?
- On the square.
- Is it water from the square?
- Yes.
Give me some.
I won't say anything anyway.
Okay.
Drink.
- I won't tell you anything.
- Well done.
- Close the well.
- Yes.
Give me water from the outskirts.
From the outskirts?
Give me next one.
- Where is this water from?
- From the outskirts.
Or maybe from the square.
- So from the square or from the outskirts?
- Drink.
- Are you kidding me?
- Drink.
Until you tell me where this water
comes from, I won't drink it.
- And...
- Listen to me...
I won't say anything at all.
Remove it.
Stop! Where are you going?
- Let me go, the omelette will cool down.
- Stop, I'll shoot!
Let her go, Sovkov.
Otherwise, this omelette
will be on your face!
Do it!
Sovkov, don't be so strict.
And you, the suspect, eat,
rest before the arrival of
a special agent.
Oh, Jesus Christ...
What's going on here?
Half the squad has a stomach hurt!
We're all poisoned!
This one with a beard, is our headman,
he's from the gang.
And that is great!
Comrade Commander,
he's coming.
Stop!
More precisely.
Go!
Come on, faster!
Have you now become
a land builder?
We will put a quarantine tent.
- 136, Comrade Commander.
- Remeasure.
Kravchuk!
- How much did you count?
- 153!
That's better.
And why is this better?
According to the doctor's statute,
one can not approach
a poisoned person
closer than 150 steps.
Stop wandering around
the military facility!
Carefully!
Count accurately!
- Shall we finish this comedy?
- Follow the order.
- Get machine guns only at night.
- Yes.
Everybody's poisoned.
According to the doctor's statute,
they have quarantine.
It's a quarantine, my dear,
quarantine.
We'll start at dawn.
Attack the village of Dubki!
Decisive assault,
don't be greedy with the bullets!
The first blow to the tent,
the second - to the center.
Famously! Actively!
Gentlemen officers,
God is with you!
I'm with you.
Gavrila! You will take
the left flank.
And you, count,
take the right one.
Decisively!
Without delay!
Place the wagon in the center
of the position.
Let's go.
We'll defeat the Reds
with our bare hands!
Is this a war?
Let them come closer.
Gang!
Gang!
Stop, Sovkov!
Let me go!
Open it! Parasite!
Fire!
The record!
Where are you going?
Stop!
That's all.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Varya!
There are horses
Above the river,
The horses are looking
for watering.
They don't go to the river,
The bank is too steep.
There are no flat hollows,
No little paths,
So what the horses are going
To do?
The horses want to drink.
And a cream-coloured horse
Has jumped from
This damned cliff.
This blue river
Is too deep.
