"Neither it was for Cossacks!" "And Japanese!" "I've been half-dead with damned fright!" "Efim Kosa!" "Enough of giggling!" "Speak out!" "I do." "Comrade collective farmers and distinguished revolutionary fighters!" "You're getting older." "You're getting richer and older." "That's ridiculous." "You're feeling that the mighty Red Army is behind your shoulders, - and you don't care a damn what's going on under your nose." "Not at all, it isn't so!" ".." "It is indeed!" "There's a dynamite in taiga and strangers on the road to Aerograd!" "Speak, Stepan!" "What can I say?" "There are strangers indeed." "Shcherban' will be a commander, - and I'll be the guide."

"There's a lot of new laws put into force by the new government - which for us old rutiallists are absolutely unacceptable!" "What kind of lessons do they teach people?" "What kind of examples do they set?" "Bewitchment!" "Dancing!" "Singing!" "And what is the their goal?" "To the devil!" "We old ritualists have the fear of God!" "We're afraid and ashamed even of speaking about it, - leave alone doing!" "And in this conditions " "we flew into forests, " "and prefer to undergo countless hardships among the wild animals - to the life in red cities or villages under the devil's rule." "How long?" "!" "We're afraid of the army..." "You've also admitted its might!" "So you're afraid?" "!" "... 8 years we live with wild animals." "And nobody knows about us." "So be quiet!" ".." "Calm down!" ".." "Silence?" "!" "..." "You toad!" ".." "Just slightly lower than that very place - on the ocean's shore - they're establishing a city!" "Aerograd." "Today!" " tomorrow!" " what would you say to that tomorrow?" "!" "Brothers!" "A city!" "What a city!" "Life!" "Let's do some work, brothers!" ".." "Go home everybody." "I'll take a short speech tomorrow."

"But we're afraid of the Army!" ".." "Yes." "Army is mighty." "But it has been blooded in previous combats, eh?" "It has been reinforced with inexperienced peasants, eh?" "Let's go!" "Boot and saddle!" "Attention!" ".." "We're serving not to the people!" "But to the God!" "Tomorrow we're going to take over Kutsyn radio station!" "Then we'll proclaim to the whole world - that the revolution is busted!" "As to the collective farm workers and Commissars - and their wives and children as well - we'll stake and burn and drown - until they're dead!" "Stop!" "Don't go!" "Don't!" "We'd better kill them right here." "Let's kill Japanese." "Let's kill Shabanov." "Who's that?" "Who is it?" "It's probably an enemy agent from General Political Administration!" "I'm a collective farm member!" "Partisans are close!" "They're guided by Stepan!" "Glushak?" "!" "..." "Volodya!" "Volodya!" "Got you!" "You red enemy agent!" "Stepan!" "Help!" "Help!"

"Stand up now!" "You are sitting on samurai!" "I'm very sorry." "Kill me!" "I don't dare to." "I'm afraid this would cause a scandal." "It's a pity this hasn't been done - by the workers of your own country!" "Well, - you'll die of hands - of wives whose husbands you've deceived!" "You think you've uprised the soviet peasantry?"
