Original subtitles

Do you feel your legs?

Are you running at night?

What?

Hey soldier…

How much do you need?

As much as you can spare...

There’s nothing I can’t spare for those who shed blood for their homeland!

There you go. Is one hundred enough?

Enough.

Take this too, enough?

Enough, thanks man.

Sure?

Sure, thanks, man!

Sure?

Yes.

Yes? Why don’t I cut off your arms and balls too?

What, are you crazy or something?

Fuck soldier!

Why didn’t you smash him in the face?

Sanek, I have an idea...

What?

Is Andrey the “Afghan” in the city?

Seems so.

I’am sorry, this is for you.

Please take it...

What's this?

This is the recalculation about additional payments...

What is with them? Are they crazy?

What kind of payment?

Payment for Afghan veterans...

What Afghans?

Please check it here. Right here.

There was a small mistake.

Just take another look and everything will be Ok.

Good-bye.

Yes...

Good-bye.

Good-bye!

Sorry, I'll come again.

Later.

Excuse me please. Sorry.

Sorry.

Olga, why can’t they just sit at home?

They have pension, they don’t need to work.

What else do they have to do?

That’s what I’m saying. They live too long.

He says, “Eat - if you need”. The other one says, “but I don’t get the chance to eat”.

He says, “well… if you don’t get it then don’t eat”.

And the other one says, “but I do need”.

But the other one says, “if you must then eat”!

And this goes on and on.

The same for me.

There are things I can’t understand.

For example – if you promised.

To do something.

You promised to do this, right?

If you have to come at eight – you have to come at eight.

There is nothing to invent about that.

If you promised…

Then do it!

If you promised, then do it!

You said…

Or am I missing something?

You did say.

Eat if you need...

But don't eat, if you don't get it.

That's it!

It's so simple.

The grass is green and the sky is blue.

Right?

Hello!

Hello!

Are you Larisa?

Good afternoon, Lenochka.

Here are your documents, all you need, all the copies.

Now you have everything you need.

Thank you!

I’ve done all as Sergey asked me.

We are very grateful to you.

Did you get Nikolay Ivanovich a compensation on his deposit?

No, he preferred cash.

Fine, it’s his decision.

But I want to tell you – you are very lucky!

It’s a very good deal.

Such kind of apartments cost 12 millions in the center now!

Yes, I know...

Don’t worry, everything will be ok.

What do you mean?

Sergey told me everything...

What did he tell you?

It’s always hard with an ill man.

He is healthy.

You know, what I mean is...

What?

Never mind. It’s not of our business.

Sure. Good luck.

Yes, good-bye...

Well done, Anton.

Hi!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Want to try it?

Later...

Will you stop by today?

No, I don’t think so.

Don’t want to upset you wife.

Tell Ilyich “hi” from me!

Sure.

Looks like the kid is working?

Talented one.

Teach them well...

I do, I do...

What about the apartment?

Did you go to a notary office?

Yes, we did.

He signed everything.

And?

What did you decide?

Look, you say it as if it were easy for me.

He is my father after all.

I won’t last long like this...

Every day he’s getting worse.

Pavel Anatolyevich sent his mother to a great place…

I can imagine.

Look, if it’s not good for him here, what will he feel there?

So what are we supposed to do now?

Go to the grave with him?

Let’s decide.

Lena?

I don’t know.

I have to think about this.

On the 12th of October.

Of 1988…

...At the canyon…

…during the attack…

142… so, died

help arrived…

Yury Baranov...

is considered missing.

If you knew

what they are doing with us,

if you knew.

No,

I didn’t kill!

It’s a lie!

What could I do?

Yes, I could, I could. No, No, I couldn’t.

No, it’s not true!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

It’s not true!

I couldn’t!

I didn’t kill

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

What could I have done?

Could I?

It's not true! Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Daddy,

time to eat.

Leave me alone!

Thank you.

Can you imagine? They took it away, they even stole…

Dad, who stole and what?

I don’t understand, how can one…

pay for 9 years and then take it away.

How can one do it?

Dad, they have there some sort of additional recalculations...

I don’t understand. Yulya, what do you think?

Dad, I'm Lena. My name is Lena! I’m Lena, dad.

I don’t get it how could they?

If I fought, there was an order, I went there, got shot!

Survived! Pay me!

It’s not peanuts!

It’s one thousand and two hundred of Russian rubles!

Yes, Russian.

You are young, explain to me.

Here is a convoy.

This has always been the case, you follow me?

Here’s a convoy, five vehicles.

Good speed. Everything’s fine.

Going to change positions.

As it’s supposed to be: an assessment.

What they do? They let the whole convoy into the canyon.

Seems that they made it.

And then, they blow up the main tank and the last one!

And you can’t understand what is going on…

Just a second and you don’t understand!

And when you wake up if you do, of course.

And then they shoot from sides, right into your cabin.

You know, why?

They want you to panic!

And do you know what their main trick was?

Sure, I do. I know.

And?

And?

And?

What?

The bearded had only M-16 and donkeys, nothing else.

And then they got everything.

And most importantly - the suddenness.

You don’t know where they are shooting from! You don’t understand what is going on!

Nothing is clear! Understand?

And these people from the fund office look at me like at a looser at school.

Dad, enough...

There you go again!

Not anymore.

Nikolay Ivanovich,

how much is this bonus payment?

1210.

And what is your pension?

One hundred fifty.

One hundred fifty what?

A squad.

One hundred and fifty guys were killed there.

It was easier for the Afghans – they just brought the helicopter down.

And we got into such a mess.

If we had at least one armored personal carrier, armored troop carrier, one tank!

We’d have given them curtain fire; we would’ve blown their freaking asses up!

Dad, enough please!

Enough, enough!

These fat bitches from the fund,

looking with those fat muzzles.

Scums! Bitches!

Looking with their swollen blinkers.

Enough, I’ve got headache already.

Dad, there you go again!

What?

I was ten when a land mine damaged my ear.

Became invalid. I can’t sleep at night!

My head always aches.

How…

How could they – just take it away.

I need nothing else, give me what belongs to me!

I’m going to call nut house. Or police!

Do you hear me?

Go on, call them.

May be they will explain this? Why so?

First they pay me and then take it away! Why?

Can you explain me why?

Dad, what do we have to do with this?

We have no idea about what was at this war of yours!

You don't know?

No dad, we don’t.

You don't know?

Nikolay Ivanovich, I’ll call nut house myself.

You don't know?

You don't know?

Don’t know?

Don’t know?

Come here, dear. You’ll get it!

Canyon. Villages around.

They are four thousand years old!

Here goes the convoy.

This is BTR-70, BMP,

No... under cover of BMD...

here is a KAMaz SU 32-2,

Fully equipped BM...

Five trucks in the middle.

It’s a half of platoon, only a company.

In this rusty, dirty trucks there are eighteen guys.

They’ve never fucked, they’ve never got plastered with vodka yet, they…

And it is very hot around, everything is melting.

There are not enough clothes; water is worth its weight in gold.

And now Afghans start to fire.

And hit the fuel tank. That's it!

And in 4 weeks a mother receives a piece of rotten meat in a can.

And they checked it there!

Enough!

Are you freaking insane?

To make Afghanistan here!

Let’s go.

Maybe all of them are right?

And I’m not anymore?

Forgive me; I’m an old man.

And you, Sergey – forgive me.

God will forgive.

Daddy!

Pity yourself!

You say seventeenth house?

Yes.

And he’s often at the circular road?

Yes, he has a friend there.

Thanks, brother.

And what do you want from him?

He is too rich.

Guys, but he is blessed!

But he has a bundle of money in his pocket!

Yeah, right!

I saw it!

I have a gun on me.

Let’s go? May be he is still there.

If something happens.

I’ve got nothing to do with this.

Ilyich!

Ilyich!

Hey soldier!

I brought you firewood!

Listen to me, Nikolay.

I’ve already told you many times.

Don’t go nuts, brother.

How many guys were lost there?

Who counted them...

I did.

You were the squad commander.

You had to.

To send people to die, not to count them.

And you didn’t even pity your son Yushka…

You didn’t have any other warriors, did you?

I did.

Even if that’s true,

What could you have done?

It was not you who killed him, understand?

It was the war.

It’s what sent him to your company.

It’s the war that ate him up.

And conscience?

Conscience is very different at war, you know.

Take it.

Look…

Can he be some…

kind of emir now, or shah,

How do they call it?

Yes,

and he has around 40 wives.

Yes. You know.

I called Lena Yulya the other day.

Then spent half a day remembering where this name’s from.

I completely forgot about my first wife when I was a student.

You are killing yourself, Kolya, you’re killing yourself!

I’m not, it’s just one of these days.

You have a daughter, what are you thinking about?

She’s a pretty girl. A smart one. Married!

She and her husband seem to be doing pretty well, as I know.

You don’t live from hand to mouth, do you?

Are you sure you want to run around, haunt their threshold beg.

Sue them? Do you really need all this?

And what they turn out to be right, don’t they?

I don't know.

So now I’m supposed to get lost and not interfere?

Be quiet and fart my life away?

Are you talking about me?

Kolya?

May be about you.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Well, just leave it.

I need to go...

Take care, bro, take care.

Thanks for the firewood.

Stay warm.

Thanks. Stay warm and keep farting!

Come on, Kolya...

Let’s go.

By the way, Ilyich.

My kids want to send the combat leader to a nut house.

Good job!

And you are saying!

Hey, you.

Hi to veterans.

Hi.

Man, let’s do it without victims.

You think?

What made you so scared? You’re pale.

He is the veteran of Chechnya, he’s not scared.

Do you need this?

Scum!

Hello...

I’ve been waiting for you since midnight.

For the anniversary.

You got much older, commander. This last year.

This is the only way I can go. I can’t go back.

I came to say goodbye.

Forever.

Why so suddenly?

My ordeal’s come to an end.

The battalion is getting disbanded.

For a new mission or something?

I guess, one can put it this way.

Is it a good or a bad thing?

It’s a good thing, commander.

How long can it last?

It’s always good when your ordeal comes to an end.

Lucky you!

Farewell, dad.

See you!

Perhaps not soon.

Well,

you forgive me.

Wait,

I didn't let you go yet!

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Ok, that’s all, bye, I have to stop by my mother…

No, let them stay with you for a while. I’ll take it later.

Ok, it’s up to you.

You know what?

I think we shouldn’t have offended the old man.

Come on, what’s wrong with you?

No, I’m fine.

I remember you said once, when we boozed,

that you also went to Afghanistan?

It was a funny story.

After I’d finished my studies, I became a driver on a fuel truck.

The convoy – right there.

On my first ride our convoy got into a mess.

I was shot in my leg, and sent back to the Soviet Union.

So I was an international warrior only for four hours and a half.

Why?

Never mind.

Okay, give me the money.

All of them.

What’s wrong with you?

We have a lunch break, don’t you see?

I’m sorry.

We took a look.

Baranov.

You sorted it out, didn’t you?

That’s good.

So, a federal law came out, number 122.

This bonus of yours, a thousand,

they took it away, but they increased a pension instead.

They took it away?

Go home!

Yes, they took it away.

The benefit compensation law.

Bonuses, benefits, they took away all the extras and added it to the pension.

To the overall sum.

Extras?

Veteran’s?

To the overall sum?

Look at you!!! You’re here to push for your rights?!

We’ve got thousands like you coming here every day and begging.

Begging?

Veteran’s payment? The Afghan? Begging for my payment?

I'll call for the guard.

My payment? You won’t give me that?

No!

You won’t?

No!
