"what", but "why". 371 00:52:56,750 --> 00:52:57,875 I'm the kind of guy 372 00:52:58,750 --> 00:53:00,625 who's not easy to deal with. 373 00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:05,958 I refuse for myself as well as for other innocent people 374 00:53:06,791 --> 00:53:10,666 to sign death sentences. 375 00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:18,625 And yet, that's the only thing they want from me... 376 00:53:24,166 --> 00:53:28,666 these devious fascists from the NKVD. 377 00:53:30,208 --> 00:53:33,708 The building dedicated to the investigation 378 00:53:33,875 --> 00:53:40,000 and the internal prison have become an immense dungeon. 379 00:53:41,416 --> 00:53:45,875 Thousands of innocent people 380 00:53:46,041 --> 00:53:48,708 are subjected to unimaginable... 381 00:53:50,333 --> 00:53:52,041 beatings, 382 00:53:52,541 --> 00:53:56,000 to the torture of being deprived of food, of sleep, 383 00:53:56,458 --> 00:54:00,583 just so they sign 384 00:54:02,708 --> 00:54:05,458 false statements 385 00:54:06,958 --> 00:54:08,500 against themselves 386 00:54:08,666 --> 00:54:10,250 and against others. 387 00:54:11,166 --> 00:54:13,791 Honest people declare themselves guilty 388 00:54:13,958 --> 00:54:16,250 of crimes that are beyond their comprehension, 389 00:54:16,416 --> 00:54:22,083 and the cases go to the courts which act on orders from this same NKVD. 390 00:54:23,458 --> 00:54:26,375 They are particularly cruel 391 00:54:27,125 --> 00:54:30,166 with the old Party members. 392 00:54:30,916 --> 00:54:33,958 In our region, they have massacred 393 00:54:34,125 --> 00:54:37,416 almost all the local cadres. 394 00:54:38,291 --> 00:54:40,458 I think I am the last... 395 00:54:41,208 --> 00:54:43,833 member of the Regional Committee 396 00:54:44,750 --> 00:54:47,166 who is still 397 00:54:48,458 --> 00:54:50,791 in this world. 398 00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:55,250 And it's just because I am 399 00:54:54,416 --> 00:54:58,833 more stubborn than the old members 400 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,750 and because I haven't signed anything. 401 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,875 They wanted me to sign that, 402 00:55:08,708 --> 00:55:10,750 during the war with the Germans, 403 00:55:10,916 --> 00:55:14,291 I was a secret agent for Petliura. 404 00:55:19,583 --> 00:55:22,583 Except shooting their victim 405 00:55:22,750 --> 00:55:27,208 without having obtained from them the confession of these invented crimes, 406 00:55:28,208 --> 00:55:31,833 the local fascists cannot do. 407 00:55:33,083 --> 00:55:36,708 People must slander themselves. 408 00:55:38,333 --> 00:55:43,000 Obviously, it's important for the reports 409 00:55:43,166 --> 00:55:47,291 to the governing bodies. 410 00:55:49,166 --> 00:55:52,625 "See how our vigilance 411 00:55:52,791 --> 00:55:57,791 "allows us to nip in the bud sedition in our own house!" 412 00:56:00,458 --> 00:56:02,875 They are afraid of revelations. 413 00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:07,833 And try to make everything happen 414 00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:10,083 as the law requires. 415 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,458 Beating a stubborn suspect to death, 416 00:56:17,958 --> 00:56:24,125 costs them nothing, these NKVD executioners, 417 00:56:24,583 --> 00:56:30,416 but to them it's an unfortunate blunder. 418 00:56:31,375 --> 00:56:34,166 That's why people like me, 419 00:56:35,583 --> 00:56:39,875 they put them in a glass case 420 00:56:41,708 --> 00:56:45,625 hoping that these people 421 00:56:47,416 --> 00:56:50,500 with crushed innards 422 00:56:51,208 --> 00:56:53,958 won't last long. 423 00:56:55,916 --> 00:56:59,500 When I die, it will be written 424 00:56:59,666 --> 00:57:02,125 that it is of course due 425 00:57:02,875 --> 00:57:06,958 to heart failure in this very prison. 426 00:57:13,041 --> 00:57:15,833 They are the enemies of the people, 427 00:57:16,666 --> 00:57:19,375 these NKVD saboteurs. 428 00:57:21,166 --> 00:57:23,416 They don't damage machine tools, 429 00:57:23,583 --> 00:57:27,000 nor do they set fire to factories. 430 00:57:27,500 --> 00:57:31,958 But the old leaders devoted to the Party, 431 00:57:32,583 --> 00:57:34,750 they replace them 432 00:57:36,375 --> 00:57:40,541 with young, loud-mouthed careerists. 433 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,583 And honest and conscientious specialists 434 00:57:45,166 --> 00:57:50,000 with narrow-minded ignoramuses. 435 00:57:51,666 --> 00:57:54,166 It's not for me that I'm asking you this. 436 00:57:54,333 --> 00:57:56,666 I'm done for, anyway. 437 00:57:57,791 --> 00:58:00,750 But the cause of our Revolution 438 00:58:01,250 --> 00:58:03,666 torments me to the core. 439 00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:11,833 If you are truly 440 00:58:12,375 --> 00:58:14,708 a true Bolshevik 441 00:58:15,500 --> 00:58:19,416 not a coward, and an honest Soviet jurist, 442 00:58:20,458 --> 00:58:24,500 leave immediately for Moscow 443 00:58:26,375 --> 00:58:29,333 and get an audience with Stalin. 444 00:58:30,583 --> 00:58:32,500 If you can't manage that, 445 00:58:33,375 --> 00:58:36,833 go find any member of the Politburo: 446 00:58:38,333 --> 00:58:40,375 Yezhov, Voroshilov, 447 00:58:41,375 --> 00:58:43,041 Molotov... 448 00:58:44,583 --> 00:58:48,583 And tell them that, here, 449 00:58:50,875 --> 00:58:54,125 the cream of the Party is being exterminated. 450 00:58:55,083 --> 00:59:00,875 Hundreds of thousands of honest Soviet citizens! 451 00:59:05,083 --> 00:59:07,583 And don't dawdle. 452 00:59:08,416 --> 00:59:12,416 You managed to get this meeting with me and... 453 00:59:13,958 --> 00:59:17,625 they are not going to leave you in peace. 454 00:59:18,208 --> 00:59:20,916 You won't even have time to turn around 455 00:59:21,875 --> 00:59:23,333 before you yourself 456 00:59:24,500 --> 00:59:27,875 will similarly end up in the clink. 457 01:00:14,708 --> 01:00:16,041 Open up. 458 01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:59,416 He left. 459 01:02:01,541 --> 01:02:03,291 He'll be at your place soon. 460 01:02:04,791 --> 01:02:06,000 Wait. 461 01:02:07,291 --> 01:02:08,416 Yes. 462 01:02:10,375 --> 01:02:14,541 This work, it has to be done beforehand, not after the fact. 463 01:02:20,833 --> 01:02:23,250 We're training little morons. 464 01:03:02,916 --> 01:03:04,916 After the battle, 465 01:03:05,125 --> 01:03:08,208 in 1916, the one at Kovel, 466 01:03:08,416 --> 01:03:09,833 my good sir, 467 01:03:12,750 --> 01:03:15,000 they amputated my arm and my leg. 468 01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:19,958 Back then, there was nothing set up for the wounded. 469 01:03:20,125 --> 01:03:23,541 The small allowance for invalids came much later. 470 01:03:24,958 --> 01:03:26,958 So I tell myself, I need a job, 471 01:03:27,458 --> 01:03:30,458 except I only have my left hand. 472 01:03:31,583 --> 01:03:33,666 I went to find my father. 473 01:03:33,833 --> 01:03:36,041 He tells me: "I don't have enough to feed you." 474 01:03:36,208 --> 01:03:37,708 Can you imagine? 475 01:03:37,875 --> 01:03:40,458 I wandered around for a good year and I decided 476 01:03:40,625 --> 01:03:43,166 to go to St. Petersburg, my good sir, 477 01:03:43,333 --> 01:03:48,000 to ask Lenin if there might be a way to benefit from proletarian charity, 478 01:03:48,166 --> 01:03:52,125 seeing as we can still say that I shed my blood, 479 01:03:52,333 --> 01:03:54,083 that I sacrificed my life. 480 01:03:54,291 --> 01:03:56,833 And did Lenin give you charity? 481 01:03:57,041 --> 01:03:59,125 Wait, don't go too fast. 482 01:03:59,291 --> 01:04:01,000 The young man has knowledge, 483 01:04:01,166 --> 01:04:03,083 we have to proceed in order. 484 01:04:03,250 --> 01:04:06,750 Anyway, finally, from convoys 485 01:04:06,916 --> 01:04:09,708 to government wagons, I ended up arriving, 486 01:04:09,875 --> 01:04:12,791 my good sir, in St.

chick. 501 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:56,875 Huh? 502 01:04:59,625 --> 01:05:01,916 I start looking for housing, 503 01:05:02,083 --> 01:05:03,583 except it's unaffordable. 504 01:05:04,208 -->
