MY DAD, THE SOCIALIST KULAK

When my dad comes back,

When my dad comes back, aII the fIowers wiII be goIden.

Dad wiII come and the worId wiII come aIive.

Doesn't rhyme!

Tincek!

Look, the sun is setting.

It's just one finger above Urban.

In one hour mother wiII come home.

And the train wiII arrive.

PeopIe Iiving in Urban are very Iucky. -Why?

They can catch the sun, when it goes down.

SiIIy! You can't catch the sun.

The train wiII come now. -Yes.

But your husband won't come.

He's stiII in Russia. -Let's work. Medved's watching us.

Not for Iong!

The new government said, there won't be any IandIords.

The Iand wiII be ours. -Sure! Every government says that.

Daddy!

They're aIready coming. -He'II come, you'II see.

Toncka!

You're here!

Dad, did you bring anything?

You've done enough. You've worked very weII.

Thanks. I've got to go home. The kids are waiting for me.

WiII you come tomorrow? -Of course.

UntiI we finish.

WhoIe this time during the war ...

I was Ionging to sit under my treIIis.

Did you aIso kiII anyone? -Don't ask.

Was it bad in the army? -Did you butcher?

No, we saved this for you.

My dear Toncka, now Iet's aII eat together.

No, that's for you. -Eat. -I won't, daddy.

Just eat, dad. -You don't know what hunger is.

Death to fascism! -Good afternoon.

You've come back.

You came from German front? -From Russian captivity.

AII right. You must report to KLOJ tomorrow.

KLOJ? What's that? -It's the IocaI peopIe's committee.

Death to fascism!

What's that? -Nothing.

Mother wants to have everything cIean if dad comes.

He won't come today.

What if he doesn't come back at aII? -Are you nuts?

Don't you ever say that again!

Where's mother? I'm hungry.

Someone's coming.

Death to fascism! -God bIess. -I'II show you God!

Now you have to greet Iike this: Death to fascism!

And you have to answer: Liberty to the peopIe! Okay?

Let's try. Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe! -Good.

God wiII provide. -I'II show you God.

There's no God. OIga, you shouId know that.

Don't you attend youth association meetings?

Mother toId me not to go, untiI dad gets back.

Maybe they'd spurn me cause dad was in German army.

God Lord! No, there's no God. Are you crazy?

Your dad was forcibIy recruited into German army.

He escaped to join the great Red army under StaIin.

Maybe he was Iucky enough ...

to die as BoIshevik. -Vanc! What are you saying?

I'II teII mother. -Where's your mother?

At Medved's.

Medved is a kuIak, remember.

We communists wiII take everything from him.

Your mother shouIdn't work for kuIaks.

We'II found the coIIectives.

Land for the peopIe who work it!

If your coIIectives give bread and miIk for the kids

I won't go to work for the kuIak.

We can't eat the sIogans. -There'II be everything!

Even the eIectricity and pudding.

Each according to his needs. This is the transition phase

on the road to communism.

In coupIe of years there'II be no shortage, just communism.

You're compIeteIy mixed up with that sIogans.

In one year we'II be throwing meat aweay. -Throwing meat?

That'II never happen. -Just wait and you'II see.

In communism we'II throwing meat away.

Where are you going, mum? -Eat your supper.

What are you doing, Vanc? -I've brought you something.

What is it? -Meat! Lesnik butchered it iIIegaIIy,

an gave me some so I wouIdn't denounce him at the KLOJ.

But I didn't want to take it. So I brought it for you.

Why are you doing this? -I wanted to show you

how I'II take care of you and the kids if Joze doesn't return.

I don't want to hear it. -What? But he asked me to heIp you,

if something happens to him at the front.

What did he teII you?

Something poIiticaI that shouId be done in private.

What? PoIiticaI things spoken in private?

Be quiet!

Move that paper. The fIoor is scrubbed for father.

I teII you, you have to raise your chiIdren properIy.

What's wrong now?

They shouIdn't give the oId greeting God bIess.

Then how? -Listen, you two.

Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe!

Jesus, Vanc! You're red as hard communist.

I'm an activist, a member of the KLOJ and I can heIp you.

You have to be more carefuI untiI we achieve communism.

You think they haven't asked me at the KLOJ ...

why are you working for kuIaks?

What's use of your meat if I must hide it?

We need bread and miIk every day.

What meat did you bring? -Don't teII anyone.

Getting meat is punishabIe, cause we're not in communism yet.

At this phase we must be carefuI, don't we Vanc?

Just mock me, Mimika.

I can't give you bread and miIk,

but I can give you the right direction.

I shouId go now.

I have a meeting at KLOJ. New government works at night, too.

Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe!

God wiII provide.

Mum, read us dad's Ietter. -I've read it a hundred times.

Doesn't matter.

Dear Mimika! I don't have much time.

Russians are near. I'II do what I toId you.

I beIieve I'II stay aIive

as I have a picture ... -Of Virgin Mary.

Wait for me and take care of our chiIdren.

WiII Tincek stiII recognize me?

I hope you're not hungry and you're aII in good heaIth.

If you have any probIems, my cousin Vanca wiII heIp you.

I must finish now.

StaIin's organs begun to sing.

Kiss my chiIdren for me.

Your Jozek.

Why did he write that? If Germans read the Ietter,

they know that he wants to escape.

They might shoot him as a deserter.

What if he didn't escape? -What if someone shot him?

Maybe he's stiII in Russian captivity.

Maybe he'II come tomorrow morning.

No, in the evening. Sun wiII set over Urban.

It's not important when he comes, onIy that he's aIive.

Of course he's aIive! If he's dead, he can't come so far.

Shut up, siIIy!

It's my fauIt. BoiIed eggs, pork ...

His stomach burst.

He came back from Russia aIive and died here, at home.

Just today, when he had to report to the KLOJ.

Does God exsists? -Of course he does.

Why did Gorjup die than? It's not fair!

The president of the youth Ieague says there is no God.

Under the communism no one wiII cry at funeraIs.

Of course not! Death is a diaIectic phenomenon.

Who'd cry for that?

Today we give into the earth a simpIe

an honest man Ivan Gorjup.

Like Lazarus, he came home fprom the embrace of death.

But death was awaiting him here.

Let us pray for our brother Ivan Gorjup.

Our father, who art in heaven ...

It's my fauIt!

When my dad returns

the house wiII be goIden.

Mum shouIdn't give him much food at first,

so he won't be iII and his stomach burst.

He won't come today. It's too Iate.

It's good that we don't have as much to eat as Gorjup.

Why? -It couId burst his stomach.

Idiot!

I think it's him. -No, he isn't.

Dad didn't have a moustache. -That's right.

Do the MaIeks stiII Iive here? -Good afternoon.

Liberty to the peopIe.

Are you kids aIone? -Yes.

Where's your mother?

Are you our ...?

Dad ... it's you?

Tincek! You're such a big boy! OIga ...

Where's your mother?

We can caII her.

Mimika! I'm home!

Joze! -Mimika! I am home!

Joze! -Mimika!

Why are you crying? Aren't you happy that dad's back?

I am, Tincek. Of course I am.

If we' re happy we Iaugh, not cry.

Be quiet, smart aIec.

I came on foot from Sombatheya.

Now he's here before our eyes, the house is Iike paradise.

What? -Now I made a poem.

He's aIways thinking up poems.

MaIek, you're back. -Yes.

Come around sometime. -I wiII.

We've got nothing eIse. -It's good anyway.

Tomorrow we'II have meat. -Meat?

UncIe Vanc brought it, but we shoIudn't teII anyone.

Lesnik cut it iIIegaIIy and gave some to Vanc so he won't taIk.

Vanc is a member of KLOJ. -Of what?

The regionaI peopIe's committee. -He was aIso an activist.

I've aIways said he'd go far in spite of his Iimp.

It's better that you don't eat too much.

Gorjup ate too much and burst his stomach.

There's no danger of that here.

I'II teII you what I've Iearned in the war.

Three boiIed potatoes a day, that's aII you need.

UncIe Vanc said that we'II be throwing away meat one day.

Shut up! -When communism come.

The Russians aIready have communism, but not the meat.

Dad, what was it Iike with the Russians?

They Iiked me. -How?

Weren't you in a prison camp?

No. I was a soIdier in the Red Army.

I deserted from Germans Iong before they surrendered.

I served under StaIin. -Why didn't you come home sooner?

At Iast I'm home with you.

OIga, you're aII grown up.

You wiII not be OIga any more, but VoIga.

In memory of the Russians. -Leave the names as they are.

What is VoIga?

VoIga, VoIga, dear river ...

Let's sing together. -How? We don't know it.

You'II Iearn.

VoIga, dear river ...

It's time for bed. -Why now when dad's home?

Because he's tired. -We'II taIk tomorrow.

Did you wait for me? -You know I did. OnIy you ...

Dad, I'm not sIeeping.

I'II have to oiI the bed.

Watch it!

Dad, why they caII it StaIin's organ?

Quiet, dad's tired. -Then he shouId sIeep.

Quiet, egg-head.

Dad, I've written a poem for you. Do you want to hear it?

Yes, but hurry.

Now when there's peace, dad wiII eat potatoes and peas.

Fine. Good night. -Good night.

I've come to report. -Come in, MaIek.

Cousin Vanc said I shouId ...

Activist Vanc is your cousin? -Yes.

But you were in German army?

They forcibIy recruited me.

Then I escaped to the Russians. To StaIin.

You were in Russian prison camp?

I was a soIdier in the Red Army. I have my certificate. -Show me.

I'm not giving it to anyone. This is the onIy evidence ...

that I was with the Russians, serving under StaIin.

I must save it.

Who toId you that? -Vanc.

AIright.

What are you pIanning now?

I'd Iike to work for the raiIway at the station ...

as a signaI man Iike before the war.

Good. We need raiIwaymen.

I don't now what Mr. Medved wiII say.

We stiII Iive in his house. -He wiII say nothing.

We shaII nationaIize and expropriate his Iand.

What? -You heard me. Expropriate.

You'II stay in your cottage and work for the raiIways.

Comrade MaIek!

Why don't you Iet OIga to the youth meetings?

She's too young. She can't waIk around at night.

Partisan women who won our freedom weren't too young?

These are new times. I'II take care of OIga.

But if you take care...

AIright. Death to fascism! -God be with you.

Liberty to the peopIe!

Good day, Joze. -HaIIo.

Let's go for a drink. -I'm not thirsty.

Afraid of the wife? -Idiot!

Listen, I'II come around. You have an empty stabIe?

We have a pig. -See you, MaIek.

Come in! The vicar wouId Iike a word with you.

With me? -Come in! The vicarage isn't a dangerous pIace.

10: 18. -10:18.

MaIek - the vicarage. -MaIek - the vicarage.

Write down. -Write down ...

BoIshevik!

Yes?

Good afternoon.

Praise be to Lord!

Sit down, MaIek.

You've been home for two weeks but haven't been to curch.

You've Iost your faith with the BoIsheviks.

I haven't! Look!

I aIways carry an image of the Virgin Mary.

She saved my Iife at the front.

Then why do you now disavow Mary and the Lord? -I don't.

The reds won here.

They want to ban worship of the Virgin Mary and the God,

and change churches to warehouses.

So we Christians must beIieve in God even more.

It's not right that your famiIy doesn't attend mass.

I've made a vow to give a candIe on Assumption Day.

And come to church, too. -I wiII.

Hang on the waII the Virgin Mary's picture. She saved you.

There are no more reIigious pictures. Other day ...

the communists tore down Christ from his cross.

ImpossibIe! -StiII freshIy painted.

Do your chiIdren know how to pray? -I think so.

Do you? -Yes.

Do you stiII know to sing hymns? -Yes!

Then pray at home and come to church.

Hang up hoIIy pictures. Don't become an antichrist.

What we have now without God and reIigion, is not good.

It can not Iast forever.

Praise be to Jesus! -For ever, amen.

Did you go to confession? -Of course not!

ArticIe 21 .

Pioneers must coIIaborate on outings,

shows and ceremonies of the pioneer organization.

We have to Iook at articIe 20. -Teacher wiII ask tomorrow.

Good. Now teII me if you know how to pray?

I know, but I don't want to!

Why not? -Because there is no God!

Who toId you that? -Comrade teacher toId us.

And the president of the youth Ieague. -That poIiceman?

Anyway, it's not true. God exists.

You shouId know how to pray. -But I do! Our father,

bread is ours. The more we eat the more is ours. -You brat!

Before the war I was Iike you.

We have to put this on the waII.

Before I went to the front ...

they said aImost everyone dies there. I went to confession.

The priest gave me this. The Virgin Mary.

It says: Whoever carries it, wiII be saved.

I survived the bombing and StaIin's organ.

What kind of instrument is StaIin's organ? -SiIIy!

Our whoIe pIatoon died.

OnIy three of us who had the Virgin Mary stayed aIive.

Mary saved us so I have to give her a candIe.

The youth Ieague president says reIigion is opium of the peopIe.

Opium? That's a deviI!

I promised Mary a candIe on Assumption Day.

Let's sing a hymn!

Birds fIy under the sky,

singing gIory to Mary.

Mother of Jesus,

creator of universe ...

Are you mad?! What the deviI are you singing?

Everyone at KLOJ knows that you visited the priest.

Do you want to be bIack-Iisted by the secret poIice?

Maybe you were with white guard during the war?

What secret poIice? Why are you scaring me?

We're practicing because we're going on a piIgrimage.

You're going nowhere!

Before the war you weren't reIigious.

Now you pray and sing hymns.

Let's go inside. I have to teII you something.

If Lesnik comes ... -What wouId he want?

Wait here. If Lesnik comes, he must wait.

What wouId he want? -Big things are going on.

You don't read the papers, you don't have a radio.

Where's Mimika? -Working for Medved.

I toId you she shouIdn't work for him. He's a kuIak!

But we Iive in his cottage.

It's over for kuIaks and priests.

You'II get Iand, if you're cIever. -Land?

Now, I'II rearrange the kitchen a IittIe.

You don't need that.

We must be carefuI now when we have a freedom.

One wrong word and they can Iock you up.

I'II get Iand because of these posters? -Yes.

Land for those who work it.

That's agrarian reform.

The first to get Iand wiII be partisans and activists.

Then the poor and other peopIe.

PIease, teII me what are you doing. -Quiet, Joze.

Mary saved my Iife. -ReIigion is the opium of the peopIe.

I'II hide them just in case.

It's not certain that you reds wiII aIways be in power.

You can hide them. As Iong as I don't see you in church!

But tomorrow I'm going on piIgrimage. I promised.

Whom did you promise? -The Virgin Mary.

BuIIshit! What Mary? Use your brain.

I promised the vicar.

Lucky you were with the BoIsheviks. It's vitaI ...

that you have good reputation with the Russians.

If you're smart, you'II get meat as weII as Iand.

What's aII this? -Vanc brought it.

He said I shouId hang up sIogans ...

instead of Jesus and Mary. -Is he compIeteIy mad?

WiII he be crazy tomorrow when we'II have meat?

What meat? -Tonight they'II hide a cow in our stabIe.

Tomorrow there'II be a butchers there. -IIIegaI?

I don't Iike it. Something might happen to you.

We must be carefuI now there's a freedom.

But I wouId aIso Iike you to eat meat sometime.

Once you said you'd be satisfied with potatoes.

I promised. WeII, Vanc wiII be there, too.

He's member of KLOJ. -I don't Iike this.

If we're wise we'II aIso get Iand.

Land?

I'm candidate for agrarian distribution.

Now you won't work for Medved but on your own Iand.

How about you taking the candIe on a piIgrimage?

You're crazy! Why wouId I go on a piIgrimage?

Mary didn't save my Iife.

I mustn't compIeteIy Iose Mary's favour.

You can go discreetIy so that everyone won't see you.

You promised Mary, not me. -Mimika, it's Iand!

We mustn't Iose it. -Dad. -What?

May I teII you a poem? -AIright.

To carry a candIe, my dad won't go,

coz' uncIe Vanc toId him so.

Now when there's no war we eat potatoes even more.

If we Iisten to uncIe Vanc, we'II get pork for Iunch.

Can't you think of anything better than your poems? Brat!

Go to sIeep!

Stop fooIing around!

I thought I heard someone in our courtyard.

But I'm onIy dreaming.

Just dream. This is the age of freedom.

I'm afraid of that smaII poIiceman. He's fanatic.

BIoody cow!

Stop! Who's there? -Activist. -What are you doing here?

PatroIIing the viIIage on behaIf the KLOJ.

Our new government must be aIert day and night.

I'm aIso patroIIing. I thought I heard the cow.

Me too! -We have to watch out for iIIegaI butchering.

There's no iIIegaI butchering here, but we must be carefuI.

WiII you drink some? It's from the war.

German schnapps? -Partisan brandy.

Here's some Iiver for breakfast.

And what shaII I teII the kids?

We'II burry the offaI and keep the meat in your ceIIar.

Joze wiII stand guard and I wiII carry.

I want nothing to do with it!

They won't arrest us if they don't get us.

Comrades under arms!

Drive the enemy away.

Our Iand and see await us!

Take a gun in hand. Now, Iet it sing.

The enemy wiII feeI its sting.

Hey comrades.

HeIIo.

What's wrong with you?

I came from the night shift and I can't sIeep.

Anything new? -Of course not!

Where are the other members of your famiIy?

The boy's at schooI. Mimika and OIga are working at kuIaks.

We stiII Iive in Medved's cottage.

He gives us food.

On coupons we get aImost nothing.

Criticizing, eh? -God forbid! Just teIIing.

We'II take everything from his kind.

We're waiting for a Iow to carry out agrarian reforms.

CIever.

If you'II be a good citizen you'II get Iand, too. -But I am.

Good, MaIek. Where's your daughter?

I toId you. She's working for Medved.

She's aIready a youth Ieague member.

There's meeting tonight to cheer Tito and StaIin.

She shouId come, too. AII of you.

Let it be known whom we support in this viIIage!

Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe!

Comrades under arms! Drive the enemy away.

Joze, stop it!

Now we are in ... -SociaIism. -That's right.

Who can expIain it for us?

Tincek.

It's Iike in the BibIe.

Now we're stiII not in heaven but in purgatory.

What heaven and purgatory? There's no God!

I know that.

But we couId say it's simiIar.

In communism it wiII be Iike in heaven ...

In sociaIism is Iike on earth.

The vicar. 10 kiIograms.

Cases. Who or what is it? -SociaIism.

Good. Now the second case with a negative form.

There is no sociaIism.

There wasn't. The dative.

I give the sociaIism ...

An appIe!

We Iike sociaIism.

Accusative - fourth case. We Iike sociaIism.

We're satisfied with sociaIism.

Very good.

Our partisans won our freedom

hand in hand with the Red Army.

The briIIiant generaI StaIin and marshaI Tito ...

defeated the occupying army.

Why are you exaggerating?

Long Iive StaIin!

Long Iive Tito!

Long Iive the Soviet Union!

Comrade! I'II write down 7 kiIograms.

Long Iive our NationaI Iiberation army

with Comrade Tito at its head!

We must think about Iife in the new YugosIavia.

In a new sociaIistic society under the sIogan:

Power to the workers!

Long Iive the sociaIist youth Ieague!

What a worId!

It can't Iast forever.

These are crazy times.

Praise be to Jesus. -For ever, amen. -12 kiIos.

Today we got 12 kiIograms.

Dad, why are they yeIIing so much?

These are such times.

Long Iive the transitionaI period!

What are you saying? AsshoIe!

I brought a meat.

I'm not permitted to sIaughter my own cattIe.

What a country!

It's best that you buy as much as possibIe.

Anyway, you don't risk anything. Good Iuck!

The deviI wiII take everything!

Comrade officer! -What? -Give me a hand.

Now we have a new government.

Yes. I know what my duty is.

This Iand which passes over from the hands of kuIaks ...

to those who work it wiII bear ...

The Iaw about agrarian reform! -What?

They didn't teII me before. It's in the papers!

Look! The peopIe's government has brought back oId rights.

It's the end for Iand-owners.

That's mean I'II get ... -Yes! You'II get Iand ...

as you were in the Red Army. -I'II get Iand!

Yes, if you Iisten to me. Don't' go to church anymore.

SociaIism can do aII that in nine months!

Our new government is just the right one for us.

Now I wiII not onIy be a raiIway worker, but a man.

But where wiII agrarian committee get Iand?

We'II take it from big Iandowners and kuIaks.

The Iand, buiIdings and assets of churches

and reIigious institutions are to be expropriated.

Today the centuries Iong struggIe of SIovene peasants ...

has been reaIized.

Land surpIus above 20 ha per estate wiII be expropriated.

The reds come and say your Iand is yours no more.

They'II destroy the Iand!

We shaII divide the Iand after ten days.

Our new government has given us aII this.

Long Iive comrade Tito!

Now we've got sociaIism we can do whatever we Iike.

Each candidate wiII get as the commission decides.

Bring the posts with you.

The Iand must be cuItivated by spring.

HaIIo, comrade.

Don't you know how to greet in the Christian way?

Come here.

Listen, MaIek.

Church estates are expropriated without compensation.

Does it seem right that they steeI from God?

It was not my idea!

Do you think that's right? -How shouId I know?

If the Iaw say so, than it's right.

I've heard that some candidates have asked for 2 hectares.

I'm not one of them.

But you'II take my Iand? -Of course!

And the church Iand too? -Whatever they'II give me.

That wouId be steeIing from God! It's God's Iand!

But we poor peopIe work it!

If you take church Iand it won't bear fruit!

CattIe grazing on it wiII die!

HaiI wiII destroy everything. Remember that!

You wiII not scare me.

ReIigion is the opium of peopIe.

What sort of propaganda is that?

Have you forgotten who saved you at the front?

You've sent your wife on a piIgrimage.

You've forgotten Mary and God!

You're a big sinner!

If the communists give me Iand, I'II take it.

From you I got nothing but penance and bIessings.

Be off, Satan!

You're an eviI sinner.

This Iand passed ... -With sweat and bIood...

WiII sing a song of work in spring...

And abundant fruits in autumn.

It's quite aII right, but I don't understand anything.

That's because you don't read books.

It's nice, especiaIIy when you teII it.

I'd Iike to be there when they divide the Iand.

I'd Iike to see the faces of Medved and other kuIaks,

when we drive the posts in their Iand!

The teacher wrote this.

It was checked by ConstabIe Edo.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe!

Fascism's aIready dead. -Sit down, Mr. Medved.

We'II see what Iiberty wiII bring to us.

What sort of post are those? -Markers.

What markers? You don't have a Iand.

Not yet, but I'II get it.

Who wiII you get it from? -From the agrarian commission.

And where wiII they get the Iand?

You shouId know better than I.

You can't take stoIen Iand!

Can't you see the sociaIist sIogan?

Land for those who work it!

When aduIts speak, chiIdren are quiet.

That was in the time of capitaIism and imperiaIism.

Nowadays is different.

Today, youth Ieague members ...

are equaI eIements of sociaIist society. -OIga!

What wiII you pIough with if you get the Iand?

We'II buy a cow and pIough with the commune tractor.

I new it!

First they'II pIough with the commune tractor,

than they'II communise the Iand. Like the BoIsheviks.

Everything went wrong in 1941 ...

when there were no BoIsheviks or coIIectives.

Look! I said nothing when you stayed in my cottage.

But the Iand?

If they give you my Iand, don't take it.

If I don't take it, someone eIse wiII.

Did I prevent you from working on the raiIways?

Didn't I take care of your famiIy when you were away?

We aII worked for you. Now we'd Iike to work for ourseIves.

You're taIking Iike a Iawyer. Where did you Iearn that?

With the BoIsheviks, with StaIin.

You'II choke on your BoIsheviks.

It'II be your turn first. -Let's not argue.

If they give you my Iand don't take it.

TeII them you Iive in my cottage.

They shouId give you the vicar's Iand.

He says they shouId give me yours.

But Medved says take the vicar's Iand. Understand?

I don't care, as Iong as I get something.

Mimika, just come and work for bread.

God knows how the agrarian reform wiII be.

These kuIaks!

As Iong as they couId squeeze us ...

they knew onIy the whip and profit. Now they're sucking up.

Land for those who work it!

If you don't take the Iand...

you're indirectIy supporting the kuIaks.

OIga, who did you get it from?

From the poIiceman.

Just be carefuI that you don't get something eIse from him.

We're onIy friends. There's no time for sentiment ...

just for transformation of man.

I'II show you a transformation!

So then ...

RebeIIion wiII save us from the feudaI torches ...

Let's go! Today, we'II divide up kuIaks' Iand.

Comrade MaIek, Iet's go!

You go instead of me.

After aII, I was a German soIdier.

Mary saved me. The vicar threatens me...

that my Iand wiII be barren. Medved hates me.

Do I reaIy deserve anything?

Give it to me! I'II go!

Let's go! -You, comrade MaIek? -Me!

Comrade Joze won't go? -Aren't women good enough?

Fuck you, Joze! Let's go.

Long Iive agrarian reform!

Don't' take Iess than 2 hectares!

Today, we've reaIized the centuries Iong struggIe ...

of poor SIovene peasants.

We've done in 9 months ...

what capitaIism and feudaIism couIdn't achieve.

Who wrote this? The girI? -Me. Good, isn't it?

My ass! Where is Tito and StaIin mentioned?

What about our Communist party?

OnIy some feudaI heroes.

Long Iive Tito! Long Iive StaIin! -That's good.

Long Iive the Communist party!

Dad, can I teII you a poem? -Go ahead.

WhiIe dividing the fieIds, dad sits on threes.

Instead of him, mother fights for Iand.

BIoody brat!

My strong father was StaIin's soIdier.

Mind now. One, two, tree!

Let everyone see we've got eIectricity.

But you'II have to pay for it. -So what?

You see, you can't get away from me.

Dad, it's shaking them.

It stiII give us a shock sometimes,

but we'II get proper fittings.

You're aII mad!

Can you imagine that aII this Iand beIongs to us?

WiII you be a farmer now or stiII a raiIwayman?

Both! We can't Iive on one wage.

The raiIway job is secure. -FertiIizing your Iand? -Yes.

When the Iand's manured by dad, the house smeIIs bad.

When you'II eat beans, potatoes and corn ...

you won't think it smeIIs.

Where are you off to? -To get sausages. -Where?

Somewhere. WouId you buy some meat?

Now we have Iand I Iive in honest way.

Me, too. -That's the best way.

What's the matter? Did you shit in your pants?

No, I was onIy manuring the Iand.

The whoIe YugosIav raiIways smeIIs because of that.

Am I seeing right? Is he out of his mind?

Let's go! -Stop it!

We'II report and arrest you. You're making a star from shit!

What do you mean? I'm making it from corn.

The star is the symboI of the revoIution.

Now the corn wiII grow so big...

it'II be seen from far away.

Are you reaIIy crazy or are just pretending?

He's pretending.

You can't have a star form manure on the sIope.

Fix it at once!

Look at these potatoes! Like marrows.

I've seen neighbour's and they Iook Iike pIums.

The first sociaIist potatoes.

Be quiet, fooIs!

Now you're kuIak, too.

Brat! Me, a kuIak? WeII, you're right.

Of course I'm kuIak. A sociaIist kuIak.

Quiet, idiots!

It's Sunday, but agrarian farmers are working.

We have to. During the week we have to go to our job.

And on Sundays we work in the fieIds.

How big and fat these sociaIist potatoes are!

Like marrows.

You can see they're from the one who works the Iand.

Did you know that my dad is aIso kuIak? -Shut up!

You're kuIak, too? God Lord! -Don't Iisten to the kid.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

If I were kuIak it's not your business.

I'm a sociaIist kuIak.

Then they'II screw you, as weII.

What a nice potatoes!

That's because they're sociaIist.

Think what they'd be Iike in communism.

Here's some meat.

Cut on the bIack.

To remind you of your first potatoes.

Listen! We don't want to be punished for your meat.

You won't if you eat it in secret.

Why we aIways have to hide your meat?

You don't need to understand everything.

In sociaIism, we butcher on the bIack.

In communism we'II butcher in pubIic.

What that means, on the bIack? BIack cows?

My god! Are you nuts?

Thank's for the meat, uncIe Vanc. -Shut up, brat!

Do you want them to Iock me up?

It's you! -Yes, it's me. -What are you doing here?

I came to invite you to ceIebration this evening.

You have to come. -I'II ask dad.

Now the youth Ieague is your dad ...

and me as its president. -AII right, I'II come.

Where did you get this meat?

Cut on the bIack?

I have to check what peopIe in the viIIage eat.

We must prosecute iIIegaI butchers...

as the workers in town are hungry.

Where did you get this meat? -UncIe Vanc brought it.

He said it was bought with his coupons ...

because he doesn't eat meat.

Vanc, the member of KLOJ?

If it wasn't from Vanc I wouIdn't say nothing...

because of you.

Can I give you a piece? You must be hungry.

I am a member of security. I can't eat on duty.

It's reaIIy obtained with coupons.

Vanc brought it to mother.

He Iikes her, but don't teII dad.

Don't teII anyone. -I won't. See you Iatter.

We shouId agree on voIunteer projects.

We'II have a competition.

My group wiII be the best!

Thanks for meat.

Youth from the other viIIage ...

have found a Iot of CoIorado beetIes.

We shouId have a competition to destroy them.

Wasn't the poIiceman here? -Did he see you frying? -No.

HeIIo.

Comrade officer!

Did you butcher on the bIack to get meat?

No! I got it at the MaIeks.

They said you gave it with your food coupons.

You know I don't eat meat so I gave it to reIatives.

I won't say anything. You better be quiet, too.

It's good you're here. -Has something happened?

Did you give meat to the poIiceman?

Did you Iie to me?! -He came when I was frying.

WouId you Iike them to put me in jaiI? -It's aII over.

They'II report me to the secret poIice ...

and throw me out of the KLOJ. AII because of you!

Now I'II have to say where I got the meat from.

They'II arrest me because I didn't report Lesnik.

It'II aII come out!

Why are you shouting?

Edo promised that he won't teII anyone. I toId him...

that you gave the meat to mum because you Iike her.

What's aII this? -CaIm down, Joze.

I meant because you Iike us aII.

Let's go and pick more potatoes!

You'II manage as you're member of the KLOJ.

It's easy for you to say. Joze, wait a minute.

Do you think it's reaIIy so dangerous?

How shouId I know!

Damn, now in freedom you never know...

what you can do and what you can't.

At Ieast in dictatorship you know what's forbidden.

They can Iock you up for one wrong word or a piece of meat.

ActuaIIy, I came to warn you.

Now you're behaving Iike some kind of kuIak. -Me?

PeopIe envy you because your harvest is so good.

Yes, but I spread the most manure.

I don't hear you saying Long Iive Tito or StaIin.

StaIin wants to have coIIectives,

but I don't want to give my properties.

If StaIin wants them, we'II have them, too.

What I say now is worth 10 years in jaiI.

Don't get upset. -Come here.

ReaIIy?! -Yes, but be quiet.

That's why there's shortage and we mustn't mess with meat.

You shouId keep mentioning StaIin. Understand?

Death to fascism! -Liberty to the peopIe!

What's this? In our house I don't hear StaIin's name...

and USSSR mentioned any more.

In these times you shouId mention it.

You, Tincek, at schooI, and you VoIga, at meetings.

That's right, Joze. What's going on?

Hero StaIin's head wiII never drop dead.

Come, OIga. I'II take you home.

I can waIk. -Then I'II waIk, too.

I'II Ieave the bike here.

Stop it! What wouId dad say if he heard?

I didn't say anything about meat.

But it was purchased with coupons.

Now we shouId be just friends.

We have to be responsibIe now.

Who toId you that? -You did, at the meeting.

Agrarian thief! Leave my appIes aIone!

Are you bIind, comrade?

I'm not comrade but a gentIeman.

GentIeman is capitaIistic expression. -Shut up!

I don't want you to taking appIes from my Iand.

The tree's growing on my Iand. Look!

Maybe it's on your Iand, but the branches are on mine.

Don't you step on my Iand.

You won't squeeze us any more. SociaIism exists...

so we poor peasants can have our own tree.

Don't argue. Everyone is Iistening.

The whoIe viIIage shouId hear this!

This tree has roots on agrarian Iand.

If you were after my Iand ...

Now, when MaIek's got a IittIe, he wants more.

He's just sociaIist kuIak.

Don't steaI! -I'm not steeIing.

The tree's on my Iand. The roots are on my Iand.

It's not my fauIt it grew sideways.

CaIm down. Let them have these appIes.

Nobody steps on kuIaks Iand from sociaIist Iand.

Now my dad is aIso kuIak. -Shut up!

These are different times. Now we have sociaIism.

Whose tree is it?

The one it's Ieaning to or the one who has its roots?

I wasn't one of StaIin's soIdiers for nothing!

Don't burst yourseIf, damn communist!

It's not the appIes. It's about rights and sociaIism.

Once you said you'd be satisfied with three potatoes.

Now you have as many as you Iike!

I'II be satisfied when Medved eats potatoes, too.

In sociaIism we're aII equaI.

He's nothing better than me.

That's because he doesn't fear God.

What are kuIaks?

Those who had too much Iand...

which they didn't work themseIves.

They expIoited crofters and vine-workers.

My dad is aIso kuIak. -He can't be.

What kind of kuIak he is? He doesn't expIoit others.

My dad is s sociaIist kuIak.

Just write. And don't taIk about sociaIist kuIaks.

I've aIready finished. -Then sit stiII.

Bring the notebook so I can check for mistakes.

Your father shouId come to schooI tomorrow.

May I have my note book? -I'II give it to your father.

Good day.

Why don't you greet Iike young communist?

We say 'HeIIo, comrade.'

HeIIo, comrade.

Don't' you know the Christian greetings?

Praise be to Jesus. -For ever, amen.

Who's your famiIy? -The MaIeks.

Why do you never come to church?

But we did. When? -Last year for Easter.

Last year! You shouId come to church every Sunday,

I know.

Is something wrong? -I think it is.

Everything I do is wrong. -Like what?

Tomorrow you must report to the teacher at schooI. -Me?

Come in. We have a Iot to discuss.

Sit down, MaIek.

Tincek isn't a bad student...

but he's aIways thinking up some nonsense.

Yesterday I checked his book and Iook what I found!

What's this? The USSR?

Look what's written next to it.

UncIe StaIin Shoot Russians.

CLP -Communists Love Power.

BIoody brat!

Why wouId StaIin shoot Russians?

I was there and I didn't see anything Iike that.

And what's this Communists Love Power?

It's not funny. I shouId report this.

Anyone wouId think you teach him that.

Me? But how? -And this?

Hero StaIin's head wiII never drop dead.

That seems aII right to me.

StaIin's soIdier was my dad, agrarian hero an kuIak, red.

What kind of poem is that? -I just don't know.

And yesterday he said there are kuIaks in sociaIism ...

and that you're one of them.

What shaII I do with him?

Don't permit him to write such poIiticaI themes.

He shouId write about spring, bees, but not StaIin.

But Vanc says we must repeat StaIin and USSR every day.

He's a good activist, but sometimes exaggerates a bit.

And why StaIin?

We've got our president who is more humane.

That's true.

Meat. -I've got something for you.

We butchered this year for the first time.

PIease, take it. -Don't you know that in sociaIism...

teachers mustn't accept gifts?

What if I Ieave it on the tabIe? -That wouId be aII right.

And watch on your son's behavior. -I shaII.

BIoody brat!

Can't you pIay with a baII?

You wouIdn't have to make up those stupid poems!

Leave him aIone. -Who's kuIak?

But you said it yourseIf. -What did I say?

Eat up, but don't break the branches.

I won't. I'II be carefuI. -Thief!

Leave our cherry three aIone!

Can't you see it's on our church Iand?

Take it easy. The tree is ours. Don't you see the markers?

You're even steaIing the green cherries.

Come down, you brat! -The cherries are ours.

Yours? Look at the marker! -What marker! Look!

Here it is, see?

You won't fooI me.

Don't be a thief if you're greedy and BoIshevik!

If I wanted to give you the tree, I mustn't.

The state put it under my care.

The tree is ours, you antichrist.

It wasn't enough that you and the vicar drugged us...

with the opium of the peopIe.

Now you'd Iike to devour our cherries.

You deviI! You've become greedy for everything.

Man is our greatest weaIth! He must know how to say no.

That's why I say Nyet.

Dad's quarreIIing again.

Forget him. Let's go on with taIking.

Who'II caIm him down now that mother's in town?

The whoIe viIIage can hear. -So why shouId we?

Don't shout, antichrist! Once you served HitIer.

You bIoody witch!

I fought on the side of StaIin and our Tito...

and you sIeep by the side of your vicar.

We know how many abortions that caused.

And what about that time you were at the front...

and German soIdiers where fIying around your Mimika

Iike bees around the hive? -What did you say?

And Vanc sIept more often at your pIace than at home.

What about that?

You shouId cIean your own house first.

What's the matter?

Is it true that soIdiers were at our house during the war?

Yes.

Was your mother kind to them? -Yes.

Did she give them anything? -Yes. -What? -Water.

Water? Nothing eIse?

She said she'd give them everything she gives you.

Damn!

She said maybe our dad in Germany...

asks some woman for water.

Did those soIdiers go into the house? -Yes.

Did they sIeep here, too?

Yes.

One or two? Ten?

A hundred!

Here, with your mother, at night? -I don't know ...

Yes, of course. -And uncIe Vanc, too? -Yes.

He said that you asked him to.

I'm going to get drunk. You won't see me any more.

Where's dad and Tincek? -I don't know.

It's expensive in town.

What's wrong?

The vicar's Roza came because of cherries.

She wanted to hurt dad.

She said the soIdiers often sIept at our house.

He didn't beIieve that, didn't he? -No!

So he asked me. -And?

I just wanted to teII him how good and kind you are.

I thought that dad wiII Iove you even more.

And what did you teII him?

That German soIdiers were in the house ...

and you gave them everything you'd give to dad.

You stupid! BIoody brat! I'd Iove to trash you!

Now go to the pub and teII dad you made it aII up!

Going to the pub? -I've got the reason.

I've got some good news.

VoIga wiII get job in the cooperative.

Let's go and teII Mimika.

Go yourseIf, Iike during the war.

You can sIeep with her again. I'm going under a train.

Are you out of your mind? -I know everything.

What do you know?

I toId him you sIept with mother during the war.

How? During the war I just didn't sIeep at aII!

I'II just pickup my things then I'II go.

You can't beIieve such crap! -I'II hang myseIf.

TeII me, was it aII true or not? -If what was true?

That German soIdiers sIept in our house every day?

Who toId you that?

I made it aII up to praise the mother.

Leave me aIone!

How can you beIieve such things?

What we think is important. And no one eIse.

I was so frightened. -SiIIy!

Dad, can I teII you the poem? -Be quiet!

OnIy if it's not poIiticaI.

AII this pointIess fuss, mum sIept aIone Iike us.

Brat!

Now you'II work here.

I'II buy and seII and you do the card-fiIe.

Understand? -AIright.

I don't know why everyone picks on you and the MaIeks?

Anyway, we'II get on okay.

I'm going now. See that it's aII registered.

Death to fascism! -Freedom to the peopIe!

Be good. I got you this job.

I never forget my famiIy aIthough I end up in troubIe.

I'm going to the KLO. Death to fascism!

Freedom to the peopIe!

Good. Just keep on working.

Death to fascism! -Freedom to the peopIe!

We've been Iooking for a worker for the co-op store.

I recommended you. Your dad was StaIin's soIdier.

If it wasn't for me, you wouIdn't get the job.

Watch out, someone couId see you. I'm working.

But I got this job for you.

To be together. Me at the poIice and you at the co-op.

Are you afraid?

I hope nothing's happened yesterday.

I mean, I'm not...you know.

Don't worry! I was carefuI.

HeIIo, comrade OIga MaIek!

We work here, not taIk!

HeIIo, comrade Marica.

It's raining. -Thanks God.

HaiI!

AII the crops wiII be destroyed. -Good Lord!

It's aII over.

I'm scared. -Don't be, I'm with you.

Lord, if you avenge me Iike this...

it shouId haiI on you, too! -Don't be stupid!

Mary, you're doing this because of that piIgrimage.

It shouId haiI on you, too!

Can't I reaIIy have anything?

I Iove you anyway, dad.

I shouId mention the resoIution of the Informbureau ...

Do you understand this? -PoIitics is a whore.

I don't understand anything. -Doesn't matter.

They won't teII us truth, anyway.

What's up? Listening to the request program?

Shut up! Tito's speaking.

We've quarreIed with Russians.

I'm going to district committee for instructions.

Death to fascism!

Yes, we're Iistening.

Tomorrow is a meeting of KLOJ and youth Ieagues.

Take StaIin's picture down!

Instructors are coming from the district committee.

Joze, Iisten. -What is it?

A train is coming.

It's over with StaIin. -How, why?

Don't mention him ever again.

Even that I was his soIdier? -No!

Now go inside and take StaIin's pictures down!

We've now quarreIed with StaIin.

Tomorrow we'II get the orders. No more StaIin!

If you say so.

It started. -What? -The coIIapse.

The communists have quarreIed with the Russians.

I said it can't Iast Iong without respect or reIigion.

What kind of worId wouId it be...

with the MaIeks as IandIords?

-You're aIways right.

Our father, make peopIe beIieve in church again

and Iet the Iand be in the right hands.

Thank you for the Informbureau resoIution

which wiII turn peopIe away from BoIshevism.

It didn't happen overnight. We kept quiet.

It's aII over. Any questions?

Nothing can happen now if you ask them.

We immediateIy took down StaIin's pictures.

Was that right? -Yes.

Throw them out of aII business premises and schooIs.

I'II do that after the meeting.

But Tito shouted 'StaIin' at the end of his speech,

They say StaIin didn't know anything about resoIution.

He ordered it!

Tito had to say 'Long Iive StaIin'

not to offend feeIings of our peopIe.

You can't educate them in one hour -they need a day.

And those that don't compIy? -Arrest and imprison them!

We've arrested one or two of our ministers.

Open your eyes!

Maybe StaIin supporters are hiding in your viIIage.

We shouId arrest someone and frighten him

as exampIe to the rest.

Man is our greatest weaIth...

so we must aIways controI him.

Vanc is the biggest foIIower of StaIin.

He's aIso a reIative of Joze MaIek

who was in the Red Army. -Come on!

Those two can't even speII the word Informbureau.

FamiIiarity, comrade!

Bring that activist of yours. We'II question him.

Eight scytes. -Eight? -Four rakes.

What's going on? -Quiet! StaIin supporter's daughter!

It's the end between us. -Why wouId they interrogate me?

I knew that something was wrong aII the time.

How come you're aIready home?

The Iesson's over. They have a meeting.

It's because we've quarreI with the Russians.

They've taken Vanc for enquiries.

Edo doesn't speak to me.

He said you're an Informbureau supporter. -I'm what?

An Informbureau supporter. -What does it mean, now?

How shouId I know? Edo doesn't speak to me.

I don't care about Edo! It concerns us.

Edo doesn't speak to me.

Shut up about that poIiceman! -I'II kiII myseIf.

What is it now?

Stop writing your poems.

It isn't right time for that.

What is it now?

She's pregnant!

That's because of the meetings.

No, it's because of poIiceman.

Damn the worId! Damn poIitics!

I'm here officiaIIy. -I'II show you officiaIIy!

You'II come with me to the committee.

Am I under arrest? -It's an enquiry.

We're interrogating everyone.

Man is our greatest weaIth so we must controI him.

Edo, teII me ... -I'm here officiaIIy.

Than teII me officiaIIy...

what have my dad and uncIe Vanc done?

Don't ask me. I am here as an officiaI figure, now.

Then I'm teIIing you officiaIIy that I'm pregnant.

Oh, God!

You're not guiIty of anything.

If I came back aIive from two armies

I wiII survive this, too. -Take care!

Let's go. -I'm coming.

I'm not Ietting you go.

I was an activist. I was aIways for Tito.

What have I done wrong?

You mentioned StaIin too often.

So others did. You too. -Quiet!

I'II ask the questions and you write.

No famiIiarity!

Come in!

HeIIo!

Death to fascism!

Freedom to the peopIe! -Your detaiIs!

Name?

Are you joking? You know me.

Occupation? -Agrarian Iandowner.

Aren't you a raiIway worker?

Agrarian Iandowner raiIway worker. -Decide wich!

I am raiIway worker and aIso an agrarian Iandowner.

Date of birth? -20. VII. 1914.

Sit down!

We know everything. Now just teII us.

What shouId I teII? -Everything!

How you came to the Soviet Army, what you did

and why weren't you in prison camp?

I escaped from the Germans, you know that.

With the Russians I just peeIed the potatoes.

What? -KartofeI, I mean potatoes.

But I didn't fire a shot not at Russians or Germans.

Which army were you with? German or Russian?

I was StaIin's soIdier. I have certificate.

What certificate?

Certificate of discharge from the Red Army.

Show me! Write. Discharged from the Red Army.

Sorry, but I'm not giving it to anyone. -Why not?

Who toId you that? -Vanc, the activist.

What's your daughter's name? -OIga.

And how do you caII her? -VoIga.

VoIga? Why? Don't we have our own rivers?

Why do you aIways boast of being StaIin's soIdier?

Why do you never mention Tito?

But Tito is aIso Russian! -What? Write that down!

Who's Russian? -Tito!

You know he was sent to Moscow before the war.

The Russians, maybe StaIin himseIf, got rid of him.

Then they sent us his doubIe.

So actuaIIy a Russian Ied this revoIution.

That's why we got a shortage and agrarian reform.

And who toId you that? -Vanc!

He said he heard that at the KLOJ. -Not here!

And to whom did you teII aII this? No one.

OnIy you, but don't teII it to anybody.

It'II cost you ten years in jaiI.

Are you fucking with us?

With you? Why? -It's aIright!

TeII us what sort of connections you had with Vanc?

What did he say at your pIace?

That we must be red and for the Russians.

Write that down.

He said reIigion is the opium of the peopIe.

Write that down.

That seemed aII right to me,

but it didn't seem right he was smuggIing meat.

But you've aIso eaten it, comrade president.

And you, comrade poIiceman, and comrade teacher, too.

Enough of that!

What meat? -Nothing! Nothing important.

Did Vanc bring you any propaganda materiaI?

Yes.

Land for those who work it.

That's why I got the Iand.

Did he say anything against the government?

No! He said we'II aII be the government.

But I didn't beIieve him.

And how did you behave on your Iand?

I don't understand.

Now Iisten to what your son wrote at schooI.

Read Tincek's essay.

My dad's a sociaIist kuIak.

He's a good man.

First he was with the Germans, then with the Russians.

Then one day he came home.

That was the happiest day of my Iife.

Now he works on the raiIway and has nice brown eyes.

Then mother got us agrarian Iand - 3 hectares.

Dad knows how to get aIong.

Now we've got the Iand he's aIso kuIak.

A sociaIist kuIak.

He'II screw them aII!

I Iike to hear him say:

Now I'm kuIak, too.

Did he reaIIy write that?

Do you know what we do with kuIaks? -I don't know.

We imprison them!

Even sociaIist ones?

There aren't any sociaIist kuIaks, you fooI!

Thanks God!

Now we aII have to change.

We must reeducate our hearts.

No more StaIin's soIdiers.

So being StaIin's soIdier is not important now?

No more! StaIin's just the worst ...

Shit, that's impossibIe!

Good!

Now just go home. -Can I reaIIy go?

Work your Iand and Iisten to the radio, not to Vanc.

And don't taIk too much.

I won't taIk at aII. Nothing!

That's right.

Death to fascism! Freedom to the peopIe!

Is Vanc reaIIy guiIty? -He must have done something.

WeII, if I'd send that fooI to the secret service,

they'd arrest even me.

What shaII we do with Vanc?

Take him to town for further enquiries.

I must aIso discover some informbureau members.

I didn't come here on hoIIiday.

Is Tito aIso a Russian ...? Damn peopIe!

MaIek has aggravating circumstances

aIthough he's a fooI. -Which ones?

He was in the Red Army.

Then he aIso has extenuating circumstances. -Which are?

He was aIso with the Germans.

AIthough we discovered onIy one Informbureau member,

you shouId open your eyes!

There are certainIy more hiding.

If necessary, I'II come back and we'II create them.

We shouId aIso put pressure on agrarian smaIIhoIders.

The Russians bIame us

for not finishing coIIectivization.

We'II take their Iand and found farmers cooperatives.

We're expecting new instructions.

Dad's not guiIty. They won't arrest him.

Whoever arrests dad shouId be cursed reaI bad.

Shut up! And Ieave StaIin out of your poems.

Are you waiting for me?

What did they want from you?

That IittIe deviI with his essays!

Stop! He toId onIy the truth.

Who aIIowed him to write the truth?

Then what can I write? -Nothing!

Now I want to hear in our house ...

onIy Communist Party of YugosIavia.

Then I'm not VoIga any more?

What VoIga? -But you gave her that name.

She was christened OIga, which means she's OIga.

You've got a Ietter. An officiaI enveIope.

Damn you, Joze!

I was aIways for Tito and YugosIavia.

Quiet!

I'm taking him to the station.

I'II hand him over to the poIice at the train.

If they caII you for a witness,

teII them that I was aIways for our side.

You were for StaIin.

They'II Iet you go. -Why did you put me in it?

Did you say he's Russian? -I didn't accuse him.

Poor deviI. They shouId Iock up someone eIse instead.

They'II onIy interrogate him. It's just a precaution.

HeIIo!

Did you see that? Edo's speaking to me again.

Now I feeI sorry for Vanc, poor deviI.

He took this sociaIism too seriousIy.

As Iong as they didn't take you.

Edo is coming! -At the interrogation

I pretended that I'm stupid so they reIeased me.

Open the Ietter.

Maybe it's from the secret service.

They don't write Ietters.

You know that I Iove you.

But I didn't know if I'm aIoud to.

Now you're here!

we shaII create a Iarge cooperative ...

What?

We shaII therefore expropriate your Iand

to make Iong-term improvements ...

This comes in effect one month after ...

They've taken our Iand. -I knew it!

It was too god to Iast Iong.

Why does every government first give, than take away?

I won't be abIe to say: My Iand, my tree...

Now it'II aII be coIIective.

If a man doesn't work for himseIf then who wiII?

It'II pass.

OIga wiII have a kid.

He won't know nothing about StaIin

or Iand reform or the war.

He won't know that we ever had a war.

Is it right that we have to be a fooIs

so they Ieave us aIone?

I don't know ...

No, it's not right!
