USSR 1937
THE HEIGHT OF STALIN'S TERROR
4
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,568
This is your new work gang...
5
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,196
Another fine bunch.
6
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:17,364
Each of 'em needs three assistants.
7
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,325
Two to hold him up...
8
00:03:19,909 --> 00:03:21,702
and one to move his legs.
9
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,128
Wake up!
10
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:51,565
Here, the papers to be burnt
on the major's orders.
11
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:53,859
This one's going to burn it.
12
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:58,113
You've got a cell with a working lock?
13
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,741
All are working. We just changed 'em.
14
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,087
Take us to a stove.
15
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:16,882
Come on, get a move on!
16
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:58,507
What's in there?
17
00:04:58,841 --> 00:05:01,802
All your prison secrets?
18
00:05:02,136 --> 00:05:06,140
Or last year's construction permits?
19
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:09,435
None of your business.
For you, it's kindling.
20
00:05:09,601 --> 00:05:11,562
- Got it?
- Got it.
21
00:05:13,314 --> 00:05:14,565
Go inside.
22
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:31,999
Put everything from the sack
into that stove and burn it!
23
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:33,834
Look at me.
24
00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:36,045
Don't think you can hide even a scrap.
25
00:05:36,545 --> 00:05:40,758
If I find anything,
you'll be in solitary for a month.
26
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:42,217
Got it?
27
00:05:44,595 --> 00:05:46,138
Matches.
28
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,985
That'll be enough.
29
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,946
Give the match box back afterwards.
30
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,449
Lock him in.
31
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:09,661
What's the old man in here for?
32
00:06:09,828 --> 00:06:11,080
SVE.
33
00:06:11,246 --> 00:06:15,084
Oh! Undesirable element?
34
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:17,127
And I thought...
35
00:06:17,753 --> 00:06:20,964
he was a watchman in a wood yard...
36
00:06:21,632 --> 00:06:25,219
and let thieves slip in.
Imagine that!
37
00:06:25,386 --> 00:06:29,348
Maybe the old man
ran a whorehouse somewhere?
38
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:41,044
"Dear Comrade Stalin,
39
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:43,589
I, Smirnov,
40
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:46,383
Ivan Sergeyich,
41
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:49,845
a Bolshevik Party member since
before the Revolution...
42
00:07:50,012 --> 00:07:54,141
have been falsely accused of belonging
to the Trotsky-Bukharin faction...
43
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:56,477
They extort confessions from me.
44
00:07:57,227 --> 00:07:59,688
They thrash me during interrogation."
45
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:26,298
"Our dear leader, Comrade Stalin,
46
00:08:26,465 --> 00:08:28,675
we, the Pestrukhin brothers,
47
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:31,553
collective farmers, former red partisans,
48
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,973
are accused... Soviet power...
49
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,518
the state... damage...
50
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:41,313
They beat confessions out of us...
torture us.
51
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,275
Devils.
We're devoted to the Communist Party
52
00:08:45,442 --> 00:08:48,946
we spilled our blood for it..."
53
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:53,283
We spilled our blood for it.
54
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:18,308
"Factory manager...
55
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:20,686
falsely accused...
56
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:23,355
I'm subjected to torture...
57
00:09:23,939 --> 00:09:25,899
no strength to bear...
58
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:27,943
I beg you to intervene..."
59
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:34,324
"Communist justice."
60
00:10:10,694 --> 00:10:13,905
Communist justice...
61
00:10:15,324 --> 00:10:18,827
Communist justice...
62
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:09,211
"I request a cell visit by someone
63
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,713
from the prosecutor's office.
64
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:18,345
I have some vital information.
65
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,181
I.S. Stepnyak."
66
00:12:56,359 --> 00:12:59,529
TWO PROSECUTORS
67
00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:06,620
BASED ON A STORY BY GEORGY DEMIDOV
68
00:13:42,697 --> 00:13:43,990
You have to knock.
69
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:06,637
What do you want?
70
00:14:49,055 --> 00:14:50,055
To see the Major.
71
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:46,904
Open up!
72
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:40,875
Assistant prison warden.
73
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:10,779
There you go.
74
00:17:12,282 --> 00:17:13,324
Good morning.
75
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:16,703
Come in.
76
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:32,927
Please have a seat, Comrade Prosecutor.
77
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:48,318
What can I do for you?
78
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:16,012
You have a prisoner here, I.S. Stepnyak.
79
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:20,809
The prosecutor's office has received
his request for a visit.
80
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:24,145
What on earth!
81
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:32,779
We currently have tens of thousands
of prisoners on our lists.
82
00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:36,032
Do you know which block,
83
00:18:36,199 --> 00:18:38,201
which cell this, uh...?
84
00:18:38,952 --> 00:18:43,206
Stepnyak, Ivan Stepanovich.
Yes, Block 5, Cell 84.
85
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:46,084
The Special Block?
86
00:18:48,211 --> 00:18:51,589
You got a message from the Special Block?
87
00:18:54,217 --> 00:18:56,219
Yes. What of it?
88
00:18:57,595 --> 00:18:58,847
Oh, nothing.
89
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:02,809
It doesn't matter.
90
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:13,110
Excuse me.
91
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:16,781
Yes.
92
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:19,700
No.
93
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:26,206
Yes.
94
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:29,544
I don't know. Ask Petrovich.
95
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:33,381
Still more people?
96
00:19:39,429 --> 00:19:41,514
Take them from Block 1.
97
00:19:42,307 --> 00:19:44,017
No, they haven't been questioned.
98
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:46,143
Yes.
99
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,531
Understood.
100
00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:01,743
Fine.
101
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:09,375
Young man,
102
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:15,089
permits for access to prisoners
103
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,759
under the jurisdiction
of the regional NKVD
104
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:21,137
can be granted only
by the prison warden.
105
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:24,724
I'm very sorry,
but you'll have to come back another day,
106
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:28,061
or wait for the warden to return.
107
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:30,688
Will he be long?
108
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:37,237
There are many meetings nowadays
109
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,947
about prison accommodation.
110
00:20:39,697 --> 00:20:41,491
And they are usually long.
111
00:20:44,077 --> 00:20:45,995
Well, I'll wait.
112
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:59,676
May I wait in here?
113
00:21:01,511 --> 00:21:02,637
Of course.
114
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:08,268
As it happens,
I have to go off to one of the blocks.
115
00:21:10,812 --> 00:21:12,855
They are all overcrowded,
116
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:15,400
and I've got my hands full.
117
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:18,987
So...
118
00:21:21,197 --> 00:21:24,200
forgive me for abandoning you.
119
00:21:24,784 --> 00:21:26,536
Duty calls.
120
00:21:28,329 --> 00:21:29,998
Make yourself at home.
121
00:21:30,373 --> 00:21:31,624
Thank you.
122
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,867
Let him pass.
123
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:35,813
Yes!
124
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:45,531
Do you know what Radek replied,
125
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:49,452
when asked what he was doing...
before the Revolution?
126
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:50,619
No.
127
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,789
"I was waiting in jail."
128
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:57,126
And to the next question,
what did he do after the Revolution?
129
00:22:58,086 --> 00:22:59,086
No.
130
00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:01,339
"Jail was waiting for me."
131
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,193
Well, what's up?
132
00:23:24,946 --> 00:23:26,322
Some student has turned up,
133
00:23:26,489 --> 00:23:28,658
with the credentials
of an inspecting prosecutor.
134
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:32,036
So they've already appointed him?
135
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:34,830
And?
136
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:40,128
He wants to see the prisoner
in Cell 84 in the Special Block.
137
00:23:43,214 --> 00:23:44,215
Stepnyak?
138
00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:49,262
How does he know Stepnyak
is in that cell?
139
00:23:49,429 --> 00:23:50,972
I have no idea.
140
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:05,278
Petrovich,
141
00:24:05,862 --> 00:24:08,531
the new inspecting prosecutor
has turned up.
142
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:11,826
Yes, they've already appointed him.
143
00:24:12,201 --> 00:24:13,411
Just a kid...
144
00:24:14,579 --> 00:24:19,000
He's asking to see a prisoner
in the Special Block.
145
00:24:21,711 --> 00:24:22,711
Fine.
146
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:25,047
Fine...
147
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:27,175
And what if he insists?
148
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:30,303
Fine.
149
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:33,264
You heard the one about Radek?
150
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:40,062
Yes. Of course, I'll report back.
151
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:48,696
We'll let him stew for a bit.
152
00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:51,616
If he's still here at the end
of the day, bring him to me.
153
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:52,825
Very good.
154
00:24:55,578 --> 00:24:57,079
"Jail was waiting for me."
155
00:26:34,051 --> 00:26:36,929
What are you standing around for?
156
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:38,889
Get to work!
157
00:26:53,529 --> 00:26:55,114
The assistant warden's not here?
158
00:26:58,034 --> 00:26:59,034
No.
159
00:26:59,869 --> 00:27:00,911
Where is he?
160
00:27:02,913 --> 00:27:04,540
He went off to see about something.
161
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:06,751
And who are you?
162
00:27:07,752 --> 00:27:08,919
I'm a prosecutor.
163
00:27:11,922 --> 00:27:13,674
Excuse me, who am I talking to?
164
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:15,718
Never mind, forget it.
165
00:28:31,252 --> 00:28:32,378
Well?
166
00:28:32,545 --> 00:28:34,839
The prison warden is waiting for you.
167
00:29:25,723 --> 00:29:27,141
Open the door.
168
00:30:05,179 --> 00:30:06,179
Yes!
169
00:30:08,098 --> 00:30:09,183
Here he is.
170
00:30:10,851 --> 00:30:12,061
Go in, please.
171
00:30:14,522 --> 00:30:16,649
Forgive me for making you wait.
172
00:30:16,816 --> 00:30:20,152
But I got held up by the chief,
what can you do?
173
00:30:20,736 --> 00:30:24,865
We're living in troubled times,
as I'm sure you know.
174
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:27,618
Please have a seat.
175
00:30:31,872 --> 00:30:33,749
It's a pleasure to meet you.
176
00:30:34,124 --> 00:30:38,045
Of course we are used to older people
in Comrade Kornyev's post,
177
00:30:38,212 --> 00:30:41,257
but times are changing
and our former ideas
178
00:30:41,423 --> 00:30:45,469
about young people's abilities
are clearly outmoded.
179
00:30:45,886 --> 00:30:51,642
Now the whole Soviet apparatus
is rejuvenating, so to speak.
180
00:30:57,273 --> 00:31:00,109
So what about my request?
181
00:31:00,276 --> 00:31:02,319
You've been told what it's about?
182
00:31:02,862 --> 00:31:06,490
Yes, of course, I've been informed...
183
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:08,242
of everything.
184
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:10,744
But you see,
185
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:13,831
it would be better to postpone
your meeting with the prisoner
186
00:31:14,248 --> 00:31:17,793
until better times.
187
00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:20,462
For what reason?
188
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:27,845
With the...
189
00:31:29,471 --> 00:31:32,850
current overcrowding in this prison...
190
00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:35,728
comrade prosecutor
must be aware of the problem...
191
00:31:35,895 --> 00:31:39,940
we are not always able to maintain
the required hygiene standards.
192
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:43,819
So we often get outbreaks
of infectious diseases:
193
00:31:43,986 --> 00:31:47,406
dysentery, typhoid
and even spotted typhus.
194
00:31:47,948 --> 00:31:53,370
Block 5 has been especially unfortunate
in this respect.
195
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:56,749
It's also known as the Special Block,
196
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:01,253
as it holds prisoners charged with...
197
00:32:01,712 --> 00:32:03,589
counter-revolutionary crimes.
198
00:32:04,006 --> 00:32:08,677
There's a whole bouquet...
199
00:32:09,929 --> 00:32:11,680
of infectious diseases there,
200
00:32:12,473 --> 00:32:17,895
and I strictly advise against anyone
whose work does not require it
201
00:32:18,729 --> 00:32:21,607
against even looking in there.
202
00:32:22,191 --> 00:32:25,903
That's why I'm here, to carry out my work.
203
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:28,155
Yes, yes, of course.
204
00:32:28,781 --> 00:32:31,659
I only meant that
205
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:37,498
while a prison guard, for example,
can't avoid his normal duties,
206
00:32:37,665 --> 00:32:39,416
a prosecutor has the right
207
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:44,421
to postpone his meeting with a prisoner
until a more suitable time.
208
00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:48,342
It will hardly affect the
outcome of the case.
209
00:32:48,842 --> 00:32:53,681
And it's a very bad idea to visit now,
as the doctors think that...
210
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,642
the prisoner you want to see,
211
00:32:57,267 --> 00:32:59,269
has some...
212
00:33:00,688 --> 00:33:02,398
infectious disease.
213
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:09,613
In that case, the prisoner should
be transferred to the prison hospital.
214
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:14,493
A prisoner only needs such a transfer
215
00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:17,454
if he's in a shared cell.
216
00:33:18,539 --> 00:33:19,832
But Stepnyak,
217
00:33:19,999 --> 00:33:24,461
as a dangerous state criminal,
is being held in isolation.
218
00:33:25,587 --> 00:33:27,089
In such cases,
219
00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:31,051
the patient is treated in his cell,
220
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:35,431
as long as there is no need
for an urgent surgical intervention,
221
00:33:36,056 --> 00:33:39,893
or constant medical observation.
222
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:43,856
And if the disease is infectious,
223
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:47,693
the cell is off-limits.
224
00:33:48,485 --> 00:33:52,322
I even discussed with the doctor
225
00:33:53,407 --> 00:33:58,996
moving the prisoner to the room
where defendants meet their lawyers.
226
00:33:59,163 --> 00:34:00,163
But...
227
00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:03,792
the doctor was dead set against it.
228
00:34:05,294 --> 00:34:06,545
Such a transfer...
229
00:34:08,839 --> 00:34:11,050
would infringe the rules of hygiene,
230
00:34:12,009 --> 00:34:14,928
and might endanger...
231
00:34:15,971 --> 00:34:17,139
the sick man.
232
00:34:17,723 --> 00:34:19,892
What exactly is wrong
with prisoner Stepnyak?
233
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:22,853
The doctors haven't made
a definite diagnosis yet,
234
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:24,521
but something intestinal...
235
00:34:26,148 --> 00:34:27,775
It might even be typhoid.
236
00:34:27,941 --> 00:34:29,777
Typhoid? Well, that's not very risky.
237
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:33,030
I'm not going to shake hands,
or eat out of the same bowl.
238
00:34:41,038 --> 00:34:46,001
So you insist on meeting
prisoner Stepnyak immediately?
239
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:48,670
Yes, I insist.
240
00:35:03,685 --> 00:35:07,064
Number 5! Report to my office.
Immediately.
241
00:35:22,246 --> 00:35:24,039
You've just been appointed?
242
00:35:25,249 --> 00:35:26,625
Three months ago.
243
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,587
Do you know where your predecessor is?
244
00:35:35,342 --> 00:35:36,342
Yes!
245
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:45,352
Take Comrade...
246
00:35:46,895 --> 00:35:47,938
Kornyev.
247
00:35:48,105 --> 00:35:50,190
Kornyev! Take prosecutor Kornyev
248
00:35:50,691 --> 00:35:53,694
to prisoner in number 84.
249
00:36:06,331 --> 00:36:10,169
Accompany comrade prosecutor
to prisoner Stepnyak
250
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:12,546
in number 84.
251
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:16,633
We must comply with the lawful requests
252
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,594
of the prosecutor's office without fail.
253
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:20,470
I'm very happy
254
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:23,265
that our new prosecutor
has turned out to be
255
00:36:23,432 --> 00:36:25,517
such persistent young man.
256
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,437
But all the same, I regret
that you are so incautious.
257
00:36:30,647 --> 00:36:35,944
Washing your hands with soap won't
protect you from certain illnesses.
258
00:36:38,739 --> 00:36:40,032
What do you mean?
259
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:41,408
All I mean is,
260
00:36:42,326 --> 00:36:45,579
don't forget about the risk of infection.
261
00:36:49,917 --> 00:36:51,168
I'll try not to.
262
00:36:51,335 --> 00:36:52,628
I'm glad to hear it.
263
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:32,436
He's with me!
264
00:39:01,465 --> 00:39:02,507
He's with me!
265
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:11,933
Open number 84!
266
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,727
By order of the prison warden!
267
00:39:14,269 --> 00:39:17,522
The prosecutor has come to see Stepnyak.
268
00:39:20,192 --> 00:39:21,193
Last name?
269
00:39:22,652 --> 00:39:23,695
Kornyev.
270
00:39:27,783 --> 00:39:28,784
First name?
271
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:30,911
Alexander Mikhailovich.
272
00:40:18,875 --> 00:40:19,876
Open the door.
273
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:22,314
Citizen Stepnyak,
274
00:41:22,772 --> 00:41:25,817
the prosecutor has come
for a private talk with you.
275
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:51,676
Show me your professional accreditation,
Citizen...
276
00:41:53,303 --> 00:41:54,429
Prosecutor.
277
00:41:57,474 --> 00:42:00,685
You don't trust
the representative of the authorities?
278
00:42:05,565 --> 00:42:07,526
I don't trust you!
279
00:42:10,695 --> 00:42:13,782
The prisoner is within his rights
to check who I really am.
280
00:42:34,427 --> 00:42:36,972
Order them to unlock my bunk.
281
00:42:37,973 --> 00:42:39,766
Then there'll be somewhere to sit.
282
00:42:43,144 --> 00:42:44,771
Please unlock the bunk.
283
00:43:28,481 --> 00:43:29,733
And now...
284
00:43:30,859 --> 00:43:33,612
get them to leave us alone.
285
00:43:34,904 --> 00:43:37,699
I won't speak in front of outsiders.
286
00:43:38,325 --> 00:43:40,076
I'm not an outsider!
287
00:43:40,243 --> 00:43:43,121
It's my duty to keep
the prisoner under observation.
288
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:46,124
He can observe us through the peephole.
289
00:43:48,168 --> 00:43:52,464
I have no intention
of attacking the prosecutor.
290
00:43:53,298 --> 00:43:57,302
But I absolutely insist
that our discussion be private.
291
00:43:59,220 --> 00:44:00,722
That is my right.
292
00:44:03,391 --> 00:44:05,602
Leave us please, he's within his rights.
293
00:44:10,899 --> 00:44:12,233
Leave us.
294
00:44:52,982 --> 00:44:55,902
It's difficult for me to stand.
295
00:45:03,034 --> 00:45:05,120
I'm here because of this note.
296
00:45:07,956 --> 00:45:09,290
Did you write it?
297
00:45:19,634 --> 00:45:20,802
I did.
298
00:45:24,973 --> 00:45:30,562
I had to smash my knuckle
against this metal thing.
299
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:35,150
There's nothing sharp in here.
300
00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:41,948
Before using your own blood,
did you ask for a pencil and paper?
301
00:45:44,701 --> 00:45:45,869
I did.
302
00:45:47,036 --> 00:45:49,080
But of course they didn't provide it.
303
00:45:53,501 --> 00:45:58,214
How did you get your message
out of the prison?
304
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:01,384
No need to answer if it's a secret.
305
00:46:01,551 --> 00:46:03,636
What secret?
306
00:46:05,597 --> 00:46:08,141
I simply gave it to the guard,
307
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,604
on a wing and a prayer, as they say.
308
00:46:14,689 --> 00:46:16,316
And as you see,
309
00:46:17,484 --> 00:46:19,360
it escaped beyond these walls.
310
00:46:34,459 --> 00:46:36,961
Are you really
from the prosecutor's office?
311
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:42,258
You've seen my accreditation.
312
00:46:43,676 --> 00:46:48,681
It's child's play for the local branch
of the NKVD
313
00:46:48,848 --> 00:46:51,935
to forge such stuff.
314
00:46:52,519 --> 00:46:56,147
Perhaps this document
will dispel your doubts about me?
315
00:47:10,787 --> 00:47:13,832
So you studied at law school.
316
00:47:16,084 --> 00:47:17,168
You graduated?
317
00:47:18,545 --> 00:47:20,171
Yes, three months ago.
318
00:47:21,214 --> 00:47:23,675
And how did you end up
in the prosecutor's office?
319
00:47:24,217 --> 00:47:25,593
Through the university quota.
320
00:47:26,302 --> 00:47:31,933
So, the local NKVD have infiltrated
321
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:34,185
the prosecutor's office,
322
00:47:35,061 --> 00:47:37,480
if lads like you...
323
00:47:39,482 --> 00:47:41,734
who are still wet behind the ears
324
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,778
are being appointed.
325
00:48:28,865 --> 00:48:30,199
Ivan Stepanovich.
326
00:48:39,876 --> 00:48:43,338
Do you remember the speech you made
at our law school anniversary?
327
00:48:51,137 --> 00:48:52,180
Yes,
328
00:48:54,223 --> 00:48:56,476
I was there at your school.
329
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:00,688
What of it?
330
00:49:02,231 --> 00:49:07,028
You said that Soviet rule of law
is part of the great Bolshevik Truth,
331
00:49:07,737 --> 00:49:12,116
and that we future lawyers,
we should fight for this Truth.
332
00:49:13,451 --> 00:49:15,370
I paid great attention to your words,
333
00:49:16,204 --> 00:49:18,957
and took them
as more than just fine rhetoric.
334
00:49:32,053 --> 00:49:34,013
You understood correctly.
335
00:49:34,722 --> 00:49:36,641
It was all just as I said.
336
00:49:38,726 --> 00:49:40,269
We fought for it...
337
00:49:41,813 --> 00:49:44,565
for the worker-peasant Truth,
338
00:49:44,732 --> 00:49:47,276
against the Whites.
339
00:49:47,443 --> 00:49:50,947
And in dungeons like this,
340
00:49:52,532 --> 00:49:54,450
we waited
341
00:49:54,617 --> 00:49:56,494
to be shot
342
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:58,454
or hanged.
343
00:50:03,668 --> 00:50:06,421
And doesn't defending Soviet law
344
00:50:06,796 --> 00:50:08,798
still entail risks and difficulties now?
345
00:50:23,896 --> 00:50:26,858
It seems you're not stupid, lad.
346
00:50:28,776 --> 00:50:32,864
And since you're not stupid
and you still came here,
347
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:36,075
you are also honest,
348
00:50:37,493 --> 00:50:38,745
and no coward.
349
00:50:42,874 --> 00:50:44,500
Are you married, by any chance?
350
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:48,962
No.
351
00:50:49,172 --> 00:50:52,050
Are your father and mother still alive?
352
00:50:52,633 --> 00:50:54,135
No, they're dead.
353
00:50:58,931 --> 00:51:02,643
Then listen to what I'm going to tell you.
354
00:51:03,478 --> 00:51:05,521
But first, look at what...
355
00:51:09,358 --> 00:51:13,279
the NKVD did to me.
356
00:51:15,573 --> 00:51:18,117
Just don't show any reaction!
357
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:25,249
We don't want the man
at the door to know about it.
358
00:52:31,232 --> 00:52:33,693
That's how things are, sonny.
359
00:52:34,235 --> 00:52:36,320
You saw what I'm coughing up.
360
00:52:36,696 --> 00:52:38,698
My urine is also red.
361
00:52:39,574 --> 00:52:42,535
Once, during the Revolution,
362
00:52:43,077 --> 00:52:45,580
I got thrashed by some Kulaks.
363
00:52:47,748 --> 00:52:51,878
But I was young and curly-headed then.
364
00:52:52,211 --> 00:52:53,629
I could cope.
365
00:52:54,672 --> 00:52:55,923
But now,
366
00:52:57,592 --> 00:52:59,010
another dose...
367
00:53:01,053 --> 00:53:02,680
will finish me off.
368
00:53:04,724 --> 00:53:07,310
It's probably pointless anyway.
369
00:53:12,148 --> 00:53:13,816
What did they do this to you for?
370
00:53:14,150 --> 00:53:17,153
Not "what for", but "why?".
371
00:53:19,155 --> 00:53:22,491
I have a stubborn character.
372
00:53:23,826 --> 00:53:28,080
I won't sign a death warrant
373
00:53:29,165 --> 00:53:32,919
for myself, or other innocent people.
374
00:53:35,046 --> 00:53:40,676
But that's what they want from me...
375
00:53:46,641 --> 00:53:50,811
These undercover fascists from the NKVD.
376
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,399
The investigation block
377
00:53:56,275 --> 00:54:01,906
is now a vast torture chamber,
378
00:54:03,950 --> 00:54:07,662
where thousands of innocent people
379
00:54:08,371 --> 00:54:10,623
undergo...
380
00:54:12,708 --> 00:54:14,252
such beatings.
381
00:54:14,961 --> 00:54:18,130
Tortured, starved, deprived of sleep,
382
00:54:18,839 --> 00:54:22,677
all for the purpose of making them
383
00:54:25,137 --> 00:54:27,431
sign false confessions
384
00:54:29,308 --> 00:54:30,434
against themselves
385
00:54:31,102 --> 00:54:32,270
and others.
386
00:54:33,604 --> 00:54:38,276
Honest people are accused of crimes
they wouldn't dream of committing.
387
00:54:38,818 --> 00:54:44,115
The same story in the courts,
which are also controlled by the NKVD.
388
00:54:45,866 --> 00:54:48,703
They deal especially harshly
389
00:54:49,537 --> 00:54:52,123
with old Party members.
390
00:54:53,332 --> 00:54:59,422
In this district, they have exterminated
almost the entire Party leadership.
391
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,591
It seems that,
392
00:55:03,718 --> 00:55:09,015
out of all the members
of the district committee,
393
00:55:10,850 --> 00:55:12,977
I'm the last survivor...
394
00:55:14,687 --> 00:55:21,319
because I was more obstinate
than the old Party members,
395
00:55:21,485 --> 00:55:24,989
and refused to sign anything.
396
00:55:27,366 --> 00:55:30,119
They wanted me to sign a confession
397
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,040
that when I was with the partisans
fighting in Ukraine,
398
00:55:34,206 --> 00:55:36,542
I was a secret agent of Petliura.
399
00:55:42,006 --> 00:55:45,051
The fascists here
400
00:55:45,217 --> 00:55:49,472
have to make their victims
confess to imaginary crimes
401
00:55:50,723 --> 00:55:53,809
before they can shoot them.
402
00:55:55,603 --> 00:55:59,231
They need innocent people
to incriminate themselves,
403
00:56:00,858 --> 00:56:05,529
in order to justify their actions
404
00:56:05,696 --> 00:56:09,450
to the higher authorities.
405
00:56:11,702 --> 00:56:15,247
"See how vigilant we are,
406
00:56:15,414 --> 00:56:20,086
how keenly we root out subversion
in our own house."
407
00:56:23,005 --> 00:56:25,424
They fear being exposed,
408
00:56:26,425 --> 00:56:30,012
and try to do everything...
409
00:56:31,013 --> 00:56:32,390
as if by the law.
410
00:56:34,517 --> 00:56:39,730
Of course, the executioners
from the district authority
411
00:56:40,398 --> 00:56:46,737
can easily beat
an obstinate detainee to death,
412
00:56:48,823 --> 00:56:52,535
but it is an undesirable measure.
413
00:56:53,911 --> 00:56:56,539
So they preserve...
414
00:56:58,207 --> 00:57:02,128
people like me.
415
00:57:04,338 --> 00:57:07,883
They hope that a man
416
00:57:10,010 --> 00:57:12,805
with smashed up internal organs
417
00:57:13,764 --> 00:57:16,142
won't last long.
418
00:57:18,519 --> 00:57:21,689
But my official cause of death
419
00:57:22,398 --> 00:57:24,400
will be "heart failure,"
420
00:57:25,443 --> 00:57:29,572
in this very prison.
421
00:57:35,661 --> 00:57:38,247
These enemies of the people...
422
00:57:39,373 --> 00:57:42,001
saboteurs from the NKVD,
423
00:57:43,878 --> 00:57:46,130
don't break tools,
424
00:57:46,297 --> 00:57:49,216
or burn down factories.
425
00:57:50,092 --> 00:57:54,388
Loyal old Party leaders
426
00:57:55,181 --> 00:57:57,057
are replaced by...
427
00:57:58,976 --> 00:58:01,270
young careerists
428
00:58:01,437 --> 00:58:02,980
and loudmouths.
429
00:58:03,647 --> 00:58:07,109
And honest, knowledgeable experts
430
00:58:07,776 --> 00:58:12,198
are substituted by ignorant charlatans.
431
00:58:14,283 --> 00:58:16,452
I'm not asking for myself,
432
00:58:16,952 --> 00:58:19,038
I've had it anyway.
433
00:58:20,414 --> 00:58:23,125
It grieves me to see
434
00:58:23,876 --> 00:58:25,878
our revolutionary project endangered.
435
00:58:32,468 --> 00:58:34,386
If you are a brave man,
436
00:58:35,054 --> 00:58:37,181
a real Bolshevik,
437
00:58:38,224 --> 00:58:41,894
an honest Soviet lawyer,
438
00:58:43,187 --> 00:58:47,024
then set off for Moscow today.
439
00:58:49,109 --> 00:58:51,779
Get a meeting with Stalin.
440
00:58:53,322 --> 00:58:54,740
If you can't get to him,
441
00:58:56,116 --> 00:58:59,453
approach a member of the Politburo...
442
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,790
Yezhov, Voroshilov,
443
00:59:04,041 --> 00:59:05,459
Molotov.
444
00:59:07,336 --> 00:59:11,090
Report to them that here,
445
00:59:13,592 --> 00:59:16,345
the cream of the Party
is being exterminated,
446
00:59:17,805 --> 00:59:23,477
hundreds of thousands
of honest Soviet people.
447
00:59:27,815 --> 00:59:29,984
And don't delay.
448
00:59:31,151 --> 00:59:34,655
You insisted on a meeting with me...
449
00:59:36,699 --> 00:59:40,244
so they won't leave you in peace.
450
00:59:40,953 --> 00:59:43,539
Before you know it...
451
00:59:44,623 --> 00:59:46,083
you yourself
452
00:59:47,251 --> 00:59:50,087
will end up in a hole like this one.
453
01:00:37,593 --> 01:00:38,761
Open up!
454
01:02:20,654 --> 01:02:21,864
He's left the block.
455
01:02:24,450 --> 01:02:26,201
He'll reach you shortly.
456
01:02:27,703 --> 01:02:28,954
Wait.
457
01:02:29,955 --> 01:02:31,206
Yes, yes.
458
01:02:33,250 --> 01:02:35,753
Really, this work
should be done before...
459
01:02:35,919 --> 01:02:37,254
not after.
460
01:02:43,844 --> 01:02:45,804
They're allowing idiots to graduate.
461
01:03:25,886 --> 01:03:27,888
After the campaign
462
01:03:28,055 --> 01:03:31,183
in 1916 at Kovel,
463
01:03:31,350 --> 01:03:32,810
my good sir!
464
01:03:35,729 --> 01:03:37,773
I lost me leg and me arm.
465
01:03:38,565 --> 01:03:44,655
At that time there weren't no benefits
for war invalids.
466
01:03:44,822 --> 01:03:46,615
Them benefits only came later...
467
01:03:47,825 --> 01:03:51,161
So I sees that I'll have to work
468
01:03:51,328 --> 01:03:53,455
with just me left hand.
469
01:03:54,540 --> 01:03:56,750
I thought I'd go home to me father.
470
01:03:56,917 --> 01:03:59,294
Father says,
"I've got nothing to feed you."
471
01:03:59,461 --> 01:04:00,796
Would you believe it?
472
01:04:00,963 --> 01:04:03,465
I scraped by for a year.
Then I made up my mind...
473
01:04:03,632 --> 01:04:04,925
and set off for Petersburg,
474
01:04:05,092 --> 01:04:07,803
to ask Lenin
475
01:04:07,970 --> 01:04:11,056
if there's any alms
for the proletarian poor,
476
01:04:11,223 --> 01:04:15,102
seeing as how, so to speak,
I shed me blood!
477
01:04:15,561 --> 01:04:17,104
Laid down me life!
478
01:04:17,271 --> 01:04:19,857
And did you get alms from Lenin?
479
01:04:20,023 --> 01:04:22,192
Hang on. Don't rush me.
480
01:04:22,359 --> 01:04:24,069
See this learned young man here,
481
01:04:24,236 --> 01:04:26,154
he needs everything in the right order.
482
01:04:26,321 --> 01:04:29,825
So, you know, one way and another,
483
01:04:29,992 --> 01:04:32,786
in carts and army supply wagons,
my good sir,
484
01:04:32,953 --> 01:04:35,747
I somehow got to Petersburg.
485
01:04:36,373 --> 01:04:39,251
Well, can you picture it?
486
01:04:39,418 --> 01:04:42,921
This lice-ridden soldier boy
487
01:04:43,088 --> 01:04:44,923
found himself in the capital city,
488
01:04:45,090 --> 01:04:48,010
which is like no other in the world!
489
01:04:48,552 --> 01:04:52,097
There's Nevsky Prospect.
490
01:04:52,639 --> 01:04:55,017
Goddamnit, there's Gorokhovaya Street...
491
01:04:56,059 --> 01:04:57,394
and Liteyny Prospect.
492
01:04:57,561 --> 01:04:59,897
A spire sticks up in the air,
493
01:05:00,063 --> 01:05:02,107
goddammit, bridges hang by themselves,
494
01:05:02,274 --> 01:05:03,984
without anything holding 'em up!
495
01:05:04,151 --> 01:05:06,778
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
496
01:05:06,945 --> 01:05:08,405
Don't drag it out, one-armed devil!
497
01:05:08,572 --> 01:05:10,032
Don't rush,
498
01:05:10,198 --> 01:05:12,159
you might have seen it all.
499
01:05:12,326 --> 01:05:15,454
But he's young, hasn't been anywhere yet.
500
01:05:15,621 --> 01:05:17,956
Probably never had a woman!
501
01:05:18,957 --> 01:05:19,957
Hey?
502
01:05:22,794 --> 01:05:25,172
I wanted to rent an apartment,
503
01:05:25,339 --> 01:05:27,925
but the price was brutal!
504
01:05:28,550 --> 01:05:31,136
While all my capital assets
505
01:05:31,303 --> 01:05:33,597
came to a few fivers.
506
01:05:34,097 --> 01:05:37,893
I found shelter in the Revel inn
507
01:05:38,060 --> 01:05:39,394
for a ruble a night.
508
01:05:39,561 --> 01:05:41,563
Dinner was cabbage soup.
509
01:05:41,730 --> 01:05:43,857
I sees that I won't survive for long.
510
01:05:44,024 --> 01:05:45,817
I asked where to turn to.
511
01:05:45,984 --> 01:05:48,278
People said, "Go to the Smolny...
512
01:05:48,445 --> 01:05:50,030
to Lenin himself,
513
01:05:50,197 --> 01:05:52,324
to the heart of Soviet power."
514
01:05:53,241 --> 01:05:56,036
That's where justice lives."
515
01:05:57,204 --> 01:05:59,915
What idiot gave you that advice?
516
01:06:00,082 --> 01:06:03,585
Shut up, you old weed!
Better keep listening.
517
01:06:03,752 --> 01:06:06,672
I got up ever so early,
scraped off me beard
518
01:06:06,838 --> 01:06:10,008
with me left hand,
because to pay a barber
519
01:06:10,175 --> 01:06:13,053
is to keep an account, so to speak.
520
01:06:13,679 --> 01:06:16,223
Put on me shabby uniform
521
01:06:16,390 --> 01:06:18,266
and me wooden leg
522
01:06:18,433 --> 01:06:20,143
and tap-tap-tap...
523
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:21,812
can you picture it?
524
01:06:21,979 --> 01:06:24,481
I set off to see Lenin
525
01:06:24,648 --> 01:06:25,857
in the Smolny.
526
01:06:26,483 --> 01:06:31,154
There's mirrors, vases, white ceilings,
527
01:06:31,321 --> 01:06:33,782
columns, precious marble things!
528
01:06:33,949 --> 01:06:35,742
People scurrying to and fro.
529
01:06:35,909 --> 01:06:37,577
Could hardly get past them.
530
01:06:37,744 --> 01:06:40,872
They say, "Go look for him."
531
01:06:41,039 --> 01:06:43,333
So I rushed about here and there.
532
01:06:43,959 --> 01:06:46,211
Everybody had seen Lenin,
533
01:06:46,378 --> 01:06:48,964
but nobody knew where he was.
534
01:06:49,631 --> 01:06:53,427
I tapped along on me wooden leg
to some reception room,
535
01:06:53,593 --> 01:06:56,430
tucked meself in a corner
so I wouldn't knock over
536
01:06:56,596 --> 01:07:00,183
any American or Indian
gilded porcelain vase,
537
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:01,727
and there I waits.
538
01:07:02,310 --> 01:07:04,021
I waits four hours,
539
01:07:04,646 --> 01:07:07,941
and finally an adjutant comes out,
540
01:07:08,108 --> 01:07:10,027
or some other clerk,
541
01:07:10,652 --> 01:07:11,695
and he says:
542
01:07:12,571 --> 01:07:15,407
"Lenin will come in now."
543
01:07:15,574 --> 01:07:20,245
And the room's already crammed
like beans on a plate.
544
01:07:20,412 --> 01:07:25,584
All with red ribbons
and smoking shag tobacco.
545
01:07:25,751 --> 01:07:29,379
Suddenly people go "Shh, shh, shh,"
546
01:07:30,922 --> 01:07:33,050
and then a terrible silence falls.
547
01:07:33,842 --> 01:07:34,842
Lenin comes in.
548
01:07:38,513 --> 01:07:39,639
Well...
549
01:07:40,432 --> 01:07:42,059
Can you imagine?
550
01:07:42,225 --> 01:07:43,769
A statesman.
551
01:07:44,352 --> 01:07:46,313
On his face, so to speak...
552
01:07:46,855 --> 01:07:48,648
and expression
553
01:07:48,815 --> 01:07:51,568
befitting his high rank.
554
01:07:52,069 --> 01:07:54,654
Everyone in that room
is hushed and trembling,
555
01:07:54,821 --> 01:07:59,409
waiting for their fate
to be decided, so to speak.
556
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,828
Lenin goes up to one...
557
01:08:02,329 --> 01:08:03,329
then another.
558
01:08:03,413 --> 01:08:07,209
"What are you here for?
And you? What is your business?"
559
01:08:07,876 --> 01:08:09,795
He comes up to me, I dares to say:
560
01:08:09,961 --> 01:08:14,174
"It's like this, Your Excellency,
leader of the proletarian revolution:
561
01:08:14,341 --> 01:08:18,178
I spilt me blood,
lost an arm and a leg, cannot work,
562
01:08:18,345 --> 01:08:21,056
I make so bold as to request royal alms."
563
01:08:22,015 --> 01:08:24,476
Lenin gives me a shrewd look...
564
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:26,770
sees that I've got a wooden leg
565
01:08:26,937 --> 01:08:29,106
and me right sleeve is empty.
566
01:08:29,898 --> 01:08:31,108
"Very well," he says.
567
01:08:31,274 --> 01:08:32,859
"Come back in a few days."
568
01:08:33,568 --> 01:08:35,946
"We are always happy to see
any proletarian,
569
01:08:36,321 --> 01:08:38,740
even one minus an arm and minus a leg."
570
01:08:38,907 --> 01:08:41,201
He never!
571
01:08:41,368 --> 01:08:42,828
That's just what he said!
572
01:08:42,994 --> 01:08:43,994
Yes...
573
01:08:44,037 --> 01:08:46,081
"Come back, dear fellow."
574
01:08:47,082 --> 01:08:52,129
I think, "That's it. The job's done."
575
01:08:55,423 --> 01:08:57,134
And what happened next?
576
01:08:57,634 --> 01:08:58,802
What d'you mean?
577
01:08:58,969 --> 01:09:00,720
After that, what happened?
578
01:09:01,888 --> 01:09:02,722
Nothing.
579
01:09:02,889 --> 01:09:05,308
What d'you mean, "nothing"?
580
01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:07,602
You seem to have lived long enough
581
01:09:08,103 --> 01:09:10,105
to lose all yer teeth,
582
01:09:10,981 --> 01:09:13,066
but you don't understand a thing.
583
01:09:13,233 --> 01:09:14,609
But what about Lenin?
584
01:09:16,194 --> 01:09:18,613
That was the last I saw of Lenin!
585
01:09:18,780 --> 01:09:20,991
I came one day, then another.
586
01:09:21,158 --> 01:09:22,367
It was a bitter pill...
587
01:09:22,534 --> 01:09:24,786
"Tomorrow, tomorrow. Come back tomorrow."
588
01:09:24,953 --> 01:09:26,079
I got fed up.
589
01:09:26,246 --> 01:09:30,792
I kicked up a fuss! Tore into them!
Chewed them out!
590
01:09:31,626 --> 01:09:35,589
Then, out of the tobacco smoke,
a constable appeared before me!
591
01:09:35,755 --> 01:09:38,884
He must've been seven feet tall,
592
01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:41,803
with enormous fists,
593
01:09:42,387 --> 01:09:44,681
built like a coachman,
594
01:09:44,848 --> 01:09:46,600
a veritable dentist...
595
01:09:46,766 --> 01:09:48,852
They caught hold of me, a poor sinner,
596
01:09:49,019 --> 01:09:51,563
put me on a cart,
and send me off to prison.
597
01:09:51,730 --> 01:09:55,984
I lived at the state's expense,
got what they gave me.
598
01:09:56,568 --> 01:09:58,403
Then they let me out.
By then, Lenin had died.
599
01:09:59,154 --> 01:10:01,406
Now I'm off to see Stalin.
600
01:10:01,573 --> 01:10:03,825
They say he's got a heart of gold.
601
01:10:07,245 --> 01:10:09,039
It ain't for meself
602
01:10:09,581 --> 01:10:12,667
that I shed me blood, sacrificed me life.
603
01:10:14,586 --> 01:10:15,712
So I want to ask you,
604
01:10:16,838 --> 01:10:18,506
a learned man,
605
01:10:19,883 --> 01:10:21,801
d'you think he'll give me alms?
606
01:14:50,945 --> 01:14:53,281
Are you looking for someone, young man?
607
01:14:54,115 --> 01:14:55,115
Yes.
608
01:14:55,575 --> 01:14:56,575
Who?
609
01:14:58,203 --> 01:15:00,830
The Prosecutor General.
I have business with him.
610
01:15:02,582 --> 01:15:06,336
If you have business with him,
you should know where to find him.
611
01:15:29,359 --> 01:15:30,360
Yes?
612
01:15:33,863 --> 01:15:34,906
Sorry?
613
01:15:35,073 --> 01:15:37,575
The way out. Where's the way out?
614
01:15:39,744 --> 01:15:42,247
Down the stairs and turn left.
615
01:15:45,959 --> 01:15:47,293
Are you feeling all right?
616
01:15:47,460 --> 01:15:48,460
Yes.
617
01:16:16,656 --> 01:16:19,450
Fancy seeing you here, old chap!
618
01:16:19,993 --> 01:16:21,119
Well, congrats!
619
01:16:21,786 --> 01:16:22,829
Congrats!
620
01:16:23,580 --> 01:16:28,293
I always had faith in you.
I always knew that you'd go far!
621
01:16:28,459 --> 01:16:31,087
What a great chap you are!
And how grown up you are.
622
01:16:31,254 --> 01:16:33,423
In all respects, I gather?
623
01:16:34,257 --> 01:16:35,842
Do we really know each other?
624
01:16:36,009 --> 01:16:38,886
This is Comrade Mrazovich.
625
01:16:39,053 --> 01:16:42,849
This is a former classmate of mine,
a high flyer, you could say...
626
01:16:43,641 --> 01:16:44,892
Mrazovich.
627
01:16:45,059 --> 01:16:46,477
- Kornyev.
- Kornyev!
628
01:16:46,644 --> 01:16:50,064
That's what I said, Kornyev.
This is Kornyev. He's a real artist.
629
01:16:50,231 --> 01:16:52,400
- Come by and see me.
- Yes, yes.
630
01:16:53,610 --> 01:16:56,738
A big fish.
If you need something, he's the one.
631
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,907
When were you transferred?
What department are you in?
632
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:02,200
I've co...
633
01:17:02,243 --> 01:17:04,454
Of course, I didn't think
you'd come to see me.
634
01:17:04,621 --> 01:17:06,914
What's the case, if it's no secret?
635
01:17:07,999 --> 01:17:08,833
Sorry,
636
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,793
have we really met before?
637
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,129
Kornyev, stop playing the fool.
638
01:17:14,547 --> 01:17:16,549
Come see me afterwards.
639
01:17:16,716 --> 01:17:19,636
Room 312. No need to knock.
640
01:17:20,136 --> 01:17:21,220
All right.
641
01:17:53,461 --> 01:17:54,796
How can I help?
642
01:17:55,672 --> 01:17:58,132
Good day.
I've come to see the Prosecutor General.
643
01:18:33,084 --> 01:18:34,711
Have you received an appointment?
644
01:18:34,877 --> 01:18:35,877
No.
645
01:18:39,340 --> 01:18:42,176
Comrade Kornyev,
646
01:18:42,343 --> 01:18:45,263
the Prosecutor General only meets people
647
01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:48,433
at the invitation
of the Chief Prosecutor's office
648
01:18:48,599 --> 01:18:49,976
so I'm afraid I can't help you.
649
01:18:53,229 --> 01:18:57,775
I have come a very long way
on extremely important state business.
650
01:19:01,112 --> 01:19:03,781
Everyone's here on important business.
651
01:19:06,993 --> 01:19:09,245
Have you got a travel warrant?
652
01:19:12,331 --> 01:19:13,331
No.
653
01:19:13,791 --> 01:19:14,834
But...
654
01:19:16,043 --> 01:19:17,628
it's a very important matter.
655
01:19:20,298 --> 01:19:22,341
If that's the case, then why didn't...
656
01:19:22,508 --> 01:19:25,470
the office where Comrade Kornyev works
657
01:19:25,636 --> 01:19:29,640
make an appointment for him
well in advance?
658
01:19:29,807 --> 01:19:33,519
Why doesn't Comrade Kornyev
at least possess a travel warrant,
659
01:19:33,686 --> 01:19:37,440
confirming that he has some business
with the Chief Prosecutor's office?
660
01:19:38,191 --> 01:19:41,444
I can't even include your name
on the "doubtfuls" list,
661
01:19:41,611 --> 01:19:46,032
on which the Prosecutor General
himself will make a decision.
662
01:19:52,205 --> 01:19:53,664
Here. I'm a party member.
663
01:19:54,457 --> 01:19:57,960
I came to inform the Prosecutor General
664
01:19:58,127 --> 01:20:01,047
of a vital and urgent matter,
665
01:20:01,214 --> 01:20:03,508
and I need to see him privately,
face to face.
666
01:20:03,674 --> 01:20:06,135
It can't be done on paper, as you propose.
667
01:20:07,094 --> 01:20:09,555
It's in your interests
to take this seriously.
668
01:20:28,449 --> 01:20:30,243
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
669
01:20:52,098 --> 01:20:53,182
Please.
670
01:21:00,940 --> 01:21:02,400
- Go through.
- Thank you.
671
01:21:19,250 --> 01:21:22,879
Fine. I'll report your presence
to the Prosecutor General
672
01:21:23,045 --> 01:21:25,006
and will inform you of his decision.
673
01:21:26,007 --> 01:21:28,217
Wait in the reception room. Please.
674
01:21:28,968 --> 01:21:29,968
Thank you.
675
01:22:00,625 --> 01:22:02,418
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
676
01:22:26,859 --> 01:22:28,444
Comrade Zavtrakin!
677
01:22:36,327 --> 01:22:37,328
Please.
678
01:24:00,870 --> 01:24:02,204
Please go in.
679
01:25:11,190 --> 01:25:13,150
- Thank you, goodbye.
- Goodbye.
680
01:25:25,162 --> 01:25:26,372
Comrade Smirnov!
681
01:26:00,990 --> 01:26:02,449
You are lucky.
682
01:26:02,616 --> 01:26:05,494
The Comrade Prosecutor General,
contrary to expectations,
683
01:26:05,661 --> 01:26:06,787
has agreed to see you.
684
01:26:13,586 --> 01:26:15,880
But you would do well to remember
685
01:26:16,422 --> 01:26:19,884
that you have come to see one of
the busiest people in the government.
686
01:26:20,050 --> 01:26:22,386
Therefore be extremely brief,
687
01:26:22,553 --> 01:26:26,765
don't waste the Comrade's precious time.
688
01:26:26,932 --> 01:26:28,851
Two or three minutes at the most.
689
01:27:12,686 --> 01:27:13,812
I'm listening.
690
01:27:15,147 --> 01:27:19,235
My name is Kornyev.
I am the inspecting prosecutor...
691
01:27:19,401 --> 01:27:21,612
of the local prisons in Bryansk,
692
01:27:22,488 --> 01:27:23,989
where I have discovered
693
01:27:24,990 --> 01:27:28,035
an infringement of socialist law
694
01:27:29,036 --> 01:27:30,996
by the local NKVD,
695
01:27:31,664 --> 01:27:35,334
regarding their conduct of cases
of counter-revolutionary crimes.
696
01:27:35,501 --> 01:27:39,046
The rules have been broken
regarding the detention of suspects.
697
01:27:43,467 --> 01:27:44,677
I see. Continue.
698
01:27:48,430 --> 01:27:51,517
I know for a fact
that a detainee was repeatedly beaten
699
01:27:52,184 --> 01:27:53,644
while under interrogation
700
01:27:54,311 --> 01:27:57,982
by the local branch of the NKVD.
701
01:27:59,608 --> 01:28:01,527
I believe that...
702
01:28:01,694 --> 01:28:03,153
such beatings,
703
01:28:03,862 --> 01:28:06,740
and other illegal methods
of investigation...
704
01:28:07,658 --> 01:28:10,452
are used systematically.
705
01:28:12,204 --> 01:28:14,873
The fact that political prisoners
706
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,460
are deprived of the possibility
of addressing complaints
707
01:28:18,627 --> 01:28:22,464
to the appropriate authorities,
provides further evidence.
708
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,156
This may be the only such statement
from the political wing of the prison
709
01:28:47,323 --> 01:28:51,368
that ever reached
the office of the district prosecutor.
710
01:29:11,847 --> 01:29:14,391
The material on which it is written,
and the "ink"
711
01:29:14,558 --> 01:29:16,477
the prisoner used...
all this speaks volumes.
712
01:29:18,145 --> 01:29:21,023
BRYANSK
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
713
01:29:33,410 --> 01:29:38,123
Why inform me of these infringements
instead of your district prosecutor?
714
01:29:43,420 --> 01:29:47,549
Because I have no confidence
that the local prosecutor's office
715
01:29:47,716 --> 01:29:49,968
will intervene with the local NKVD.
716
01:29:52,429 --> 01:29:54,598
Moreover, I fear that...
717
01:29:54,765 --> 01:29:58,977
the local prosecutor's office would
not want, and indeed would not be able,
718
01:29:59,144 --> 01:30:02,106
to protect any of its own staff
who did intervene.
719
01:30:02,898 --> 01:30:04,900
When the NKVD makes a wrongful arrest,
720
01:30:05,067 --> 01:30:07,778
obtaining a warrant
from the prosecutor's office
721
01:30:07,945 --> 01:30:09,530
has long been an empty formality.
722
01:30:11,073 --> 01:30:16,620
So turning to my superior
would not only be pointless,
723
01:30:16,787 --> 01:30:17,787
but it would be...
724
01:30:18,163 --> 01:30:19,581
almost suicidal.
725
01:30:21,375 --> 01:30:25,254
And I decided to approach you,
not as a professional,
726
01:30:25,421 --> 01:30:28,674
but as an honest Soviet citizen,
and a Party member.
727
01:30:34,388 --> 01:30:36,140
What is the aim,
728
01:30:36,723 --> 01:30:39,184
in your opinion,
729
01:30:39,351 --> 01:30:41,854
of these violations
730
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:44,690
which you suspect are going on
in your district?
731
01:30:45,441 --> 01:30:46,483
Comrade Vyshinsky,
732
01:30:49,027 --> 01:30:51,905
I'm sure that a group
of counter-revolutionaries,
733
01:30:52,072 --> 01:30:53,907
posing as Stalinist Chekists,
734
01:30:54,074 --> 01:30:56,285
are active
in our district branch of the NKVD.
735
01:30:58,245 --> 01:31:01,582
They are using their position
to exterminate the best local people,
736
01:31:01,748 --> 01:31:03,959
accusing them of made-up crimes.
737
01:31:04,918 --> 01:31:09,214
They do this to undermine
the district administration
738
01:31:09,381 --> 01:31:11,967
and to discredit Soviet law
in the eyes of the masses.
739
01:31:12,718 --> 01:31:15,179
The leading workers of our area
740
01:31:15,345 --> 01:31:18,390
are confused and frightened
by these NKVD criminals.
741
01:31:18,557 --> 01:31:21,393
This especially concerns the courts
and the prosecutor's office.
742
01:31:23,020 --> 01:31:24,813
It's even possible
743
01:31:25,230 --> 01:31:28,317
that some of them,
maybe against their will,
744
01:31:28,484 --> 01:31:31,069
are working under
direct orders from the NKVD.
745
01:31:31,236 --> 01:31:32,446
This is highly likely,
746
01:31:32,613 --> 01:31:36,533
since everyone able to identify
the covert hostility of the NKVD
747
01:31:36,700 --> 01:31:39,286
has been arrested or exterminated.
748
01:31:40,746 --> 01:31:44,541
Devoted Party workers are replaced
with new incompetent people
749
01:31:44,708 --> 01:31:47,377
who carry out the orders
of those loyal to the NKVD.
750
01:31:47,878 --> 01:31:51,673
If any of them
guesses there's something fishy,
751
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:55,177
they pretend not to notice.
"Don't touch us and we won't touch you."
752
01:31:55,344 --> 01:31:57,513
That's how the system works,
Comrade Vyshinsky.
753
01:31:58,931 --> 01:32:02,309
Maybe there are some time-servers
whose silence has been bought
754
01:32:02,935 --> 01:32:06,939
by their unexpected promotion,
usually beyond their abilities.
755
01:32:07,105 --> 01:32:09,274
I could follow their example,
Comrade Vyshinsky.
756
01:32:10,359 --> 01:32:12,736
But my conscience as a Soviet citizen,
757
01:32:12,903 --> 01:32:15,572
a Party member
and a member of the Soviet judiciary
758
01:32:15,739 --> 01:32:17,032
stops me from doing this.
759
01:32:18,659 --> 01:32:21,328
I cannot calmly watch these crimes
being committed
760
01:32:21,495 --> 01:32:23,163
continually and on a mass scale.
761
01:32:24,456 --> 01:32:28,252
The highest prosecuting authorities
must put a stop to them.
762
01:32:29,169 --> 01:32:33,507
I think this highly destructive process
must be halted immediately.
763
01:32:39,846 --> 01:32:45,143
You want the Chief Prosecutor's office
to begin an urgent investigation
764
01:32:46,103 --> 01:32:51,024
into the supposed counter-revolutionary
acts of the NKVD in your district?
765
01:32:51,191 --> 01:32:52,859
Have I understood you correctly?
766
01:32:58,615 --> 01:33:00,576
Absolutely correctly, Comrade Vyshinsky!
767
01:33:05,664 --> 01:33:07,624
In principle, this would be possible,
768
01:33:07,791 --> 01:33:11,837
if it was a matter of
a normal government department.
769
01:33:12,671 --> 01:33:16,592
But the NKVD, at this moment,
770
01:33:16,758 --> 01:33:20,596
enjoys almost complete autonomy.
771
01:33:21,638 --> 01:33:26,602
Even the Chief Prosecutor's office
cannot raise a case against...
772
01:33:26,768 --> 01:33:31,023
even an individual NKVD employee,
773
01:33:31,189 --> 01:33:33,734
without the consent
of the NKVD leadership.
774
01:33:36,903 --> 01:33:40,490
If there were strong documentary proof
775
01:33:40,657 --> 01:33:44,453
of law-breaking in the NKVD,
776
01:33:45,203 --> 01:33:48,206
then their leaders would doubtless agree
777
01:33:48,373 --> 01:33:53,128
to allow a case against those wrongdoers.
778
01:33:54,588 --> 01:33:55,589
Comrade...
779
01:33:56,548 --> 01:33:57,549
Kornyev?
780
01:33:58,592 --> 01:34:00,886
said that he himself
781
01:34:01,053 --> 01:34:04,139
saw torture marks
on the body of a particular prisoner.
782
01:34:05,349 --> 01:34:08,226
Can you back up your observation
783
01:34:08,393 --> 01:34:10,854
with medical evidence?
784
01:34:13,649 --> 01:34:18,445
It's the same prisoner who wrote
to our local office in his own blood.
785
01:34:20,072 --> 01:34:21,490
He's an old Bolshevik,
786
01:34:21,657 --> 01:34:23,784
he was a leading Party worker.
787
01:34:25,494 --> 01:34:28,080
I'd like to explain
to the Comrade Prosecutor.
788
01:34:29,331 --> 01:34:33,085
I could only get access to the prisoner
789
01:34:33,251 --> 01:34:36,296
after insisting that
the warden allow a meeting.
790
01:34:37,089 --> 01:34:38,799
And this warden would find excuses
791
01:34:39,424 --> 01:34:43,220
to delay the appointment
of a medical commission,
792
01:34:43,387 --> 01:34:45,889
until he had time
to put me in prison too.
793
01:34:47,265 --> 01:34:50,310
I am sure that he and his senior staff
794
01:34:50,477 --> 01:34:53,939
are in collusion
with the local NKVD directorate.
795
01:34:55,732 --> 01:35:01,571
So I decided to rely on the Prosecutor
General's personal trust in my report.
796
01:35:05,033 --> 01:35:07,202
And frankly speaking,
797
01:35:07,369 --> 01:35:11,790
I didn't know that even a
secret investigation of a NKVD employee
798
01:35:11,957 --> 01:35:13,959
requires documentary evidence.
799
01:35:14,710 --> 01:35:15,710
Oh, yes,
800
01:35:18,422 --> 01:35:20,716
for a lawyer, it is imprudent.
801
01:35:22,509 --> 01:35:24,302
But the situation can be remedied.
802
01:35:25,053 --> 01:35:26,388
Go back
803
01:35:26,555 --> 01:35:30,016
and send us medical evidence
about the prisoner who was subjected,
804
01:35:30,183 --> 01:35:33,979
as you assert,
to illegal methods of interrogation.
805
01:35:34,146 --> 01:35:38,650
I promise that an investigation
of this case
806
01:35:39,151 --> 01:35:40,485
will start immediately.
807
01:35:46,283 --> 01:35:47,283
But...
808
01:35:49,619 --> 01:35:51,580
if I go back empty-handed,
809
01:35:51,747 --> 01:35:55,542
I will immediately be sacked
810
01:35:55,709 --> 01:35:56,918
and arrested.
811
01:35:58,545 --> 01:36:00,839
I'm sure the counter-revolutionaries
812
01:36:01,006 --> 01:36:04,509
won't let anyone who knows
about their crimes go free.
813
01:36:25,572 --> 01:36:29,201
Provide Comrade Kornyev
with confirmation that he met me.
814
01:36:29,826 --> 01:36:33,622
Address it to his District Prosecutor.
815
01:36:34,623 --> 01:36:37,876
That will allow you
to conduct your investigations
816
01:36:38,043 --> 01:36:40,629
without risk to your own safety.
817
01:36:43,298 --> 01:36:45,884
And provide Comrade Kornyev
818
01:36:46,051 --> 01:36:49,346
with a ticket for his return journey
from our reserved allocation.
819
01:36:51,306 --> 01:36:55,936
Put down a short but detailed precis
of what was said in our meeting.
820
01:36:56,102 --> 01:37:00,023
Send it with the medical certificate.
821
01:37:01,066 --> 01:37:02,567
And enclose this as well.
822
01:37:03,193 --> 01:37:07,614
It will serve as auxiliary evidence.
823
01:37:42,190 --> 01:37:43,567
How did it go?
824
01:37:43,733 --> 01:37:44,733
Not now.
825
01:38:17,601 --> 01:38:18,643
Get in.
826
01:38:51,343 --> 01:38:52,677
You're in here.
827
01:38:57,724 --> 01:38:59,559
- Good evening.
- Hello.
828
01:39:01,811 --> 01:39:03,271
Which seat are you in?
829
01:39:05,482 --> 01:39:06,900
Number 5.
830
01:39:07,943 --> 01:39:09,235
Let's make space.
831
01:39:10,278 --> 01:39:12,197
Please sit down.
832
01:39:12,364 --> 01:39:14,658
- You can leave that here.
- No.
833
01:39:16,034 --> 01:39:17,744
I'll put this here...
834
01:39:19,454 --> 01:39:21,247
And this will go there.
835
01:39:24,751 --> 01:39:25,751
And this...
836
01:39:52,821 --> 01:39:54,030
Ah, we're off!
837
01:40:03,915 --> 01:40:04,916
From Moscow?
838
01:40:05,500 --> 01:40:06,500
Me? No.
839
01:40:06,626 --> 01:40:09,212
- Where are you from?
- Bryansk.
840
01:40:09,379 --> 01:40:10,379
A student, are you?
841
01:40:11,339 --> 01:40:13,133
I was. I've got a job now.
842
01:40:14,801 --> 01:40:15,801
What do you do?
843
01:40:16,594 --> 01:40:17,429
I'm a lawyer,
844
01:40:17,595 --> 01:40:19,431
member of the defense
lawyers' association.
845
01:40:19,597 --> 01:40:21,433
Now I'm an inspecting prosecutor.
846
01:40:22,517 --> 01:40:23,560
What does that mean?
847
01:40:27,981 --> 01:40:29,816
I deal with citizens' complaints.
848
01:40:30,817 --> 01:40:33,987
I make sure everything's done legally.
849
01:40:34,696 --> 01:40:35,822
Well, well.
850
01:40:40,994 --> 01:40:42,912
That's a fine profession, Comrade.
851
01:40:48,168 --> 01:40:49,252
An essential one.
852
01:40:51,504 --> 01:40:52,547
Why were you in Moscow?
853
01:40:53,923 --> 01:40:54,966
You got a girl there?
854
01:40:55,633 --> 01:40:56,633
Not at all.
855
01:40:57,302 --> 01:40:59,387
So why were you there,
if it's not a secret?
856
01:41:00,764 --> 01:41:02,640
Business at the prosecutor's office.
857
01:41:04,517 --> 01:41:06,519
In Moscow? Don't you have one in Bryansk?
858
01:41:08,605 --> 01:41:11,441
I went to meet the Prosecutor General.
859
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:13,777
Vyshinsky?
860
01:41:16,446 --> 01:41:17,446
Yes.
861
01:41:18,406 --> 01:41:21,326
Look, Petya. So young and already
meeting the Prosecutor General!
862
01:41:24,913 --> 01:41:27,916
Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves:
Petya.
863
01:41:28,083 --> 01:41:29,626
Alexander. A pleasure to meet you.
864
01:41:29,793 --> 01:41:31,377
- This is Vasya.
- Vasily.
865
01:41:31,544 --> 01:41:32,545
A pleasure to meet you.
866
01:41:38,176 --> 01:41:39,886
Just a minute.
867
01:41:44,390 --> 01:41:45,934
Bring us some glasses.
868
01:41:46,935 --> 01:41:48,728
Oh, not for me.
869
01:41:48,895 --> 01:41:49,646
Not for you?
870
01:41:49,813 --> 01:41:52,982
It'd be a sin
not to drink a toast to Soviet law.
871
01:42:14,295 --> 01:42:15,463
Thank you.
872
01:42:19,217 --> 01:42:20,468
Is there a guitar around?
873
01:42:21,219 --> 01:42:22,219
I can bring sugar.
874
01:42:24,722 --> 01:42:26,057
What a joker!
875
01:42:32,397 --> 01:42:33,397
Now,
876
01:42:36,818 --> 01:42:38,194
a toast to "good order"!
877
01:42:39,654 --> 01:42:40,655
To good order!
878
01:42:48,621 --> 01:42:51,207
- Sasha, have some snacks!
- Thank you.
879
01:42:59,924 --> 01:43:01,176
And what do you do?
880
01:43:04,762 --> 01:43:06,222
We're liquidators.
881
01:43:15,231 --> 01:43:18,401
We're engineers.
From the Planning Institute in Moscow.
882
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,404
We plan factories, industrial plants,
883
01:43:22,155 --> 01:43:23,656
the future, in a word.
884
01:43:24,365 --> 01:43:25,365
You're architects.
885
01:43:25,408 --> 01:43:28,119
Yes, we can do that too.
886
01:43:28,953 --> 01:43:32,207
We're reconstructing a factory
in Bryansk, a complex project.
887
01:43:32,373 --> 01:43:33,583
Machine tooling?
888
01:43:33,750 --> 01:43:36,502
- It's the Red Profintern.
- But the technology's imported.
889
01:43:36,669 --> 01:43:40,215
There are all sorts of hitches,
misunderstandings.
890
01:43:40,381 --> 01:43:42,717
A month ago they installed a line...
891
01:43:43,468 --> 01:43:47,388
Something went wrong just before
it was supposed to start production.
892
01:43:47,555 --> 01:43:49,432
So we're off to sort it out.
893
01:43:51,267 --> 01:43:54,312
Maybe human error, maybe sabotage.
894
01:43:56,606 --> 01:43:58,399
Well, you'd know better than us.
895
01:43:59,025 --> 01:44:02,445
Yes, sometimes you don't know
if it's a mistake or sabotage.
896
01:44:02,612 --> 01:44:04,572
Looks like a normal engineer.
897
01:44:04,739 --> 01:44:06,616
Wife, kids, job.
898
01:44:06,783 --> 01:44:10,036
Looks like everything's fine.
Then it turns out he's a saboteur.
899
01:44:10,203 --> 01:44:13,039
You could scarcely believe it,
but they themselves confess.
900
01:44:14,999 --> 01:44:16,501
- It's very scary.
- Yes.
901
01:44:21,381 --> 01:44:23,466
You know yourself,
the times we're living in.
902
01:44:30,682 --> 01:44:32,642
You must... have to deal with enemies.
903
01:44:32,809 --> 01:44:34,852
But how to know
if they're an enemy or not?
904
01:44:37,730 --> 01:44:40,024
There are procedures.
905
01:44:40,650 --> 01:44:44,404
If a crime has been committed,
an investigation is held.
906
01:44:45,363 --> 01:44:47,448
That's after the event.
907
01:44:47,615 --> 01:44:49,033
But if no crime has happened yet,
908
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,369
but the enemy is already present,
what then?
909
01:44:53,663 --> 01:44:57,834
Then, according to Roman law,
there's a presumption of innocence.
910
01:44:59,919 --> 01:45:01,421
Then there's sabotage. Then what?
911
01:45:06,509 --> 01:45:10,263
You can't sentence a person
before a crime has been committed.
912
01:45:11,222 --> 01:45:13,766
So what do you do?
Wait till a crime's committed?
913
01:45:18,438 --> 01:45:19,814
I understand your question...
914
01:45:20,481 --> 01:45:21,566
Comrade Prosecutor,
915
01:45:21,733 --> 01:45:22,733
Sasha,
916
01:45:23,860 --> 01:45:25,778
we must be vigilant,
917
01:45:25,945 --> 01:45:29,032
we mustn't drop
918
01:45:29,198 --> 01:45:31,451
the punishing sword of Soviet law.
919
01:45:31,617 --> 01:45:32,910
But we don't punish, we...
920
01:45:34,495 --> 01:45:35,330
investigate.
921
01:45:35,496 --> 01:45:37,540
And if there are grounds,
the courts punish.
922
01:45:38,499 --> 01:45:41,794
- So that's it, "we investigate".
- Very fair.
923
01:45:42,420 --> 01:45:43,588
To vigilance!
924
01:45:52,597 --> 01:45:53,597
Come on, eat up!
925
01:45:54,098 --> 01:45:55,098
Thank you.
926
01:45:55,475 --> 01:45:56,893
Somebody wanted a guitar?
927
01:45:57,602 --> 01:46:00,730
Thank you, dear host.
Now this is something else!
928
01:46:01,481 --> 01:46:02,648
But I need...
929
01:46:05,485 --> 01:46:06,778
- Here.
- Thank you.
930
01:46:08,237 --> 01:46:09,322
Let's go.
931
01:46:14,619 --> 01:46:15,745
Our song.
932
01:46:19,916 --> 01:46:23,878
The morning greets us with coolness
933
01:46:24,045 --> 01:46:27,590
The river greets us with a breeze
934
01:46:27,757 --> 01:46:30,927
Curly-head, why aren't you pleased
935
01:46:31,094 --> 01:46:34,180
With the merry song
of the factory siren?
936
01:46:34,347 --> 01:46:37,642
Don't sleep, wake up, Curly-head!
937
01:46:37,809 --> 01:46:41,062
They're hammering in the workshops
938
01:46:41,229 --> 01:46:44,524
The country rises in glory
939
01:46:44,690 --> 01:46:47,402
To greet the new day
940
01:46:54,659 --> 01:46:57,829
The brigade will meet us with tasks
941
01:46:57,995 --> 01:47:01,207
And you will smile at your pals
942
01:47:01,374 --> 01:47:04,335
With whom you share care and labor
943
01:47:04,502 --> 01:47:07,922
And life and the expanded production plan
944
01:47:08,089 --> 01:47:11,300
Beyond the Narva outpost
945
01:47:11,467 --> 01:47:14,512
In thunder and in fire
946
01:47:14,679 --> 01:47:17,807
The country rises in glory
947
01:47:17,974 --> 01:47:20,935
To greet the new day
948
01:47:25,481 --> 01:47:27,984
To greet the new day
949
01:47:29,110 --> 01:47:30,611
Bam!
950
01:47:36,576 --> 01:47:40,538
And to the land of triumph
951
01:47:40,705 --> 01:47:43,499
Our youth will go
952
01:47:43,666 --> 01:47:46,627
Until a second youthful band
953
01:47:46,794 --> 01:47:49,881
Comes to meet you
954
01:47:50,465 --> 01:47:53,843
And will crowd into life
955
01:47:54,010 --> 01:47:56,804
To take their fathers' places
956
01:47:56,971 --> 01:48:00,224
The country rises in glory
957
01:48:00,391 --> 01:48:03,269
To greet the new day
958
01:48:07,398 --> 01:48:10,276
To greet the new day
959
01:48:11,527 --> 01:48:14,864
With these splendid words
960
01:48:15,823 --> 01:48:18,951
Announce your truth
961
01:48:19,118 --> 01:48:22,371
We go out to meet life
962
01:48:22,538 --> 01:48:26,083
To encounter labor and love!
963
01:48:26,250 --> 01:48:29,712
Is it a sin to love, Curly-head?
964
01:48:29,879 --> 01:48:32,673
When with sounds of ringing
965
01:48:33,549 --> 01:48:36,511
The country rises in glory
966
01:48:36,677 --> 01:48:38,971
To greet the new day
967
01:48:39,138 --> 01:48:40,138
Repeat!
968
01:48:40,264 --> 01:48:43,351
The country rises in glory
969
01:48:43,518 --> 01:48:46,187
To greet the new day
970
01:49:38,489 --> 01:49:41,492
Wake up, Comrade lawyer!
We'll be there in half an hour.
971
01:49:50,167 --> 01:49:51,377
- Comrade Ivanov?
- Yes.
972
01:49:51,544 --> 01:49:52,878
Hello Comrade Ivanov.
973
01:49:53,379 --> 01:49:54,380
Comrade Petrov?
974
01:49:54,547 --> 01:49:56,632
- Are you from the management?
- Exactly.
975
01:49:57,216 --> 01:49:58,467
- Comrade...
- Is he with you?
976
01:49:58,634 --> 01:49:59,634
Comrade Kornyev.
977
01:49:59,677 --> 01:50:00,677
Good day.
978
01:50:02,597 --> 01:50:03,598
You're going by car?
979
01:50:04,140 --> 01:50:06,183
Comrade, could you give me a lift?
980
01:50:06,350 --> 01:50:07,435
Shall we take him, Vasya?
981
01:50:08,603 --> 01:50:09,603
Let's go.
982
01:50:09,937 --> 01:50:10,937
Thank you.
983
01:51:09,413 --> 01:51:11,499
You've got girls
in this town of yours, right?
984
01:51:13,793 --> 01:51:16,128
- Obviously.
- Good-looking ones?
985
01:51:19,048 --> 01:51:20,925
Yes, some good-looking ones, too.
986
01:51:27,848 --> 01:51:29,475
Do they give it away easily?
987
01:51:33,020 --> 01:51:34,020
Give what away?
988
01:51:38,109 --> 01:51:40,945
What do you mean "give what away?"
Are you a blushing bride?
989
01:51:51,539 --> 01:51:52,540
I'm unmarried.
990
01:51:53,499 --> 01:51:54,625
Oh-ho, I see.
991
01:51:57,002 --> 01:52:00,715
- And you've never tried it? Not even once?
- What are you talking about?
992
01:52:00,881 --> 01:52:02,883
No need to be shy.
You're among friends here.
993
01:52:03,050 --> 01:52:04,552
He won't tell anyone.
994
01:52:05,594 --> 01:52:06,594
Come on, spit it out.
995
01:52:08,514 --> 01:52:09,598
Are you still a virgin?
996
01:52:19,233 --> 01:52:20,818
Wait, we've taken a wrong turn.
997
01:52:21,485 --> 01:52:23,779
I'm not dropping you anywhere,
until you tell all.
998
01:52:25,489 --> 01:52:26,741
Come on, spit it out.
999
01:52:27,992 --> 01:52:30,161
We're all dying to know, aren't we, Vasya?
1000
01:52:33,038 --> 01:52:34,038
Where are we going?
1001
01:52:35,207 --> 01:52:36,500
We're taking you...
1002
01:52:37,877 --> 01:52:39,044
to be investigated.
1003
01:52:40,087 --> 01:52:41,130
"If there are grounds".
1004
01:52:54,894 --> 01:52:56,020
Open the door.
1005
01:52:56,187 --> 01:52:57,521
Take it easy, Kornyev.
1006
01:53:05,154 --> 01:53:06,489
You're under arrest.
