Ukraine in 1917 For the first time during three centuries,

after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Ukrainians

got the chance to restore their independence.

The world community was ready to recognize the Ukrainian People's Republic.

But a cruel and insidious enemy was standing in the path to independence.

Under the order of Lenin, Ukraine was occupied town

after town by Russian troops headed by Muravyov.

Ukraine was preparing to defend the capital - Kyiv.

Savytskyi!

You have one minute left.

Oh, Savytskyi

With your power, your will, your word, the Ukrainian People's

Republic became free on its land. However, these are

hard times when the freedom of Ukraine has been revived.

Factories do not produce goods. Plants are stopping. There

will be famine. The gangs of thieves and outlaws proliferate

in the region. Meanwhile, in order to win over the

free Ukrainian Republic under its rule, the Petrograd

Government of People's Commissars declared war on Ukraine.

Please, excuse me.

Sorry.

Hello, guys!

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

Where have you been?

And where is everybody?

What is it?

Quiet! Let's listen.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

We call for all citizens of the independent Ukrainian People's

Republic to stand and guard the acquired will and rights of our people

and to defend our destiny from all the enemies of the farmers' and

workers' independe nt Ukrainian Republic with all available forces.

When I look at all of you here, I recognize and remember not only

the name and the face of those people with whom I was lucky

to start work and struggle for the freedom of Ukraine.

With the difficult situation in which the Ukrainian army is at this moment,

perhaps, someone may think that this is time to tell us something

like that: "My dear friend, do not waste time and effort,

come down to earth!" There is no bigger mistake if someone of us thinks so.

Did we managed to do something for Ukraine in our struggle?

Four weeks before the main events

The headquarters of General Foch, Paris, France

Dear Paul, Lenin is showing its strength now

he seizes and establishes power where Bolsheviks are supported by people.

But he is also afraid to disclose how he has gained power

in Russia with the help of Germany.

If this envelope falls into the hands of Trotsky, there will

be a split and separation of powers in the Bolshevik Party.

The internal struggle will divert the Bolsheviks' attention from Ukraine.

Give the envelope to General Savytskyi.

Paul, be careful.

We have information that some major German agent is operating in Ukraine

In Odessa port, you will meet Oleksa Savytskyi,

a young brunette of the age of thirty, in a suit.

He has a thin black mustache.

He will ask you to give him a light.

Send this to Berg urgently!

Take a blue envelope from a French man.

Our struggle in the history of the Ukrainian people will be written in golden letters.

Enough! Let them go to negotiations with the Soviets! We will not go to war!

Right! There is already too much blood!

Lenin promises the land and plants to everyone!

It is better for us to stay at home!

Then go to your Lenin!

Let's do our military job with the forces we have.

I know that tiredness and misery undermine the army, its spirit and will.

Trotsky's Agents... I'll kill them!

Dear fellow... You can't do this.

You cannot behave with the people in this way,

you should act in a more democratic, loyal way.

If we give ourselves an oath here that we will continue to fight

stubbornly for the freedom of the Ukrainian people, then we will win.

Who goes with us to the front – come to the platform!!

I'm sorry, let me through.

Sign us up!

Students: Andrii Savytskyi, Volodymyr Zasukha, Valerii Hoida.

Guys, do not rush, one by one.

Name, surname, then the faculty and where you are from.

Do you understand? I do not hear!

Yes!

Valerii Hoida

Faculty of Law

Poltava

Sign here

Volodymyr Zasukha, Faculty of Medicine. I'm good with a sabre.

Valerik told me that Petliura had personally invited him to secret service.

From Chernihiv

Next!

Name?

Gregory Pipskyi

Andrii!

I sing in the choir, in the St. Cyril's Church.

And what about you?

What, what ... I'm a pacifist.

But not now

Always

I'm a cartographer, you are a lawyer, you are a doctor! We are peaceful people.

Face the inevitable with dignity

I will not argue with Seneca.

But all my life I have been arguing with the service men – father and brother.

So thank you, guys. No.

Next!

Andrii!

Sofia!

Hello.

Hi! Are you here too?

Well, where should I be if not on Sofiivska Square?

With such events, in such times.

You better tell me why you did not come to visit my mother and me on Saturday?

I really wanted to come, but I had to prepare for a test. I passed it only today.

Sofia!

Hi, Oleksa!

How is your hand?

Thank you, much better. Hello brother.

Hi

And you are becoming more and more beautiful every day.

By the way, thank you for the ball, it helps

me very much to restore the hand functions.

Please

So, lad, did you enlist as a volunteer?

The war is not for me. I've told you.

You are as hard as a rock! You refuse point-blank!

Guys, let's go to Bilenkyi

But he can't, the father is waiting for him at home.

Hi, Mr. Bilenkyi

Good afternoon.

What's good about it?

And where is Marian or Stepan?

I have fired them.

There is no work. Such times have come.

No customers, the market does not work. There is neither cocoa nor cinnamon.

You even can't buy flour!

My mother was right when told me I should go abroad to Solomon.

But I did not listen to her, stayed here. Oh, mama!

Have you chosen anything?

What do you think? Which is tastier?

Well, there is nothing to think about.

This one is with cocoa, and that one is with lemon.

They are different. Take both.

I wish it was so easy to choose in life. I’ll take one with lemon.

Only one?

One.

And two coffees, please.

Okay. At least one coffee. And what to coffee?

Your father was the most eloquent today.

It seemed that it was Hrushevsky not him who spoke.

But all the attention was focused on his new mustache.

Although I thought men are not wearing it for a long time.

Sofia, my sweet little Sofia.

I have wanted to talk to you long before.

Here is your coffee

Thank you.

Sugar.

Coffee a la Vienne. How I like.

I'll tell you frankly. I feel that...

With lemon. Please. And...

I feel. No, I know - changes are waiting for us.

Here it is.

So I'm sure that we should always be close to each other whatever happens.

This is a complete tuches. I'm closing

Barracks of student's hut

Stand up!

Hurry up!

Sir Commander, the soldiers of the students unit are lined up.

Hapless warriors.

Here we have no moms, nannies and aunts!

It’s the army!

Does everyone understand this?

A week...

You have only a week to learn how to shoot and use this skillfully!

From that moment, all your life depends only on you, your skills, and discipline.

And who already knows?

Who said this?

Step forward!

Come on

Show me, Cossack

Well done!

True Dzhigit.

What's so funny, mister student?

Nothing.

Step forward

And what is mister's name?

Valerii Hoida

Otamanskyi, send this Dzhigit and the student

to the kitchen, assign three duties.

Sir Commander, why me?

Wouldn't you cover your friend's back in the battle, mmm?

Follow the order

To the kitchen, forward march!

Finally...

Finally, we return to our glorious Cossack traditions!

I want to ask you guys.

Do you know what Cossacks loved to eat?

A Cossack was brought up eating rough food,

so that unnecessary things did not interfere him with numerous campaigns.

But here are the Cossack drinks: uzvar, sbiten, and, of course, spotykach.

Father, but the traditions need to be restored not only at the table.

Not only

For example Naboka

When he is hungry or has eaten something wrong, becomes worse than the Devil.

Sir General, I'm angry only when I have no lunch, in other times I am a peaceful man.

Especially now

Gun power is nothing, boys, without wisdom. Gun power...

Our main task is to hold Kyiv.

And what now? War again?

If you want peace, prepare for war, son

So what?

Will you continue to study the first rock images of the Bronze Age

or will you go to the army?

If we do not know our history

then there will come a day when there will be nobody to fight.

My Goodness! We have brought up a defender of peace, just like his deceased mother!

God rest her soul...

I've never thought that I will have to say this

but it seems there is a traitor among us.

How else can we explain the failure in Odessa?

And who is he?

We believe that he is Berg... A double agent.

He is working for the German intelligence,

and now – you see – he is helping the Red Army to take Kharkiv.

That same night, they tortured almost 170 people to death.

He is also an organizer of riots in Krivyi Rih.

We have been looking for him for several months now.

So think now what to do – to wear epaulets or to sit at home.

Wow, Savytskyi

Is there any place where you can go without me or I without you?

Do you have any extra tool?

There'll be one for you.

When did you decide to fight?

Yesterday at night

I saw something

Cadets are already in positions. And we're here.

We had to be there, where we are needed

What does it look like?

Like a cat.

Your red one.

You mean you do not like my cat?

What?

Guys!

Attention!

At ease

Good fight. Well done. Follow me!

Black Sea Coast

I forgot the lighter, may I have a light?

Let's go to the car, it's windy here.

Mr. Berg, this envelope contains only a small part of what you are interested in!

Our Benjamin fig started to dry up completely. I do not understand anything.

Previously, it had such magnificent leaves. What is wrong with it now?

Maybe I should change the soil? What do you think, my dear?

Mom, this fig tree is fading every year, and every year you say the same thing

Do not worry. Nothing will happen with your Benjamin. Better see what the news is!

Recently I saw that Oleksa was seeing you home.

He has become a very handsome lad.

In a year, he will be a captain, and from that point it is not far to a general.

Why are you giving the cold shoulder to him?

Mom!

Better look after your fig tree, I will decide myself how and with whom to be.

This is a standard Mosin rifle set

Who are you?

Andrii Savytskyi

Son of General Savytskyi?

Yes Sir!

I know your family.

Commander! When will we fight?

You will have enough time to fight.

Grynia! Grynia!

Load

Aim

Fire!

Who are they? Relatives?

My father and younger sister.

Aim

You have five minutes and then come back to training.

Fire!

Thank you very much!

Stop right there! How should you respond?

Oh, I'm sorry... Yes sir!

Load

At ease

Pipskyi!

Fire!

What an alto singer!

Gregory

Son...

Forgive us for distracting you.

I know that the rules are strict here, in the army.

Do not worry, dad

Hello, little princess

Happy birthday to you, dear brother.

I've got candies for you.

Thank you.

In addition, sorry, this is also for your birthday

Take this, Gregory, you can catch cold.

You need to take care of your throat. It is important for the voice.

Thank you, this is a very good thing.

But dad, it is too expensive, you and Marichka have to get by something this month.

Do you remember, when you were a child, you have a sweater?

I unraveled it and knit this. It has a second life now!

Pipskyi!

You have to go.

Take care of yourself, now run, we'll be waiting for you.

May God protect you!

Monsieur Savytskyi, General Foch.

Unfortunately, there was a leak of information on our side,

but we have already found a source.

Please, accept my personal apologies.

Your man was killed in a shooting. The envelope fell into the Lenin's hands.

Most likely, these are the people of Berg.

Monsieur Foch, the operation cannot be canceled.

According to my information,

rumors of secret documents have already reached Trotsky, the plan may still work.

This is not necessary. Yes, general. I will take it under my personal control.

Lenin is thanking you.

The documents you intercepted in the Ukrainian counterintelligence

could become a serious obstacle to the victory of the revolution.

For comrade Lenin, it is important to get all the materials immediately,

up to the smallest unimportant note.

I can add only

that during those 15 minutes of our conversation

he drew my attention to this aspect three times.

Therefore, it is very important

to get documents

before our triumphant retaking of Kyiv.

Would you dine with me?

No.

Recently, Comrade Pyatakov, the commissioner of the People's Commissariat

and, by the way, the future People's Secretary of Kyiv, has arrived in Kyiv.

He will bring an advance.

And, by the way, he will continue to negotiate on this issue.

All right. I will arrange a meeting.

Tell us how’s everything at the Kyiv Arsenal Factory?

Mishchenko with his unit

defected to the side of the workers

and already controls the organization of the uprising.

The leaders of party cells promise to bring up to 5,000 young workers.

There are more than 1,500 Petrograd comrades-in-arms in Kyiv.

With such forces, we will be able to stay the course for 4-5 days.

I think that by that time you will manage to enter Kyiv?

My troops are already in Bakhmach

In four days we will take Kruty railway station.

And then attack as quick as a flash.

I provide you with artillery.

With three armored trains.

And four thousand combat soldiers will be with me.

In this case, we will make a series of bomb explosions in Kyiv public buildings:

the central market,

the city hospital, the university.

All this will be presented in such a way that it was ordered by Petliura.

Right

You should not be afraid of blood.

You should not sympathize Kyiv residents.

They deserved this revenge.

By the way, do you know that this march is Polish?

So

Elevate a shotgun rib.

Turn a handwheel with your right hand and aim a gun at a target.

If you aim it right,

, the top of a front sight will be in the center of a sight opening.

Draw the bolt three times before shooting.

Understand?

Yes

Well, Who wants to try?

May I?

Please.

Well done!

Not bad for a non-military person!

Where did you learn to do that?

In Great Britain, at the factory,

I accompanied my father while he was purchasing a machine-gun consignment.

However, this one is modified, but it will come in handy.

Greetings to you, comrade

And where is Berg?

Well

I discussed your proposal with the comrade from Petrograd.

You will get money when I am sure that all the documents you have are true.

What are my guarantees?

My word.

Good

I will inform you.

Mikhail Artemovich

Comrade Bayonet

What do I owe?

Pyatakov was killed!

Trotsky asked to take the situation under his personal control.

He needs documents as soon as possible.

I'll tell Berg.

And what about Lenin?

It's not your business now.

I do not trust Berg.

Did he name the seller?

He calls him "our new friend"

Okay. I'll find him by myself.

By the way, how is the offensive operation going on?

Everything goes as planned.

We are preparing for a breakthrough in Kruty.

I will take Kyiv soon.

I will be in Chernihiv.

I am waiting for your message

Your detachment will go to the Pechersk barricade.

And the main thing! We are a peaceful demonstration, hide your weapon well.

Is it clear to everyone? So what are you waiting for? Do it!

What's going on?

You cannot go through the street, you cannot ride through!

Some kind of a mess!

Where is the police, where is the civic consciousness?

Thank you, Andrii.

In the past, you could walk at night in Kyiv.

In the past, you were robbed by those hooligans with some kind of respect.

Mom, what happened?

What? Nothing good. Only rallies, mess and drunken men.

Andrii, at least you, can you explain what happened?

I met your mother in Volodymyrska Street,

and there were some men arguing after the rally.

She exaggerates as always.

Vertinsky on tour in Kiev now. I have long wanted to listen to him.

You know, I will be happy to go, but I’m not sure they will let me go.

The general likes the chanson no longer.

I went to a student military unit. And we have strict rules there.

What did happen with light again?

The Bolsheviks are approaching from Kharkiv and Poltava.

Muravyov leads the major troops in a Bakhmach-Kyiv direction.

We need to stop them there.

Attention!

Andrii!

Oleksa!

Hello, brother!

Are they sending you too?

Not yet, but everything is possible.

Brother, I came to you!

Listen, I have no idea how it will be there.

But you should refuse, do not go.

What do you mean "do not go"?

That will be better.

I will talk to your commander now

I will tell him that you are urgently called to the headquarters, to your father.

Oleksa, what are you talking about?

Andrii, believe me. I know what I'm talking about.

Oleksa, you have taught me all my life

that being a soldier is the duty of every defender, every man.

And now such times that every citizen must protect his freedom with arms in his hands.

The situation is completely different now, I can't tell you all.

Well... This is your will.

Let it be so!

Let's go.

Andrii! Andrii!

Sofia... Oleksa has already gone.

Andrii... Did you get yourself dirty?

Do you remember how we played on the bank of the Dnipro when we were children?

Yes. We were boating.

I lost the oars then. And you pushed the boat down to the shore.

And why are you remembering that? That was in childhood.

And Oleksa told me that you cannot swim.

Hey, young eagles!

Why are you waging your tongues?

Move up, help your comrades! Follow the order!

Quickly!

Greetings for girls!

Guys, is it a vacant sit?

Move forward.

Who is this guy?

This is Pipskyi. An alto singer!

Is it vacant here?

Sit down.

Thank you.

This is it.

Are you ready?

I'm always ready.

Guys, look.

The father knitted a scarf for our alto singer!

Give it back!

Oh, what a unique voice! Try to take it back or sing!

Damn, guys!

This is mine! Enough!

Will you give it a rest?

Give it to me!

Stop it!

Do not make me see that again!

We will plant bombs in ten places at once.

By my signal, bombs must explode simultaneously.

The start…

"I've got documents, tell me the place and the time."

"At the cemetery near the abandoned fortress at 9.00 P.M."

Bombs must explode at eight o'clock in the evening.

The signal will be a factory sound.

Understand?

Yes, adversa fortuna — the ill fate

we are sitting here, staring at the window

And the train goes and we do not know where it takes us

We have a general seminar tomorrow.

Why are you saying it so sad? You have not prepared for it.

Zasukha, Andrii, have you heard a new song by Vertinsky?

Which one?

Banana-lemon

No

"It is all that left"

From whom?

From us

Come on.

Everything ended so naturally,

The end was so cynically cruel

You told me that nowadays people

Do not take hearts with them in the bedroom...

Are you doing well, guys?

Guys, where are we?

The commander said in Bahmach.

Sit down

Volodia, matches.

Thank you

So, guys, do you want to fight?

Commander, what about some tea?

Yes

Pour, please Come on

It's a pity that we have no time to prepare you as it should be.

Warriors!

Yes, Commander

I ask you to listen carefully to the orders of the commander.

I don't want any independent action going on here

Y ou all have to come back home alive

You have a lot of things to do in your life.

We have arrived.

You have 30 minutes for unloading.

So why are you standing? Hurry up! Move on!

Commander, if we are to fight right now, then we need the cartridges.

Do not worry, Valera.

First we'll entrench ourselves.

Move on!

Mikhail Artemovich, there are reports from the frontline:

at Kryty station, a military train is being unloaded, reinforcements have arrived.

Give it to me

Lady

My dear, connect me with Kruty, please!

Dig in somewhere here and there

Commander Honcharenko at your service.

What a commander?

You are speaking to the commander Mikhail Muravyov, have you heard about that one?

I have heard about this man,

So, what do you want, the son of an enemy?

Listen to my order!

I’m listening carefuly.

Get ready to meet the victorious Red Army!

Cook a dinner!

I will forgive the cadets for their delusions

but still I will execute the officers!

Please, come, we will feed you

We are waiting for you.

Then wait.

And who was it?

Some moron!

Let's go fighting!

Valera! Hurry up!

My dear, connect me with Kyiv, please!

Trotsky's people are looking for documents and your new friend.

I shall consider this information.

We will take the station within an hour and march to Kyiv. Wait for me by the evening.

Yes! You should hurry up too!

Khodia!

As soon as we got the documents, kill "our new friend"

That's what it is, General.

what I think, Ivan.

These two always act separately.

I think they are powerful rings of one chain.

With the rebellions, they distract attention

from the offensive of the Muravyov's army.

And the same thing all over Ukraine.

It's a kind of a vicious cycle!

And what shall we do with our small army?

To stop the uprising at the Arsenal or Muravyov?

We act further ourselves.

Mr. Chief Ataman!

Yes. What's happened?

Agents of Trotsky have raised an uprising. They have captured Arsenal,

a weapon depot in Pechersk, a bridge across the Dnipro River.

In five minutes, gather everybody to the meeting.

Man on duty?

To Kruty urgently.

I feel like a cheetah before hunting for moles.

Maxim, cheetahs do not hunt for moles.

They hunt mainly for antelopes and wild mustangs.

So it's the case that the Reds are blind like moles,

so hunting will be quick and merciless.

You amaze me!

Good afternoon.

Glory to the heroes.

What is a situation on the field? I see you are being transferred to another position.

An urgent order from the headquarters. We are returning to Kyiv.

Hurry up!

We are sending Haidamakas with your military train. From now you will be alone.

Oh, Haidamakas. With such neighbors, fighting is not so scary.

Maksim, is it terrifying to kill?

Why should it be terrifying?

Just squeeze the trigger and the bullet will find the enemy itself.

Haidamakas will help, they will not let us down.

Move on! Attack!

Keep moving forward, my friends!

Sir Commander, what shall we do? Shall we dig?

No, Valera. Now we should fire.

Fire only by my order.

Do not panic.

This is just a gang of looters.

Fire!

All together!

All together!

Mister, mister, someone is calling you there!

Someone wants to meet with you.

"I propose a meeting without intermediaries. I agree to your terms.

I'll be waiting for you on January 17 in the morning at Kruty station. Bayonet."

Guys, we must hold out until the evening.

In the evening, a military train will come for us.

And if not?

And if not...

And if not - write a letter to your mom in Zhytomyr.

Ask her to send you a warm bed. We will stay in Kruty tonight.

Attack!

Keep moving forward, my friends!

I'm with you, my eagles!

Varyk, come on

Andrii, serve a ball.

Andrii, come on, throw it!

Come on!

Throw it! How long I need to wait?

Andii, throw it!

Throw it!

Throw it at last! Do you hear me?

Attack the left flank more often, there are rookies in the trenches!

They have only one machine gun! Liquidate them all!

Hail Mary, full of grace. Our Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Loshchenko! As always unexpectedly and on time!

I retook a cart with ammunition from the Reds not far from here.

I decided to return it to them.

I’ve never taken someone else’s belongings since childhood!

Why did you stop the fire?

Mukha! Where is the cart with ammunition?

I'll execute you!

There are 40 boxes and 20 bins for machine guns. Take it!

That's fine. Will you stay with us to the end?

No. Just for a while. I'll go back soon. Every gun is needed.

But in the evening there will be a train to evacuate you.

How are your students here?

Not bad, they did not soil their pants.

Forward!

Back! Everybody back to your positions!

Back down!

All right, I will return to my men. Do not say goodbye!

Aim!

Fire!

Back down! Everybody back down! Back down!

Fire!

Take the wounded to the station.

Savytskyi!

Listen, after the sunset, there'll be a military train.

But the Reds can attack the flank.

Take your arms, charges and go to the station which is in two kilometers.

One long, two short whistles of the train will be a signal to leave. Cover us.

Zasukha, Hoida!

When it will be dark completely, take your comrades

and move back to the station through the forest.

Is it clear? Follow the order.

There is a swamp, there is a forest. Then they may attack us from three sides.

I have an idea of how not to drag 80 kilograms every time.

A good idea!

Volodia, I never been a coward, but I'm scared.

And what if they shoot us with a direct hit?

If we had more cartridges...

We are sitting here like fools. What are we waiting for?

I think they won't shoot us with a direct hit.

There are larger targets than our trench.

Give me a cartridge-belt!

These two are the last ones.

Then retreat, I'll cover you.

I said: retreat! Go!

Make one long and two short.

Guys, we are coming back. Follow me.

Can we go?

No!

What's up there?

Wait!

We have less than half a tank of water left.

We won't get to the next water heater!

I order to wait!

Go!

Mister Otamanskyi. Have you seen Zasukha or Hoida?

Look for them.

Guys, do you have any matches?

Guys, there's nobody, keep moving forward.

Oh, my Little Russians have arrived.

Just in time!

Such lonely souls...

Who is there, guys?

My right hand is itching all day.

And I was thinking - for what reason?

And now I know: for a joyous happy meeting.

Why are you so tense?

You are my guests now.

This is not your land! And you are not a lord here!

lord-goat

No more lords!

Put them up against the wall...

So what?

What, what... I warned, the water is over.

And what to do?

If you give me ten people we will cope in four hours.

Take as much as you need.

Savytskyi?

Commander! I have seen neither Zasukha nor Hoida.

Nor our men.

They are there. We left them there, Commander.

They are nowhere here! Nowhere!

Listen to me, Andriy, listen!

It happens. We completed the task, do you hear?

Son, this is a war, and during the war there are losses.

So what about them, Sir? I cannot do this way, Sir Commander.

If someone is alive at the station, I have to return there.

Savytskyi, come back immediately! This is an order!

How could you?

How did you dare?

You dared to take against us, against the working people!

The people...

are making history!

The people are Demierges!

The people are always in the center of events.

And I am over the people.

I'm called to tame the new Vendée.

I have a mission, you can’t stop it, I have a mission.

Unfortunately you were not able to love us.

Call Muravyov and wait for the connection.

Volodia, forgive me please.

I do not have enough time, so here is my proposal without preludes.

I am waiting for the information.

That's right. Information is a priceless asset.

Who owns the information, he owns the world.

What is your proposal for me?

Your life in exchange for information.

You need it yourself.

Your dog just wanted to injure me.

Let's do this way – you will answer my question,

and I will answer three of your questions.

This show with documents – is it in my honor?

No, Mr. Berg

But you managed to cope greatly with the role assigned to you in this show.

After Pyatakov's death, whom, in fact, you killed personally,

Trotsky sent his faithful dog here immediately.

Your lust for money did you an ill turn.

General, you are definitely a soldier.

. No fear, no love, no regret

But I can not understand for what sake?

For the sake of a country that never existed and never will be?

You sent your son to his doom.

Who wants to save his life?

I'll save it to you.

You have the General's word.

You are bullshit not a general.

What a brave pug!

Aim!

Fire!

Oleksandr Petrovych

Are you nervous?

I do not like dead men.

But you're a combat officer

You passed through two wars.

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych

I have little time.

Me too!

"Because of the October rebellion, Lenin gets unlimited power in Russia.

The Bolshevik Party proclaims a decree on peace.

Germany shall receive winner status in the First World War.

In exchange for power, Lenin shall pay the indemnity to Germany.

Indemnity: Territory of Belarus, Ukraine, Oil fields of Baku, Black Sea Fleet."

Terms are acceptable.

We guarantee security.

The empire does not want to say goodbye to its colonies.

You have accidentally witnessed the important political plan of the father.

Do you see these papers?

They should have fallen into the hands of the Bolsheviks.

The plan almost succeeded. They believed me.

Give these papers to the father and leave the suitcase. Maybe the plan will work.

Now, brother, you know the price of freedom.

It does not happen without blood.

You are freezing.

Marichka, I think we should go inside the station.

You will warm up, and as the train arrives, we will see it. Let's go?

I'll be waiting.

Have you seen Gregory?

Have you seen Volodia?

Excuse me.

Have you seen Gregory?

What?

Andrii!

And only in 1991 Ukraine's independence was recognized by the world.

But even today, we are struggling for our freedom, our life, our dream.

Let's make a step forward.

These events occurred almost a hundred years ago.

Of course, many myths and legends grew around them.

But the only thing that remains for us is the memory.

We must remember those boys who put their lives for us.

On January 5, 1918, a student unit of Sich Riflemen was created.

It consisted of two hundred volunteers, mostly students of Kyiv universities.

They and four hundred cadets of the 1st Kyiv Military

School defended Kyiv on January 29 in the battle of Kruty.

Against three thousand Bolsheviks.

Defenders suffered significant losses,

but still repulsed the first attacks of the enemy.

When the scattered units of defenders were assembled,

it turned out that there was no single detachment.

Approximately 30 fighters got lost and were captured.

In the same year, Muravyov was killed in a shootout, which he initiated himself.
