Unknown Battle (2019) - full transcript

After several months of fierce fighting, the Red Army finally knocks the enemy out of the village of Ovsyannikovo, which costs huge losses - only a third of the personnel remain from the ...

Is that all‭?‬
‭- ‬That's right‭, ‬comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

I repeat once more‭,‬
Sergeant‭. ‬Let everyone know‭.‬

We attack without a fuss‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭.‬

No fuss‭.‬

I don't want to hear‭ "‬For the Homeland‭!",‬
‭"‬Hurray‭" ‬and the like‭. ‬Understood‭? -‬I understand‭!‬

There are too many new ones‭.‬
He will start shouting in fear‭.‬

No fuss‭.‬
Just be quiet‭.‬

Why‭? - ‬Thank the company commander
taking care of people‭.‬

The later the Germans notice us‭, ‬the bigger they are
us a chance to get to their trenches‭.‬

Vanjka‭, ‬what are you muttering‭?‬

Okay‭...‬



Yeliseyev‭.‬

Shit‭, ‬why are you sitting here‭?‬
‭- ‬My five-legged fell off‭.‬

Five-legged‭!‬
Be careful not to lose your head‭.‬

Get ready‭.‬
Faster‭!‬

Quiet‭, ‬boys‭ ...‬

‭DEDICATED TO FIGHTERS AT RJEVO‭‬

‭MEMORY OF VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE
FIGHTED TO PROTECT PEACE AND JUSTICE‭‬

Hooray‭!‬

Vitjok‭? -‬Ah‭?‬
‭- ‬Do you have a bomb‭? ‬Throw it away‭.‬

Give me the bomb‭!‬

Holding‭!‬

Hooray‭!‬

Fire away‭!‬

Hooray‭!‬



Shoha‭, ‬are you alive‭?‬
Get up‭!‬

You're alive‭?‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Faster‭! ‬Faster‭!‬

Faster‭, ‬faster‭, ‬guys‭ ...‬

Fire away‭!‬

Follow me‭. -‬OK‭.‬
‭-‬Here we go‭.‬

Bastards‭!‬

‭‬R Z H E V‭‬

So how are you‭?‬
‭- ‬No‭, ‬we're still alive‭.‬

The Germans seem to have retreated‭,‬
comrade politruk‭.‬

We can burn‭, ‬brothers‭.‬

To be honest‭, ‬guys‭, ‬we had
crazy luck while capturing this village‭.‬

What do you mean‭, ‬we had crazy luck‭?‬

That's right‭.‬

We pushed them out with live meat‭.‬

And the fighting spirit‭?‬

And elan‭?‬

Only with zeal‭, ‬comrade politruk‭,‬
we won't get far‭.‬

If we continue every day‭ ...‬

to lose so many people‭ ...‬

we will never get to Berlin‭?‬
‭- ‬I order your stepmothers to shut up‭.‬

I'm sick without you‭.‬

I can shut up‭.‬
‭-‬Do you hear‭?‬

Philosophers‭.‬
What were you before the war‭?‬

Accountant in the collective farm‭.‬

Our collective farm‭ ... ‬A large village‭.‬
In the middle of the village‭, ‬a lake‭.‬

In it in the winter‭, ‬the accountant‭,‬
and the eggs freeze‭.‬

What‭?‬
‭-‬Get it over here‭.‬

I don't envy your president‭,‬
Stepmother‭, ‬in general‭.‬

Comrade politruk‭,‬
to sniff a little around the huts‭?‬

Maybe we can find something‭.‬

The kitchen still won't arrive before dark‭.‬

I do not know‭. ‬Report to the company commander
that you are here‭.‬

If he allows‭, ‬go ahead‭.‬

I'm running‭.‬

Philosophers‭.‬

Is it my fault that they are all cannons
destroyed‭? - ‬I see they were destroyed too‭.‬

We will try two destroyed
make one functional‭.‬

Follow me‭! -‬Tell Tatar
let's go check the well‭.‬

About losses and the remaining amount
ammunition report in 10‭ ‬minutes‭.‬

What we do know is that they are Lieutenant Komarin
and senior sergeant Pavlenko were killed‭.‬

The freaks seem to have underestimated us‭.‬
They did‭.‬

We have taken the village‭, ‬but it is still too much
early for rejoicing‭.‬

Look‭.‬

This is Usovo‭.‬
This is Panovo‭.‬

There are Germans in both‭.‬

And here in the middle is our Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

We bother them like a rotten tooth‭.‬

If our people don't take over soon
Usovo or Panovo‭,‬

we are not well written‭, ‬brethren‭. ‬The Germans did
angry and will try to bring us back‭.‬

Sisoev‭! -‬Ah‭?‬
‭- ‬You'll replace Komarin‭. -‬I understand‭.‬

Lavrov‭.‬
‭-‬Yes‭.‬

You will replace the younger lieutenant Pavlenko‭.‬

We place in all places
the most resourceful fighters‭.‬

Oganesjan‭, ‬barbed wire
should be moved to the end of the village‭.‬

We don't have any obstacles‭, ‬trenches‭ ...‬
Nothing‭.‬

Lavrov‭, ‬place the wounded in one
from the hut‭. ‬Where it is cleanest‭.‬

Sisoev‭, ‬organize a guard‭.‬

Be careful in a ruined church‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭.‬

To work‭, ‬boys‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭.‬

See how this is done‭,‬
comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

Everything is of good quality‭.‬
They can do it‭, ‬you bastards‭.‬

Yes‭, ‬Karcev‭.‬

I'm afraid this village has cost us
half a company‭.‬

Yes‭.‬

So Machihin was right‭.‬

We had crazy luck at
capture of Ovsjanjikov‭.‬

Komarin was killed‭.‬

He was replaced by Sergeant Sisoev‭.‬

And I'm appointing you department commander
in your water‭.‬

It's not for me‭, ‬old comrade
lieutenant‭. ‬Let me refuse‭.‬

I think I would be
more useful as your courier‭.‬

And why don't you want to be a commander‭?‬

I have never been a leader in my life‭.‬
That is‭, ‬boss‭.‬

Kostya‭, ‬get rid of those of yours
thieving manners‭.‬

You are no longer a criminal‭.‬
‭-‬Of course I am not‭.‬

Working class‭.‬
I worked in the capital‭.‬

It's not my fault I worked at
unprofitable end‭, ‬in Marina Rosca‭.‬

Have you heard of that area in Moscow‭?‬
‭-‬I did‭.‬

There if you are not a thief‭, ‬you will not
ovaditi‭. - ‬All right‭, ‬you'll be my courier‭.‬

I understand‭.‬

What about you‭, ‬soldier‭?‬
‭-‬Zhurkin‭.‬

Why are you yelling so much‭?‬
Are you hurt‭?‬

I‭ ...‬

I crawled up to him‭,‬
and he raised his hands‭ ...‬

A‭ ...‬
And then he just slipped‭ ...‬

There‭.‬

I‭ ...‬
I did not want to‭...‬

I did not want to‭.‬

Uh‭, ‬shit‭.‬

You set it up well‭.‬

He is a hairdresser from Bryansk‭.‬
He was very happy at the recruitment‭.‬

Karcev‭, ‬it's not good‭.‬
Do you have alcohol‭? -‬Ah‭?‬

Do you have alcohol‭?‬
‭- ‬That's exactly what I thought‭, ‬Commander‭.‬

Not a sip‭, ‬not a piece of bread‭. ‬Allow
me to judge a little by the huts‭.‬

Maybe I'll find some tobacco
or some can‭.‬

Havcik will not arrive before dark‭.‬
‭- ‬All right‭, ‬go‭.‬

Let someone take over Zhurkin‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭.‬

Then come to me‭. ‬Be careful
around the ruined church‭.‬

Don't worry‭, ‬comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

Wait a minute‭.‬

Barkov‭!‬
Dad‭!‬

What is it‭?‬
‭-‬Come here‭?‬

The party is very bad‭.‬
He needs help‭.‬

What can I do‭?‬
Without arms and legs‭.‬

The commander entrusted me with the task‭.‬
Now I am his courier‭.‬

ABOUT‭!‬
Take a look at‭.‬

He asked Fric Zhurkin to cut his hair‭,‬
and he shaved it‭.‬

Mother of God‭ ...‬

Do you have‭...‬

Give him alcohol if you have it‭, ‬it will be easier for him‭.‬
‭- ‬Go‭, ‬you fool‭.‬

I remember‭, ‬once‭, ‬when it was moving
in the first fight against the Germans‭,‬

it was much more serious‭.‬
She wore clean clothes‭ ...‬

The priest served a prayer‭ ...‬

Letters were written to their own‭.‬

And now they just push the fools into the fire‭.‬
No previous reconnaissance‭.‬

And he could have been here
the whole battalion of friars‭.‬

They would cut us all down‭.‬

At once‭.‬

Forgive me a sinner‭.‬

Leave him‭. ‬What do you need‭?‬
‭- ‬Here's another one‭.‬

Take it‭, ‬take it‭!‬
‭-‬Okay‭.‬

Weapons and ammunition in the dugout‭.‬
‭- ‬Did you pick up the documents‭? -‬What‭?‬

Did you pick up the documents‭?‬
‭-‬Only 10‭ ‬Red Army men‭. -‬Okay‭.‬

Faster‭, ‬faster‭, ‬guys‭.‬
‭-‬Oh well‭. ‬Let me report‭.‬

Private Ivan Basov completed the inspection
officer's hut‭.‬

6‭ ‬cans of food were found‭,‬
3‭ ‬boxes of biscuits‭, ‬bacon‭ ...‬

Yup‭...‬
‭- ‬One piece is really big‭.‬

Brandy is foreign‭.‬
One bottle‭.‬

So‭ ... ‬You're late‭, ‬Kostik‭.‬
It's too late‭.‬

We'll see who's late‭, ‬Vanjatka‭.‬

Yeah‭ ... - ‬I still have
time to eat it all‭.‬

Yeah‭ ... - ‬And you‭?‬
‭-‬What‭? -‬Make a list‭.‬

You certainly won't get the prize‭.‬

What‭?‬
‭- ‬What you heard‭.‬

The company commander suggested
six for medals‭.‬

And me and Zhurkin‭, ‬as fighters who fought
highlighted in the fight he was nominated for the Order‭.‬

So if someone is late‭,‬
Vanjatka‭, ‬then it's you‭.‬

Yeah‭ ... ‬Look‭, ‬Kostik‭,‬
if you lied to me‭,‬

I'll stuff that hat in one place‭.‬

Understood‭? -‬Yup‭.‬
‭-‬And one more thing‭.‬

Listen‭.‬
‭-‬Ah‭?‬

He doesn't teach his father how to laugh‭.‬
‭- ‬Oh‭, ‬wear it‭.‬

Aj‭, ‬Vanjuإ‮!‬a‭ ...‬

There is no brandy or tobacco for you today‭.‬

Oh‭, ‬oh‭, ‬oh‭ ...‬

Oh‭, ‬Vanjatka‭.‬

It's not your day today‭.‬

Hurry up‭.‬

Are you alive‭, ‬baby‭?‬

Alive‭.‬

Did you find anything‭.‬
‭-‬I did‭.‬

Sergeant Sisoev ordered me
to pick up the dead Germans‭.‬

And I'm scared‭.‬

You are scared‭?‬

Here is‭.‬
Pick up some brandy‭.‬

You'll warm up a little‭. ‬Come on‭, ‬come on‭!‬
Come on‭!‬

Ooo‭! ‬Ha‭.‬

How old are you‭?‬

17‭. -‬What‭?‬
-17‭.‬

I added a year to myself‭.‬
‭- ‬Why the hell‭?‬

Almost our whole class did that
to go to the front‭.‬

And I‭.‬

Everyone was afraid that the war would end
in a year we won't make it‭.‬

Of course‭.‬

Okay‭.‬

I will help you‭. -‬Yup‭.‬
‭-‬Pioneer‭ ...‬

So why did you stop‭?‬

Come on‭, ‬take it‭.‬

Oh well‭.‬
Slowly‭.‬

Come on‭.‬

Never mind‭.‬
Well done‭.‬

First fight‭, ‬and you weren't scared‭.‬

I saw you charge‭,‬
you did not lag behind‭.‬

Well‭, ‬I was scared‭, ‬scared‭ ..‬

How else‭.‬

That's why I didn't lag behind‭.‬

What I feared most was that I would not be able to
shoot a living German‭.‬

So I didn't fire any
bullets throughout the fight‭.‬

And that he will kill you‭?‬

Weren't you afraid of that‭?‬

Come on‭.‬
‭- ‬I didn't‭ ...‬

he thought‭.‬

You didn't think‭.‬

Whoops‭!‬
I wanted to ask you something‭.‬

Where are you from‭?‬
A‭?‬

From Moscow‭.‬

Prva Meإ!ؤçanska‭.‬

My mother‭...‬
Well‭, ‬then we are countrymen‭.‬

And I think‭, ‬how do you know me‭?‬

And I'm from Treؤáa Meإ!ؤçanska‭.‬

Karcev Kostik‭.‬

Viktor Somov‭.‬

So‭, "‬Uranus‭", "‬Forum‭", ‬and‭ "‬Dig‭"‬
are our cinemas‭, ‬countrymen‭.‬

Where did you go most often‭?‬
‭- ‬Probably in the Forum‭.‬

Aaa‭ ...‬
A leti‭ ...‬

They played jazz in the garden‭.‬
Dances‭ ...‬

‭It spins‭, ‬the blue ball spins
It turns‭, ‬spins overhead‭‬

You drink beer‭, ‬and go to the movies‭.‬

Those were good times‭.‬

Are you crazy‭?‬

Sisoich‭!‬

And I got brandy‭.‬

Catfish‭!‬

You didn't understand my order‭?‬

Come on‭, ‬guys‭.‬
Take a sip‭.‬

Because today is Narkomzdrav
defeated Narkomzem‭.‬

Leave‭!‬

Karcev‭, ‬I don't understand‭, ‬what are you doing here‭?‬

Where did you get this‭?‬

Basov honored me with a trophy‭.‬

Pull a little‭, ‬I'm not thirsty‭.‬
‭-‬Storage‭!‬

My people will not drink this German filth‭.‬

Why are you standing‭?‬

Access the battlefield equipment‭.‬

What's not clear‭?‬
‭-‬I understand‭!‬

What's the matter with you‭, ‬Sergeant‭?‬

Don't you want to after all this
calm your nerves a little‭?‬

I saw how pale you were on occasion
last attack‭.‬

I turned white with rage‭.‬

I'm not nervous at all‭.‬
Understood‭?‬

In combat‭, ‬a fighter does not need this‭.‬

You're wrong‭, ‬Sergeant‭.‬
‭-‬No story‭.‬

And remember‭, ‬Karcev‭.‬

I am now a platoon commander‭.‬

And I'm the commander's courier‭.‬

And what do we do now‭?‬

Go to hell‭.‬

Code of the company commander‭.‬

As you wish‭.‬
It's mine to offer you‭.‬

‭Where is that street‭, ‬where is that home‭ ...‬

So‭, ‬dog‭ ...‬

Go‭, ‬it won't break‭.‬
‭- ‬Don't yell‭.‬

What do you think‭, ‬Yevgeny Ilyich‭?‬

Will the Germans try to drive us out‭?‬
this night‭?‬

This night‭?‬
I think he will try it much earlier‭.‬

Then why did they leave the village to us‭?‬

They didn't estimate the extent of our attack well‭,‬
so they withdrew‭.‬

The most important thing is for our people to take Usovo‭.‬
Why back off now‭?‬

We are fighting unprofessionally‭.‬

When we attacked‭,‬
both villages were to be attacked‭.‬

Then the third village would remain
literally in the background

and the Germans would have to retreat‭.‬
And like this‭ ...‬

Don't panic a little too soon‭,‬
comrade senior lieutenant‭?‬

What has panic got to do with it‭?‬

IقÄôm just trying to be objective
see things‭.‬

And when my hands tremble with fear‭,‬

I try not to pass it on to others‭.‬

You have right‭.‬

When I notice that one of the soldiers
breaks the rules‭, ‬blurs before my eyes‭.‬

But when I‭, ‬a Red Army soldier‭,‬
take away half the body‭,‬

it totally darkened before my eyes‭.‬

The battle is long over‭ ...‬

And my hands are still shaking‭.‬

I'm trying to gather all my strength
into a clenched fist‭.‬

Volga‭, ‬Volga‭, ‬this is Oka‭.‬
Do you hear me‭?‬

Want to show that you are better than others‭?‬

Why‭? -‬Volga‭, ‬Volga‭,‬
this is Oka‭. ‬Do you hear me‭?‬

Do you hear me‭?‬

That is‭, ‬among other things‭, ‬my task‭.‬

Yes that is right‭.‬
‭-‬Yes‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭ ... - ‬Yes‭?‬
‭- ‬The deputy battalion commander is in touch‭.‬

Yes‭, ‬it's me‭, ‬Comrade Captain‭.‬
Let me give you a report‭.‬

The settlement of Ovsjanjikovo is in
completely cleansed of Germans‭.‬

That's right‭.‬

Only with rifles‭.‬
‭- ‬Semyonov‭, ‬come here‭! -‬What is it‭?‬

What is it‭?‬
‭- ‬Do you see this shame‭?‬

Take it all off‭. -‬Yup‭.‬
‭- ‬Take off that German filth‭! ‬Take it off‭.‬

For degtjareve we have three full sets‭.‬
For the fourth we will somehow gather‭.‬

There‭, ‬under the bed‭.‬
‭- ‬We did not use anti-tank ammunition‭.‬

So that the grenade caliber 14.7‭ ‬mm‭.‬
we have quite enough‭.‬

And a grenade caliber 20‭ ‬mm‭. ‬we have enough‭.‬
Just this‭, ‬comrade captain‭.‬

I have big losses‭.‬
I lost half the company‭.‬

I understand all that‭,‬
comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

We sent it to you as help
two machine guns‭.‬

When they reach you‭, ‬set them on
left wing and support us with fire‭.‬

Comrade Captain‭, ‬I don't need it
machine guns‭. ‬Send me a pair of 45s‭.‬

Because trapped cannons are not suitable
to fight‭. - ‬Company commander from Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

Battalion Commander Larionov on the line‭.‬
Listen to me‭, ‬senior lieutenant‭.‬

Support the attack on Usovo with fire
from a machine gun‭.‬

And if necessary‭, ‬you will leave
in attack with his fighters‭.‬

Did you understand me‭? -‬Comrade Lieutenant Colonel‭,‬
I only have half a company left‭.‬

I didn't ask you‭, ‬senior lieutenant‭,‬
how many people do you have left‭.‬

I asked you if you understood the order‭.‬

I understood the order‭,‬
comrade lieutenant colonel‭.‬

Well‭, ‬guys‭ ...‬
How's our razor‭?‬

He came to life‭?‬
He's still shaking‭.‬

I'm all right‭.‬
‭-‬Then set the table‭. ‬Help yourself‭.‬

Canned‭ ... - ‬Me‭. -‬Fascist‭.‬
‭- ‬Look at this‭. -‬Two pieces‭. ‬Oh well‭!‬

Where did you get that‭, ‬Kostik‭?‬
‭- ‬There's no more where I took it‭.‬

If it weren't for Bass‭, ‬I would have brought more‭.‬

So‭ ...‬
‭- ‬We also have a cookie‭.‬

Did that gorilla overtake you‭?‬
‭-‬It's nothing‭.‬

I crossed him a little too‭.‬
‭- ‬Let someone think of us too‭.‬

We didn't eat anything all day‭.‬

Creeping midfielders‭, ‬huh‭?‬

They pulled the wire‭, ‬and no one remembered
to bring something to eat‭.‬

You fantasize too much‭.‬

Nothing will surely arrive before dark‭.‬
‭-‬That's right‭.‬

You have to survive until tonight‭.‬

So‭, ‬comrades‭, ‬what is the morale‭?‬

I am well‭.‬

What can morality be‭?‬
None‭.‬

When the freaks kick us out of here‭, ‬there is a yes
they kill us like rabbits when we run away‭.‬

I'll give you an escape‭. ‬I don't want any more
hear stories like this‭, ‬Barkov‭.‬

You have seen for yourself‭, ‬comrades‭,‬
that it is possible to sue the Germans‭.‬

Where are our cannons‭?‬
Why don't we have 45s‭?‬

There will also be 45‭.‬
It will arrive when it gets dark‭.‬

We have a pile of ammunition‭.‬

Let's wait until dark‭, ‬comrades‭.‬

Faster‭, ‬brothers‭, ‬faster‭.‬
Take the rifle‭.‬

The machine guns will do the job‭.‬

If they arrive‭.‬

Come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬
Come on‭, ‬brothers‭.‬

Bastards‭.‬
They sieve on two sides‭.‬

Bend down‭, ‬brothers‭!‬

They got up‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Follow me‭!‬

You live in‭! -‬Yes‭.‬
‭-‬Let's help them‭. ‬Here we go‭.‬

Faster‭, ‬faster‭!‬

Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬
‭-‬Come on‭, ‬take it‭.‬

Over here‭, ‬over here‭!‬
‭-‬Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬

Hold on‭, ‬hold on‭ ...‬
‭-‬I have it‭.‬

How was the trip‭?‬
‭- ‬Oh‭, ‬wear it‭. -‬Karcev‭!‬

Hurry to the headquarters hut‭. ‬Let me know
to the commander that the machine guns had arrived‭.‬

I'll be right there‭. ‬Which hut‭?‬
‭- ‬The other one on the left‭.‬

There are wounded in the back‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Sergeant‭, ‬how are you‭?‬
‭-‬I'm all right‭.‬

Come on‭, ‬I'll take you to the left wing‭.‬

One soldier was killed‭.‬
‭- ‬Yes‭, ‬I saw it‭.‬

Party‭, ‬don't stand there‭.‬
Join the team on the machine gun‭.‬

Put yourself under the command of a sergeant‭ ...‬
‭-‬Ushakov‭.‬

Ushakov‭.‬
Come with me‭.‬

Come on‭, ‬boy‭, ‬help‭.‬
You won't be bored with us‭.‬

Let's go to the left wing‭.‬
Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬

What are you learning‭?‬
Hurry up‭!‬

So they will try to take Usovo‭.‬

Why does everything go so inexplicably‭?‬

We occupied the village‭, ‬and how many people
the rest there‭?‬

A few of them‭. ‬They need help‭, ‬a
there is none‭. ‬We need cannons‭, ‬and there are none‭.‬

What are they thinking upstairs at headquarters‭.‬

If the village falls into their hands‭,‬
they will blame us for it‭.‬

What is it‭, ‬Catfish‭?‬
Comrade guides‭ ...‬

Have you known Karcev for a long time‭?‬

About ten days‭. ‬Since the formation of the unit‭.‬
Why do you ask‭?‬

Of course‭, ‬he's not a premium‭,‬
but he is a good fighter‭.‬

It seems to me that it is not‭. ‬I'm convinced he is
it is not what it pretends to be‭.‬

Please‭?‬

And‭ ... ‬You started a fire‭?‬
Well done‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭,‬
machine guns arrived‭.‬

Oooo‭ ... ‬Finally‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

When it comes to food‭, ‬we are weak‭.‬

But there was a bottle of brandy‭.‬

Shall we take a sip‭?‬

For the rest of our souls‭?‬

What are you sitting on‭, ‬midfielder‭.‬
Help yourself‭. ‬Come on‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬
‭-‬Yes‭?‬

What were you before the war‭?‬

I‭, ‬Karcev‭, ‬was in charge
an engineer in a mine‭.‬

Aaa‭ ... ‬How come‭? ‬You were the boss‭,‬
and you have no ambition for anything more‭?‬

And Sisoev doesn't have a single day as he is
became a commander‭, ‬and is already harassing people‭.‬

He got hold of the authorities‭.‬

Well‭, ‬Karcev‭, ‬come with me‭.‬

Let's check what it is
occurs on the left wing‭.‬

Why have you been silent so far‭?‬
‭-‬I was not sure‭.‬

But today when he said he was from Moscow‭,‬
all the dice came together‭.‬

It's not going to work out‭.‬

And the commander took him as his courier‭.‬

Like this‭...‬
Don't tell anyone about this‭.‬

I'm going to the commander‭. ‬Understood‭?‬
I understand‭!‬

Well‭? ‬What's new with you‭?‬
‭- ‬The attack on Usovo has begun‭.‬

Hooray‭!‬

Sergeant‭, ‬I order you‭.‬
Support the attack with machine gun fire‭.‬

I'm afraid that doesn't make sense‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭, ‬it's too much
far‭. ‬It is more than a kilometer and a half‭.‬

We'll just find out our position‭.‬
‭- ‬Didn't you hear the order‭, ‬Sergeant‭?‬

It is my duty to help you‭,‬
comrade commanders‭.‬

But if we find out the position of the machine gun‭,‬
The Germans will easily eliminate them‭.‬

How do we repel their attack‭?‬
‭- ‬Sergeant‭!‬

Open fire on Usovo‭!‬

Fire away‭!‬

It may last‭, ‬but it's a fire in the air
is really fierce‭.‬

It's not the most important thing‭.‬

The surprise factor‭, ‬that's it
which they do not have‭.‬

The Germans are not us
expected here this morning‭.‬

But there they prepared properly‭.‬

Are they retreating‭?‬

Commander‭? -‬Let's move
submachine guns in reserve‭?‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭!‬

Commander‭!‬

Fire away‭!‬

Commander‭!‬
‭-‬What's he doing‭? -‬I do not know‭.‬

I need to talk to you‭.‬

Remove the machine guns‭! ‬Faster‭!‬
‭-‬Faster‭!‬

Guys‭, ‬lie down‭!‬

Sisoev‭!‬

Politruk‭!‬
Don't you see‭?‬

Grenades‭! ‬Quickly take cover‭!‬
‭- ‬Get in the bunker‭! ‬Faster‭!‬

Here we go‭!‬

Come on‭!‬
Get up‭! ‬Get up‭! ‬Get up‭!‬

Foot‭! ‬Foot‭!‬

Foot‭!‬
You are‭!‬

Foot‭! ‬Foot‭! ‬Foot‭!‬

Vanja‭, ‬here's your leg‭!‬
Take it easy‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭,‬
he needs a paramedic‭.‬

I know‭.‬
Push him to the ground‭!‬

Hold him‭.‬

I don't want to die‭.‬

Paramedic‭! ‬Stretcher‭! ‬Hurry up‭!‬
‭-‬I understand‭! -‬Faster‭!‬

Sanja‭, ‬end up without me‭.‬

‭Where is that home‭?‬

‭Where is that girl I fell in love with‭‬

‭Here's that street‭, ‬here's that home‭‬

‭Here is the girl I fell in love with‭‬

‭Here's that street‭, ‬here's that home‭‬

‭Here is the girl I fell in love with‭‬

When my grandmother

called her neighbor‭,‬

Uncle Grisha‭,‬

to slaughter her cow‭,‬

he appeared terribly hungover‭,‬
he was shaking‭.‬

So he says to her‭, "‬Pour me‭, ‬mother‭,‬
one brandy to come to myself‭. "‬

And what will the old woman do‭?‬
Who else to turn to‭? ‬There is no one‭.‬

She poured it for him‭.‬

And Grishka‭ ...‬

Get up‭.‬
without looking shakes the brandy

and headed for the barn‭.‬

When that‭, ‬brandy hit him in the head

‭"‬Oh‭!" ‬She thought‭, "‬None of it‭."‬
And he‭, ‬the boy‭, ‬reached for a larger hammer

and swings it‭ ...‬

And you‭, ‬Karcev‭, ‬complain that you survived‭.‬
Where's my brandy‭?‬

Put the wounded boys together
with paramedics‭.‬

Piece by piece‭.‬

So‭ ... ‬Uncle Grisha took that hammer
and swings‭ ...‬

And he slapped the cow on the head with all his might‭.‬

And the hammer just bounces
and slaps him on the head‭.‬

And so everything goes wrong‭.‬

Grandma yells‭, ‬yells
he and the cow are just torturing‭.‬

Comrade Lieutenant Colonel‭, ‬attack on Usovo
failed‭.‬

We have big losses‭.‬

The Germans opened fire on Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

He will probably try to get the village back‭.‬

Maybe they should be sent help‭.‬

Here comes the 30th Army‭.‬

Rocket launchers‭, ‬tanks‭ ...‬
The offensive is just about to begin‭.‬

Maybe in a day or two‭,‬
and maybe at all‭ ...‬

They should know when‭. ‬I would send them
the first company‭, ‬the 45s and what else‭.‬

And I don't know anything‭.‬
I have to wait‭.‬

Everyone is waiting‭.‬

And while we wait‭,‬
they have to fend for themselves‭.‬

There will be no lineup‭.‬

Because I almost don't
when to line up‭.‬

Transfer to your lines word for word
as I told you‭.‬

An attack can start at any moment‭.‬

They know very well how many of us there are
the rest and what kind of weapons we have at our disposal‭.‬

We can't surprise them‭.‬
‭- ‬The Germans studied us very well‭.‬

They saw each of us through the sights‭.‬
‭-‬That's right‭.‬

The Fritzes must think we're going to retire‭.‬

They think it will be better for us‭.‬

But‭...‬

I'm afraid we won't get any reinforcements‭.‬

In short‭, ‬brothers‭ ... ‬We can
rely only on your own strength‭.‬

The battle will be very difficult‭.‬

Attack from the air‭!‬

Attack from the air‭!‬

Don't yell‭, ‬Agafon‭, ‬it's a frame‭.‬

What frame‭?‬
‭- ‬German reconnaissance aircraft‭.‬

So‭, ‬they take care of us properly‭.‬

Lie down‭, ‬brothers‭, ‬the plane‭!‬
They will bomb us‭!‬

We just needed that‭.‬
Now we're screwed‭.‬

It's as if we haven't grabbed it yet‭.‬
Have we rested so far‭?‬

It's like he's on the front line here by now
any resort‭.‬

Your mommy‭! ‬Did you miss the bombs‭?‬
‭- ‬God‭, ‬what a circus‭.‬

Philosopher‭, ‬you haven't been to a circus in a long time‭?‬

To be honest‭, ‬never‭.‬

And I was‭.‬

I also saw trained monkeys‭.‬

By God‭, ‬they look like us‭.‬
‭-‬Ha‭.‬

As people‭, ‬so by God‭.‬

What kind of papers do they throw away‭?‬

Food‭.‬

Food in exchange for the homeland‭.‬

Propaganda‭, ‬boys‭.‬

But this time Germany‭.‬

They guarantee life to all who are
they surrender voluntarily‭.‬

They even send passes‭.‬
‭-‬You do not say‭.‬

Don't bother‭, ‬Vanjatka‭.‬
You better look at the pictures‭.‬

Aaa‭ ... -‬Yeah‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭. - ‬Don't touch the flyers‭!‬

Who does not listen‭ - ‬goes to military court‭!‬
Semyon‭, ‬pick up the flyers quickly‭!‬

Ha‭! ‬The command doesn't trust us‭.‬
They think that if we read what is written here

that we will surrender to the Germans immediately‭.‬

And when the Soviet government
did you trust the people‭? ‬Never‭.‬

Commissioners are still checking today
who we are and what we are‭.‬

Cut the tongue‭, ‬bookkeeper‭.‬

Not to run into some fool‭.‬
‭-‬Okay‭.‬

You must not read the leaflets‭!‬
Nor watch them‭!‬

And where to look when they are everywhere‭?‬

Shall we take our eyes out‭?‬
‭- ‬Come on‭, ‬Stepmother‭.‬

Get a helmet and help me‭.‬

Just donقÄôt read‭, ‬especially out loud‭.‬

And how to help you without them
we donقÄôt touch and we donقÄôt watch‭?‬

They won't shoot us after that‭,‬
comrade politruk‭? -‬Listen up‭...‬

Constantine‭, ‬why
are you making a fool of me‭?‬

I don't care that you're younger in rank‭.‬

I'll break you so you will
muzzle bloom‭.‬

At school‭, ‬I was involved‭, ‬among other things
and boxing‭. ‬I was even registered‭.‬

Whether‭? ‬And I thought you
only politics interests‭.‬

No one should touch the leaflets without my permission‭!‬

Why are you so afraid of these papers‭?‬

Well‭? ‬Do you really think they will
anyone who reads a flyer

to believe in the promises of the freaks‭?‬

Anything is possible‭, ‬Bass‭.‬
‭-‬Everything is possible‭.‬

I repeat‭!‬
Do not touch or read the leaflets‭!‬

Only I can collect them
and my assistants‭!‬

Gavryushkin and Flokin on the left‭.‬

Take Zimina with you‭.‬
Stepmother‭, ‬come on‭!‬

Shards‭, ‬hurry to the right‭.‬
Collect flyers‭.‬

Semyon‭, ‬I said don't read leaflets‭!‬
I said don't read them‭!‬

Funny‭.‬

We're under bullets together‭,‬
we eat from the same cauldron

and we don't trust each other‭.‬
How to live‭? ‬How to fight together‭?‬

There is no one to protect your back‭.‬
And Kostya‭?‬

Don't worry‭, ‬Vanjatka‭. ‬I will protect you‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Who else is coming to us‭?‬

God would know who was coming‭.‬

Start‭!‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Oh‭!‬

Who is this‭?‬

I'll take a look right away‭.‬
‭- ‬To your positions‭!‬

Watch out‭, ‬guys‭!‬

Did you hook up well‭?‬
‭- ‬The dog would know him‭.‬

Let me see‭.‬

Do not yell‭.‬

Your bone is not injured‭.‬

You will survive‭.‬
Wrap his arm‭.‬

Stop whining like a woman‭.‬

I do it‭, ‬guys‭, ‬out of luck‭.‬

Don't be mad at me‭.‬

I fought until further notice‭. -‬Yes
the statement is of vital importance to you‭.‬

Your wound is not serious‭.‬
‭- ‬I'd look forward to it too‭.‬

And who are you bringing us‭?‬

That's the head of the special department‭.‬
Junior Lieutenant Rikov‭.‬

And the food and the 45s will be waiting until midnight‭.‬

Where did that special man suddenly come from‭?‬

Why are you so surprised‭, ‬fighters‭?‬

Hello‭, ‬comrade junior lieutenant‭.‬

What's the matter‭, ‬Vlasyuk‭? -‬I'm a little
hooked‭, ‬comrade younger lieutenant‭.‬

Where exactly in the left hand‭?‬

Didn't you intentionally injure yourself‭?‬
‭- ‬No‭, ‬comrade junior lieutenant‭ ...‬

I didn't ask you anything‭, ‬ranks‭.‬

Where is your company commander‭?‬
‭- ‬In the hut‭, ‬where he would be‭.‬

He just found out when he was going to sneak in there‭.‬
He flies all around‭, ‬and he's in the hut‭.‬

Show me where it is‭.‬

That would be all‭.‬
There are no more leaflets in the village‭.‬

Why are you lying to me‭?‬

There are at least 500‭ ‬of them in the meadow‭.‬
‭- ‬We didn't collect them there‭, ‬comrade lieutenant‭.‬

Then go and pick them up‭.‬

Nobody will go there‭.‬
The Germans open fire on the meadow non-stop‭.‬

I come from there and I do not intend to
to discuss this with you‭.‬

Identify people and send them to pick up
up to one leaflet‭.‬

Otherwise this will end badly‭.‬

And for you‭, ‬politruk‭, ‬too‭.‬

I have no right to risk the lives of fighters
because of these worthless pieces of paper‭.‬

Execute the order and do not force me
to write a report because of your sabotage

lest you and your fighters end up
in a military court‭.‬

Listen to me‭...‬

I have an order from the battalion commander to
I am defending this populated place‭.‬

I have huge losses anyway‭.‬
Every fighter is precious to me‭.‬

I will not risk a single life
executing meaningless orders‭.‬

Is that so‭?‬

Okay‭.‬

I will clarify with you later‭.‬

Connect me with the battalion commander‭.‬

Lieutenant Colonel Larionov and his deputy
will soon be in place‭.‬

Okay‭, ‬we'll wait‭.‬

Until then‭, ‬we can check that there may not be
at one of your fighters those papers‭.‬

And so we already stand drunk
in a ruined church‭.‬

A pop‭?‬
‭- ‬And the pop just keeps quiet and watches‭.‬

And Peter asks him‭, "‬Why your god
don't do something for me‭? "‬

Vlasjuk‭.‬

You have a good watch‭, ‬don't you‭?‬

Yeah‭ ... - ‬A trophy‭.‬
‭-‬Yup‭.‬

Listen‭, ‬let's change‭.‬

For what‭?‬

For what‭?‬

For what‭...‬

Take a look at‭.‬

Oh well‭.‬

It's a real machine‭.‬

Huh‭? -‬Come on‭.‬
‭-‬Look at him‭. -‬Ah‭?‬

If they send you home wounded‭,‬

you will be able to brag more about this trophy
than with your watch‭.‬

A‭? -‬Ah‭?‬
‭- ‬Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬

I agree‭. ‬Come on‭.‬
‭-‬Aaa‭ ...‬

Come on‭.‬

Vlasjuk‭! -‬Ah‭?‬
‭-‬What are you doing there‭?‬

I'm waiting for you‭, ‬comrade junior lieutenant‭.‬

What's your last name‭?‬
‭-‬Bass‭.‬

This one‭, ‬Private Ivan Basov‭.‬
‭- ‬Do you have leaflets‭?‬

What do I need‭?‬
‭- ‬Let me see the pockets‭.‬

You don't understand Russian‭?‬

What is this‭?‬

It's a Red Army booklet‭.‬

Surname‭!‬

Ordov Karcev‭! ‬I don't have leaflets‭.‬
I had one‭.‬

While you were in the cottage‭,‬
I wiped my ass with it‭.‬

Don't pretend to be important‭, ‬Lieutenant‭.‬
It won't do you any good‭.‬

Trust me‭, ‬I don't have flyers‭.‬
And you have no right to search me‭.‬

I know you can shoot me‭.‬

I have my rights too‭.‬

Karcev‭, ‬show me your pockets‭.‬
Otherwise we'll both go to court-martial‭.‬

You think I'll just like you
to solve‭, ‬nit‭? ‬Clothes for inspection‭!‬

Let me tell you something‭.‬
This is not your zone‭.‬

And I won't let you search me‭.‬

And since we're on the front line‭,‬
and who knows if we'll live until morning‭,‬

there is no point in threatening me‭.‬
Understood‭?‬

Rikov‭, ‬you're wrong‭.‬
‭-‬I have a‭.‬

According to military law‭ ...‬

Then‭!‬

Kostya‭!‬
Obey him‭.‬

Please‭, ‬Karcev

‭It was getting dark‭, ‬the lantern was swaying‭‬

‭Everything was covered by night darkness‭‬

‭And I'm dirty‭, ‬washed by the rain‭‬

‭I stand forgotten there on the corner‭‬

Then‭?‬

Shoot‭.‬

You really have balls‭, ‬Kostik‭.‬

Here's my brandy‭.‬

Comrade Red Army soldiers‭ ...‬

I'm Junior Lieutenant Rikov‭.‬

Special department‭.‬

I order everyone to take off their clothes
and emptied his pockets‭.‬

When German leaflets are found‭,‬
he can only be angry with himself‭.‬

Comrade junior lieutenant‭,‬
we picked it all up and burned it‭.‬

Wasn't I clear enough‭?‬
Clothes for inspection‭!‬

What is this‭?‬
‭-‬The letter‭.‬

What letter‭? ‬Of whom‭?‬
‭- ‬From my mother‭.‬

From what mother‭?‬

I'm asking you‭.‬
Where are the German leaflets‭?‬

Do you want to go to court-martial‭?‬
‭- ‬I really don't have them‭.‬

And who has them‭?‬
‭-‬There are‭ ...‬

Sorry‭, ‬Commander‭.‬

I took these leaflets to wrap tobacco in them‭.‬

What are you explaining to me‭, ‬as if I don't know her‭.‬

It's like someone's reading those damn flyers‭.‬

But there is nothing I can do‭.‬

Nonsense‭.‬

He did stupid things too
must be held accountable for it‭.‬

We have a fight ahead of us‭.‬
We need every fighter‭.‬

And imagine what it will be like
be fighting morale

of the Red Army when
they will shoot another‭.‬

OK OK‭.‬
Do not exaggerate‭.‬

Your fighter doesn't deserve to be shot‭.‬

That fighter was the first to enter the village naked
hands neutralized the fascists‭.‬

And now a problem arises because of some
paper‭. -‬Don't complicate‭. ‬I understood you‭.‬

I‭ ...‬
‭- ‬This is how we‭ ...‬

Give him Barkova‭. -‬But‭...‬
‭- ‬Come on‭, ‬give it to him‭.‬

Don't make trouble for yourself‭.‬

And I'll make sure you're your fighter
did not suffer‭.‬

I give you my word‭.‬
Done‭.‬

Yes‭, ‬I will not forget‭.‬

Who was online‭?‬
‭- ‬Company commander from Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

He needs people and artillery‭.‬

That is all‭?‬

They have a state of emergency‭.‬

One soldier took German leaflets‭.‬
He says he needs to roll tobacco in them‭.‬

Did they shoot him‭?‬

They are not‭.‬

Why‭?‬

Well‭, ‬are you satisfied now‭,‬
senior lieutenant‭?‬

Are you done‭?‬

Politruk‭.‬

According to this‭, ‬he should not be imprisoned‭,‬
than to reward‭.‬

Arise‭!‬

If I were you‭, ‬I wouldn't do that‭.‬

Why‭?‬
‭- ‬I can't guarantee your safety‭.‬

I have 80‭ ‬people‭, ‬fighters‭, ‬who
they went through hell‭, ‬they saw death‭.‬

I don't know what might come to mind
when they see a man's back

who leads their friend to the shooting‭.‬

Threaten to the wrong address‭,‬
senior lieutenant‭.‬

You won't scare me‭.‬

Get out‭!‬

Help‭!‬
‭-‬Come on‭.‬

Okay‭.‬

We could wait for darkness to fall‭.‬

It has started‭.‬

Faster‭!‬
Faster‭!‬

I think it hooked him up‭.‬

It's good if it's just him‭.‬

Vlasjuk‭!‬

Vlasjuk‭, ‬are you alive‭?‬

I am alive‭.‬

How are you‭? -‬Not very well‭.‬
Your boss is wounded‭.‬

Hard‭?‬
‭-‬Enough‭.‬

We have to keep crawling‭, ‬and fast‭.‬

But I won't be able to drag him away alone‭.‬

Guys‭, ‬can I crawl up to you‭?‬

Hold on‭, ‬Mikola‭.‬

I once dragged a goat to the vet like that
across the field‭.‬

She sighed heavily‭.‬
And you're no heavier than her‭.‬

I'm not a goat‭!‬
‭-‬No‭? ‬Capricorn‭?‬

Easy easy‭...‬

What are you looking at‭?‬

All my life I wanted to have a son‭.‬

And God only gave me daughters‭.‬
I already have 4‭.‬

Varka‭, ‬Sonja‭, ‬Nadja and Oljenka‭.‬
Do you have a family‭?‬

Don't chatter‭, ‬arrested‭.‬

I'm going to get some rest‭,‬
so we move on‭.‬

And don't even try by accident
to escape‭, ‬arrested‭.‬

What‭?‬
Boys‭!‬

Should I crawl up to you‭, ‬or not‭?‬

Boys‭!‬
‭-‬No need‭!‬

The lieutenant started talking nonsense‭.‬
She's afraid she'll die soon‭.‬

Okay‭!‬

You're a fool‭.‬
You haven't seen real life‭.‬

They filled your head with nonsense‭.‬
You do not distinguish good from bad‭.‬

I understand everything better than you‭!‬
‭-‬Really‭?‬

Then‭, ‬let's go‭!‬
Did you rest‭?‬

Vasjuk‭!‬
‭-‬Ah‭!‬

Rest‭.‬

We'll wait until it gets dark‭.‬

Okay‭!‬

Aren't you sleeping‭?‬

And why aren't you in the party‭?‬

I am not politically savvy enough‭.‬

I'm not old enough‭.‬

How come you're not up to it
with your higher education‭?‬

What difference does that make‭?‬

Sometimes higher education matters
evaluate people correctly‭.‬

And‭, ‬please‭, ‬politruk‭,‬
stop questioning me‭.‬

Each of us has the right to decide
whether to enter the pariah or not‭.‬

It's a matter of choice‭, ‬isn't it‭?‬

Of course it is‭.‬

Can we switch to‭ "‬you‭"?‬

If you insist‭, ‬we can try‭.‬

Still‭, ‬I wouldn't rush‭.‬

I would first liberate 5-6‭ ‬such villages
from the Germans‭.‬

Yup‭.‬
‭- ‬And then I would see what and how to proceed‭.‬

You do not believe me‭.‬

What's wrong with me‭, ‬Yevgeny Ilyich‭?‬

You know‭, ‬I‭ ...‬

I went to the front as a volunteer
back in June‭ '‬41‭.‬

I got shot and exploded
immediately accustomed‭.‬

Here in the mine explosion
they knew how to be stronger‭.‬

But I can't get used to it
to such silence‭.‬

Usually after silence
nothing good follows‭.‬

You said yes yourself
The Germans do not fight at night‭.‬

That's right‭.‬

But for most fighters‭, ‬this is their first night
on the front line‭.‬

So that‭...‬

I think now is the right time
to visit them‭, ‬Jefim Borisovic‭.‬

Here we go‭.‬

Let them remove the barbed wire and set
checkpoint‭.‬

Tell them I'll check in person‭.‬

Let the others deal with the new recruits‭.‬
That would be all‭. ‬Execute the order‭.‬

Let me address‭,‬
comrade lieutenant colonel‭. - ‬I'm listening to you‭.‬

It was getting dark‭. ‬They could try to send
people and ammunition to the commander in the village‭.‬

We will send them after the German attack‭.‬
I think he will attack soon‭.‬

Then they won't need help anymore‭.‬
‭-‬If they don't need it‭,‬

we won't even send it‭.‬

Why do you‭, ‬Rjabin‭, ‬look at everything in black‭?‬
‭- ‬I'm trying to figure out how you can do that‭.‬

We condemn those people there on
certain death‭.‬

Don't be afraid‭, ‬Captain‭.‬

You wanted to ask why I'm sending them to
certain death‭, ‬right‭?‬

Don't sleep‭, ‬comrades‭.‬
Don't sleep‭.‬

Here's what I think‭. ‬If not us
reinforcements arrive‭, ‬comrade politruk‭,‬

will we perhaps endure again‭, ‬or
this time we really won't last‭?‬

Help will be here soon‭.‬
They promised us from headquarters‭.‬

Comrades‭, ‬don't sleep‭.‬

Don't sleep‭.‬

Don't let the fighters relax‭,‬
Oganesjan‭.‬

Three days of marching‭, ‬plus one sleepless night‭.‬

People are exhausted‭.‬
‭-‬I know‭.‬

Just don't fall asleep‭, ‬my dears‭.‬
Help just didn't arrive‭.‬

Vlasjuk‭!‬

Hey‭!‬
Mikola‭!‬

He fell asleep‭.‬
Now is the right time to go‭.‬

Listen‭, ‬junior lieutenant‭ ...‬
‭- ‬I want everyone to follow the rules‭.‬

What‭?‬

You think I don't know how everyone curses me
and spit after all this‭?‬

‭"‬Bastard‭! ‬How can he‭?‬
There is no conscience‭. "‬

But everyone's conscience is different‭.‬

You asked me about family‭.‬

I have no one‭.‬
I am a former orphan‭.‬

I'm on my own skin
felt like people like you‭,‬

conscientious‭, ‬trying to get rid of me
as soon as the opportunity presents itself‭.‬

What‭, ‬you grew up and now it's all your fault‭?‬
‭-‬Not‭.‬

The state took me‭, ‬fed me‭,‬
gave me an education‭,‬

and entrusted me to supervise
how its laws are enforced‭.‬

To give punishment to everyone who deserves it‭.‬

And I really don't care what
others think of me‭.‬

And donقÄôt you think you might be too much
cruelly set up these new laws of yours‭?‬

Break everything over your knees‭.‬
You have all the power‭.‬

Who do you want to punish‭,‬
whom you pardon‭.‬

You knew you couldn't take flyers‭.‬

Why did you take them‭? ‬You broke the law‭.‬
‭- ‬I'm just as devilish as I'm going to die‭.‬

Just to get my body
covered someone else in the ditch‭.‬

The law is the same for everyone‭. -‬Then tell me‭,‬
by what law am I dragging you like this now‭?‬

Do I have to do that too‭?‬
The law‭, ‬the law‭!‬

If it was the law‭, ‬we would all be burning in hell‭.‬

And there‭, ‬there‭ ...‬

Only by the grace of God can we
get out of there‭.‬

A‭, ‬Vanjatka‭ ...‬
I already thought I lost you‭.‬

Give it here‭.‬
‭- ‬Then how are you‭, ‬brothers‭?‬

Everything is fine‭.‬
‭-‬Sit down‭. ‬Sit down‭.‬

Everything is ready‭.‬
We will welcome the Germans as they should‭.‬

I see you're ready‭.‬
Just don't fall asleep‭, ‬brothers‭.‬

Soloviev‭! -‬Yes‭!‬
‭- ‬What's up‭, ‬countryman‭? - ‬Don't sleep‭.‬

You got scared‭?‬
You betrayed the old man‭, ‬didn't you‭?‬

Ooo‭!‬
‭-‬Stop it‭, ‬Karcev‭!‬

At the expense of tee need‭, ‬bastard‭.‬

Just try something similar again‭.‬

And who am I‭?‬
No one‭.‬

You were wrong‭, ‬Constantine‭.‬

That special would definitely find it
those leaflets at the old man's‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭ ...‬
‭-‬Yes‭!‬

How much longer will we live‭?‬

To tell you the truth‭?‬
I do not know‭.‬

I will surely live until the morning‭.‬

Can I tell you something then‭?‬

In Moscow‭, ‬it used to be in Marina Roshcha
lived a hardened thief‭.‬

Kostya Vitalyov‭, ‬called Vitaly‭.‬

Everyone knew about him‭,‬
but there was no way they could catch him‭.‬

So last year in May‭,‬
not far from the cinema‭ "‬Uranus‭"‬

tried to steal a wallet once
to a respectable citizen‭.‬

One of my schoolmates and I are
they noticed it‭.‬

Olezik tried to stop him‭, ‬but
Kostya‭, ‬as usual‭, ‬managed to escape‭.‬

And Oleg was found a week later
with a knife stabbed in the body‭.‬

However‭, ‬he miraculously survived‭.‬

What do you think‭, ‬comrade senior lieutenant‭,‬
could your courier be

that thief‭ ...‬

for which a federal warrant has been issued‭?‬

It's not that I don't have an order
to withdraw‭.‬

Nor that it is practically impossible to keep
village without help‭.‬

Than I will lose in vain
manpower and technique‭.‬

And so I will weaken the battalion‭.‬

You will ask me what sense it makes for everyone
die in Ovsjanjikovo‭?‬

I'll tell you‭.‬

I didn't cut your boyfriend‭.‬

A lot is attributed to us‭.‬

When in October‭ '‬41‭. ‬rumors started
in Moscow

that the Germans are in town‭,‬
we did a couple of goldsmiths‭.‬

Then the cops got on our necks‭.‬

Everyone ran away‭, ‬and where am I going‭?‬
I fly into the House of Culture‭ "‬Petoletka‭".‬

And there's a bunch of men‭.‬
Volunteers‭.‬

I ran into them‭.‬
He stole some guy's documents‭.‬

I'm looking‭...‬
Her name is the same as mine‭. ‬Kostik‭.‬

I hid the gold that
I had‭, ‬and to the front‭.‬

I thought I would
manage to escape along the way‭.‬

You don't have to trust me‭, ‬guys‭,‬
I've been fighting for four months now‭.‬

I like that‭, ‬comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

At the expense of the bastard‭.‬
‭- ‬Storage‭, ‬Basov‭.‬

At the expense of the bastard and done‭.‬
‭-‬Storage‭!‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭,‬
it should be sent to the expense‭!‬

Leave‭, ‬when I say‭!‬

I don't understand where we got that from‭.‬

What that‭?‬
‭-‬So that‭: "‬At the expense‭ ... ‬At the expense‭ ..."‬

‭"‬At expense‭."‬
You came up with a good word‭.‬

It's like talking about trees‭.‬
‭- ‬Stepmother‭, ‬are you deaf‭?‬

It's a criminal‭, ‬a criminal‭.‬

I haven't always been‭, ‬Vanja‭, ‬either
an accountant in a collective farm‭.‬

And what were you‭? ‬A‭? -‬Professor of philosophy
at Leningrad University‭.‬

Well‭...‬
What's new with you‭?‬

Night of recognition‭.‬

Join us‭, ‬politruk‭.‬

What is your name‭?‬

Alexey‭.‬

Do you know‭, ‬Ljoإ‮!‬a‭ ...‬

how a small child smiles
when does mom breastfeed him‭?‬

You take him slowly to the cradle‭.‬

And it just blinks its eyes

and trying to say something‭.‬

And he's just looking at you‭.‬

And smile‭.‬

We Russians smile too little‭.‬

And those are the children‭.‬

They look at you‭, ‬fool and animal‭,‬
and laughed‭.‬

Just like that‭.‬

For no reason‭.‬

They don't even know who you are‭.‬

They don't care‭.‬

Did you do a good deed‭,‬

or killed someone‭.‬

That smile‭ ...‬

is like communion‭.‬

Like what‭?‬

As forgiveness of all sins‭, ‬son‭.‬

The Germans‭.‬

Tell us‭, ‬Stepmother‭.‬

What did you answer for in life‭?‬

You fled the revolution to the village‭.‬

And there they kept records of others
things and destinies‭.‬

And your life‭, ‬as you said‭,‬
you shit‭.‬

What‭, ‬you're scared of the word‭ "‬expense‭"‬
and hid like a rat‭.‬

I love Russia‭.‬

I set out to defend her as soon as it was
was necessary‭.‬

Not Russia‭, ‬but the Soviet Union‭.‬
‭- ‬Let there be that Alliance‭.‬

Alliance‭ ...‬
How many years has this Alliance of yours existed‭?‬

Russia has not gone anywhere‭.‬
It's been here for 1000‭ ‬years‭, ‬and it will continue to be‭.‬

Why do we behave like this
towards each other‭?‬

And I came to defend the homeland‭.‬
Everyone signed up‭, ‬including me‭.‬

And they send us a special officer
department and his assistant‭. ‬And the food‭?‬

Nobody even thought to send it to us‭.‬
Although we haven't eaten in days‭.‬

We have to admit that
The Germans are waging lordly wars‭.‬

They swallowed the whole thing
Europe and they did not drown‭.‬

To start beating them‭,‬

we have to let them know
that we can't just retreat‭,‬

him and to fight to the death if need be‭.‬

And you don't wonder where they are
residents of this village‭?‬

They are gone‭.‬
They were killed far from the fighting‭.‬

Why the enemy treats us
better than ourselves‭?‬

They were taken away with the threat of weapons
to work for the Germans‭. -‬Stop‭!‬

Bass‭!‬
Come here‭.‬

And you‭, ‬Kostik‭, ‬pity him in vain‭.‬
‭- ‬Vanya‭, ‬cut it out‭!‬

Bass‭!‬

I said‭...‬

I told you Vanja to stop‭.‬
‭-‬Sorry‭.‬

I should have told you earlier‭.‬

Thats is it how is it‭.‬
‭- ‬What do you want from me‭?‬

Come on‭, ‬I'll show you what they are
did to our people‭.‬

Get up‭!‬
Come on‭.‬

Shit‭!‬

And lastly‭, ‬Captain‭.‬

Don't you really realize that if us
The Germans win‭, ‬no one will stay alive‭.‬

There are about 200‭ ‬people here‭.‬

The whole village‭.‬

Oh my God‭...‬

Oh my God‭...‬

Oh my God‭...‬

Rest‭, ‬Lord‭, ‬souls of the dead‭ ...‬

Oh my God‭...‬

Oh my God‭...‬

God‭, ‬how many children are here‭ ...‬

Oh my God‭...‬

So‭ ...‬
What do we have here‭?‬

Forward‭.‬

Germans‭! ‬Germans‭!‬
‭-‬Fire away‭! ‬Germans‭!‬

Burn‭! ‬Do you want our country‭?‬
Burn‭! ‬Burn‭!‬

Brothers‭!‬
Fascists surround us‭!‬

Don't sleep‭, ‬comrades‭!‬
Beat the bastards‭!‬

Boys‭...‬
Boys‭...‬

Comrade Lieutenant Colonel‭.‬
‭- ‬What do you want‭, ‬Lieutenant‭?‬

The Germans launched an attack on Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

Get everyone ready‭, ‬Captain‭.‬

The devil took them‭. ‬If they drive out the company
from the village‭, ‬will strike right at us‭.‬

Raise combat readiness for all‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭!‬

Follow me‭!‬
‭-‬I understand‭!‬

Withdrawal‭!‬

Let's retreat to the village‭!‬

Vasja‭, ‬give me the bombs‭!‬
Bombs‭!‬

Get a machine gun‭!‬

A machine gun‭!‬

Serjoga‭, ‬machine gun‭!‬

What's going on here‭?‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬
The Germans surround us‭!‬

Oganesjan was killed‭.‬

Withdrawal‭!‬
Let's retreat to the trenches‭! ‬Faster‭!‬

Save ammunition‭!‬

Let's retreat to the trenches‭! ‬Faster‭!‬
‭- ‬Comrade senior lieutenant‭!‬

Withdrawal‭!‬
Withdrawal‭!‬

Hurry up‭!‬

We retreat into the trenches‭.‬

It's over‭.‬

Looks like we're done
behind the line of fritters‭.‬

They almost didn't shoot at us‭.‬

Obviously they are not sure either
who is where‭.‬

Go‭, ‬soldier‭. ‬Go while you're still alive‭.‬
What‭?‬

What are you talking about‭, ‬I'm under arrest‭.‬
‭-‬Go away‭!‬

You atoned for your mistake‭.‬
I'll keep them‭.‬

The two of us had a great time‭.‬

And you fool didn't understand anything‭.‬

Get up‭!‬
Get up‭!‬

Come on‭!‬

Come on‭.‬

Guys‭, ‬guys‭!‬
I'm here‭!‬

Mikola‭! -‬Ah‭?‬
‭-‬Help‭. - ‬Comrade Lieutenant‭ ...‬

Where's your ammunition‭?‬
‭- ‬Spread out in the trenches‭.‬

Save the bombs and take over
circular defense‭.‬

Submachine guns at the ends‭!‬
Bass‭. ‬Vanja‭ ...‬

Go through the ditch‭.‬
Look how many of us survived‭.‬

Send platoon commanders to me‭.‬
Come on‭!‬

Commander‭!‬

Don't forget about me‭.‬
I set the huts on fire‭.‬

That's not how we guys can
go unnoticed‭.‬

I thought you were killed‭.‬

You won't wait for that‭, ‬Vanjatka‭.‬

Gavrjushkin‭, ‬Fokin‭!‬
Follow me‭!‬

Where is Machikhin‭? ‬Where is Somov‭?‬
‭- ‬The philosopher is alive‭.‬

And I haven't seen a pioneer‭.‬

Spread out‭!‬

So‭ ...‬
What about machine guns‭?‬

Mr‭. ‬Officer‭, ‬are you ordering that
are we going to attack‭?‬

Not‭.‬
Every part to those Russians‭.‬

We lost too many people‭.‬

There is nothing left of that village anyway‭.‬

Save the mortars and bury
their trenches mine‭.‬

Execute the order‭.‬

Let me know when you're ready to fire‭.‬
‭-‬I understand‭!‬

Stop‭!‬

Get up‭!‬

Yup‭!‬

Get up‭!‬

Don't shoot‭! ‬Don't shoot‭!‬
I have a pass‭!‬

Don't shoot‭! ‬Don't shoot‭!‬
I have a pass‭!‬

Don't shoot‭! ‬Don't shoot‭!‬

Here‭, ‬I have a flyer‭.‬
Don't shoot‭.‬

He is a communist‭! ‬He is a communist‭!‬
Special Department Officer‭.‬

Don't shoot‭!‬
I have a flyer as a pass‭.‬

Do you want to live‭?‬
‭-‬Ah‭?‬

What are you talking about‭?‬
I have a pass‭.‬

I have a pass‭. ‬I have a pass‭.‬
Don't shoot‭.‬

Don't shoot‭.‬

Kill him‭.‬

What are you talking about‭? ‬I have a pass‭.‬
Don't shoot‭.‬

Do you want to live‭?‬

I have a flyer‭.‬
‭-‬Shoot‭!‬

Hurry up‭.‬

Why are you laughing‭?‬

Why‭?‬
Why‭?‬

Shoot‭!‬

Why‭?‬

Shit‭!‬
These pigs are all the same‭.‬

Not a big deal‭.‬

Eventually we will learn them though
to kill each other‭.‬

Follow me‭!‬

Why hide your sin‭? ‬They broke us‭.‬
Everything went wrong‭.‬

And in my opinion‭,‬
the fascist plan failed‭.‬

Because Rikov fired up
them with a machine gun‭,‬

and woke us with his cry‭.‬
‭-‬Yes‭.‬

Why Rikov‭?‬

Maybe it was old‭.‬
‭-‬Difficult‭.‬

If it weren't for that machine gun‭, ‬they would have cut it
would us like cabbage‭, ‬comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

Let the devil carry them and the cabbage‭.‬

What‭?‬
‭- ‬Someone's coming‭.‬

A‭?‬

Look‭, ‬isn't that your countryman‭?‬

Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬come on‭ ...‬
‭-‬Slowly‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭ ...‬

Let me speak‭.‬

The Germans are not planning an attack‭.‬

They decided to bury our trenches
mines from mortars‭.‬

Repeat‭.‬

The signal to shell is a red rocket‭.‬

The battle fell silent‭.‬

We're late‭.‬

The battle did not end‭.‬
Only the attack stopped‭.‬

The real thing will only begin now‭.‬

Who are you listening to‭?‬

This eagle is halfway there
hours admired the Germans‭.‬

I swear‭. ‬I heard when he was a German officer
ordered the trenches to be razed to the ground‭.‬

I speak german‭.‬

If it is like that‭,‬

it will soon overwhelm us
mines from mortars‭.‬

In half an hour‭, ‬if any of us survive‭,‬
he will no longer be able to fight‭.‬

So‭ ...‬

If we don't back down‭,‬

the freaks will break us without losing
of one man‭.‬

The battalion commander ordered
to occupy and defend Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

If we withdraw‭, ‬we will turn a deaf ear
order‭. - ‬Vanya‭, ‬how many of us are left‭?‬

32‭.‬

We must not retreat‭, ‬Commander‭.‬
‭- ‬That's right‭, ‬we can't‭.‬

But I am yours
lives‭, ‬as well as their own‭,‬

ready to give only in
a substitute for the lives of the freaks‭.‬

But to sacrifice my company in order to
they made minced meat out of it‭,‬

I will not allow that‭.‬

Therefore‭, ‬the final decision will be mine‭.‬

Politruk Zorin‭!‬
‭-‬Yes‭.‬

Sergeant Lavrov‭!‬
‭-‬Yes‭.‬

Lead the rest of the company
according to our lines‭.‬

Yes‭, ‬Basov‭, ‬Karcev‭ ...‬

We stay here to protect
your withdrawal‭.‬

And let's see if
Somov lied to us‭.‬

Let me stay too‭.‬

I would stay too‭, ‬Commander‭.‬
‭-‬And I‭.‬

Me‭, ‬Basov and Karcev‭!‬

I order the others to withdraw‭.‬

Mr‭. ‬Officer‭, ‬they are mortars
ready for action‭.‬

Okay‭.‬

Hurry up‭, ‬Jefim Borisovic‭.‬

I wish you all the best of luck‭,‬
comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

Comrade senior lieutenant‭.‬

Look what this luftica has‭.‬
A‭?‬

He's good‭,‬
It really smells‭.‬

Mm‭?‬

It smokes nicely‭.‬
‭-‬Cigarettes‭ ...‬

Commander‭.‬
‭-‬Mm‭?‬

It's your turn‭.‬

First‭...‬

Thank you for staying with me‭, ‬brothers‭.‬
And secondly‭ ...‬

If Somov didn't lie‭,‬

this is our last battle‭.‬

No preference‭...‬

To win‭!‬

If I was lucky‭, ‬I would be in Sochi now‭.‬

For luck‭.‬
And to win‭.‬

And I don't regret anything‭.‬

I would love to hug my mother one more time‭.‬

I promised her I would be back‭.‬

Otherwise he will be angry‭.‬

To win‭.‬

He was a real kid‭.‬

Fire away‭!‬

Their mother‭ ...‬

Come on‭, ‬come on‭, ‬Semyonov‭. ‬Faster‭!‬
‭- ‬Don't stop‭, ‬debts‭!‬

Don't stop‭!‬

Is that what we talked about‭?‬

Vanja‭!‬

I'm out of ammunition‭!‬
‭-‬Ah‭?‬

Ammunition‭!‬
‭- ‬I don't have any more‭!‬

Basov was killed‭!‬

I saw‭.‬

They will be coming at us again soon‭!‬

Ours have probably already arrived‭.‬
Shall we try too‭?‬

Let's try‭.‬

Come on‭!‬

You don't think I know what's going on
in Ovsjanjikovo‭?‬

Comrade Lieutenant Colonel‭,‬
let me address‭. -‬Mm‭?‬

The company commander from Ovsjanjikovo is outside‭.‬

Calm down‭!‬

Comrade Lieutenant Colonel‭ ...‬

Tell me why you surrendered the village
not carrying out my order‭?‬

I didn't turn him in‭.‬

They drove us out with mines‭.‬

And now listen to me carefully‭.‬

I'm giving you‭ ...‬

and your company‭ ...‬

last chance‭ ...‬

to redeem yourself with blood‭.‬

I order you to floor
urgently expel the Germans

and regain control
over the village of Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

Regain control of the village‭!‬
Understood‭?‬

It is now impossible to occupy the village‭.‬

People are exhausted to the limit‭!‬

You send them to certain senseless death‭.‬

Commander‭, ‬come with me‭.‬

Take a look at‭...‬

It's been getting ready for days‭, ‬from here
the final great offensive‭.‬

We are entrusted with the task of giving all our strength
we attract the opponent to ourselves

It is as if the main blow will start from here‭.‬

The Germans must believe that the main one will
blow to be right here‭.‬

That's why you're going‭,‬
and you will occupy Ovsjanjikovo‭.‬

You saved humanity‭.‬
Well done‭!‬

You have an advantage‭.‬
You were there‭. ‬You know every house‭.‬

And the most important thing‭. ‬Germans in general
they don't expect you to come back‭.‬

That you can come back‭.‬

And you can do it‭.‬

The surprise factor is important‭.‬

But people are barely alive to me‭.‬

I also need 45s‭.‬

I'll fill your chat‭.‬

Take the 45s too‭.‬

But the village‭ ...‬

must be returned regardless of the price‭.‬
Is that clear‭?‬

I understand‭!‬

Let me walk away‭.‬

Go‭, ‬son‭.‬

‭According to official data‭, ‬in
battles near Rإ‮>‬evo 1942-1943‭. ‬years‭‬

‭over a million died
Soviet soldiers and officers‭.‬

‭Rzhevska is considered to be a battle
reversed the course of the war‭.‬

‭The battle for Rzhev was very important
strategic importance‭‬

‭for the final breakdown
fascist near Stalingrad‭.‬

‭At the end of May 1943‭, ‬they were Germans
stopped in the area near Rإ‮>‬evo‭,‬

‭and the Red Army moved the front to
150-160‭ ‬kilometers from Moscow‭.‬

‭The German army did not get that way‭‬

‭expected gain
for the battle of Stalingrad‭.‬
