"S-Sorry, friend, that's it." "I won't." "Come." "You're an idiot, man, I'm on your side!" "What, you're going to the virgin soils to party?" "The past is dead." "Excuse me." "I'm going to be decent." "I swear." "That's it." "And I work like only a Monyetkin can." "Sorry." "Come on." "I hate it when boys drink!" "Oh, Anyachka, the man who marries you is going to be a very bored one." "Come on already." "Those two happy guys your comrades or something?" "We're from the same factory." "Monyetkin's a good motorist!" "Which one's he?" "The shorter one." "Splayed out everywhere..." "And the other?" "He... he's completely different, but they're still friends." "Reading poems?" "No." "Tractor theory" "Theory..." "Are all of you from Moscow, then?" "From Moscow." "The whole wagon?" "No, from different places." "Tamara is from Belarus." "Comrades, look!" "Look!" "What is that?" "What is it?" "What happened?" "And all of this to the virgin soils?" "Train is speeding, cold wind blows" "Riding on its blue gears!" "Bringing, bringing to the east" "Many young volunteers!" "Hello sunny open plains we have come to stay here!" "Fond farewells to Dnyepr and Don!" "Fond farewells to Volga!" "You sing very well!" "We made it ourselves!" "Happily and sonorously!" "Virgin soils, oh virgin soils!" "Far and foreign land!" "Ah, flowers!" "Here." "Thank you!" "Look at this, Alyosha!" "Living flowers in the cold." "They'll wilt if you don't warm them." "Yes." "Don't worry." "Not a single flower will die." "Comrade Dontsov!" "The first director on virgin soils." "Greetings to you." "Well met." "Kashtanov, Regional Committee (RC) Secretary." "A pleasure." "Where from?" "From Kuban." "Had to break fresh ground before?" "Yes, I have some experience." "Is that why you're so gloomy?" "Exactly why." "What's the matter?" "Tell me." "Such a task ahead of us, and it's mostly all kids here." "And there's plenty of those that are simply..." "Desperate." "It's fun here in the village, even with the desperate ones." "With them, comes the labour." "With you, the experience." "The youths here were always lively!" "Yeah." "Why isn't it unloading?" "Uzorov!" "What?" "You're in charge." "Unload the cargo train." "Move it." "Follow me." "Heeey!" "Heroes of the future!" "Head out!" "Get to it!" "With feeling!" "Pack in nice and tight and warm." "Come here for a second." "What's your name, son?" "Solntsev, Valentin." "Valentin..." "You going to a theatre or something?" "Hey, nose!" "Come here!" "You should have put 3 more on!" "Give me that." "There we go." "Thank you very much!" "So, who else is theatrically dressed?" "Theatrically?" "Me!" "I think I am!" "Nelli Panina, from the Theatric School." "Burning with desire for the virgin soils!" "What the hell is going on here?" "Make room for her!" "Get in." "Sit." "Well hold her, hold her." "Come on now!" "Sign:" "We wait to hear of your heroic deeds!" "Let's go!" "Look at that!" "Practically a ballet!" "Don't ruin it for everyone else." "Look at what some people can do!" "She studied to be a dancer." "When I sleep..." "I dream of Moscow." "In that land, where yellow nettle and dead hedges bloom," "So do on the lonely willows lean the wooden village huts." "Might as well keep going, it's boring anyway." "But one dream, I quietly... hide." "That my heart is clean, but I too will stab somebody dead in this autumn wind." "Quite the bandit poems." "You don't understand anything." "They're supposed to be depressive!" "It's still hooliganism." "Don't put so much thought into it, Petya." "Who can this pretty girl, realistically, stab?" "Maybe a baby chick?" "Want me to make you a knife out of your file?" "To defend yourself from steepe bandits, eh?" "Romantic?" "As they say:" "First furrow, first furrow..." "But when is that furrow actually going to come?" "What's up, Lyosha?" "Can't wait?" "Fellow..." "That's the thing." "You see..." "There were guys that built the Komsomolsk on the Amur..." "Showed themselves in the war." "And now I want..." "Gimme that." "What do you want?" "You're only young once." "I want to plow these lands." "Give bread to the people." "Lots and lots of bread." "I don't know if that's an achievement or not..." "But we need to." "Need to!" "Need to what?" "Need to accomplish this." "Anyachka..." "Don't you think it's time we had an assembly?" "Chose a bureau?" "Elected a secretary?" "When the new folks, arrive we will." "You know who's going to make a great secretary?" "Who?" "Alyosha Uzorov." "You like him?" "I think he's... smarter than most." "Maybe you like him more as... a person?" "Of course!" "Well why secretary, then?" "I don't get it." "Anyachka!" "What is this nonsense?" "No, no nonsense..." "Comrades." "Comrades!" "Let's discuss this." "What's the matter, Tamara?" "Well..." "If..." "You like a person just as a person." "Can he not be elected into a managerial position?" "Who is it you like?" "If it's me..." "Then you can!" "Did you need an announcement?" "The entire ensemble along with the artistic director." "Comrades!" "A big supervisor of some sort has arrived!" "Greetings comrade Kashtanov!" "Greetings!" "So, have you room for guests?" "Guests always welcome!" "Come in comrades!" "Come in, please!" "Well... these are the newcomers." "And these the old-timers." "Get acquainted." "Salamu Alaykum!" "Hello hello!" "Hello!" "Hello." "How come you're laughing?" "*speaks in foreign language*" "Comrade Shugailo, what did Sadeku say?" "Translate." "We're just joking about the guests here." "Do tell." "We're a little skeptical that such young people could plow the lands and harvest the bread." "Oh ye of little faith!" "Maybe it's time you'd gone to bed." "Monyetkin!" "So sorry, young and fresh..." "Come, comrades!" "Chairs, chairs." "Come this way." "Come, comrades, sit!" "Thank you." "And so, my dear kolkhozniki..." "It will be hard on us without your help." "Very hard." "The new state farm" "has to raise 20'000 hectares!" "Yes..." "Comrade secretary!" "Comrade secretary of the RC!" "I assure you!" "The Soviet youths overcome all difficulties!" "Despite the hardships, we'll live here." "And fight the hardships!" " Hold on!" "And no hardship is too" "That's right!" "There are no" "You wanted to say something?" "Yes, so..." "I myself am a migrant." "Was born in these steppes." "And still can't figure it out." "What?" "This entire time I've been hearing "Hardships, hardships..."" "Yet I've lived here for 50 years and didn't know that every day I overcame these hardships." "Chairman!" "Chairman!" "Yes?" "Lend us your man here!" "Who?" "Shugailo." "Comrade Kashtanov, he's our best brigadier!" "To give him away?" "He's new blood." "He doesn't know the land." "*foreign language*" "How about you?" "Everyone has to decide." "Though they've probably only seen soil in parks" "Don't make fun of our youths, now." "You'll be plowing the soils with them." "Comrades, I think there's only one thing left." "To find a spot for the new state farm." "I keep thinking how a birch could grow here." "Birch, big deal." "Ask me how I was born here in the steppes." "We wintered under that mound there." "That's right." "Yup." "So..." "The land is good." "The road's nearby. and the water." "Well then." "Here the state farm shall be." "Good." "So, Dontsov?" "The place is good." "What to call the state farm?" "What to call it..." "There's a birch!" "Beryozoskaya?" "Yes." "(Beryozovskaya = of Birch)" "The summer is swimming above us..." "Singers!" "Could you please be quiet?" "I have an exam tomorrow!" "Anyachka, are they bothering you?" "A lot!" "I can't understand a thing!" "Beethoven!" "Intermission time!" "Do you see that?" "The kitten is meowing!" "Shoo!" "Comrades, remember who the aggresor was!" "Cut it out!" "You want to kill me?" "!" "Help us get out!" "We're coming from the new state farm!" "Aleksey, your boot, your boot!" "Give me a hand." "What a mess." "Here we go." "Where is the state farm director?" "I'm the director." "Dontsov." "Chelnov." "Ah, Portov's comrade." "A pleasure." "Shugailo" "Allow me to introduce myself." "Korablyov, your chief engineer." "Pleasure." "And driving over there is the agronomist." "Right there?" "Right there." "Very good." "Pleased to meet you." "Is that all the machinery?" "No." "There's 2 more columns." "Oh." "Are there people to work?" "What kind of people have come?" "Mixed group." "Mixed?" "Who's the secretary of the Komsomol Organization?" "Uzorov." "Who?" "Shrapnel..." "Fire!" "He who draws the sword will fall by it!" "Kids." "Kids." "You're not kids anymore." "But part of the Soviet Industry." "With your chief engineer." "Chief agronomist." "And this is our party organizer comrade Chelnov." "Comrades..." "Perhaps tomorrow..." "Our state farm will plow the first furrow in the virgin soils." "Hello." "Hello." "So Alyosha, who will plow the first furrow?" " Monyetkin." "Monyetkin?" "What, he's a good motorist!" "Oh come off it, comrade." "Well, there were objections at the bureau." "Who objected?" "Petya Zisa." "Yeah, I objected!" "Oh stop, he's a good guy!" "Monyetkin's the best motorist." "I'll vouch for Monyetkin." "You'll answer for him, too." "Let's go have a look?" "Let's." "If I had a tractor..." "Again with this." "Sit in your chair, you're the Komsomol Organizer." "All the tractors here should interest you!" "Look, what's Shugailo yelling about?" "He's noisy." "What?" "Noisy." "Let's have a look." "If you hired me to the state farm, why the hell don't you listen?" "You're not the only one who knows soil!" "What's the matter?" "Why so angry?" "A single tractor can't pull two seperate ploughs at once!" "This isn't European land!" "It might not have been plowed for years!" "I think Shugailo is right." "This tractor won't pull two ploughs on this land." "What say you, Agronomist?" "No clue, never plowed these soils." "He's the main engineer!" "And?" "The ministry instructions say it can pull them!" "Alexey Egorovich!" "Wait." "Instructions say it can pull them." "Alright then." "Let's go by your construction." "Aw, come on, old man!" "Just wait." "Comrade Director!" "Queit." "Get on the tractor." "Be modest but do it well." "I'm counting on you, got it?" "Lyosha, man, thank you!" "Alright, go!" "Valka!" "Take a picture!" "Take a picture or I'll rip your head off!" "Let's go!" "What's the matter?" "What..." "I told you it couldn't pull two at once!" "Disconnect it!" "Take it gently and carefully!" "Otherwise the axis might break!" "Go away old man, I'm not an idiot!" "Stop the music!" "Calm down." "Don't calm me down!" "Girls!" "Monyetkin, he's..." "Leave." "You're worthless." "What?" "Leave." "Oh, come on buddy!" "I'm not your buddy." "Leave!" "Renat!" "What?" "Get on the tractor." "Look at how Uzorov is acting in front of the management." "VIDEO LAG" "There's our virgin soil!" "Well, comrades..." "Congratulations on the first furrow!" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "How come there's no music?" "Hey!" "The virgin soils are humming now." "Thousands of people like us are coming out for their first furrows today!" "How many..." "How many could have dreamed of this before, eh, Grigorievich?" "Everything's alright here." "I'll go check and see how the 3rd brigade is doing." "Alexey Egorovich!" "What happened?" "What is it?" "Alexey Egorovich." "We have an idea." "Idea?" "Yeah." "We go ahead." "Just don't scare me." "Well, we're plowing now." "Yeah..." "What if we were to sow it right away too?" "Learning to think like a rural man!" "Of course!" "Rural man, rural man, but..." "You're forgetting that we need 20'000 hectares done by this year." "Of course, you can do that!" "Yes, yes!" "I know I'm not a local here, but is it a crime to sow a part of it?" "Exactly!" "We're just curious what these virgin soils can give us!" "Exactly!" "Come on." "We have a goal:" "this year we plow and the next year we sow!" "You came here for, what, sightseeing?" "I came here to help the party and the government!" "Alright, alright, calm down, pal!" "Why calm?" "We didn't come here for a calm life!" "We need to sow!" "Stop blowing hot air!" "Get back to your posts and stop with the fantasies!" "Your idea drowned." "Like a brick." "What's the matter, Alexey Egorovich?" "Can't sleep?" "Their plowing is..." "lackluster." "In Kuban, the tractorists plow and sing, plow and sing." "In one night..." "You'll hear a thousand songs." "But here..." "There's no enthusiasm." "Well, it's your fault, Alexey Egorovich." "They're offended." "As they say... cooled the young hearts." "I thought about sowing for a while as well..." "A while, huh?" "See, if we started sowing we wouldn't plow as fast." "There's not that many skilled tractorists to go around." "Mostly kids." "Long time to teach." "Even the steepe is covered in a green carpet now." "Later is right." "But the land is tricky here." "Changes from year to year." "Let's risk it?" "What do you say, Alexey Egorovich?" "Now don't you start..." "Why so quiet?" "Alexey Egorovich, answer." "Well if we're gonna risk it, might as well be 5000h." "Cause if I say 1000, you'll complain that it's not enough!" "Koltsov is coming from the brigade!" "Let's go and ask him." "Hey secretary!" "Check if the seeds have sprouted!" "Yeah, I'll find out." "Find out and then come help us!" "Misha!" "Misha!" "Ogurtsov!" "Where's the director?" "Wait!" "How's is it there?" "We sowed and sowed... but nothing." "We thought that you just throw at the virgin soils and it grows!" "It's the directors fault for starting so late!" "The other farms are fine!" "How're the plants, boys?" "Alright, get lost." "Alexey Stepanovich!" "Help us out here!" "What's going on here?" "Explain to us!" "When you're wronged, everyone can hear it!" "It's a nightmare!" "What is?" "We're moving!" "Who's moving you?" "The director!" "Making me a cook for the brigade!" "I did not come from Murmansk to cook porridge for you!" "Cooking borsch and porridge is a great job!" "Food is necessary to ensure Communism grows!" "Communism, Communism..." "But of course!" "You aren't sending Tamara for some reason." "Alexey Stepanovich, I'm being sent to the first brigade." "As a cook." "How's it going girls?" "Some secretary we have." "What?" "I like him!" "You're happy, and we're cooks now!" "Like him, like him." "We know why you like him!" "We came to plow this land as part of a big troupe and now it seems that all we'll do is serve some boring soup." "Hey, grain-growers!" "Stop stamping the earth!" "You're late." "Scandal." "What scandal?" "A big one." "We wasted our time." "The grain has died." "What is it?" "What?" "Don't cry, chums." "The virgin soils worked." "The grain has sprouted." "Where?" "In Kuban?" "No." "Right under your feet." "To see that, though, you need to become expert grain-growers!" "What's for seconds?" "What's on the menu?" "!" "Goulash!" "I'm sick of goulash!" "Not again!" "Why're you throwing it?" "Who are you feeding?" "People or dogs?" "!" "You don't like it, get another cook." "Your goulash is like a cooked insole!" "It's not my fault the meat is hard!" "Your soul is hard." "You could learn a thing or two from Tamara." "Your Tamara's the best!" "Heart heart is soft." "Who told you that?" "Uzorov or Troyan?" "Stop it!" "Impossible to eat with you." "Go take a dip in the salty lake!" "Genya!" "Genya!" "What is it?" "Genya, stand up." "Genya." "What's wrong, you okay?" "Was I asleep or something?" "Are you... drunk again?" "!" "Where's your partner?" "Where's Valka?" "Went to get smokes..." "Smokes, huh?" "You jerk, what am I gonna do with you now?" "What to do with you now?" "!" "Kolya come one, just don't tell anyone." "So I had a bit to drink... things got hazy." "I'm sorry Kolya." "Don't you touch me!" "Don't touch your tractor anymore either!" "Who's gonna cover my shift for me?" "The brigadier, eh?" " I will!" "Good riddance!" "I'm going to the brigade." " Wait!" "Nothing for you to do there." "Go to the central office, and tell them you aren't fit for work!" "We got burned man, you hear me?" "Life has cracked." "No way..." "Heroes!" "Get in, get in." "Come." "Where you headed?" "Central office." "Why head there in this weather?" "Tell me... so the man had a bit to drink." "He's not allowed to drive at all then?" "Who stopped him?" "That's the worst part, my friends." "They're at the forefront and we're lagging behind." "You had no family then?" "Yeah, his family was gone when the war started." "And you, buddy?" "Mommy's boy." "A typical do-nothing." "Kashtanov." "It's going to be hard for you in the virgin soils." "It may also be your saving grace." "Well... here we are." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Are you going to the director?" "The director." "Please don't tell him about this business?" "Please don't?" "What's there to say?" "Thank you." "Take care." "You're a good man!" "And did you sow alot?" "5000 hectares!" "Who sowed it?" "The youths did." "The youths did?" "Amazing." "Yes, yes." "Just so." "Right this way." "So, why is the plowing lagging behind?" "It's a bit hard with our work force." "Not that many talented tractorists." "The people washing over there..." "Is there no sauna yet?" "It's just cold water from the well for now." "What about winter?" "Winter is a while away still." "You can just wash with the snow then." "It was worse on the front lines." "Hardens you." "For sure." "Please, careful, don't fall." "Oh.. damn it." "It's a hard living." "I've told the boys many times to put a wider plank here." "Definitely should." "What is that?" "Boxes." "Who do you live with?" "I'm here." "The party organizer secretary is here." "Where is he now?" "Getting ready for poli-studies." "Should I call him?" "No, no, it's fine." "Tell him... that a key part of politics now, is that... the people on virgin soils... have to live in humane living conditions." "How you live here..." "Why don't you call your wife here?" "She won't come." "Why?" "You don't know her." "She has a strange personality." "Tell your secretary... that a key part of politics now is that... these rickety living standards have to be decidedly put to rest." "I will." "When will you start building?" "If the houses don't come... you think you alone will be taken care of?" "We have hundreds of state farms." "If you wait till winter everyone will freeze." "This is not the southern shores, this is Siberia!" "People will run from you!" "Genka!" "Wait, where're you going?" "I'm so happy!" "Help a sad soul out, Nellichka." "The Rostov people have come!" "Happy folks!" "Let's go!" "Let's go." "Also tell... your secretary... that our politics ultimately revolves around the fact that... we want to permanently populate the soils." "Forever." "We have to behave in such a way that the youths grow to love the land." "That will be the real battle of the party for the bread." "Well..." "I need to speak with the people some." "Anything to say to... me personally?" "What is there to say, when you can't even take care of your wife?" "I wish you luck, Alexey Egorovich." "Look at them, sitting and lazy, like there's nothing to do!" "Alexey Egorovich." "How's our plan?" "I don't know but..." "what of the secretary?" "Wait!" "Listen." "Come here." "Listen and remember what I tell you!" "Everything we build..." "will last forever." "Not only kids, but our grandkids will live on this land too." "Got it?" "Forever?" "Alexey Egorovich..." "You say forever." "How will we build the sauna?" "Culturally?" "Or not?" "It will be cold, but cultural." "But if we" "If we!" "If we." "Can you build it culturally but warm too?" "Nature won't let us!" "Oh, and hackwork nature will?" "Don't you appeal to me." "Look here, you..." "Build me a Siberian sauna." "Eternal... we shall build it." "Eternal?" "Means forever." "Understood." "Get to it then!" "Listen, where's Uzorov?" "Over there." "Uzorov!" "I'm here!" "Here." "Leave those books be!" "Tell me, what do you think of me?" "Eh, Tamara?" "Alyoshenka, give me "The Road to Calvary"" "It's a revolutionary piece." "Have you read it?" "I read parts, but forgot it completely." "You know, I don't have a full education but... you have my word I'll be studying come fall." "Why give me your word?" "You figure it out." "Tamara!" "Wait, Lyosha, wait." "Don't take poems, nobody reads them." "Good poems are read!" "I like it when poetry makes you... think." "Think of the person that's next to you!" "Uzorov!" "Where are you?" "I'm putting a library together for the brigade." "Come here." "..." "Yes." "Tamara." "Tell me what you think of me." "I think highly of you." "And that means?" "Very highly." "Uzorov!" "Stop it and come here." "Coming!" "One sec." "Coming!" "Where have you gone?" "What?" "What!" "Taking care of the books?" "People are building everywhere and we're waiting." "For what?" "!" "Who do we build with?" "No masons." "No carpenters." "Who'd we sow with?" "What is this, the Sahara desert?" "What do we build from?" "Where's the forest?" "The stone?" "There are reeds at the lake... and clay under your feet!" "Why has no one gone for stone yet?" "They won't!" "Who?" "From Rostov!" "They only want to work by profession, but all the professions are city ones!" "You talk to them?" "I wasn't aware they were loud." "I tried talking with them but" "What's so funny?" "Ask him!" "Barely got away!" "They're a bloodthirsty lot!" "Go talk to them." "Director, everything will be fine." "Go ahead, talk." "We'll see." "I swear to you, Rostov boys, you'll be squeezed here!" "Why did they take me off my tractor?" "what do I do now?" "It's useless here in this state farm." "I heard the committee secretary telling our director that we will winter it out here!" "We need to leave!" "Alright." "Conference over." "We're going to a different farm." "There are plenty here!" "Get your things boys!" "I'm with you!" "That's right... boys!" "Leave the state farm..." "Here you go, take this, go on.." "Where the hell did you come from?" "I'm just here watching the glorious workers of Rostov show their worth!" "Here take this bottle too!" "Easy about Rostov!" "What bird are you?" "!" "Not what, but who." "Not a bird, but a mechanic." "You?" "A hairdresser, but" "They're cottagers!" "Came here to eat some tasty chicken!" "Get ouf of here!" "What is this?" "We're insulted at every turn!" "We came here to work by specialization!" "I want to work, you hear me?" "Give me a car." "I'm a top tier driver." "I'm a turner!" "A combine worker!" "You don't value people!" "You took a tractorist of his machine!" "Enough talk!" "Get packing!" "Alright lads, if you're right... all your demands will be met immediately!" "Deal?" "Well?" "Yes." "We took a tractorist off his machine." "We took him off his machine because he was drunk and ditched it in the field!" "Genadyi, isn't it so?" "Maybe it isn't true, Genya?" "Why so quiet?" "Working by specialization?" "These are virgin soils!" "Everything here is reaped anew!" "You!" "Hairdresser!" "Who will you shave?" "Stop agitating us!" "Then it's all clear?" "Clear." "So stop fuming, Rostovites." "There is now a very real demand for stone here." "Stone cutting is not our profession!" "So why the hell did you come to these virgin soils?" "!" "We didn't come to you!" "He thinks he's the boss here!" "Yes, we're bosses here!" "Who we?" "Those of us that work hard!" "And who do you take us to be then?" "You're cottagers." "That's right." "What?" "You want to fight about it?" "What is it, Alyosha?" "I tripped." "How are the Rostovites?" "Okay?" "You talk to them." "I got..." "carried away." "Did I get carried away?" "I'm already starting to lose myself here." "You didn't want to cut the stone first!" "I don't know what I want." "Don't want to lose myself." "So, fellows..." "So our secretary explained it all then?" "That was the secretary?" "!" "We didn't know..." "We need to cut stone." "End of discussion." "The cars are ready." "Get packing." "We're off." "One thing, lads..." "I would ask a favor of you." "What?" "On the job?" "*Drinking gesture*" "No no." "Why so quiet?" "No no?" "No no." "Alrighty then." "Monyetkin!" "Come here." "What are we going to do with you... you muddy person?" "Quiet!" "Get behind the wheel and go with the Rostovites." "But it better not happen again!" "We ought to kick him out of here!" "Ease off, Alyosha." "Do you understand" "I said take it easy!" "It's never too late to cut ties with a person" "Go." "Can I go with him?" "It'll do you some good." "Go." "Thank you." "Alyosha." "Alyosha, she's gone you know." "Who?" "The uh..." "Librarian." "I get it, I get it." "You can't rush with these things, Alyosha." "Here's what I wanted to say." "Go ahead and think on how we can better organize the competition." "Troyan is ready." "But the boys, being from the city, are afraid to compete." "That's understandable." "Troyan is the best tractorist around." "So you figure out how the city boys can catch up to Troyan." "Got it?" "Start tomorrow morning, with Shugailo's brigade." "Get on it, lad." "Hello, Alyosha." "Hello, Taras Grigorievich." "Hi secretary." "Hey!" "Here to propagandize for us?" "Yeah, to propagandize." "Good, good." "Shame I didn't catch Troyan though." "He's right here." "What, here?" "Yeah." "He comes often to see one of the gals here." "Sit down, lads!" "Hey." "Hello, hello." "Well?" "Why so quiet, Alyosha?" "Propogandize!" "Enough words." "It's time for actions." "Good, good." "So no one at all can compete with Troyan?" "You're all afraid?" "Uh... yup." "Don't be angry, Alyosha." "Troyan has a whole briefcase of honorary diplomas." "We're like the virgin soils!" "We're not experienced tractorists..." "You!" "Sit!" "..." "Petya Zisa." "Virgin soils..." "You speak like a writer but think like an illiterate." "We picked you, Uzorov, because you think so well." "Shirking away from competing with Troyan?" "Weak souls you've got." "You'll be sorry yet." "Is Anyuta Zalogina here?" "So, found a dim enough girl?" "Quiet you jerks!" "Anya!" "Come here!" "Hello, Alyosha." "Hello, Anyuta." "Anyachka." "Anyuta." "Come." "Let's see how he propogandizes her." "Well, Anyuta... help me out." "What is it?" "If anyone can accept Troyan's challenge, it's you." "No, Alyosha, I can't." "Someone has to wipe the smirks off their faces." "Why me?" "Why not?" "You must be joking!" "Are you afraid of Troyan too?" "It's a cult of personality then." "Sure, but I'm still scared." "Look at him and then at me!" "Some comparison." "Why is it still me, me!" "Because you're brigade leader, Anya." "Anyachka." "No, no, no, no." "You're the best of all the girls here!" "I can't." "I'm scared." "You've got a character of steel!" "Anyachka, you're my last hope." "I'll just shame you..." "Does he walk here often?" "What does he need, I wonder..." "Tamara..." "Listen..." "Night and day..." "I only think of you." "Talk." "Talk." "Look at how she pushed him away." "Persistant guy..." "Tamara." "I..." "Hey, Troyan!" "Enough walking around!" "Get to work!" "Some people..." "Can't even speak my mind." "Well, what?" "Got some news." "You'll be competing with her." "Hush you!" "I decided for myself!" "Alright, Anyachka, I'm ready." "Don't be upset when I beat you." "Sure, sure, beat her." "Hold still." "Let me sign this." "Alyosha, we shouldn't do this!" "We'll see." "Sign the documents." "Anya!" "A minute please." "You want to shame our entire brigade?" "Anyut, Anyut!" "Go sign." "Eh, chum!" "You have to think better than that!" "If Anya can compete with a man like Troyan, what are the others going to do?" "That'll make you work harder." "Go on, go on." "Now that's a clever guy." "Got it?" "Well, Anyutka..." "Stay strong." "I'll see you." "Goodbye, Alyosha." "Goodbye, Taras Grigorievich!" "Eh?" "Writer?" "Hey." "Hey Alyosha." "Come in." "Try my borsch." "Did Troyna offend you?" "Troyan?" "No, Alyoshenka, no." "Well..." "If he starts bothering you, you let me know." "Oh come on now, Alyosha." "Alright." "Well?" "Remeber what I talked to you about last time?" "Well?" "Why so quiet?" "What is there to say, Alyosha?" "So I have made absolutely no impression on you?" "Oh, Alyoshinka, only the best kind of impression." "On your word as a Komsomol?" "You're such a child, Alyoshka." "So that mean you..." "Have thought of him?" "Whom, Alyoshenka?" "Of him, who, night and day..." "Well, about me." "You're just a school kid, Alyosha." "I'm no school kid." "I love you." "And you me, yes?" "Yes?" "Alyoshenka, darling." "I love another." "Alyosha, wait!" "Alyo" "Alyosha!" "Hey." "Alyosha, hello!" "Hello." "Sit." "How are you?" "Listen here." "We're cutting stone, ahead of schedule too!" "Ahead of schedule is good." "Where are the cutters?" "The village, there's a dance there." "And I'm stuck here cooking dinner for them." "Is Genka there?" "Why?" "Something wrong, Alyosha?" "Sit, tell me." "I need to speak with him." "Different rumors floating around... and stuff." "Don't believe them, Alyosha." "Take me:" "I'm nobody, a complete bystander." "I have to be objective!" "Monyetkin is a great comrade!" "What do you mean?" "Well... as an activist, at least!" "Stop it, Nelli." "I've know him since he was this tall." "I know." "I know what you'll say." "It's Valka." "Valka Solntsev is to blame." "Valka gambles, Valka gets the vodka" "He also gets into knife fights?" "There was no fight." "The villagers beat him because they were jealous." "Valka was beat up?" "No,Genka." "Oh, Nelli..." "Genka and I were good friends." "Really?" "I didn't know." "Tell him to see me at central." "We've got a meeting coming." "Something happened to Genka?" "Tell him to come." "Is he going to court?" "No." "Court, no court..." "Just... tell him to come." "Going to take mechanic courses in the winter?" "Write it down." "Well then." "What then?" "Write it down then." "Alright then." "I heard everything, Nelka." "You're a right gal." "Darling, please, I beg you with all my heart!" "Sit, listen to me!" "Just listen." "You're a smart guy." "So what?" "!" "You don't get it." "Just stop your hooliganism!" "He was my friend, d'you get it or not?" "Now he's getting ready to jail me." "Have me come in... some director he is." "Everything will be fine." "Just stop your hooliganism!" "Oh will you cut it out!" "Valka's going to have to vouch for you now." "Leave Valka out of this!" "What are you thinking?" "Stop it!" "Oh, Genka..." "What is it?" "Do you love me?" "Genka, do you love me?" "Do you love me?" "You ready, Valka?" "Ready!" "Let's go then." "My old file!" "What craftsmanship!" "Give it to me?" "Take it." "Awesome!" "That Uzorov's a jerk." "Why?" "Wants to make an example of us in court." "Us?" "To court?" "!" "We'll get 5 years, and there goes our youth." "Take us to court for what?" "!" "He'll think of something." "We'll remember him from our jail cells." "Killing him won't be enough justice." "Stop throwing word around, girlie." "Don't believe me?" "I swear!" "Ooh!" "Hey Anyutka!" "Hello, Alyosha!" "Hello dear." "Well?" "How's your tractor?" "It works, as you can tell." "How're you, Alyosha?" "Bad." "The tractorists are inexperienced." "Day and night I have to fly around in this thing and look after people." "And then there's the Komsomol business..." "It's hard." "Why hard?" "Virgin soils everywhere..." "You've changed, too." "You're different." "Not pretty?" "All dirty, I get it." "Yeah..." "I got you into this mess." "It must be hard to go against Troyan." "Afraid I won't live up to your hopes?" "Dummy." "Go to the brigade, take a break." "I'lle work your shift." "Leave it!" "Thank you, I'm still alive." "They say Tamara's engaged." "They say..." "With Troyan." "They say..." "You love anyone?" "No." "To hell with this love!" "Winning this competition is more important!" "What can I help with, Anyut?" "Anyut?" "Go to the brigade, rest." "Let me work for you for a bit." "Get the hell out of where!" "What?" "Get out of here right now!" "Anyut!" "I don't need your sympathy!" "I don't need your pity either!" "Leave!" "Anya!" "Pity, pity, that's all I get!" "I'll get by without your pity somehow!" "Like I need the help!" "You just don't get women, Secretary." "Well..." "What am I gonna do with you two?" "So you sure you two love each other?" "Forever" "Well, be careful friends." "When it comes to love..." "You shouldn't rush." "Don't try to propogandize to us, Alexey Stepanovich." "You wrote to marriage bureau?" "We did." "The parents?" "We're waiting for an answer." "Ah, go to hell, get married." "Very good." "Nothing good!" "We've nowhere to live together." "We're waiting for homes, but where are they?" "Only talk!" "When the snows come, we'll freeze." "What kind of life is there in a tent?" "It's such a tragedy, Alexey Stepanovich!" "Yes, a tragedy..." "Don't worry, there will be no tragedy." "You know what Dontosov told me?" "No!" "But...!" "Who gets married first..." "gets the first room!" "Honestly?" "Really?" "I think you'll be alright." "Thank you so much, Alexey Stepanovich!" "We will have a house!" "We will have a house!" "Did you... drop something?" "I dropped nothing." "Pick it up, pick it up." "Nice knife." "Careful, lad." "You might stab somebody dead with it... in this autumn wind?" "Like the poetry?" "You'll sleep with us." "No, I'm going home." "Where?" "To the stone." "I won't let you go there." "Breathe on me." "Why won't you let me?" "You'll be gone." "You think so?" "I do." "Genka gave it to you?" "Okay, I'll stay the night here." "Forget about Genka." "Throw the knife away... in the well." "Now?" "Of course now!" "That's exactly... how you twerps perish..." "May I go?" "Go." "Valka!" "Where're you going?" "We need to talk!" "Valka!" "Well?" "Why so quiet, kid?" "Alright, go to bed." "Tomorrow... is a big day." "Who is it?" "Be ready, girl." "Commission's here." "Come." "Let's go, Valka." "There were more of us plowing that Troyans!" "Don't you get it?" "It's quality, not quantity." "Look!" "They have beards!" "Beards!" "Beards." "I don't see any beards!" "Beards..." "Well what is this then?" "Is this not a beard?" "It's a white one too!" "Beards, beards." "We're city folk!" "Keep that in mind too!" "Beards, moustaches..." "What do you think, then, of the plowed land?" "That's right, what do you think?" "On a scale from 1 to 5... 3!" "What is he saying?" "That's lies!" "Complete sham!" "No way!" "Wait..." "Hold on a minute!" "Don't be so morbid." "Other wise all the young tractorists will be demoralized." "In that case... 4 minus." "Oh come on then!" "Quiet, comrades!" "Why argue for naught?" "The ministry instructions state" "You and your instructions!" "Come." "Well comrades..." "Let's go and see what Troyan has done." "Sure, let's." "Alexey Stepanovich!" "We found a beard." "If you want more, we can find them!" "Let's go show it to him!" "What is this if not... a beard." "Also white!" "One of your teeth must be sore..." "Alexey Stepanovich..." "What tooth?" "So what do you give Troyan?" "On your scale from 1 to 5." "Yeah!" "5 plus!" "Quiet!" "Can't yell over you!" "Listen, agronom, don't scold the kids, and stop praising... the old guys like Troyan so much." "You need to be fair here." "Exactly, comrade director!" "So according to you, the winner is Troyan, eh?" "Well yes of course!" "Yes, comrades, Troyan." "What're you clapping for?" "!" "Not 5 plus, but you need to be objective here." "Well, comrades." "Let's go congratulate the victor!" "Like it?" "What..." "For the director?" "Pal..." "We're making a gift." "For who?" "The first serious wedding in the farm is coming." "Petya and Katya Zisa." "You know them?" "For them?" "!" "Quiet you, it's a surprise." "Cool." "Who's the next room for?" "Troyan." "Who's the bride?" "The bride?" "The bride is the cook from the first brigade." "When're you getting married?" "You know, I'm completely disappointed in love, pal." "Me too." "Only had such a dinner in Rostov!" "More compote?" "Less juice." "Great compote!" "Oh Nelichka!" "You have the talent... to make me feel at home." "Yup." "The candies in this napkin" "I was saving for her but will give to you." "Nelichka!" "You know what Nelichka?" "We also have a present for you." "We'll go get it!" "Oh, darling..." "I would take your hair up to a "Finsyon"... and give you the haircut "Andulision." Careful!" "Look out!" "We swore to no drinking on the job!" "So?" "Did I drink?" "You saw me?" "Here." "So we swore for nothing?" "He had the vodka in his case, not me!" "Who're you lying to?" "!" "Vardan is a saint!" "All the Rostovites can vouch for him!" "Come on, lads" "While you put your thieving self above the others." "Get the hell away from us!" "Alright, no sense in talking to him." "Lads!" "Back to work!" "Genka!" "Again?" "!" "Fool." "I'm no fool!" "Guys!" "You're really going to banish a person just like that?" "I swear on my life everything will be quiet and peaceful from now on!" "Vardan!" "Forgive me!" "Listen." "You're a driver, I'm a driver." "You're a trickster, I'm a trickster." "But I build, you destroy." "I swear it!" "You promised often you'd stop drinking!" "Now you sell vodka and embarrass us!" "Now nobody believes your oaths." "Get lost!" "Listen Genka." "Move out of the way." "Brothers!" "If we have a group collective here, you have to discipline me!" "Teach me!" "Would you stop it, Genya?" "!" "I also used to be a fiery kid, but I've figured you out." "You have a tendency to depend on others, but it's a very unfortunate trait." "I spit on this Beryozovskoy state farm!" "Let's see how you build it!" "Nelka!" "Throw my things onto the work car!" "Genochka, dear!" "Don't leave!" "Genka!" "Wait!" "Genka!" "Genka!" "Genka!" "Genka, dear!" "Wait, I'll be alone here without you!" "What am I going to do without you?" "Genka, please, I beg you!" "Wait, Genya!" "I beg you!" "Stop!" "Don't touch him!" "I beg you!" "Don't touch him!" "I beg you!" "Don't!" "Oh, my darlings!" "What am I doing?" "I cannot live without my sweetheart." "Everyone call me brave in life But I am shy when it comes to love." "When I see my sweetheart from afar, how quickly I run to meet him!" "Will they not come at all for the celebrations?" "What you mean, not at all?" "They'll finish ahead of schedule and come!" "The whole commission will come." "Him too?" "Him who?" "There is one..." "Look!" "Look!" "They're coming!" "The commission is coming!" "Ladies!" "The commission is here!" "I told you, Annushka!" "Even your street will have a celebration!" "Alyosha!" "Hey!" "Congratulations!" "We're tallying republic totals." "Give me the numbers, brigadier!" "We have a shot at first place!" "Anyut!" "Anyuta!" "Well, Anyuta..." "You're a hero!" "What's up?" "How you've changed." "All grown up now." "Where're your braids?" "Too proud, huh?" "Why do you say that?" "Proud, proud..." "You soulless bureaucrats." "When she fell in, you all came." "When it's her day, no one cares." "Don't, Uncle Taras..." "I can't!" "You soulless people." "Hold up there, Taras." "Soulless..." "Anyachka!" "Anyuta, don't get upset." "You have to understand what's at stake here!" "We're building, we're cleaning!" "We're forgetting a person here." "Not so!" "Go and take your numbers, Alyosha!" "Dummy!" "Anyachka..." "Anyachka!" "Anyuta!" "Anyachka, the numbers aren't mine, they're yours!" "We're tallying the republic results!" "Oh, Alyosha..." "Look at you." "Numbers, reports.." "As though there's nothing else in life" "Are you serious?" "Do you know what's happenine to a person's soul?" "My organization has 178 souls, I know who breathes what." "Do you know what I breathe?" " I do." "Do you know that I loved you?" "Anyachka!" "Anyachka!" "Anya, forgive me." "What's to forgive?" "What was won't come back." "Do you know that I loved you?" "Do you know that I loved you?" "Welcome!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "This, with the ring, is yours." "Come in!" "Mommy!" "This is a dream!" "Thank you so much!" "Thank you!" "Welcome." "And this one's yours!" "Here." "Congratulations, comrade." "Thank you Alyosha!" "For good luck!" "For good luck!" "Do you like it?" "A lot!" "Anyachka..." "Well..." "I just want to say that..." "What can you possibly say?" "What?" "Yeah, uh... why are your brigade contributions so low?" "DUMBASS!" "So, Alyosha..." "Ooh, dressed like a rich man!" "Getting married?" "I don't think that'll happen." "Shame." "Why?" "Well, we'd give you a house, a garden, a cow..." "I'm against private property." "A cow needs to be milked." "Boring." "Yeah, Alexey Egorovich..." "I'm unlucky on the virgin soils." "Idiot, idiot..." "You can't imagine yet... what's becoming of you." "Comrades, Comrades!" "Moscow!" "Moscow!" "In today's show... you will hear the voices of your friends and neighbours from Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and other cities." "We call, first, from the Bryozovskaya State farm" "Valentina Solntseva." "Listen, as" "Hurry up, come on!" "Where's the knife." "Give it." "I don't have it!" "Traitor." "Buddies with, Uzorov now, eh?" "Have you forgotten: "I'll show, prove, swear?" "That was childishness!" "You get 20 years for that childishness!" "Just because Uzorov is quiet I won't be." "Be ashamed, Genka!" "Go ahead, hit me!" "What do you want from me?" "!" "You're all so clean and innocent." "I'm the only black sheep!" "Traitor!" "If you don't stop.." "I don't know what I'll do with myself!" "The world won't be orphaned." "My dear son, Valya!" "Me, your dad and all your relatives send you our warmest greetings!" "You were headed for the virgin soils and hopefully found your happyness." "Your comrades often come to us and ask of you, and tell us they are jealous of all the people that left for the virgin soils." "This waltz will be played by request of the Boryozovskaya state farm." "Hey, have you seen Valka?" "No, why?" "It's weird, he's gone." "They were whispering with Genka." "With Genka?" "Yes." "That's not good..." "Let's go." "Have you seen Valka Solntsev?" "Ah, forget you.." "Have you seen Valka Solntsev?" "He was running to the birch forest." "Come on." "Asleep!" "The scoundrel." "Go on, get out of here!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Nothing." "What can you possibly tell me if I'm simply... a lost cause?" "We won't tell you anything, but will talk again next year." "What about now?" "!" "Now, they're calling you on the radio!" "You..." "Mama!" "Alexey Egorovich!" "Director!" "What?" "Let's dance, huh?" "Music!" "Go!" "No, no!" "I'm not in the mood!" "Well then I'll go myself!" "Why so bored?" "Eh?" "Just..." "Come on, let's go dance." "No." "I'm tired." "What do you mean tired?" "Everyone should be having fun now!" "Come on!" "You hear me?" "Do you remember the spring?" "I remember everything." "I didn't believe in your brother then." "You see, Anyutka..." "When... all the soils will be plowed." "What will our land look like?" "And... girls like you." "You and the boys, with their bare hands made this happen." "How can we not..." "love you kids for it?" "Come on, let's go dance." "Comrade Dontsov!" "Let me leave the state farm." "What?" "You out of your mind?" "Tell me now!" "What happened?" "It's so... hard for me." "I will still go to another farm." "What is it, what?" "Anyutka, darling, what is it?" "Look at the house we've built!" "We'll have the results soon!" "There'll be festivities!" "The secretary will come!" "You'll all be rewarded!" "You especially!" "What of my heart?" "Can you reward that?" "No..." "So don't get upset..." "Can't reward the heart..." "Well?" "You see?" "That's a lot of building for half a year!" " I'd say so." "So will everyone be moving into the new houses?" "Little by little." "There are rumors you're headed for first place." "Are there?" "The committee secretary will know." "That he will." "First place." "I hope so!" " Let's go celebrate!" "Let's." "Comrade guests!" "Comrade farmers!" "Now comes the time..." "Of historic days!" "Though in our farming lives, every day is historic." "Well, time will come, when we will have to collect our very first harvest!" "And then, soon..." "You will be put into new houses, comrades!" "And finally, and I'd say equally important for us news is that the committee secretary, comrade Kashtanov will be coming today!" "Who will inform us as to what place we have won in the competition of sowing of the virgin soils!" "First place, for sure!" "We don't agree to anything less!" "Me neither!" "But while comrade Kashtanov is stuck somewhere in the air..." "I suggest changing the order of our meeting today." "First the concert, and then the report." "Any objections, comrades?" "My dear comrades, don't judge me." "I leave to work at a different farm." "Signed, Zalogina" ""The successes of our best workers!"" "Tell me what you want!" "You're poor!" "Here." "Here!" "Take these diamonds." "I will give you everything of mine." "But say not to him!" "Take him, my lady!" "Of your own will!" "I give you a person that... through hellish claws was ripped from my side and" "Who're you looking for?" "Have you seen Anya Zalogina?" "Quiet!" "Genya?" "Genka!" "Where are you going?" "What happened, Genya?" "A fire is burning, I tried to fight it!" "We need to tell everyone!" "What bastard could have done this?" "Come!" "Come quickly, Genka!" "I won't go there!" "Have you lost your mind?" "!" "Genya, you were putting out the fire yourself." "You're all burned!" "Come on!" "Genachka, the bread will burn!" "The state farm!" "I beg you, run, Genachka!" "Let's go straight for it!" "Genya... wait!" "I can't anymore!" "Go, run!" "Maybe you don't know yourself, my lady." "But you destroyed the heaven of two lovers!" "You separated two hearts..." "Alexey Egorovich!" "Wait." "The plains are burning." "Alright." "The plains are burning!" "What?" "!" "Not a word to anyone!" "The fire is headed for the state farm!" "Chelnov!" "Yes!" "Get the everyone moving!" "Now!" "Comrades!" "The plains are burning!" "The fire is threatening the crops and the farm!" "Everyone to the fire!" "Alexey Egorovich!" "Strong winds!" "What do we do?" "Get to the tractors!" "The tractors!" "Alexey Egorovich!" "What!" "Things are bad!" "Get the dumptrucks!" "You can't put a fire out with them!" "The scraper!" "Take the two together and put out the fire?" "Yes!" "Go, go!" "Rostovites!" "With me!" "It's nothing, Alexey Egorovich!" "Go sit." "It's fine!" "Get in I tell you!" "Okay over there?" "Alright, go!" "Where's Uzorov?" "Just left." "Alyosha!" "Are you crazy?" "!" "Alexey Stepanovich wanted to tell you that." "that he loves you very much and will do so for the rest of his life!" "You're both crazy." "No I'm quite serious!" "I can vouch for that!" "How is everyone?" "How's Uzorov?" "Everyone's okay, Uzorov too." "What villain did this?" "I still don't get it." "I'm just about ready to shoot myself, honest." "What?" "Don't talk like that!" "Of course you'd say that." "A director, a communist, shouldn't say things of that sort." "But he can have feelings, can't he?" "!" "That's our first crop burned down!" "What about me?" "Them?" "We need you!" "Alexey Egorovich." "I burned it." "W..." "What did you say?" "Have you lost it?" "He must be mad, this Monyetkin!" "Why are you saying this?" "I saw myself how he fought the fires!" "Anya, be quiet." "I lit it." "It's my fault." "Judge me, shoot me" "You idiot, don't throw your words around!" "What did you do?" "!" "Well?" "!" "I drank... threw out a butt end..." "I lit it." "I didn't mean to." "Scoundrel..." "Comrades!" "You can say anything you want about him, but he didn't start the fire!" "Where Monyetkin is, so is the scandal." "I'd give you such a trashing you'd remember it for life." "Easy!" "Hey, hey!" "Easy now!" "He's a lost cause." "It would be just a waste of effort." "People like him bring the worst to the farms." "You're going to be sentenced!" "Bring him before a judge!" "Hold on!" "Wait!" "What?" "To judge?" "Banish?" "It's easy to say judge." "Think for a second!" "We could ruin a man's life!" "Why the hell are you defending him?" "!" "Monyetkin's his buddy!" "That's why you're defending him!" "Yes!" "Yes, I'm his buddy, and it's chiefly my fault he is like he is." "I was a bad friend for not doing better for him." "We ought to try you too!" "So try me!" "Take me to court!" "Take me!" "If you're all so clean." "But who knows..." "Maybe one of us could have taken his path!" "Life isn't a... simple thing." "Alright, alright!" "Enough, Alyosha!" "We've tried far too much with this wretch!" "We'll go to court, the prosecutors will handle it." "Alexey Egorovich!" "What are you saying?" "!" "You told me it's never too late to cut ties with a person!" " A person!" "What, he's not a person?" "He came himself, admit himself!" "Let us believe him!" "Shame on you, Alexey Stepanovich!" "Who are you defending?" "Drive him off!" "Exactly!" "You'd drive everyone off if you could!" "Don't defend me, Alyosha." "Do not." "I'm not defending you." "What are we worth as people if even..." "Monyetkin... we can't seem to fix." "Alexet Grigorievich." "Unlce Taras." "You, Rostovites!" "Why are you so quiet?" "Wait." "Well wh" "Wait, I said!" "He's here." "Where's he flying?" "!" "Hello, comrade Kashtanov!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello comrades!" "I see you've held up your end." "The bread will be coming soon!" "Great." "Thank you." "Great." "You all did a fine job, actually." "Congratulations, comrades, on making it." "We've been waiting for, you, comrade!" "Let's go to the people." "This way." "We need to thank them for everything!" "So, comrades, we've tallied the results of the first stage of our work." "The results of the fantastic job our youths have done on the virgin soils!" "Obviously you want to know which place you took in sowing the virgin soils." "Of course!" "Yes!" "The director promised us first place!" "First or not, but it's a place!" "Worst case scenario, I'll take third." "She almost got it!" "Was she over or under?" "A bit over." "Fourth?" "Fifth!" "Sixth!" "Seventh!" "So you wanted to get first place then?" ""In the plowing of the soils, the best regions were Komsomolsk, Pervomaysk..."" "And here is the Beryozovskaya state farm!" "Comrades, many state farms fought for first place." "Well, come on!" "Come on!" "I think we have this, Alexey Egorovich." "The Beryozovskaya state farm fought to hold one of the top spots!" "And took..." "The fifth place." "You shouldn't be upset, my friends." "How can we not?" "Simple." "There are dozens of state farms behind you!" "You are one of the best!" "One of the best?" "Alexey Egorovich, you know what this means." "No celebration." "Yup." "Wait, wait." "Right." "What?" "They're right, but we won't cancel anything, just move it to next year." "What are you talking about?" "And we will meet right here..." "And then we will see what spot we take in the Republics!" "Am I right?" "I suppose you are right." "But it might happen that some of the people here now will become intimidated by the difficult life of a state farmer and will..." "leave." "What if they don't want to stay with your state farm?" "Like who?" "!" "Oh please..." "Broyzovites!" "Tell me truly!" "But only truly!" "Which of you want to leave this state farm?" "Raise your hands!" "Say it, and you can leave!" "I'd like to see such a person." "There are no birds like that here!" "Everyone will stay." "Yup." "As you can see, Comrade Kashtanov, there's no one intimidated by this life." "Well then... very good." "I doubly congratulate you all, comrades." "Firstly that you are leading the way for us." "And that you strive to be ever better than before." "But the most important things..." "are your warm hearts." "You work with passion." "With a communist sense of responsibility." "There are still those among you that... still need to be worked with." "But the entire family is one that..." "You can truly be proud of." "And not once will our people give our heartfelt thanks to our youth for what they accomplish on he virgin soils!" "Attention!" "Everyone!" "So comrades, the results aren't bad but we are sure that first place will definitely be ours!" "The End"
