- Yes, two of them, two!
- Happy new year!
Now we have offspring oh-hoo!
Happy year! Happy year!
- They poured us!
- Fools need to be taught! Learn
- Black deafness among the people.
But the war will wake him up,
not long to go.
- How is Aksinya?
- She fell with Eugene.
- Got so much better. Do not look like
a maid, but rather like a housekeeper
- Don't, Grisha!
- Well hello.
- Hello, Grisha.
- I wish you good health, your honor.
- Hello, your honor.
- I wish you good health, your honor.
- Hello, brothers.
Astakhov! Have you been back for a long time?
- Since yesterday, your honor.
- Are you ready, hunters?
- Sir, yes, your honor.
- Do whatever you want,
but get me a tongue [a foreigner]
We attack early in the morning,
but the passage has not yet been found.
- We will make it, your honor.
- With God, Cossacks. God bless.
(German speech is heard.)
- Brothers...
- I'm sorry, boy.
- Brothers...
Brothers...
Brothers... Brothers!
- Cossacks! Citizens!
Our revolution will be the master of the new,
free Russia!
It will build, so to speak,
another bright life!
(Coughed.
-Life, you see, will be bright,
But you angry one, you won’t make it.
You should go home, it’s quite chilly at the base.
- Well, Platonych, you are a literate person.
Tell us, dark ones,
how is it now and how it will be.
- We will live without a tsar.
In the crowd: - How? Like this?
- How is it - without a tsar?
Both our fathers and grandfathers lived under the tsars.
- If you take off a head -
legs can't live without it.
- What kind of power will take over?
Don't think, Platonych,
Talk with us plainly.
- The Republic will be with us!
Freedom, damn it, and equality!
What have we come to, damn it!
- Since equality, therefore,
they want to equalize us with the serfs!
- Look, I suppose they even take our land!
- Here, old people,
what you brought Russia to?
Can the new government end the war?
Could it happen?
- Hey, but the war will be over
under the new government.
Sons will be at home, I feel.
- Dunyakha!
- Hello, brother!
- Hello, my azure flower.
- So, did you have enough of fighting?
- I did, dad.
Well, what did you hear about Grishka?
- Grishka?
Grishka, dad, leaned towards bolsheviks,
he is at theirs place.
- And I think so: the revolution
will be benefitial to us, brothers!
The war will end - we will live in a new way.
In Ukraine, the Rada rules,
at our place -- The Military Circle.
Your own power - your own rules.
And we will live like our great-grandfathers
lived in the old days.
- Of course, it will be better.
The men took over our strength,
there is no life with them.
Well, will Russia come to terms with this?
- For sure!
- Oh! Live well then.
- God bless.
- Hello.
- Get acquainted.
This, Grisha, is almost our neighbor,
From Ust-Hoperskaya.
Chairman of the Don Revolutionary Committee - Podtelkov.
Heard about him?
-I heard. Grigory Melehov.
- Fedor Podtelkov.
-Well...
- Well, Mihail, sit down.
- From which farms are you? Wanna tea?
- I don't want to, don't worry.
I myself from Krutovsky.
Do you know Pleshakovsky farm?
Behind it there is Matveev,
and there further our farms,
Upper and Lower Krutovsky.
- Neighbors, that means.
Will you smoke?
- Sure.
I won’t catch it. Damn it
- Well, what did you come with, neighbor?
Just to look at you,
What kind of Bolshevik are you?
You are the commander of the division now,
now there are three hundred under you.
- Well, to tell the truth,
I'm a shitty Bolshevik.
I'm wandering like in a snowstorm in the steppe.
- Well, you won't get away.
Life will make you understand
and not only will make you - but will
push you by force you to some side.
Well...
See you.
- Grigory Panteleevich, I recently
saw your friend at the station.
- Which one?
- Listnitsky.
- Has he been here?
- Unlikely.
He must be going home
With some kind of woman. Wounded.
Let me take a look at you
dear guest.
Well, how are you, my friend?
Disabled you say?
What to do, I'll have to get used to it.
- Of course, you'll get used to it.
As long as the head is intact.
Arrived with a shield. And even with the
captured beautiful bondmaid[female captive]!
- It's good here with you, oh, so good!
And how quiet.
- And these are our house serfs. Hello.
- Hello.
House serfs: - Good health.
- Hello.
- And who is this?
This is our maid.
- Beautiful.
Yes, beautiful woman.
- Whoa!
- Have a great night, grandpa!
- God bless.
- Is Mitriy far away?
- Here I am.
Wait a minute, let me wash myself, I stink all over.
Nothing, I'm used to it.
- Did ours came to you
about the congress of front-line soldiers?
- Not yet.
- They'll come.
What a meeting! I did not go.
So they came themselves to me!
- And what did you tell them?
- I said that I would not go, I fought enough.
- What are you, warriors, sitting at home?
We warmed up near the women.
- Russia is at war with us,
and you are - at home.
And you, bastard. Do you hear, Mitka?
Why are you silent?
What do you think?
We don't think about anything.
- That's the trouble. Once Bolsheviks
fill this place, they will hit you hard
- That's fine, grandfather, we have
friends among them
- Who is this?
- People say, Grigory Melekhov
adopted the red faith.
- Lying! Gregory against the Cossacks?!
They're lying!
- Found it! Well, with God.
- Get up! To battle! Move!
(Fighters run into battle shouting "Hurrah!")
- Pli!
Forward!.. Lie down!
Forward!
- Lyubishkin!
- What?
Take command, I am not doing this
- Follow me! Forward!
- Melekhov, well done!
You're wounded, aren't you? Hell!
Is the bone intact?
- Whole.
- Totally! Totally smashed!
The officer detachment was so sprayed,
what not to collect. Got them in the tail!
- Give me a smoke.
- 40 people took
and Chernetsov himself.
- You're lying!
- Once you are at the infirmary,
find Podtelkov.
Say that I vouch for Chernetsova.
Understood?
- Understood.
- Pass it on. Go!
- Podtelkov! Now the prisoners will be brought in.
Golubov takes vouch for them,
asked to deliver.
- I don't care about Golubov.
What other wishes does he have?!
To vouch for Chernetsov?!
No way! Execute them all, and that's it.
- Wait. Golubov said...
- I'm not giving him away! No way! Well, that's it!
A revolutionary court to judge him
and punish immediately.
And so that others would think twice!
How much blood did he let out?
How many miners did he kill?
I will not give!
- There's nothing to shout about.
Too many of you, judges, here!
You go there, fight!
Too many of you, bosses, here
over the prisoners
- I was there! Don't you think
that I was escaping on a cart.
Aty, Melekhov, shut up, come on.
Who are you messing with?!
That's it! Forget about your officers habbits!
Here the Revolutionary Committee judges,
not just some golden shoulder mark bastard!
Got yourself into mess, you bastard?
- Traitor of the Cossacks! Scoundrel!
Traitor! How are you talking?
- What are you?
- What are you?
Come on, quiet! What do you think,
that you won't answer?
You will have to answer... you know?
- Cut them... such a bastards!
- No! No!
- Everyone!
- Go away!
- There are no prisoners ...
in the blood, in the heart! Cut them!
- How did you think, huh?
- Aksinya, we need to talk.
- What do you want, Evgeny Nikolaevich?
- Aksinya, you must understand me.
I can't be with you like before.
I can't live with you. You understand?
Now I am a married man
and I can't do meanness.
The duty of conscience does not allow.
What do you say?
Why are you silent, Aksinya?
- I have nothing to say.
- I'll give you money, you have to leave.
I think you will agree.
It's hard for me to see you all the time.
Well?
Don't be silent.
- In a week my month ends.
Can I serve until end of it?
- Of course, of course.
- Well, I'll leave.
- Wont' you pitty me one last time
Hardships made me so shameless
I'm exhausted alone.
Don't judge, Zhenya.
Don't mess with me. We had
in the autumn Kaledin in the farm,
was talking with old people and predicted
that the men will come, there will be a war.
And if we stagger back and forth,
they will take everything
and begin to populate the region.
Does he know less than you?
Such a smart general, he led the army
and knows less than you?
In Kamenskaya, such people settled down,
how are you, uneducated chatterboxes
and they stir up the people.
Enough already, dad.
From here you can see our church.
- Does it tingle your eyes? Move!
- Tingles.
A lot.
- This what it means - homeland!
- Dad, why are you ruling to the farm?
Keep to our alley.
- Hush. Took my sons to war
ordinary Cossacks,
and they servedd to become officers.
Well, am I not proud to
take your son for a ride around the farm?
Let them look and envy.
And I, brother,
the heart is drenched in oil.
Tprrr!
(Woman's cry.
- The devils brought you.
- Oh, you!.. Oh, you unclean spirit,
devil! You should be brought to ataman at once!
- Shut up, fool! What are you shouting!
We will pay for your worthless! ..
- You yourself are worthless, lame dog!
Damn you,
I'll teach you how to crush orphan animals!
- Freeload!
- Damned Turk!
- Bitch, a hundred devils of your mother!
- Outlander! Old fart!
- Here I whip you, dog!
- Thief! He stole someone else's harrow!
- Shut your yawn!
- Ugh!
- So that you cracked in half,
damn fat! Ugh!
Make way! Noah!
What are you laughing at?
- Motherland, dad.
- Grisha!
- th, well you, Dunyakha, damn you!
what a girl came out.
- Grisha!..
And I thought she would be stupid,
useless.
- Well, you, little brother ... Let's go.
- Brother.
Healthy?
- Well, I got a wound.
- Where? - Near Glubokaya[village].
- What did you look for? You should have gone home long time ago
- So...
- What a son, look. - Well?
- Let me see my son.
- Well, take him.
- Oh! Oh no, hold on.
I won't get on the thresholds.
- Well, let me one more time
look at you.
Oh, you, my baby, son!
- Well, hazelnut?
Can't you guess daddy?
- You're not a dad.
O really? And who am I?
- You are a foreign Cossack.
- What are you doing! And where is your papa?
- He is in our service.
- That's right, baby, that's right!
And then he is wandering somewhere
whole year, and then expects to be recognized!
Your grandmother will soon give up on you too.
- How is it? Natasha?
- Daria! Daria, prepare the table.
- He has his own wife,
let her prepare.
- Why are you looking like that?
Are you bored, or what?
- Yeah, a lot.
One sec.
- Well, once again, you live well!
How she will jump out, creep, how she will scream! ..
- Who?
-Well, we run over her piglet,
Anyutka Ozerova. How was she!..
And this, and that, and a rogue,
and stole someone else's harrow!
Which harrow? From whom did you steal?
The devil knows!
- Mom, this is for you.
- Oh...
Oh...
- The hag is old, and there too -
in front of the mirror! Ugh!
- This is for you, dad.
Well, save Christ.
And I was poor with a cap.
They were not in the shops this year.
God knows in what I was walking.
It was awkward to go to church in the old cap
- What are you, old man, huh?
- God, she is so stupid.
It's a samovar, not a mirror.
That's it.
Here he is, the Cossack of the Imperial Guard
Cossack regiment! Wow!
No, well, you say! Talked such heresy,
that there is nothing to take in the mouth!
I wanted to return
to hit her with whip
Well, after all, Grigory was here, and in front of him
it was awkward
Now tell me, what is going on there?
- They fight, dad.
- Where are damn Bolsheviks?
- From three sides: from Tikhoretskaya,
from Taganrog, from Voronezh.
- And what does your revolutionary committee think?
Why are they allowed on our lands?
- And the Revolutionary Committee is powerless.
The Cossacks are running home.
- Well, which side are you
adhere to?
- I am for the Soviet power.
- Fool!
Petro, explain him at least!
- I have nothing to explain,
I am not blind myself.
What your front-line soldiers are talking about?
-Well, does it even matter?
You played enough of the Bolsheviks
at the front, it's time to come to your senses
"We don't want someone else's
and you don't take ours" -
that's how the Cossacks should say.
- You, Grishka, think.
Boy you are not stupid. Cossack - he was
a Cossack and he will remain a Cossack.
Smelly Russia should not rule here.
Do you know what the Bolsheviks are talking about?
Divide the whole earth into souls!
What is it like?!
- Indigenous people from other cities, who
have long lived on the Don, we will give the land.
- Nothing to them! Here! Screw them!
- Well, it will happen, dad.
- Yeah... the people got lost.
People don't know where to go.
Woe is everywhere
What will happen by spring - you won't put in one piece!
- Oh, well, we will talk in spring
Okay, go to bed.
- The calf is scared!
The devil is loud.
(Lyric music plays.
- Natasha!
It smells like dough.
Did you overslept?
- I'm tired of the night.
(A bell is heard.)
- What is it, they call for lunch?
- Probably.
(Knock on the window.
- Peter?
- There's turmoil.
- Lord old people
and you, front-line Cossack brothers!
Cossacks from young to old
rose to the defense of the quiet Don!
You have just chosen a new ataman,
Miron Grigorievich Korshunov!
Now you need
form a detachment of front-line soldiers,
in order to protect the village from a new
invasion of wild robber hordes!
Through the Nagolinskaya volost
goes with the Red Guard Podtelkov!
He comes and brings destruction with him!..
- Yes, we returned from the front.
Who could fight for us,
and we would be with the women.
- I fought enough.
Let others try it.
Officer: - Surely we won't allow to mock
our Orthodox faith,
our holy temples, plunder
our wealth and property?
Ah, Cossacks?
Maidan: - That's right! Right!
- Hey, yours smaller ones,
look, goes
- Gregory! Come back son!
Officer: - It would be nice,
for an officer to lead the detachment! With him
the damage in the event of a battle will be less,
in general! And there are a lot of heroes
on your farm! Huh?
Maidan: - That's right, there are!
- From my part, I want
to recommend cornet Melehov
Grigory Melekhov!
How are you, villagers? - Suitable!
- Grigory Panteleevich!
Damn it!
Come out in the middle of the circle! Come out!
The old people want to look at you!
- Pantelei Prokofievich, your son...!
- Damn lame, stand at least a quarter!
- We give him a withdrawal!
- What's the matter, why the withdrawal?
- How can we..?
believe him if he himself
in the Red Guard
and served as their commander,
and he returned to us
only two months ago because of injury?
- And that's true!
- We, the old people, withdraw him.
Maidan: - That's right! Truly saying!
- Right! Was in the Bolsheviks!
We do not trust him!
He will betray us in the first battle!
- Right! That's right!
- Let him earn faith in advance,
will cover his guilt!
Petra Melekhov as commander!
- Aye, aye [yes]!
- Let Grishka be in the herd!
- Well, I didn’t need it anyway!
Why do I need you?
Wow! How the Turkish blood
takes him in charge!
- Yes, exactly! ..
- Yes, why are you wheedling in front of him?
Judge him by our court!
- Petra, Petra! Petra in command!
- Come on, Petro!
- Come out, come out.
- Live well.
- God bless.
- Well, commander,
we won everybody or what?
- Yeah. Winning the remains of borscht.
- It's still all right.
We will overcome borscht.
Especially if I
jump in for help.
And your neck is getting thinner.
Like a bull after plowing.
- Probably.
You can’t get bigger out of such life.
- Why didn’t you shave the back of your head?
- Damn, I forgot.
- Do you want me to shave you?
Will you put on a uniform with crosses?
- Damn that uniform!
- Put it on. Dad will be happy.
You deserved them for deeds
- Fu, so magnificent!
- Give birth to such sons!
Two sons, and both made their way in life!
- Grishka! Pure Colonel.
- Yes, two of them, two!
- Happy new year!
Now we have offspring oh-hoo!
Happy year! Happy year!
- They poured us!
- Fools need to be taught! Learn
- Black deafness among the people.
But the war will wake him up,
not long to go.
- How is Aksinya?
- She fell with Eugene.
- Got so much better. Do not look like
a maid, but rather like a housekeeper
- Don't, Grisha!
- Well hello.
- Hello, Grisha.
- I wish you good health, your honor.
- Hello, your honor.
- I wish you good health, your honor.
- Hello, brothers.
Astakhov! Have you been back for a long time?
- Since yesterday, your honor.
- Are you ready, hunters?
- Sir, yes, your honor.

Well, am I not proud to
take your son for a ride around the farm?
Let them look and envy.
And I, brother,
the heart is drenched in oil.
Tprrr!
(Woman's cry.
- The devils brought you.
- Oh, you!.. Oh, you unclean spirit,
devil! You should be brought to ataman at once!
- Shut up, fool! What are you shouting!
We will pay for your worthless! ..
- You yourself are worthless, lame dog!
Damn you,
I'll teach you how to crush orphan animals!
- Freeload!
- Damned Turk!
- Bitch, a hundred devils of your mother!
- Outlander! Old fart!
- Here I whip you, dog!
- Thief! He stole someone else's harrow!
- Shut your yawn!
- Ugh!
- So that you cracked in half,
damn fat! Ugh!
Make way! Noah!
What are you laughing at?
- Motherland, dad.
- Grisha!
- th, well you, Dunyakha, damn you!
what a girl came out.
- Grisha!..
And I thought she would be stupid,
useless.
- Well, you, little brother ... Let's go.
- Brother.
Healthy?
- Well, I got a wound.
- Where? - Near Glubokaya[village].
- What did you look for? You should have gone home long time ago
- So...
- What a son, look. - Well?
- Let me see my son.
- Well, take him.
- Oh! Oh no, hold on.
I won't get on the thresholds.
- Well, let me one more time
look at you.
Oh, you, my baby, son!
- Well, hazelnut?
Can't you guess daddy?
- You're not a dad.
O really? And who am I?
- You are a foreign Cossack.
- What are you doing! And where is your papa?
- He is in our service.
- That's right, baby, that's right!
And then he is wandering somewhere
whole year, and then expects to be recognized!
Your grandmother will soon give up on you too.
- How is it? Natasha?
- Daria! Daria, prepare the table.
- He has his own wife,
let her prepare.
- Why are you looking like that?
Are you bored, or what?
- Yeah, a lot.
One sec.
- Well, once again, you live well!
How she will jump out, creep, how she will scream! ..
- Who?
-Well, we run over her piglet,
Anyutka Ozerova. How was she!..
And this, and that, and a rogue,
and stole someone else's harrow!
Which harrow? From whom did you steal?
The devil knows!
- Mom, this is for you.
- Oh...
Oh...
- The hag is old, and there too -
in front of the mirror! Ugh!
- This is for you, dad.
Well, save Christ.
And I was poor with a cap.
They were not in the shops this year.
God knows in what I was walking.
It was awkward to go to church in the old cap
- What are you, old man, huh?
- God, she is so stupid.
It's a samovar, not a mirror.
That's it.
Here he is, the Cossack of the Imperial Guard
Cossack regiment! Wow!
No, well, you say! Talked such heresy,
that there is nothing to take in the mouth!
I wanted to return
to hit her with whip
Well, after all, Grigory was here, and in front of him
it was awkward
Now tell me, what is going on there?
- They fight, dad.
- Where are damn Bolsheviks?
- From three sides: from Tikhoretskaya,
from Taganrog, from Voronezh.
- And what does your revolutionary committee think?
Why are they allowed on our lands?
- And the Revolutionary Committee is powerless.
The Cossacks are running home.
- Well, which side are you
adhere to?
- I am for the Soviet power.
- Fool!
Petro, explain him at least!
- I have nothing to explain,
I am not blind myself.
What your front-line soldiers are talking about?
-Well, does it even matter?
You played enough of the Bolsheviks
at the front, it's time to come to your senses
"We don't want someone else's
and you don't take ours" -
that's how the Cossacks should say.
- You, Grishka, think.
Boy you are not stupid. Cossack - he was
a Cossack and he will remain a Cossack.
Smelly Russia should not rule here.
Do you know what the Bolsheviks are talking about?
Divide the whole earth into souls!
What is it like?!
- Indigenous people from other cities, who
have long lived on the Don, we will give the land.
- Nothing to them! Here! Screw them!
- Well, it will happen, dad.
- Yeah... the people got lost.
People don't know where to go.
Woe is everywhere
What will happen by spring - you won't put in one piece!
- Oh, well, we will talk in spring
Okay, go to bed.
- The calf is scared!
The devil is loud.
(Lyric music plays.
- Natasha!
It smells like dough.
Did you overslept?
- I'm tired of the night.
(A bell is heard.)
- What is it, they call for lunch?
- Probably.
(Knock on the window.
- Peter?
- There's turmoil.
- Lord old people
and you, front-line Cossack brothers!
Cossacks from young to old
rose to the defense of the quiet Don!
You have just chosen a new ataman,
Miron Grigorievich Korshunov!
Now you need
form a detachment of front-line soldiers,
in order to protect the village from a new
invasion of wild robber hordes!
Through the Nagolinskaya volost
goes with the Red Guard Podtelkov!
He comes and brings destruction with him!..
- Yes, we returned from the front.
Who could fight for us,
and we would be with the women.
- I fought enough.
Let others try it.
Officer: - Surely we won't allow to mock
our Orthodox faith,
our holy temples, plunder
our wealth and property?
Ah, Cossacks?
Maidan: - That's right! Right!
- Hey, yours smaller ones,
look, goes
- Gregory! Come back son!
Officer: - It would be nice,
for an officer to lead the detachment! With him
the damage in the event of a battle will be less,
in general! And there are a lot of heroes
on your farm! Huh?
Maidan: - That's right, there are!
- From my part, I want
to recommend cornet Melehov
Grigory Melekhov!
How are you, villagers? - Suitable!
- Grigory Panteleevich!
Damn it!
Come out in the middle of the circle! Come out!
The old people want to look at you!
- Pantelei Prokofievich, your son...!
- Damn lame, stand at least a quarter!
- We give him a withdrawal!
- What's the matter, why the withdrawal?
- How can we..?
believe him if he himself
in the Red Guard
and served as their commander,
and he returned to us
only two months ago because of injury?
- And that's true!
- We, the old people, withdraw him.
Maidan: - That's right! Truly saying!
- Right! Was in the Bolsheviks!
We do not trust him!
He will betray us in the first battle!
- Right! That's right!
- Let him earn faith in advance,
will cover his guilt!
Petra Melekhov as commander!
- Aye, aye [yes]!
- Let Grishka be in the herd!
- Well, I didn’t need it anyway!
Why do I need you?
Wow! How the Turkish blood
takes him in charge!
- Yes, exactly! ..
- Yes, why are you wheedling in front of him?
Judge him by our court!
- Petra, Petra! Petra in command!
- Come on, Petro!
- Come out, come out.
- Live well.
- God bless.
- Well, commander,
we won everybody or what?
- Yeah. Winning the remains of borscht.
- It's still all right.
We will overcome borscht.
Especially if I
jump in for help.
And your neck is getting thinner.
Like a bull after plowing.
- Probably.
You can’t get bigger out of such life.
- Why didn’t you shave the back of your head?
- Damn, I forgot.
- Do you want me to shave you?
Will you put on a uniform with crosses?
- Damn that uniform!
- Put it on. Dad will be happy.
You deserved them for deeds
- Fu, so magnificent!
- Give birth to such sons!
Two sons, and both made their way in life!
- Grishka! Pure Colonel.
