[TV:] Among the tragic events which,
alas, have become commonplace for us,

…still happen events really joyful.

Another former prisoner of war
returned from Afghanistan to his homeland.

At the briefing, reporters were informed that the return would have
been impossible without the participation of the Pakistani side.

Pakistani intelligence is constantly
got in touch with the Russian.

Had to wait for release for a long time.

Private Nikolai Ivanov spent in
captivity of Mujahideen 7 years.

Only the "International Red Cross" managed to
find him in one of the villages of Afghanistan.

Captivity made Nicholas closed
and watchful.

- Kolushka! [TV:] Because he is not yet
managed to realize the gigantic change…

…in his usual life there.

According to the latest reports about 70 more
soldiers are held captive by the mojaheds.

And we would like to hope that all of them are not forgotten
by their country and will be returned to their homeland..

Kolka Ivanov arrived!

Kolka from Afghanistan is back!

Kolka Ivanov arrived!

Kolya! Son, is this you?

And I, as I heard, screamed, immediately
ran out of the gate, and here you are.

- And we are waiting for you, waiting, waiting, waiting.
- Kolya! Kolya, is this is really you?

Fedya! Son’ka! Your Kolya is arrived!

Sonya! Where are you?
Come here and meet your son! Sonya! Sonya!

And we are waiting for you arrive tomorrow.
The telegram said about tomorrow
.

- Where is his mother? Call mother!
- She is in the kaleyard!

Well, nice to see you, bro.

Oh just look - hugging, kissing him.

Did they tell you about our father?

Father hanged himself.

In December it will be 3
years as he committed suicide.

Kolya!

Kolyushka! Kolya!

Kolyushka! My beloved son!

Mom, come on, why are you crying?

Kolya! Son! Kolya!

Mama...

I'm going to the house
and father hangs on a hook.

I still ask Fedka to pull out the hook,
and he, hell, is too busy.

Drink and sleep, sleep and drink.

And it seemed your father was not so drunk.

I have no idea what was on him mind.

Oh and how he was waiting for you, Kolya,
how he was looking forward to see you again!

Sometimes i sat to cry a little bit,
and he: "How dare you? How dare you?

Our Kolka is alive. He will come back".

And, thanks to God, you came back finally!

Let’s go guys!
Now the pig will be slaughtered.

- Who will do it?
- Timosha.

Fedya, where is godfather?
Too drunk already, or what?

He tries on the skullcap.
Kolyan brought him a skullcap.

- And what’s for you, Fedya?
- Leather jacket. Ace!

And I began to faint.
I go, go and fall.

Well, I think I'll probably die soon.

You are back -
now it is not a pity to die.

Maybe I'll see my grandchildren.
Kol’ka!

Kolya, why you don’t say even
a single word to your mother?

You are so silent. А?

Vera! Verochka!

- Please.
- Are you talking with me? - Aha.

- Deliver with comfort.
- Nobody can forbid to live beautifully.

Let’s go!

Oh! How nice they singing!

Oh son, I am your godfather.

Well I held you on these hands
when you was baptized.

And you was baptized by priest Polikarp

And you peed on his cassock

And he pointed a finger at you: "This...
this, will be the basurman", he said.

And that's what you
became - a Russian soldier!

Let me kiss you!

Hey! What are you, scum?

Wait, dear, please wait!
Behave decently, it's not your prison.

- Kolyan - my bro!
- Right, and take your brother as a role model.

For my brother I am ready
to go to the prison fifth time…

Kolya, if something will happen - just tell
me. Maybe I won’t kill, but for sure maim.

Kolyunok, without you here a “perestroyka”
(restructuring) has happened, fuck it.

Hello, countrymen!

Quiet! The main bosses of life arrived.

- Pavel Petrovich…
- Well hello, our soldier.

Nikolai, couldn’t you dress our way?

- As an afghan, what’s the hell.
- Pavel Petrovich, we will fix it, we will find some nice clothes for him, be sure.

- I have a message!
- Talk, Pavel.

After a week we will be waiting
for you in the military department.

We have a medal for you.

We will give you a medal.
The award found a hero. Hooray!

And now I ask everyone to fill the glasses.

My bro, mom.

I want to say a speech.

What we need to revive our land?

Figuratively speaking,
the three components,

…three component parts.

First is the land.

And we have land…

- Alot.
- Only wastelands around.

- Second is…
- Pelf – money-money.

- What he is saying? Money, or what?
- Yes. Money but not all.

This is real money.

Fedya, Fedya, what’s
there? Three rubles or what?

You yourself are three rubles!
Dollar!

- Let me see.
- How much it will be in rubles?

A million.

We do not promise wealth
but guarantee a decent life
.

And third is of course, people.

People - the main wealth
of our great country.

And we have such people.

I recently returned from
Moscow, met there some people...

Ah son, why you don’t eat, don’t drink?
Eat something please.

In short, there are people, but not you.

Yes, how can we. We are old men.
And not me!

But people like as Nikolay.

- Kolyan is my brother! - Shut up, alcoholic!
- Let’s drink for our fighter!

Here, a former prisoner, take
an example from your brother.

You, scull-cap!

[Sing:] My native country is wide

[Sing in chorus:] There are
many forests, fields and rivers in it.

I do not know another such country

Where does a person breathe so freely

From Moscow to the outskirts

From the southern
mountains to the northern seas

Man passes like a master

His immense Motherland

Everywhere life is free and wide

Similarly, the Volga is full, flowing

Young people everywhere have a way

Old people everywhere have honor

[Says illegible:]
Girls, go home!

[Says illegible:]
Dangerous.

[Says illegible:]
Girls, go home!

[Says illegible:]
Go home!

[Praying in arabic:]
Allahu Akbar.

[Praying in arabic:]
Allahu Akbar.

[Praying in arabic]

[Het Evangelie van Matteüs 12:43-45]
When the unclean spirit goes out of man,

…then walks through waterless places,
looking for peace and finds;

…then he says: I will return to my house,
where i came from.

And when he comes, he finds him unoccupied,
swept and cleaned;

…then he goes and takes with him seven
other spirits more wicked than himself,

…and come and live there;

…and for that person
the latter is worse than the first.

So it will be with this wicked generation.

Sonya, will you hand over your milk?

Don’t you know that our cow is not milked!

Okay, okay, I just asked.

[Fedya:] Mom, pour a hundred grams of vodka.
- Sonya!

Did you hear about a story that
has happened in Kulebyakino, ha?

Such a cruel story! Tears!

There is one woman, that's exactly the same situation,
she didn't let her husband to nurse a hangover.

Ma, please, only 100 gramm.

And she had vodka.

He was begging her, even on his knees: "I’m dying, - he said.
- Sonya, pour a glass!"

She was called Sonya too.

And she said “no”. No,
that’s all what she answered!

Then after a moment, he passed away

Mom, I feel so bad.
Mom please pour a glass.

And she thought he was kidding,

but he was serious.

The ambulance arrived and said:

"If you would give him only 50 gram of vodka,
honey... 50 grams, and man would be alive".

That’s not all.

Now she is under investigation,
and she will be judged.

ُSo she got a vacation
on the Canary Islands

[Says illegible:]
Overslept?

Yes overslept, Gena, i am late a bit.

You better ask him, what he has done
with his leather jacket.

Damned parasite!

Kolya brought for him the
leather jacket, a new one.

And put a gate back!

What have you done with your jacket?

- Sold to one man for a bottle.
- Bottle of absolute alcohol?

- No, vodka. - Ugh!
- Well I’ll take it back this evening.

- You have something to smoke?
- Yes. Tobacco.

Here, this is what they
call a date with Amerika.

Real Uncle Bens.

- Where is Kolya?
- He is praying.

He is always praying.

I don’t care. Let him pray.

Let him pray. What’s your problem?

[Praying in arabic]

He is not Kolya anymore,
he is Abdulla now.

Wear his scarf and start:
"Sala mala sala mala".

- Hello, Sonya.
- Good morning, Sonya.

What are you looking at, Sonya?
Take your bread.

- But we are three person in our family.
- According to documents - two.

Your Abdulla should go to department
and make a registration for himself.

- And bring me a document after.
- And even if he is Abdulla

Look at your sons –
your sons are who?

Your Kostya was peeing until he finished a school
and after he wasn’t taken to the army even.

And now he is sleeping in the prison under
his bed Whole village knows about it, yes.

And what are you smiling,
Katya, crappy friend.

You breastfeeding your son still, and he is 40 years
old. He didn’t work even a single day of his life.

- Talk, talk!
- It’s better you keep talking crap, I don’t care!

And yours. Seedless. Are you
waiting for grandchildren still?

You can give up on it! He didn’t even
sleep with his wife, she told me herself.

Who are your sons?

And my brought money, and gifts.
He is not smoking, not drinking.

He is hard worker.

That’s why he has no time to go to department
to make a registration and get the medal.

Val’ka, he will have
benefits because of medal.

You will give me unlimited bread, be sure.

Here we are, everyone has nothing to say.

And you, Valka, put your
nasty tongue to your ass.

Did you see it?

Hey, chef, stop!

Will you pick me up?

Come on!

Kolya, a, Kolya…

…why didn’t I see you for a long time?

Why you are silent?

Kolya,

…is this is true that in Afghanistan
they called you Abdulla?

Abdalla.

Is it true Abdalla means
“slave of the God”?

Yes.

Okay, bye.

So arrogant!

Kolya, Kolya…

Abdalla!

Kolya, tell to your mother -
today I’m on duty at the farm.

Come to take a forage. Two bags. Bye.

Godfather! Godfather!

- Godfather…
- Silence!

Oh yes!

Stupid woman!

I could break it.

Are you going for forage tonight?

Listen, but how do you know about it?

Everyone knows.

Fedya ran for the bags.

- Okay, I’ll go.
- Kolya, say to Fedya that I found.

Who is seeking for something
- he always will find it.

[Sing:] Once me and Rabinovich
went for some business together,

Rabinovich said, he wants to drink;

Ma, why not? If all will be okay, until
next autumn we will dance at the wedding.

Ma, will we let Verka marry our Kolya?

Two bags of forage.
Kalym, after all?

Last year we had geologists here, they worked,
so everyone who wanted was fucking her.

She even invited them to her house. Her
grandmother was behind a curtain, and Verka…

People also said, she
was taking money for it.

You was in the prison, you know nothing.

Just talking nonsense!

Okay, what I don’t know?
Prostitute is always a prostitute.

What they were searching for? Oil, maybe?

- Who?
- Geologists.

- Not oil, but… What’s the name?
- Diamonds maybe?

I got tired of you.

I have no idea what they were looking for, but
i worked here my whole life and found nothing.

Wonder how these brilliants look like.

What are you talking about, mom?! Brilliants are
deep under ground, you have to drill, not to dig.

Okay, drill...

Son, you are not ready, why?
The way is long. Come on.

I’m not going.

Mom, I won’t steal.

What steal? From who steal?

From the State you mean?

But this State drunk all
blood from our bodies.

If you steal something from the State -
it will be counted as a good work.

You, puppy, if they will catch you –
nothing will happen to you,

…but I’ll go to jail again for sure,
do you understand?

My dear son, Kolyushen’ka,
this is just forage.

Our cow stopped giving milk.

Well, it’s bad, it’s clear that work
isn’t fair, but we need to survive.

I promise to you, with this muslim
we will have more problems in the future.

Okay, it’s okay Fedya.

Well, I’ll go myself.

- Where will you go? You can crawl barely around the yard.
- It’s okay,

…somehow I’ll go.

Well this is last time I ask you –
will you go or no?

I won’t.

Rat!

Let’s go, Fedya.

What the hell you wear this headscarf?

[Praying in arabic]

[Says illegible:]
People say there’s no God.

[Says illegible:]
So who painting the carron underground?

[Fedya with irony:]
Medal, medal.

[Fedya:] I take away the dung,
and he is going to take the medal.

[Mother:] How did you think?
He deserved, he must to take it.

[Mother:] For sure.

[Mother:] Otherwise they
will give it to someone else.

[Fedya with irony:]
Aha, the reward found a hero.

[Fedya:] All have forgotten about
that war, it was so long time ago.

Shiiiiit!

And this is for birds, so our
father will be happy in the Heaven.

One man dug this grave.

It was so cold, 20 degrees below
0. The earth was like a stone.

Other men came to help: "Nah, -
he said, - alone will finish it, alone".

Well let’s remember father.

We have happy news, father.

You kept saying, our Kolya will come back,
so he did.

Even with the medal.

He brought for you a
nice watches, but you… eh

- Drink, my son, drink. - I can not, it’s forbidden for me.
- Remember your father.

- Give it to me! - Fed’ka!
- He won’t drink!

I saw enough of these
muslims in the prison!

Soon he won’t eat from
the same plate with us!

He disdains!

- Come what are you talking about?!
- Oh damn, forget!

You think, my dear son, I don’t understand.

You think I am so silly.

But that night me and Fed’ka
brought that damned forage,

…after i cried whole night.

Not because of you, son,
no not because I was upset or so

…but because of this shitty, cursed life.

Shame.

Whole life we stealing and
whole life we feel ashamed.

Shame!

But if we wouldn’t
steal - wouldn’t survive.

Your father while working in
forestry, was stealing wood.

This way we got a house.

And that bed where i gave birth to both
of you also is maden from stolen wood.

Mom…

What? This is our life.

You will say, you have in Afghanistan
such a law, don’t drink vodka.

I respect.

But at the commemoration it’s necessary
to drink only 3 glasses of vodka.

Also the law,

…but our law.

You respect them - well,
but show some respect for us too.

Drink, my son.

I can not, mom.

So what? Your Allah endured it?

Rahmat (thanks).

I’ll talk to you later.

[Praying in arabic]

So stand up, come on.

They didn’t teach you in Afghanistan
to respect your elder brother?

Well, we don’t need a knife yet.

So what Kolyan, seems
like we have a problem, ha?

Let’s go, stand up, we will pray now.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh, Kolyan, are you eating
a hay? Can’t understand.

Mom, he refused to drink with us
but alone he got drunk as a pig.

Mom give it to me.
So cold, nice.

Cold.

Come on, drink, muslim.

[Fedya:] I will kill you!

[Mother:] Oh! Oh! People!

[Mother:] People, he is killing!

[Talking in farsi]

[Radio: "Demons", Pushkin A.S]
In the night his eyes burn clear;

Horses now go forward, straining;
Ding-ding-ding, the small bell’s sound...

There I see the phantoms gaining
In the plain that whitens round.

Fiends past number, formless curling,
In the play of dim moonlight

Demons manifold are whirling,
Like November leaves in flight...

Crowds of them! Where do they hurry?
Why this song in mournful pitch?

Is it goblins that they bury?
Make they marriage for a witch?

Storm-clouds whirl and storm-clouds scurry;
From behind them pale moonlight

Flickers where the snowflakes hurry;
Dark the sky, and dark the night.

Onward run the devils, sailing
In the measureless inane,

And their howls and mournful wailing
Nearly tear my heart in twain....

[Praying in arabic]

Did you notice, Fedya,

…one strange man driving
a car here for few last days

…always searching for something?

It’s police, they watching me.

Drink but the rest is for me.

- Vodka or absolute alcohol?
- Alcohol.

But there’s nothing to leave for you.

Did you hear that in Mukomolovo…

…four person because of this
absolute alcohol have died?

Paradisaic delight.

I won’t kill but for sure I will injure.

Did you hear what grandma
Arsenia did? Oh my God.

She said, I want to try, "Bounty"
chocolate for once at least.

And after I am ready to die, she said.

Maybe I will kill.

So if you do, of course they will
put a sign on your forehead, Fedya.

- What do you mean?
- Pif-paf, capital punishment.

So, uncle Vanya, if you
will see that I started to kill,

…yell: "Fedya! Dead penalty, Fedya!"

Did you understand?

Wait,

…but Kolenok is my godson, Fedya.

I held him in my own arms, these arms.

[With irony:] Godson.

Godson.

Godson.

Hey! Are you scared, the slave of God?

This is gardeners frightening crows.

So you caught a lot??

- Ha?
- Few.

Oh it’s so hot today.
I think I want to swim

- Kolya do you have a sigarette?
- I don’t smoke.

- Really? And don’t drink?
- And don’t drink.

Who is not smoking and not drinking -
will die... healthy.

Vera…

Vera!

Abdalla...

- What?
- Nightingales.

How do you call them in afghanian language?

There is no such language.

But what language you used?

Farsi.

Aha! Farsi-mersi.

- So I am asking, how in afghanian language you say "nightingale"?
- Bul-bul.

- How-how?
- Bul-bul.

- And how to say "a cigarette", ha?
- In that language there’s no such word – "a cigarette".

- And how will be "a water"?
- Ob.

Ob!

- And how will be "a earth"?
- Zamin.

- And how will be "lips"?
- Lab.

And how will be "I love
you" … in afghanian?

- Tora dust midoram
- О-о-о!

[Mother:] Kol’ka!

Come here, dinner is ready! Fuck this fish!

Kolya, and do you know how
will be “I love you” in Chinese?

How?
Put-in-and-take-out.

[Vera:] I love you -
tora dust midoram.

Hey! Gimme try your hat.

Kolya, and I know how it’s in French –
Je vouz aime.

And even in German –
Ich liebe dich.

Kolya, does this cap suit me?
Fit very well.

I know a song: I love you!

Kolya, do you know,

…I would never believe
that you can beat up Fedya.

Why did you start that fight? People
in the village saying different things. A?

You had pity for him, yes?
He hadn’t any pity for you.

He was bothering me.

Horror!

Once i met him in front of night club, and
he said: "Verka, let’s go and have some fun!"

I answered: "Why do you think I should
go and do something with you, dude?"

He said: "Wasn’t you dating my brother
Kol’ka before he went to the army? You was.

And he went missing in Afghanistan.

So now according to
law you are mine, dear".

I answered: "If there is such
law why I never heard of it?".

But he kept: "Anyway you will sleep
with me - for you there’s no choice, dear"

And I am like: "Whaaaat?!

I’d rather to sleep with drunky
herdsmen from our farm than with you".

Girl, can you please speak more quietly?

You shut up, did you understand?!

So he said: "What"?
And I am: "What-what, fuck you"!

Such people like as you is too much here!

Oh, Kolya, I tried hard
to run away, happily I did.

Let’s watch the movie.

Oh! Now look, they will fucking.

Wow, cool!

You, if you want, keep watching the movie,
and I will be waiting for you outside.

Kolya, a, Kolya
Didn’t you go to cinema in Afghanistan?

We hadn’t cinema there.
It was a small village in mountains.

- And what you was doing there?
- I was working, reading books.

[Talking in farsi]

- "Bo-bo" who?
- Grandfather Amreddin.

Kolya, is this is true that
you was his slave?

- People in our village talking that he bought you.
- He did not buy, he saved.

- They should have shot me, they already led me to the place of execution.
- You? - Yep.

- And he was riding a donkey past.
- Donkey? But why did he need you

His son was killed.

- His name was Abdalla.
- Oh, like yours.

Today I want to talk about Pyotr Ilyich
Tchaikovsky’s opera "The Queen of Spades".

And if so, we cannot escape the fact,

that in the fabric of
this great composition…

…is implanted in another -
smaller but quite independent.

Recall the famous scene of the ball…

…and remembered the invitation of the host
of the ball.

He asked his dear guests…

…listen to the pastoral
called "The sincerity of the shepherdess".

Tchaikovsky slightly changed the
time of action of Pushkin’s story…

…and moved the events to the brilliant
Great Catherine’s century.

And that time court hope perfomances…

…were very popular.

I asked Nina from the
motel to give me a glass,

…and she gave me this jar.

I told her: "What the hell you doing, Nina!

What i will do with it, give my
urine to the hospital for analyses?"

Shi-i-it!

[Talking indistinctly]

[Talking indistinctly]

[Talking indistinctly:]
Stand back! Dangerous!

Это он Вам говорит. Не ходите туда!
Тут у нас купаться-то нельзя.

[Talking indistinctly,
counting who drowned here]

In the middle it was Maria, Simak…

What are you talking
about?! Simak was drunk!

[Talking indistinctly]

Get out!

[Talking indistinctly]

- Is he sick?
- Why sick? Healthy.

- Just talking in this way.
- Who is Gennashka?

So he is Gennashka himself.
He is our shepherd.

[Talking indistinctly:]
In the middle it was a church.

[Talking indistinctly:]
In 1937 year it drowned.

[Talking indistinctly:]

And what he is saying now?

It was a church.

Then it fell into the ground,
and now we have a lake here.

And people talking that if someone
dives and touches the dome of the church…

…he will be sinless like as innocent baby.

Really? Sinless?

Speak so.

Our people who live
here don’t swim in the lake.

And don’t advise it to strangers.

I get it!

I get it!

[Talking indistinctly:]
I get.

[Talking indistinctly]

Inventory, inventory! We
know what kind of inventory it is.

Well, Val’ka! Oh Val’ka!

[Singing:] I waited and I believed,
I didn’t listen to my heart:

You and me, we are the two banks
Of one river.

That’s it, Valya.

I’m sorry, Sonya, but you
are uneducated woman.

Who is singing this kind of songs now?

[Singing:] I gave him to you,
Amerika - homewrecker,

Someone who i love,
So keep him safe.

I gave him to you, Amerika-homewrecker,

That one who i love so much,
So keep him safe...

Son’ka!

- Who is it?
- Van’ka, Van’ka.

Son’ka, fuck you!

You both are drinking here,
while your sons…

…beating each other until the death.

Aren’t you men or what,
cannot you stop them?!

Aha, I’ll stop them and
tomorrow Fed’ka will cut my throat.

Oh they broke the window!

Eh let’s try and will see what will happen!

Fed’ka, stop it now! I said, stop it!

Fuck you! Tell him, it’s the
death penalty! Yell: death penalty!

[Говорит на фарси]

Vera… Vera!

Be careful, don’t destroy anything.

Show me.

Oh that’s all right. You didn’t see Fed’ka.

Take it.

I came and he was under blanket –
was scared it’s you.

Listen, can I stay here for one night?

[Grandma:] Ver, who is there?

[With mockery:] Who's who. Fuck in a coat!

Oh!

Hello, grandmother.

- Grandma!
- А?

[With mockery:] When will you die?

You can stay if you want. If
you want, sleep on the bench,

…but if you want we can…
- On the bench!

Even if it’s the hen house, I don’t care!

Anyway tomorrow they
will say that you and me…

Vera…

Can I lay with you?

I just sleep and that’s all.

We did it before army –
and nothing happened.

Oh why it’s so hot.

Kolya what happened?

- Kolya, are you freezing? Yes?
- Ноги.

- Now we will warm you up.

Like this.

Now will be warm.
What is it? Thread.

How? How? Everyone is doing in this way!

But I don’t want.

- I want we get married.
- Get married? - Yes!

And when we get married,

And after "it" we will have children.

You will raise them,
and I will feed them
.

I will go to work,

And you will be waiting for me at home –
this is how i want.

Do you understand?

- And what after?
- After?

Children will grow up,
they will have their children.

And we will become old,
like as how grandma is.

And the eldest son will take us to himself.

And we will be from him

Did you see it?

I have to go to hell! I

- Allah is merciful, Allah is kind!
- Yes?

Allah Allah! You tired me with your Allah!

We have God Christ
and all kinds of saints, understooв?!

Allah is the name of God.

Understand? Only a name,
but there’s only one God.

- And He has many names.
- What which one is real?

Nobody knows. Nobody!

And when they find out, then
they will call Him and He will come…

…and everything will be different -
everything will be fine, right.

Really? And when it will happen?

I don’t know. Nobody knows.

But it will, for sure it will happen.

[Says illegible:] Do you
need a special invitation?

[Says illegible]

[Says illegible]

Oh!

Okay!

Who doesn’t drink and doesn’t smoke –
will die… healthy.

Oh dumbass!

Idiot! Oh, idiot!

You are so stupid, Vera!

I am such a dumbass, I almost drowned.

Mommy!

Allah Akbar!

- Mom!
- Oh!

- Good morning!
- Oh, sir, how did I miss you?

О- о-о, who came!

And I did not tell them about your arrival.
I'm afraid they will get scared and run.

Who would run?

- Hello, Miha!
- You shouldn’t call him like that!

We sat at the same desk at school? Sat
down. He prompted in class? Prompted

Mom, he gave everyone his homework to copy

- Yes I am sinful.
- Yes, sinful.

You know, here people talk about you such
things that i was pretty scared to come here.

But now, when I see you, I’m not scared.
Even opposite.

Aha, and I think why is mom so fussing?

She even killed a rooster
with an ax. Secretly.

I cannot.

Why?! I asked all gammers.
They said there’s no fasting these days.

What a stupid idea is
asking old village women?

These old women, I suppose, took the Winter
Palace by storm during the revolution of 1917.

Right?

Today is wednesday, Sofya Panteleymonovna.

And wednesday and friday are days of
fasting according to the Ortodox Church.

- On Wednesday, Judas betrayed Jesus Christ,
and on Friday he was crucified - А-а-а!

Hey! Where?

I drank tea looking at sugar. Hard times.

Our mother put a tiny
piece of sugar on a saucer,

…and we looked at it and were drinking tea.
It was sweet enough!

But I have never eaten
chicken just looking at it…

I’ll take it somewhere else.

He is, father…

Sometimes I don’t believe it.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of
night and think: is it true or not? True!

There are a lot of roads to our Lord,
Sofya Panteleymonovna.

But what’s about you, Fedor,
you never was in our church?

I’m telling him: "Fed’ka,
go to church, go".

When you burn in hell, remember
that you did not attend church.

C’mon, like as you going to church often.

Hey, what you talking about?!

I am… kinda not scared of hell.

Then, in prison, I worked in an
iron foundry, in an acid workshop.

After that, hell is not terrible to me.

But what is worse:
when your soul suffers or body?

[With irony:] Body, body...
I swallowed the nails.

But when the soul aches... it's…

So just imagine, your body will stay here, under
ground, останется, but your soul will be tortured.

Souls suffer there,

…souls.

So I will be waiting for
you in church, just come.

And there’s something else,
father. They fighting until the death.

Maybe you’ll say something
to them, or you’ll do something?

C’mon mom, what are you talking about?!

Help us, father, for
God’s sake please, help.

Maybe there’s some prayer or magic?

A long time ago,

…1500 years ago, there
lived one old saint man,

…Makariy Egyptian.

He lived in a cave, in some desert.

He was a great one, saint person.

And once during his prayer,
he heard a voice: "Makariy,

…there are two women
who are better than you,

…and they live in some city not so far".

On the same day he left and looked
for those women. He found them.

He started asking them, and they answered:

"We are sinful and live usual life".

But saint man didn’t stop
questioning: "For God’s sake,

…tell me more about your good deeds".

And finally those women told him:

"We have no good deeds.

Only with one thing we
try not to anger our Lord –...

…since we got married two brothers,

…15 years already we live so peacefully,

…that not an arguing,

…but even not a single bad
word we have told to each other".

This is an example of importancy of good
relationship inside family for our Lord.

We will make a peace.

We won’t fight anymore.

We will live peacefully
like those two women.

Now you kiss.

So? Kiss. What’s wrong with you?

Your namesake - Saint Nikolas.

Are you scared?

- Scared, yes?
- It’s forbidden for me.

But you kiss anyway.

So kiss it. Kiss!

Motherf♪cker!

Kiss!

Kiss, muslim motherf♪cker!
Kiss! Kiss!

I asked him.

Asked nicely!

Kolya, how far are you going with this ax?

Chop wood.

Hey, Shaytan!

[Talking in Arabic]

[Talking in Arabic]

The Most Holy Theotokos, Virgin Mary,

…forgive my sinful soul, forgive me.

Let’s go home, my dears, home, home.

Mom…

Grandpapa Amerdin says that our Heaven
is under your mothers feet.

It’s right, my son.

You know, father Mikhail
told me to keep you.

I asked him, how to keep?

Even now i cannot sleep well,

…whole night I only listen – …whole night I only listen –
is your brother sneaks and wants to kill you with knife..

- He can kill you.
- He won’t.

Oh son,

…it's even worse,
that he’s scared of you -…

…out of fear he will kill you more likely.

"Pray," - father said.
Nothing more.

Mom,

…I fixed the spinning wheel.

You have golden hands, son,
and the head is bright.

And God gave you health.

You are truly my son, our family, Korovin.

And your brother is more like
your father’s family. Bad blood.

But anyway he is my son.

Yes, useless, bad man.

But because of it I pity him even more.

Son. You know,

…forgive me –
but you must leave.

- Where, mom?
- To your uncle, Yury.

It’s your father’s brother,
do you remember him?

- А?
- Aha.

Or maybe to your grandpa
Amerdin to Afghanistan?

I’d send him gifts.

And you would send him my
greetings and maternal gratitude.

- So what about it, son? А?
- Nothing.

It’s your father’s. Fed’ka found,

…wanted to sell it to buy vodka
but i did my best and got it from him.

[Gennashka, speaks inaudible:]
Home! Go home, girls!

[Speaks inaudible:] With Gannashka it’s
good, but being at home is much better.

[Speaks inaudible:]
Are you tired, girls?

[Speaks inaudible:]
Tired. And Gennashka is tired.

[Speaks inaudible:]
Come on!

[Praying in Arabic]

[Shout from the helicopter:]
Take care, Pavel Petrovich!

I saw you from sky.

Thought, it’s nice idea to visit my mother
in the village.

And then I think: I will scare folks
and I will disturb old people.

Do you know who are they?
People who can do anything.

Practically they are not even
a people anymore – Gods.

With their help we will develop our lands.

Now we were flying - watching the land.

Let’s take a sit?

Shit!

Shit!

What are you doing here?
Do you practice religious cult?

Why not! Good place.

I know, I know, I know!
And do not blame you!

And if they oppress you -
immediately come to me.

We have freedom of all faiths.

Do you believe in God or the devil, it's your
business, if only there is no harm to the state.

You know, even I began
to go to church sometimes.

And you know, it’s not bad. Relaxing.

And in general,
a kind of psychotherapy.

I learned the prayer "Pater noster".

Now I am studying the "Symbol of Faith".
You remember?

I believe in one God…

А! Although you…

Well, I donated to the church bell
a certain amount of money.

Of course, who knew it will be like this?

But if it has happened…

It was salom - became palom, yes?
Or opposite?

But people need faith,
and you are well done, Nikolai.

Although... of course...

Well, nothing. God is one.

One, I am asking you?

One!

And God exists - now it’s clear

But I cannot imagine how he looks like.

Devil or Satan rules the ball -
it's easy,

..а-а-а...

You didn’t finish yet?

Well, then I will go,

…don’t want to disturb you.

I will go swimming, the
water is warm there now.

[Sing:] O, my homeland is a spacious country:
Streams and fields and forests full and fair.

I don't know of any other country
Where a man can breathe a freer air!

- Hello, grandma Manya.
- Hello hello.

From great Moscow to the farthest border,
From the Arctic seas to Samarkand,

Man can walk and feel that he's the owner
Of his own unbounded Motherland.

[Singing]

Satan! Satan!

People! People! Help!
Help! Satan!

I want to forget you, but I see I can not,

My sad days are years,

I gave you America,

The one whom I love, keep him save

Paper.

Oh shit! Irka watch it! Dollars!

- What?
- What-what! American money!

Guys there are some money!

Kolyunok, run as fast as it
possible, otherwise it will be too late!

What happened, godfather?

Manna from heaven! Take some bag!

What manna?

Stop praying, Kolyan!
There are dollars!

We used to catch fish, but now dollars.

Where?! Wait! Where?! I am the first!

Fedka, do not lose your pants!

- Captain! - What?
- Dollars. - What?

- Bucks, Mikhalich!
- What are the bucks?

Mama Mia!

[From a helicopter:]
Товарищи, граждане, господа!

News flash!

This money can not be touched!

For operational purposes, they are
processed special chemical composition,

…causing numerous
ulcers on the surface of the body.

It is very dangerous!

But if you already took them,
then stay where you are…

…and wait for the helicopter to land,

…where will be carried out
acceptance of poisoned dollars…

…and sanitization of victims.

Your life is in your hands, comrades.

Stand from under!

Look, zero attention.
What are these people!

Come on, stop this shit.

Hey, Abdullah, hey, there are bucks!

- Don’t! - What are you, crazy? Let me in.
- Don’t, don’t! - Why not?

- Vera, don’t!
- Let me go!

Vera… Vera!

Vera, tora dust midoram!
I love you.

After, Kolya, after!

Mine!

All is mine!

[Sing:] I want to forget you
Yes, obviously, it will not work,

I've been sad for years now

I gave you America,

The one I love Keep hin safe.

[Singing]

Who didn’t turn off light?

And Vas’ka Kukushkin ran to me:
"Valka, give me a bottle of vodka."

Gives me these greenbacks. And I was
in the city with a report and knew nothing.

"F♪ck you! - I told.
- Drew them, I suppose".

Vas’ka draws well.

And from you, he went to another place and
from one woman bought a bottle of moonshine.

- How much?
- Over 1500.

- 1500 of what?
- These dollars.

Can you imagine!
How not to believe people after that..

Sonya! Trouble, Sonya!

Sonyushka! Pure tears!

- And Pavel Petrovich where?
- In the hospital, his leg broke.

Some kind of pig he sees everything.

What a pig?! It's not just a pig -
here he must see Satan himself.

He stole so much money!

Do not steal, but he was given.

[With irony:] Was given, okay…

Why didn't they give us something, huh?

Yes, he sold our land to someone!
Land! For sure!

- If we are not sold by one - there will be another.
- You?

Who needs you - to buy you?

Where’s Son’ka?

Fed’ka hanged himself.

Oh mommy!

Saint Mary.

Fed’ka!

Fedya! Feden’ka! Fedya!

He is alive!

You bastard!

Immediately sobered up

Fed’ka, Fed’ka.

You wanted to repeat what your father did!

Mom I am sobered up immediately.

Do not hang yourself anymore, people!

For no reason you do not
need to hang yourself anymore!

And even if you think you have a reason!

Because there’s no such reason.

Because… because it is a sin.

And it’s easy to commit a sin

As easy as entering the water
when money floats on the river.

Do you understand me?

Well,

…can not pray - do not pray,

…can't be baptized - don't be baptized,

can not fast - do not fast,

…can not believe to Jesus - do not believe,

…you can not believe
Mohammed - do not believe,

…can not believe - do not believe.

But you should know:

Satan will come and
you will believe him,

…because he makes you believe him.

And it will be bad, very bad.

Believe at least.

[Praying in Arabic]

[Mother:] Drunk bastard, pig!

[Mother:] Kol’ka fixed
it and you destroyed.

[Mother:] Was the spinning wheel as a new.

Why are you standing? Sit down.

- Well, recognize me?
- Yes, comrade lieutenant.

Offend - captain, however, reserve.

Because of health issues.

Well, nothing, call me a
political commander, as before

By the way I am watching
you almost a month.

- Do you know why?
- No.

Slow-witted you Guard
soldier Nikolai Ivanov.

Remember October 14, 1986,

Chanbe village
120 kilometers from Kunduz?

Yes.

Remember how the guard captain
Aleksey Ivanov…

ordered you to kill, shoot,
three captured afghans, and you refused?

Yes.

We shot them.
You see, you remember everything.

And then we had a political talk with you.

- We beat you?
- No. - Right.

Because Alex said
that there is something in this guy.

And then you promised us that …

when cleaning the Maruni kishlak,
you will go in the first line. Promised?

And you went.
But the afghans hit, we retreated...

and you stayed. - No.

We had to leave -
otherwise we could all die there.

But Alex said that the missing
are worse than the dead.

And we went at night.

They shot six, and the seventh …

Alex got a bullet in his lung

and when he spoke, he had …

from the mouth flew bloody foam.

And my whole face was in the blood.

He said, "I understood what is
special about this guy - he is a traitor."

And when he …

died in my arms,
I swore to myself that...

if I ever see you,
i will kill you

And then I saw you in a report on TV

Bought a weapon
took a vacation at work and arrived.

Twice a miracle saved you, Kolya Ivanov.

And then something happened.

You have beautiful places.

I rested.

Yes, I bought here, so to speak, a
little book, "New Testament" is called.

And I read everything at night - I can't sleep,
for a long time, after all, did not kill anyone.

There is, of course, a lot of that
with which I can not agree.

"Do not swear."

But what about, for example, the oath?
On it all army stands.

Or - "do not judge."

Okay, I agree not to judge

if you shoot every bastard
without trial and investigation.

Shit!

There is a lot, of course, outdated.

Commandment number 3, for example.

"Don't get divorced if she
did not commit adultery...

and do not marry a divorced"

Why?

My first, for example, did not cheat on me

…but she was the rare bitch.

I divorced, married a divorced.

We live very well.

Two children.

And the former wife, the main
thing, lives well with the new husband.

Where is the logic here?

Well, what about the cheek …

It maybe
in his time they beat on the cheeks.

And now if you are shoted
from the caliber 7.62 on the right,

then you will not turn the other side.

And I do not blaspheme.

I, by the way
baptized two years ago.

I am now a baptized political officer.

The more I read,
the less I wanted to kill you.

That's the thing, Kolya.

So there is something
in this booklet, there is.

And a lot.

Like here, for example
at this story about the man

about the person
who cast out his demon.

Kicked out, but the soul
left empty, unoccupied.

And the demon walked, walked and returned.

Yes, not one, but grabbed seven of them,
more abruptly than him.

Do you know when I felt all seven in me?

This is when the bucks on
the river floated. I was there.

I already took off pants with sandals.

But after I saw you.

And then I thought, you can
not go into the water. I won’t!

And they are turning over in my mind.

That's when you saved yourself

Guard soldier Nikolai Ivanov.

Thank you Lord!

How many times
I did not want to kill, but killed.

And then I wanted to kill …

…but didn’t.

- You know what saved me?
- No.

This. And it saved you, by the way, too.

You cross yourself too.

- How?
- Well, like all normal baptized people do - like this.

Why you used your left hand?

This is me from the birth
of a lefty. And I worry.

I'm shooting with my left hand as well.

Here.

I can not.

Why?

It’s forbidden for me

- Because there is no God but Allah
and Mohammed his prophet? - Yes.

Why didn't you stay there then?

Why did you come here?

- I heard a voice.
- And what did he say to you?

- He said: "Go back to your house."
- Here you go.

Well, he told me that in Farsi.

So, that means everything is correct - came
and brought the seven worst ones themselves.

- No.
- No?

Well, then cross...
just for me.

Do you understand me?

Maybe you will cross yourself like this?

Now I understand what Alex meant

when he called you a traitor,
Kolya Ivanov.

Kolya Ivanov…

Shit!

Mama…

Mama…

Shit!

My dear friend, Dear Shepherd,

Who am i sighing for
And I want to open passion,

Ah, did not come to dance,

Ah, did not come to dance,

I don't know why
I don’t know why.

I am here, but boring, languid,
See how thin!

I will not be more humble
I have long hidden passion

I will not be humble
I hid my passion!

I don't know why
I don’t know why.
