"Our gunners are brave –" "And the day they will save..." "Our gunners are brave –" "And the day they will save..." "Hell knows what you are singing Kitchen maid's songs." " Why kitchen maid's?" " Sing something decent." "But I made it up myself, Alyosha." "You may sing or may not sing " "Your voice is not the real thing" "There are voices of such depth Can scare anyone to death..." "That can be said about your voice..." "Not at all." "I do have a voice." "Maybe not as strong as Shervinsky's voice, but still quite a decent one, most probably dramatic baritone." "Lenochka, what do you think?" "Do I have a nice voice?" " No, you don't have any." " She is just upset." "By the way, Alyosha, my music teacher used to tell me –" ""You, Nikolay Vasilievich, could have been singing in opera, if not for this Revolution"." " He is a fool, your music teacher."

"I cannot stay inactive any longer." "I wish our division can be ready soon." "When I need your advice on the readiness of my division," "I will tell you." "I am sorry, Colonel, sir." " Alyosha, where is my husband?" " He will come, Lenochka." "He told me to expect him by morning and now it's past 9 pm and he is still not here." " What if something bad has happened?" " Lenochka, it is impossible." "You know that Germans guard the road to the West." "Then why is he not here yet?" "They are probably standing at every train station." "Revolution travelling, Lenochka, is one hour of going and two hours of standing." "Oh, here he is, I told you so." "Well, thank God." " Who is there?" " Please open, for God's sake, faster..." " It's you, Vitya?" " It's me, of course." "God dammit." "Nikolka, please take the rifle off." "Devil take them!" "Vitya?" "Alyosha!" "How do you do?" " Victor, where are you coming from?" " Where from?" "From there... from Slobodka or the central defense line, how he calls it," "the Commander Cavalry General Belorukov..." "Nikolka, be careful – there is a bottle of vodka in my pocket." "Lena, may I stay for the night?" "I won't make it home." "Oh my god, of course." "Oh-ho, the captain is frozen solid." "Please be careful." " What, they couldn't give you warm boots?" " Warm boots?" "Bastards!" " May you live long, Lenochka." " The bath will be ready in a minute." "It's a total mess." "Dear, please take it off." "Take it all off." " One second." "Please be careful." "I need some vodka..." "I need to drink some vodka..." " Yes, I will pour you." "Alyosha, the toes are frozen." "That's it for my toes." "Lost them, God dammit." "No, no, they will be fine." "Nikolka, rub his feet with vodka." "Like I will allow him to waste vodka on my feet!" "Nikolka, please take this." " Well, are you warm now, Captain?" " Yes, feel better." "Tell us, what's going on there?" "On this Defense Line?" "A blizzard, that's what's going on." "I would shove that snowstorm, and frost, and German bastards, and Petlura..." "Wait a second." "I don't understand." "Why did they send you out there, to Slobodka?" "Because of peasants!" "There, in Slobodka." "Those sweet peasants, the imagination of Count Leo Tolstoy." "How can that be?" "The newspapers say that peasants all support the Getman." "I don't care what newspapers say, Cadet!" "I would hang them all on the first tree, that newspaper's trash." "Today, I myself, personally, bumped into one old guy and I asked him "Where are all your guys?" The village was completely dead." "And being half-blind and not seeing my uniform, he said, "All ran away"." "Well, well, well..." "So I took that Tolstoy's dick by his collar and said" ""And what if I will shoot you, you old fart." "Then you will find out what it means to run away." "You will run all the way to Heavens and back"." "And of course, that sweet peasant, that Sowman and Ploughman, the Feeder of People, opened his eyes," "fell to the ground and started screaming "Please take pity on me, Your Excellency." "I didn't realize." "I am old and blind." "What can I do for you?" "Please take anything." "I will give you horses and a cart." "Just don't kill me"." "So how did you get back to the city?" "Relief came today, thank God." "Infantry troops arrived." "I threw such a tantrum at the railroad post, in the headquarters..." "Awful." "They were sitting there and drinking cognac!" "I told them "YOU are sitting here." "The Getman is in the palace." "But the artillery officers were sent without boots into the blizzard to fight peasants?"" "They did not know how to get rid of me." ""We will send you, Captain, - they said - to any artillery regiment according to your qualification." "Go to the city."" " Alyosha, please take me into your division." " With pleasure." "I myself wanted to ask for you." "I will give you the command of the First battery." " Benefactor!" " Hurrah!" "Now we are all together." "Studzinsky as the Senior Officer." "Tomorrow or the day after we can hit the road." "You can't wait for Petlura to hit you on the head?" "Just wait and see who gets to hit whom..." "Victor, come on, go take a bath, go..." "Here is the towel." "Elena, darling, please let me hug and kiss you for all your efforts." "Lenochka, what do you think - should I drink vodka now or later, at dinner, all at once?" "Later, at dinner, all at once." "Victor, have you seen my husband?" "My husband is missing." "Don't worry, Lenochka." "He will come back soon." "Nikolka, set ombre, we'll play." "He got killed..." "Killed..." "Must have been an attack on the train." "Escort is dead..." "Here he is." "What happened to the doorbell, for God's sake?" "I must have done something to your doorbell." "You pressed the button too hard." "I am so sorry." "Many-many apologies..." "So finally I am here!" "How do you do, much-esteemed Elena Vasilievna." "I recognized you right away!" "From your pictures." "Mom asked me to give you her warmest regards." "And same to Alexey..." "Vasilievich!" " How do you do?" "How do you do, Nikolay Vasilievich?" "I heard so much about you." "I see you look surprised." "Please allow me to give you a letter." "It will explain everything." " Handwriting is illegible." " Yes, very." "Let me read it myself." "Mom has such a handwriting that sometimes she would write something and then cannot make out herself what she has written." ""Darling, sweet Lena." "I am sending you my boy." "Please take him in and make him at home, the way only you can do it." "With his talents..."" "That's my mama..." ""With his talents, it's impossible for him to stay in Zhitomir and waste time"." "May I ask, who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?" "What do you mean, who?" "You don't know me?" "No such pleasure, to my regret." "Oh my God, and you, Elena Vasilievna?" "And me." "Witchcraft..." "But mama had sent you a telegram with 63 words!" "With 63 words?" "Wow." " We haven't received any telegram." " Haven't received..." "Oh, my God..." "My sincere apologies..." "I thought you were expecting me, so came straight in..." "I think I crushed something..." "I am so clumsy." " Could you please tell us your name?" " Larion Larionovich Surzhansky." "It's Lariosik, our cousin from Zhitomir." "Well, yes." "I am sorry I left footprints all over." "I thought you were expecting me." "But since you were not, I will do to a hotel." "There are no hotels anymore." "Wait, wait... please take your coat off." "No one is turning you away." "Please do take your coat off." " Extremely obliged." " You can hang the coat right here." "Extremely obliged." "Lenochka, I will be in my room." "I have things to do." "It's too noisy here." "Vitya, allow me to introduce our cousin from Zhitomir." "Nice to meet you." "Victor Victorovich Mishloevsky." "Staff-captain." "Very happy to make your acquaintance." "Larion Larionovich Surzhansky." "Civilian." "Do you play cards, dear Larion Ivanovich?" "Larion Larionovich." "I would be happy... if you don't object, of course... to go by my first name." " Well, why not." " Do you play "Vint"?" " Very-very badly." "I'll play if no one gets mad at me." " Who is there?" " It's me." "Please open the door." "Thank God." "Where have you been?" "I was so worried." "Don't kiss me." "I am completely frozen." "You might catch a cold." " Where have you been?" " I was detained in the German Headquarters." "Important business." "Go, go quickly..." "get warm now..." "We will be having tea now." " No tea, Lena." "Wait." "Lena, please close the door..." "Lena, I need a word with you..." "Lena, something terrible has happened..." " What's wrong?" "The German Army is abandoning the Getman." "Volodya, what are you saying?" "How do you know this?" "Got it just now." "From the German HQ." "In complete confidentiality." "Nobody knows yet." "Even the Getman." " What is going to happen then?" "What is going to happen..." "It's almost 10 now." "What is going to happen..." "Lena..." "What are you saying?" " I am saying" " Lena." " So what, Lena?" "Lena, I have to run now." "There is no other way." "I understand." "Of course you are right..." "In 5-6 days?" "Maybe the situation will change for the better." "I need to go right away." "The train is leaving at midnight..." "My dear, can you imagine what will happen to me if the Russian Army doesn't stop Petlura and he takes the city?" " We can hide you." "My dear, I am not a needle." "To hide a military minister's assistant!" "They will find me right away!" "Wait!" "I don't understand." "Do we both have to go then?" "No, that's the matter." "The city is completely blocked." "The only way to get out is in the German staff train." "They don't take women." " So you mean, you want to go alone?" "No, I don't want that." "But it's the only way." "Please understand." "It's a catastrophe." "The train is leaving in one and a half hour." "You decide." "And as soon as possible." "In one and a half hour?" "And as soon as possible." "Then I have decided... go!" "You are a clever girl." "I always said so." "What else did I want to say?" "Ah, yes... that you are a clever girl." "But I have already said so...." " So how long you will be gone?" " Only a couple of months, no more." "I will wait out this mess in Berlin." "And when the Getman comes back..." " What if he never comes back?" " That's impossible." "Europe needs Ukraine with the Getman to shield it from Moscow Bolshevicks." " You see, I thought of everything!" " I see..." "But how can you?" "The Getman is still here." "They are gathering military forces." "And you, in front of everyone, are running away?" "Is it decent?" "Colonels of the Headquarters do not run away." "They go on a business trip." "In my pocket there is an order... from the Getman HQ to immediately depart for Berlin." "Not a bad arrangement..." "don't you think?" "Not bad at all..." "But what will happen to all of them?" "Well, let me thank you for putting me on the same level with everybody." "I am not everybody." " At least warn the brothers." " Of course, of course..." "I am even glad that I am going alone for such a long time." "At least you will guard our apartment." "Vladimir Robertovich, you are talking about my brothers!" "Do you think they will throw us out?" "You have no right to say such things!" "Of course not." "But you know the saying" ""He who goes hunting, loses the place"..." "And another thing..." "The last one." "Without me being here, that Shervinsky will be visiting again." " He also visits when you are here." " Regretfully." " You see, my dear, I don't like him." " Why, may I ask?" "His attentions to you are too much." "And I would like..." " What exactly would you like?" "Well, I cannot be so blunt." "But you are... a clever woman, you were brought up very well, so you must understand how to behave as to not compromise the Talberg's family name." "Very well." "I will not compromise the Talberg's family name." "I am not saying that you can be unfaithful." "I know very well that it cannot happen." "Why do you think, Vladimir Robertovich that it cannot happen?" "Elena, Elena, Elena..." "I don't recognize you!" "A married woman!" "And to be unfaithful!" "It's 10:15 pm." "I am late." "Please hurry up." "Get me a suitcase with clothes." "You have one minute." " At least say good-bye to my brothers." " Of course." "Alyosha!" "Yes, Lenochka." "Ah..." "Hello, Volodya?" " Hello, Alyosha." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "Well." "I have to inform you of a very important thing." "Tonight the Getman's situation has become very serious." " I see..." "Yes, very-very serious." "What happened?" "It's very possible that Germans will withdraw their support." "And we will have to fight Petlura all by ourselves." " Is that true?" " Yes, very possible." "Well..." "Thank you for telling me." " Since I am going on a business trip...." " Where to, if it is not a secret?" "To Berlin." "I tried very hard, but could not get out of it." "So allow me to wish you all the best." "What does it mean?" " It means I don't like your business trip." " Colonel Turbin!" "Yes, Colonel Talberg!" "You will answer me for this, Mr Brother-of-my-wife!" " Any time you want, Mr. Talberg." "When?" " When?" "It's a quarter to 11." "When I get back." "God knows what will happen by the time you come back." "You!" "You!" "I wanted to have a word with you for a long time!" "Nikolka!" "Do not upset your wife, Mr. Talberg!" " What were you talking about?" " Nothing, Lenochka." " Nothing, my dear." "Well, good-bye, Alyosha." " Good-bye, Volodya." "Nikolka!" "Nikolka!" "Here I am." "Oh, he is finally here." "Volodya is going on a business trip." "Please say Good-Bye." "Have a nice trip, Colonel, sir." "Lena here is money." "I will send more from Berlin." "It's time." "He is bargaining with the driver..." "Alyosha, you know, I noticed that he looks like a rat!" "You are absolutely right." "And our home looks like a ship." "Go and entertain out guests." "Go, go..." "My whole division will die like nothing..." " You have such an open, friendly face." " A-a-ah!" "Oh my God, are you hurt?" "What is happening to me..." "Very serious." "Serious, very, very serious." "Rats!" " He has left." "Left." " Who has left?" "You scared me, Shervinsky!" "How did you get in?" "Your door is open." "I wish you good health, Elena Vasilievna." "How many times have I told you, Leonid Yurevich, not to do this?" "I feel bad that you are wasting your money." "Money is there to be wasted, as said..." "Karl Marx." " May I take off my coat?" " What if I say no?" "Then I will wear it all night long sitting at your feet." " Army compliments now, Shervinsky" " Sorry?" "A Guardsman's compliment!" " Hello, Studzinsky!" " Leonid Yurevich!" "We all have to fight!" " Aleksandr, I am so glad to see you." " Elena, my respects to you." "Where is the Colonel?" " In his office." "We all have to fight." "If Petlura comes tomorrow, we have to fight." "We have to go to Alexey's division." "Excellent division." "Mishloevsky went to that stupid squad to that stupid defense line of General Belorukov." "Stupid." "Rushed to be a hero." "And where is he now?" "Devil knows!" "Maybe he even got killed, there in Slobodka." " Mishloevsky is here." " Here?" " Victor, you are alive!" " Oh, my respects to you, Commander." "What's with this turban?" "Thank God." "I will go and see the Commander now." " Captain Studzinsky, may I?" " Please do come in." "Most welcome." " Colonel, sir, may I come in?" "I am so happy to see you." "It's been such a long time." "If I am not mistaken, you were here just yesterday." "Elena, what does it mean, yesterday, in current times?" "So who has left?" " Vladimir Robertovich." " But he was supposed to come back today!" " He did and then he has left again." " Where to?" " Such beautiful roses." " Where to?" " To Berlin." "To Berlin?" "And for how long, may I ask?" " For two months." " For two months?" "!" "It's so sad." "Sad." "I am very upset." "Very upset." "Shervinsky, it's the fifth time you are kissing my hand!" "But..." "I am so upset..." "Oh my God..." "It means..." "It's Shervinsky!" "Sing "Demon"!" "He is far away, he will not know..." "The only good thing you have is your voice." "And your vocation is career in opera." "Yes, I do have something to work with." "Once I was singing "Epithalamia"." "There is a high "F" note, as you know, but I took "A" and held it for nine measures." " For how long?" "For seven... measures." "Why don't you believe me?" "The Duchess Gendrikh was there." "After that "A" note, she fell in love with me." " And then what happened?" " And then she poisoned herself." "With potassium cyanide." "Really, it is illness, Shervinsky!" "Come to the table." "Gentlemen, please come to the table." "Please allow me to introduce our Senior Officer, Captain Studzinsky." "And here is Monsieur Surzhansky." "We took a bath together." "Our cousin from Zhitomir." " Glad to meet you." "Her Majesty Life-Guards Uhlan Regiment and Personal Getman's aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Shervinsky!" "Extremely pleased to meet you." "Don't be so scared." "Ex-Life of Ex-Guards of Ex-Regiment..." " Please come to the table, Gentlemen." " Yes, it's already midnight." "Oh, what a splendour!" "What is the reason for this feast, if I may ask?" "The last supper of the division." "Tomorrow we are setting off." "Where may I sit?" " Wherever you wish, gentlemen." " And so he has gone and you have stayed." " Silence, Shervinsky." " Lena, vodka?" " No." " White wine then?" " May I pour you some, Colonel?" " Merci." "And for yourself, please." "Your glass, allow me?" "I don't drink vodka, really..." "Then how are you going to eat herring without vodka," "I absolutely don't understand." "I also don't drink, but just one glass!" "Very much obliged..." "Yes, it's been a long time since I drank vodka." " Gentlemen, let's drink to Health of Elena Vasilievna!" "Hurrah!" " Hurrah!" "Be quiet, Gentlemen, be quiet!" "You will wake up the whole street." "They are already saying that we have parties every night." " Vodka is so refreshing, don't you think?" " Yes, very much so." " Please, I beg you, one more glass." " Victor, slow down." "Tomorrow we are taking off." "So what!" "Please do tell us, any news on the Getman?" " Yes, what about the Getman?" " Everything is fine." "What a dinner they served yesterday in the Palace, gentlemen!" "200 people, hazel-hens," "Getman was wearing the National costume..." "They say Germans are abandoning us completely." "Don't believe any rumors, Elena Vasilievna." "Thank you very much, much-esteemed Victor Victorovich, but I don't drink vodka, really..." "Shame on you, Larion!" " Shame on you..." " Shame on you..." "Very much obliged." "Nikolka, easier with vodka." "My apologies, Colonel, sir." "Then, white wine please...." "You topple it over so artfully, Victor Victorovich..." "Requires a lot of exercise..." " Thank you, Captain." "More salad?" " Thank you." "Golden Lena, drink white wine, my Sunshine, my red-haired Lena." "I know why you look so upset." "Forget it, Lena." " It's all for the best." " Drink your glass, Lena." "Who this glass is for - Who will drink some more " "It's for darling Elena Vasilievna." "It's for darling Elena Vasilievna." "Lenochka, sweetie, drink this wine, Drink this wine..." "Lenochka, sweetie, drink this wine, Drink this wine..." "Drink it all, Lenochka." "Drink it all, Lenochka." "Drink it all!" "Bravo, Lena!" "Oh." "God, what are they doing up there!" "It's three in the morning!" " I will file a complaint!" " Finally!" "You look beautiful today, Lena." "And this coat becomes you so." "Gentlemen, please have a look at this coat." "It's absolutely grey." "It's a dress, Vitya." "And it's not grey." "It's green." "Who cares!" "Gentlemen, pay attention!" "Isn't she a beautiful woman?" "Elena Vasilievna is very beautiful." "To your health, Elena." "Lena, darling, may I hug and kiss you!" " Victor, stop it." " Leonid, get lost." "She is a married woman, and not to you." " I won't allow it!" " It's okay, I'm her childhood friend." " You're not her childhood friend, but a swine." "Gentlemen, let's drink to Health of the Commander of our Division!" "Hurrah!" " I am sorry, gentlemen, I am just a civilian." " It's all right, Larion." "That's right." "Much-esteemed Elena Vasilievna," "I cannot express how much I like it here." " Very glad to hear that." "My dear Alexey Vasilievich," "I cannot express how much I like it here." " Very glad to hear that." "Gentlemen!" "Behind these ivory drapes our souls can dwell in peace." "We can forget about the horrors of the Civil war." "And our torn souls so yearn for quiet days!" "May I ask, if you, by any chance, write poetry?" "Yes, I do write poetry." " So sorry to interrupt." "Prey continue..." "These ivory drapes shield us from the whole world..." "But I am not a military man..." "Pour me one more glass!" "Bravo, Larion!" "And you were saying that you don't drink!" "Sly!" "You are such a sweet person, Larion." "But very bad at speeches." "I disagree, Victor Victorovich." "I gave many speeches in the company of colleagues of my late father, back in Zhitomir." "Well, the tax inspectors..." "Those used to scold me, too." "Tax inspectors are curious beasts." "Fight!" "I want to fight, immediately!" "Night was so young and the night sky was ours" "Town was quiet and quiet remained." "Nightingale's song and the scent of spring flowers" "Slowly drove us completely insane." "Dawn sprinkled dew in the garden all over" "Lake was so deep and the waters - so dark." "And how we were naive at that moment " "Gods only knew;" "and we were so young..." "Time's flown by;" "now snow is falling" "Hair turned gray;" "it's our winter's first frost." "When it's so empty, so dark in the morning" "What will remind us of what we have lost?" "When storm is raging in your darkest hours" "When wind is strong, trying hard to subdue." "Nightingale's song and the scent of spring flowers" "Try to remember and help me to do..." " Please just don't scorn me..." " Do you think we are some barbarians?" "It's your tax inspectors from Zhitomir who scared you so." "Here we are all very peaceful people." "Don't worry." "Everything will be okay." "These ivory drapes make life so nice..." "Poets are always made fun of..." "Not at all, Larion." "Don't take my question the wrong way." "I have nothing against poets." "Although I don't read poetry..." " Including any other books, except the Artillery Regulations and first 15 pages of the Roman Law." "On the 16th page the war started and he gave up..." "Don't listen to him, Larion!" "Let me tell you, I have read "War and Piece"," "That is a book!" "I read all of it, with pleasure." "And why, you ask?" "Because it was written by an artillery officer and not by some fool." " Pass..." "He was a real writer, Count Leo Tolstoy, First Lieutenant of Artillery Unit." " Two diamonds..." " Pass..." " It's a pity he gave up his military career." "Could have become a general some day." "Three spades..." "Though he had an estate." "Anyone can write a novel if bored enough." "Nothing to do in winters." " Yes, with an estate it's easy." "Pass..." " Three diamonds." " Pass, pass..." "If three diamonds and... if no trump card..." "Four diamonds." " Then spades." "Excellent, Larion!" " Pass, pass..." "I will challenge you." "Why the hell have you trumped my Dame, Larion!" "Wow, that's something, you lost one hand!" " I thought Aleksandr had a King..." " A King, he thought!" "He is looking for piece and quiet!" "And to lose a Dame like that?" "Is that supposed to be piece and quiet?" "It's a card game." "You have to think with your head!" "And not about poetry!" "Calm down." "He might be right." "Aleksandr..." "Right?" "Nothing is right!" "It's nonsense!" "Maybe in Zhitomir you can play like that, but it's complete rubbish!" "Pushkin or Lomonosov, though also poets, would never had played like this!" "Calm down." "Leave him alone." "Can happen to anyone." "Gentlemen, quiet please..." "Or Nadson, for example." "I am surprised they can get away with everything so easily." "I was sure one of them will end up killed, but no, all came back." "I am surprised at you!" "You know very well that what they are doing is the right thing!" "Somebody has to defend the city from those scoundrels, from Petlura!" "I didn't say anything." "I only said that they get away with everything." "Please tell me, Magician, the favorite of Gods," "What fate for my life Gods declared?" "And how soon, for my enemy's joy," "Will my burial place be prepared?" "Keep music loud!" "We'll be victorious!" "All our enemies will run away," "Will run away!" "Long Live the Tsar!" " Careful, careful, gentlemen..." "And all together we cry - Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "It is so much fun here, Elena Vasilievna, darling." "Gentlemen!" "A toast to the Health of His Excellency, the Getman of Ukraine..." "I decline." "I will fight tomorrow, but I won't drink to this!" "And I would advise any officer to do the same." " Captain!" "Very unexpected development..." "Because of him, of that devil, I've got frostbites on my feet..." "Colonel, do you approve of his toast?" " No, I don't approve." " Colonel, please allow me to say..." " No, please allow me to say!" " No, please allow me to say!" "To Elena Vasilievna and her much-esteemed husband who has departed for Berlin!" "Exactly!" "Right on spot, Larion!" "I am so sorry, Elena Vasilievna." "I am just a civilian." " It's all right, Larion." "You are a very sweet person." "Come and sit next to me." " Oh, no!" "Elena, it's the red wine!" " Salt!" "Put some salt on it!" " Your precious Getman!" " One moment, gentlemen." "What for, really, is he just using us?" "If only your Getman would have put his efforts into forming the Army, instead of that circus with Ukrainian nationalization, then Petlura wouldn't even be here." "Furthermore, we could have even squashed Bolsheviks like flies in Moscow.." "That bastard could have saved Russia!" "Germans would've never allowed to form Army." "They are afraid of it." "It's not true." "We should have explained to Germans, that we are not a threat to them anymore." "We have a much bigger problem than war, Germans or anything else." "We have Bolsheviks!" "We should have told Germans - "What do you need?" "Bread?" "Sugar?" "Take it!" "Take everything!" "But help us!" "For our peasants not to contract the Moscow illness"." "Now it's too late!" "Now our officers are spending their time in cafés!" "Café army!" "Try to conscript any officer into the Army!" "He won't go." "The devil has pocket full of German money." "He is sitting in a cafe, together with all this Guard Staff horde." "Fine, so now they have given the command of a division to Colonel Turbin." ""Go!" "Hurry up!" "Form the division!" "Do it!" "Petlura is coming!" Fine." "And yesterday I took a look at my division." "And for the first time, my word, my heart just stopped." "Alyosha, darling." "Your heart is the heart of an artillery officer." "A toast to your health!" "Yes, my heart stopped." "For every 100 of cadets, I've got 120 of students!" "They hold a rifle as if it was a shovel." "And yesterday, on the drill ground... it was snowing... fog in the distance... and suddenly I imagined seeing a coffin." "Alyosha, don't say such awful things!" "Please don't!" "Please don't be upset, Colonel!" "We won't give up!" "If only we could have foreseen it all!" "Who is Petlura after all?" "He is a myth, a fog." "He does not exist at all." "Look at the window, what do you see?" "You see snowstorm, some shadows..." "In Russia there are only two real forces – Bolsheviks and us." "We shall meet." "I foresee horrible times." "We won't be able to stop Petlura." "But Petlura's time is not for long." "However, Bolshevicks will come after him." "That's why I am so afraid, but still going out there." "Because when we finally meet them, everything will heat up..." "Either we will bury them, or..." "most probably... they will bury us..." "I drink to this meeting, gentlemen!" " Lariosik, what's wrong with you?" " Larion?" "Larion, who upset you?" " I got scared." " Of whom?" "Of Bolsheviks?" "We will show them!" " Victor, what are you doing?" " The Mauser is loaded, gentlemen." " Take it from him." " Captain, sit down immediately!" "Have you gone mad?" "Sit down this instant!" "It's my fault, gentlemen." "What, I am in the company of Bolsheviks now?" " Victor, don't drink anymore, please." " Silence!" "He is so wasted." "It's my fault, gentlemen." "Don't listen to me." "I am just upset." "Not at all, Colonel." "We understand what you are saying." "And we share your views." "We will always defend The Russian Impire!" "Long Live Russia!" "Let me say something here." "You misunderstood me." "The Getman plans exactly what you propose." "After we defeat Petlura, and then after our Allies help us to defeat Bolsheviks..." "Then Getman will put Ukraine to His Majesty's feet, the Emperor of Russia, Nikolay Aleksandrovich." "Which Emperor?" "And he says it's me who is wasted." "The Emperor was killed!" "Gentlemen, the rumors about the death of His Imperial Majesty were a little bit exaggerated..." " Victor, you are an Officer!" " Gentlemen, please let him speak!" "The rumors about the death of His Imperial Majesty were planted by Bolsheviks!" "You know what happened during the Getman's visit to the Emperor Wilhelm?" "Emperor Wilhelm said "Furthermore you will be speaking to..."" "And then a door opened and Our Majesty came in." "And he said, "My loyal Officers, go to Ukraine and form the Army!" "At the right moment, I will personally lead you to the heart of Russia, to Moscow"." "And he shed a tear." "He was killed!" " Shervinsky, is it true?" " Elena!" "First Lieutenant, it's a legend." "I have already heard it." "So what?" "If the Emperor is dead..." "Long Live The Emperor!" "Hurrah!" "Peter the Third!" "What did he do to them?" "He was the one who put the end to the war!" "And what?" "His own Noble Subject hit the Tsar on the face with a bottle!" "And Pavel Petrovich?" "He was hit on the head with a cigar-holder!" "And the one, with sideburns, don't remember his name, he was a pretty one, they castrated him!" "Alyosha!" "I don't feel good, my brothers!" " He is sick!" " Captain is sick!" " Alyosha!" "Take him to the bathroom." "I'll go and see how he is..." "Elena, don't..." "Gentlemen, Gentlemen..." "So much smoke." "Chaos..." "Lariosik, Lariosik." "Please don't wake him up." "I am too drunk." "And all because of you." "Oh my God, I cannot even walk." "Please take a sit, here..." "May I sit next to you?" " Yes, sit." "Shervinsky, what will happen to us?" "How will it end?" "I had a bad dream." "Lately it's getting worse and worse." "Everything will be all right, Elena." "Don't believe in dreams." "No, my dream is a prophecy." "We all are on the ship to America." "And we are sitting in the hold of the ship." "And a big storm hits us." "It's so windy," "so cold." "Waves..." "And we are in the hold." "And the water is rising all the way to our feet." "We climb up." "Suddenly there are rats, such disgusting, such a big ones." "And it was so scary, that I woke up." " You know, Elena, he won't come back." " Who?" " Your husband." "Leonid, it's outrageous!" "It's not your business if he comes back or not!" " Yes, it's my business." "I love you." " So what?" "Love quietly, in silence!" "I don't want to!" "I am tired of it!" "Wait a second..." "Why did you mention my husband when I was telling you about rats?" "Because he looks like one!" "You are such a swine, Leonid!" " First of all, he does not look like a rat!" " He looks exactly like a rat." "Very, very nice to tell bad things about a person behind his back, and especially to his wife!" " How can you be his wife?" " How do you mean?" "Just look at yourself in the mirror." "You are intelligent, beautiful." "You are an intellectual." "You are perfect." "You play piano beautifully." "Next to you he is a coat hanger!" "Careerist!" " Behind his back..." "Excellent..." "I will say that to his face too!" "I wanted to for a long time." "I will tell him and challenge him to a duel." "You are unhappy with him." " Who I will be happy with then?" " With me." " You are not good enough." " Why not?" " What qualities do you have?" " Just look closer." "Well, aide-de-camp's trinkets, cute and has a voice." "Nothing else." "I knew that!" "Everyone says the same thing." "Shervinsky is an aide-de-camp!" "Shervinsky is a singer!" "But no one cares if Shervinsky has a soul!" "That he lives like a homeless dog." "And nobody cares about him..." " Shameless Lovelace!" "I know all about your affairs!" "You say that to all women." "Even to that one..." "tall, painted lips." "She is not tall." "She is a mezzo-soprano." "I never told her anything like that!" "And never will!" "It's not nice, Lena." "You are not nice to me, Lena!" "To call me Lena is too familiar." "Fine." "You are not nice to me, Elena Vasilievna." "You have no feelings for me!" "Unfortunately, I like you." "So you like me!" "You don't love your husband, do you?" " Yes, I do love him." " Lena, don't lie to me." "A woman who loves her husband has different eyes." "I have seen eyes of many women." "You can read everything in those eyes." "Yes, you have a lot of experience, of course." " Lena, how could he leave you like that?" " You would've done exactly the same." "I?" "Never!" "It's shameful." "Please admit that you don't really love him." "Fine." "I don't love him and I don't respect him." "Are you happy now?" "But it does not mean anything." "Please keep your hands away from me." " Why did you kiss me then?" " It's a lie." "I never kissed you." "You are a liar with aiguillette." " I am lying?" "I am lying?" "At the piano." "I was singing "God Almighty"." "We were alone." "I even remember the date." "It was November 3rd." "We were alone." "And you kissed me." "Because of your voice." "It was a motherly kiss." "Because you have a wonderful voice." "And nothing else." "And nothing else?" "It's a torture." "Plates are dirty." "All are drunk." "And my husband is gone." "And lights are everywhere." " Lights we will turn off." "Is it better, Lena?" "Lena, I love you very much." "I will never let you go." "You will be my wife." "He is like a snake." "I am not a snake." "Uses every moment to seduce me." "You won't get anywhere." "I am not going to ruin my life because of you." "What if you turn out to be even worse?" " You are so beautiful, Lena." "Leave me alone." "I am drunk." "You did it on purpose." "You are a known scoundrel." "Our whole life is in ruins." "All is crushing down." "Lena, don't worry." "I will never leave you in a difficult moment." "I always will be with you." "Please let me go." "I am afraid to compromise the Talberg's family name." "Please leave him and marry me." "You will divorce him, won't you?" "Ah, I don't care anymore." " Please don't kiss." "Or I am going to throw up." " Oh my God, let me go." " Young man, you did not see anything!" " No, I saw." "How do you mean?" "If you have a King, then don't touch the Dame." "Don't touch!" " I did not play cards with you." " Yes, you did." "He is completely wasted." "I wonder what my mom will say when I die..." "Completely wasted." "I told you." "I am a civilian." "I cannot drink so much vodca." "Night and day!" "No peace!" "It's impossible." "The only way out is to refuse them the rent." "But you never know who will move in then." "Times are terrible now." "And here are military officers." "They will defend us if something happens." "Too much sorrow you are bringing us, Holy Mother." "What for?" "You took our Father, our Mother." "I don't have a husband anymore and never will." "I understand that now." "How are we going to live?" "Maybe we are bad people?" "But why punish us so harshly?" "All are guilty." "Blood is everywhere." "Please don't punish us." "Please." "Look around and see what is happening!" "What is happening!" "You are my only hope, Holy Mother." "Please ask Your Son for forgiveness." "Holy Mother, please take pity on us." "Don't take my brothers." "Please beg the Holy Father to send us a miracle." "Kiev was full of White Guards including local and the ones who were running away from Bolsheviks from all parts of Russia." "But hungry workers and landless peasants were even in bigger numbers."

"I address German government through you with the following statement:" ""Ukraine is in mortal danger." "I ask to send immediately more troops to bring order to Ukraine, the country that is so friendly to Germany"." "Unfortunately, the German Command cannot do that." " How could it be?" "Why?" " It's physically impossible." "The German Command is taking the troops back to Germany immediately!" " Bastards!" " It's impossible to stop Petlura." "Lieutenant, I ask you to underline this phrase in the protocol!" " Yes, Sir!" "No objections." "Feel free to underline." "So, it means you are completely abandoning my army, my government and me?" "Not at all." "We are taking measures for your protection, Your Excellency." "To the train immediately and off to Germany!" "I don't agree." "I express my protest to the German government." "I still have enough forces to defend the city." "But the responsibility for capital's destruction will be on..." "I think that the governments of England and France will..." "England!" "France!" "The German government has enough power..." "Is it a threat, General?" "A warning." "Your Excellency does not have any military forces." "Do you know what will happen to you if you are captured?" "There is a sentence out on you, and that sentence is very grave." "I am sorry to say, Your Excellency, but you will be hanged." "I have only 10 tiny minutes." "After that I am relinquishing any responsibility for your life, Your Excellency." "I am going." "Please keep it secret and make no noise." "Oh, no noise." "Don't worry, Your Excellency." "Guard, stand to!" "Quiet all!" "General Fonshradt accidently caught his revolver with his trousers and shot himself in the head." " Where is the Getman?" " Where is the Getman!"

"Careful!" "Faster!" "Open the gates!" "Everything is fine." "Lieutenant, my advice to you - don't stay here too long." "You hear that?" " It's a rapid fire... [running fire...]" " Funny." "A pun." "Exactly, a runaway..." "[running away...]" "I believe you do have a pass for the side exit and German patrol?" "I don't have much time." "No time at all." "The cigar case..." "Should I leave it?" "No, the lackeys will steal it." "It's a historical value after all." "We are not going to burn any papers, except for the list with aide-de-camp's names." "Am I a swine or not?" "No, I am not a swine." "My conscience is clear and calm." "Division?" "Alexey Vasilievich?" "It's Shervinsky on the line." "Alyosha, tell Elena not to leave the house under any circumstances." "Then, listen to me very, very carefully..." "Where is the Commander?" "It's time to go." "A phone call from the Palace came." "The colonel went to the Army HQ." "Is that clear?" "Fedor, what do you think?" "Does this hat become me?" "How come?" "And the razor?" "Will you take it with you or what?" "Yes, in my pocket." "Dear Fedor, please allow me to bestow on you 50 rubles." "Thank you very much." "Please also allow me to shake your honest hand." "Don't be surprised." "I was always a democrat deep in my soul." "I have never been in the Palace." "And I have never been an aide-de-camp either." "I see." " Did he run away?" " Yes." " What a scoundrel!" " Undescibable bandit." "And he abandoned us all like this?" "Sorry." "Drop everything and run." "Run, I am telling you!" "Shervinsky is speaking, that's who." "It was a pleasure talking to you, dear Fedor, but ..." "Fedor, this entire office is now yours!" "A gift from me!" "Think about it." "These drapes can make a wonderful blanket..." "Yes?" "I can't help you." "Drop everything and run." "Fedor is speaking." "Fedor, that's who!"

" I wonder how he looks like." " You'll find out soon enough." "It's very simple." "We will do as ordered." "Hey cadets!" "What's up with you?" "Shake it up!"

"The Division Commander." "All up!" "To the assembly hall for formation!" "Quick!" "Upstairs!" "Colonel, Sir!" "The division is ready for action." "The Senior Officer of the Division of Cavalry General Belorukov," "Captain Studzinsky is reporting." "Thank you, Aleksandr Bronislavovich." "The list of our division." " Here it is." " Is our outpost in Demeevka?" " Yes, Sir." " Get them back." " Yes, sir." "Order them back." "Hey Cadets!" "Good morning, Colonel, sir!" "I order all the officers and the whole division to listen very carefully to everything I have to say now." "Listen, memorize and obey immediately!" "Last night in our situation, the situation of the Russian Army," "I would say in the state situation of Ukraine, dramatic changes have happened." "So I now declare that I dissolve this division." "The fight with Petlura is finished." "I order everyone, including the officers, to take off their shoulder straps and decorations" "and run immediately." "Run and hide at home." "I am done talking." "Obey my orders now!" "Colonel, sir!" "Alexey Vasilievich!" "Alexey!" "Colonel, sir!" " What does it mean?" " Arrest him?" " It's a betrayal!" " Arrest him." " What does it mean?" " Silence!" "Stop this discussion and obey my orders!" "Now!" "What does it mean, Colonel, sir?" "First platoon arrest him!" " Arrest him!" " We don't understand!" " What do you mean, arrest?" "Have you all gone mad?" " He got sold to Petlura!" " Holy Moses!" " I knew it." " Silence!" "What does it mean, Colonel, sir?" " Cadets, follow me!" " What are you doing, gentlemen?" "Arrest him, arrest!" "He betrayed us!" "He sold us to Petlura!" " Colonel, sir, you are under arrest!" " Wait, Lieutenant!" "Let me go, Staff Captain, sir!" "Take your hands off me!" "Arrest him now!" "Cadets, back off!" "Alexey Vasilievich, you see what is happening?" "Back off!" "Back off at once!" "Don't listen to the junior officers!" " What is it?" "Gentlemen!" " Don't listen to the senior officers!" " It's a mutiny!" " Cadets, take your orders from the commander of the Second Battery!" "What are you doing?" " Silence!" " Arrest him!" "Silence!" "I will speak!" "There is nothing to say." "We don't want to listen to you anymore!" "Don't listen to him!" "Let him speak!" "Silence!" "Silence, cadets, calm down!" "Let him speak!" "We won't let him go anywhere." "Put your cadets in line, at once!" "Back in line!" "In Line!" "Now!" "Back in line!" "In Line!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Well..." "What kind of a commander would I be if I had to go into a battle with such a personnel," "God has sent me in your persons." "What is pardonable for a volunteer is not pardonable for you, Lieutenant, sir!" "I thought you all would understand that a disaster happened!" "That your commander is simply ashamed to tell you what has happened." "But I see you are not bright." "Who are you going to defend?" "Answer me!" "Answer when the Commander is asking!" "Who?" "The Getman!" "We promised to defend the Getman!" "The Getman?" "Excellent!" "Last night at 3 am the Getman ran away disguised as a German officer." "While the Lieutenant here is planning to defend the Getman, he is long gone!" "He is on his way to Berlin." "Along with that bastard, the Getman, another bastard has run away too." "His Excellency, the Army Commander, Belorukov!" "So, my friends!" "We not only have nobody to defend, but nobody to take orders from as well!" "Since all the General's Staff has run away too!" " It's a lie!" "A lie?" "Who said... it?" "I take responsibility for every word I say." "Gentlemen, my friends!" "Petlura's cavalry is in the outskirts of the city." "One of you pulled a gun on me?" "He scared me awfully... whippersnapper..." " Colonel, sir!" " Silence!" "I will not lead you!" "Because I will not participate in a buffoonery!" "Especially, since you will pay for this buffoonery with your blood." "And absolutely pointlessly." "All of you." " This cannot be happening!" " Why are you listening to him?" "What is this?" "A meeting?" "Back in line!" " It's a disgrace!" " Go to Hell!" " What are we supposed to do now?" " They have cornered us!" " It's a trap." "You shouted "Forward!" "Forward"!" "And now what?" "Backwards?" "If I find the Getman, I will kill him!" " Get this milksop the hell out of here!" "Cadets!" "Listen!" "If what the Colonel is saying is true, then I will take the command!" "We'll find the troop train!" "Let's go to Don!" "Yes!" "Let's go to Don!" "To General Denikin!" "To Denikin!" " So easy, hem?" " What are you babbling?" " To Don!" " Impossible!" "Alexey Vasilievich, we should leave everything and lead the division to Don." "Captain Studzinsky!" "I will order and you will obey!" "Listen, you!" "You will meet same generals there." " Same cowardly scum!" "That's right." "They will make you fight with your own people." "And when the people break your heads," "Their Excellencies will run away abroad." "I know, the same thing that happens in Kiev happens in Rostov." "Divisions there are without artillery!" "Cadets there are without boots." "But the officers are sitting in cafés!" "Listen to me, my friends," "I, an Officer, was told to lead you into a battle." "But what for?" "For nothing!" "I will not lead you." "And I will not allow you to go either." "White Guard movement is no more." "People are not with us, but against us." "That's it." "It's over." "So I, a cadre ofiicer," "Alexey Turbin, who went through the war with Germans, which testimonies are the captains Studzinsky and Mishlaevsky," "I take responsibility for everything here." "Everything!" "I warn you and because I care about you I am sending you home." "I am done talking." "Remove all your shoulder straps, drop your rifles and run home." "Colonel, sir, allow me to set fire to the school?" "No, I won't allow it." "Colonel, sir, but then Petlura will take the armoury and all the weapons and..." "Yes, he will." "Colonel, sir..." "Alyosha..." "Captain, sir, in 3 hours Petlura will take hundreds of lives." "My only regret is that I with my own life and your life, of course even a more precious one," "cannot stop them from dying." "So please don't bother me anymore with portraits," "artillery guns and rifles..." "Colonel, sir, please accept my personal apology and apologies of other officers whom I couldn't stop from an outrageous outburst." "I accept." "The machine gun!" "Cadets, go home." "Cadets, beat the retreat." "Go home." "Elena Vasilievna, darling," "I am totally at your service." "If you like, I can get dressed and go look for them." "No, no, Lariosik." "You might get killed out there." "We will wait." "Oh my god, look at that glow." "What a horrible dawn." "What is happening there?" "I want to know only one thing." "Where are they?" "Oh God, how terrible the civil war is." "You know what?" "I am a woman." "They won't harm me." "I will go outside and see what's happening." "Elena Vasilievna, I won't let you." "I just won't let you." "What will Alexey Vasilievich tell me?" "He told me not to let you out." "And I gave him my word." " I won't go far." "Elena Vasilievna..." "Just to see what's going on." "I will go myself." "No, don't." "Let's wait." "Your husband did the right thing by leaving." "It was a wise decision." " My husband..." "He will sit out this horrible mess in Berlin and then he will come back..." "Please don't mention my husband's name in this house anymore." "You hear me?" "I won't, Elena Vasilievna." "I always say wrong things at the wrong time." " Maybe you would like some tea?" "I can make it." " No, no need." "Wait!" "Don't open the door just yet." "Ask who is there first." " Who is there?" " It's me, Shervinsky." "Thank God." "What does it mean?" "Is it a catastrophe?" " Petlura has taken the city." " Oh God, how terrible." "Where are they?" "Are they fighting him?" "Don't worry, Elena Vasilievna." "I have warned Alexey Vasilievich." "So everything is all right." "How can it be all right?" "What about the Getman?" "And the army?" "The Getman ran away." "He ran away?" " He abandoned the army?" " Yes." "Commander Belorukov too." " Scoundrels." " Yes, unbelievable." "Bastards!" "Elena Vasilievna, may I hide here?" " Of course." "They will be looking for officers." "I am so happy you are alive... and healthy." "Ah, god dammit." "Concert and all this music." "Just you wait." "If only we meet again, Getman!" "Bastard!" "Alyosha, I did set fire to the armoury." "So Petlura will get big nothing instead of uniforms." "Just don't stay here too long." "Run home." "Just two more bombs and that's it." "Why are you still here?" "Waiting for our patrol to come back." "I cannot do otherwise." "Alyosha, do you have to?" "What are you saying, Captain..." "Then I will stay with you." "Why do I need you here, Victor?" "Have you gone mad, all of you?" "Are you going to obey my orders or not!" "I order you to go to Elena now!" "Protect her." "I will follow you soon." "All right." "Let's go to Elena." "And did Nikolka leave?" "Get him out of here for God's sake!" "All right." "Alyosha, don't risk your life." " Don't teach a fish to swim..." "And when on a white staircase we will be led into the blue heavens..." "It's serious." "Very serious..." "Very..." "I hope the patrol doesn't get caught..." "Alyosha!" "What are you, playing jokes with me?" "Immediately go home!" " I will not leave without you, Colonel." " What?" "!" "Sure, go ahead and shoot your own brother." "Blockhead." "Sure, go ahead and yell at your own brother." "I know what you are doing here." "You are waiting for your death to free you from disgrace, Commander." "Well, I will watch over you then." "Or Elena will kill me." "Take your shoulder straps off!" "Hey, anyone!" "Come and get Cadet Turbin!" "Captain Studzinsky!" "Mishloevsky!" "Hey, anybody!" "Everyone is gone." "Just you wait, villain." "I'll deal with you at home." "It's ours!" " Thank God!" "But where are Alyosha and Nikolka?" " Calm down, Lena." "The streets are still empty." "Don't be afraid of anything." "The patrol will cover them on the way home." " I see you already know everything." " Yes, everything." "Germans!" "How could they?" "It's okay." "One day we will remind them..." "Warm yourselves up." "Take your clothes off." "Hello, Larion." "You see, Vitya, horrible events are happening now..." "Yes, events are of the first class..." "Go get warm." "I'll go and make some tea." " Can I help, Lena?" " Thank you, but I manage." "How do you do, the Personal Adjutant to the Getman?" "How come you are not wearing your aiguillette now?" ""My loyal Officers, go to Ukraine and form the Army!"" ""And then he cried..."" "Son of the bitch!" "What does this mocking tone of voice mean?" "Because this whole thing is a farce." "That's why." "You promised us His Majesty the Emperor, and you drank to the Health of His Excellency, the Getman." " By the way, where is His Excellency now?" " Why do you need to know?" "I'll tell you why." "If I could get my hands on His Excellency right now," "I would hold him by his feet and hit his head on the road until I get full satisfaction." "And all your HQ trash should be drowned in the toilet." "Mister Mishloevsky, I will ask you to remember whom you are talking to!" " Bastards!" " How dare you!" "Please don't quarrel!" "As your senior officer, I order you to stop this conversation immediately!" "It's ridiculous and won't lead anywhere!" "Why are you picking on him?" "Lieutenant, please calm down." "The behavior of Captain Mishloevsky has lately become intolerable." "And it's outrageous!" "I was the one who warned you all." "If not for me, he might not be sitting here alive." "You are absolutely right, Lieutenant." "And we are very grateful to you." "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "Elena Vasilievna, don't worry." "Everything will be all right." "I promise you." "Go to your room." "Victor, apologize right this moment!" "Apologize!" "You have no right." "Well, bariton, don't sweat it." "I just got worked up." "You know, it's all such a disgrace." "You understand." "Come on, Leonid." "Stop it." "Well, it all is quite strange." "Stop it." "We have other problems now." "Where are Alyosha and Nikolka after all?" "I am worried too." "So, were you there when he ran away?" "Yes, I was there till the last moment." "Must have been an excellent sight." "I would give anything to be there." "Why didn't you shoot him like the dog he is?" "You go and shoot him." "I would have, my word to you." "So did he say anything to you as his last farewell?" "Yes, he did." "He hugged me, thanked me for my loyal service and and then he cried..." " Yes!" "And then he cried!" " Really!" "Quite interesting." "Maybe he even gave you a present to remember him by?" "For example, his golden cigar case with his personal monogram?" "Yes, he presented me with his cigar case..." "Damn, look at him." "I am sorry, Leonid, I don't want to offend you..." "You are not a bad person, Leonid, but you have one weakness..." " What do you mean?" "!" "Well, how can I put it..." "You should be a writer." "You have imagination for it." ""And then he cried..."" "And what if I ask you to show us his cigar case now?" "You killed us all." "Really, this is his monogram." "So what do you have to say now, Captain Mishloevsky?" "At once." "In your presence, gentlemen, I apologize to him." "I have never seen anything so beautiful." "Must weigh a pound." "84 gold pieces." "Should I open?" "No, Elena Vasilievna, wait." "From now on I will be opening the door." " We'll go together." "Do you have an ID?" "I have two - an old passport and a student ID." "Passport you can forget about, but get your student ID ready." "They can wait." "This is bad." "I am surprised at you." "You should be more careful." "Gentlemen, we should throw away all the guns." "Don't worry, Bariton, will do!" "Larion, go to the window." "If it's Petlura's archangels, I'll cough." "You will throw it outside, but so that I can find it later." "This thing is precious, it went with me to Warsaw." "Don't worry, Vitya." "The Student lives here." "You, Singer, you are just visiting." "And you, Aleksandr Borislavovich, are a military doctor." "After typhoid fever, brother and so on..." "Is there anything in the pockets?" "Well, God save us all." " Who is there?" " A telegram for you!" "Please sign." "Lena!" "Aleksandr Bronislavovich, give me a pencil." "And please give him 25 roubles." "Thank you very much." "Knocking and knocking..." "Talberg or Turbina." "I am sending you Lariosik..." "Oh my God!" "Here it is!" "My mom's telegram from Zhitomir." "With 63 words!" " Ah!" " I apologize, Larion, for starting to read it out loud." "The door!" "That's worse." " Who is there?" " It's me, Lisovich." "It's Lisovich!" "It's me, Lisovich." "Oh my god!" "What is happening!" "In broad daylight..." "They came in and took everything!" " Larion, water!" "I signed..." "a note saying... it's a receipt from the HQ for everything that's been taken during the search." "Everything I earned with hard work!" "Those were not from the Headquarters!" "Not the Army, Vasya!" "Those were the bandits!" "It's all gone." "It's the Petlura's bandits." "Oh my God, what have they done to us?" " They threatened to kill me..." " Everyone has problems now..." " It's the patrol!" " Yes." "Cadets!" "Petlura's cavalry is just behind us!" "Listen to my order!" "Run!" "Use the back entrance!" "I will cover you!" "Take off your shoulder straps as you run!" "Run!" "I beg you!" "Take pity on Lena!" "Colonel, sir!" "Alyosha!" "Alyosha, what have you done?" "!" "Corporal Turbin quit trying to be a hero dammit." "Colonel, sir!" "This cannot be true." "Alyosha, get up!" "Here he is!" "Take him down!" "No, take him alive!" "Alive, take him alive, I said!" "I won't let you take me, criminals!" "You, bandits!" "I won't!" "I can't forgive myself." " Gentlemen!" "I don't like tricks." "Why not the door?" " What the devil!" " I won't forgive myself." " Oh my god." "Elena Vasilievna!" " Where are you going?" "Dammit!" "Are you mad?" "How can you?" "Take Elena away!" "Take her somewhere!" "Oh, my God!" "Where is Alyosha?" "I deserve to be killed!" "Put him down right on the floor." " Better put him there." " Not on the floor, really!" "Larion, get a pillow." "There is blood in his boot." "Take off the boots." "Look for wounds." "Cut the boot!" "There are bandages in Alexey Vasilievich's study." "Get the alcohol too!" "Oh my God, how did he get caught?" "Is he dying?" "Just tell me one thing." "Where is Alyosha?" " Where is Alexey Vasilievich?" "Gentlemen!" "What?" "Elena, don't worry." "He just fell down and hit his head." "Nothing too bad." "He is wounded." "What are you saying." "Where is Alexey?" "Where is Alexey?" "Alexey, where is he?" "You were with him." "Just answer me." "Where is Alexey?" "What are we going to do?" "This cannot be happening..." "Cannot be happening." "Why are you not answering me?" "Lenochka..." "Wait..." "Only don't lie to me." "Don't lie..." " Elena." "Elena Vasilievna." " Elena, come on." " It's clear." "Alexey is killed." " No, Elena, why do you think that?" "Just look at his face." "Look!" "But what is the face for me?" "Ah, I knew it!" "I could feel it." "Right when he was going away," "I knew this would end up like this." "Just tell me - what happened to him?" "Water!" "Larion, they killed Alyosha." "Larion, Alyosha is killed." "Do you remember, just yesterday you were sitting at the table with him?" " Elena Vasilievna, darling." " And now he is dead." "And you, senior officers!" "Senior officers..." "You all came back home!" "And your commander is dead?" "Elena, take pity on us!" "What are you saying?" "We all followed his orders!" "All of us!" "No, she is absolutely right." "It's all my fault." "I should not have left him." "I am the senior officer." "And I will redeem my mistake." "What?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Take your hands off me!" " Stop!" "What, are you leaving me alone?" "It's not your fault!" "I was the last person who saw him." "I warned him!" "And I followed his orders!" "Lena!" "Captain Mishloevsky, let go of me immediately!" "Give me your gun!" "Shervinsky!" "You can't do this!" "Do you want to make it worse?" "You have no right!" "Lena, order him to stop!" "It's all because of what you said." "Take his gun." "It's my grief talking." "I went insane." "Please give me your gun." "Nobody has the right to reproach me!" "Nobody!" "I followed all Colonel Turbin's orders!" "Nobody..." "Nobody..." "I have gone mad." "Nikolka, tell us everything." "Elena, be strong." "We will find him!" "We will find him!" "Tell us everything." "Our commander is dead."

"The Red Army is coming, it's right over those hills!" " What is he saying?" "The Red Army is coming!" " He is a Bolshevik!" "He is with the Red Army." "Comrades, we have a new task now!" "We need to uphold and support our new Republic - the Republic of workers and peasants." " He called us comrades?" " Be quiet, you, quiet!" "Comrades, you water your land with your blood and sweat!" "So you should own it!" "Long Live our Ukraine!"

"Did you see how quickly they got rid of him?" "If only I ever meet that scoundrel again, the Getman, I will...!" "Well, now we can breath easier..." "The only thing I can say, Aleksandr Bronislavovich..." "Did you see how Bolsheviks are taking over the city?" "Professionally!" "Quietly and in a good taste!" " If we don't get drunk, I might hang myself." " That's an idea." "And they are brave!" "That's why I like them!" "For their bravery!" "How much money have you got?" " 200." " I have 150." "Shall we go in and get something?" " But it's closed." " They will let us in." "I think it's..." "What?" "No, I am mistaken." "Elena Vasilievna, I assure you, this is the end." "They will take the city." "Don't rush, Lariosik." "Everything might change at the last moment." "But it's a sure thing." "No sound of guns." "I have to confess, Elena Vasilievna, that during the last two months" "I am completely fed up with the sounds of fighting." "I don't like..." " I agree with you." " I think this will go nicely right here..." "Please get down, Lariosik!" "I am afraid that you might fall down." "Not at all." "Now it's a perfect Christmas tree." "Nobody can say it's not pretty." "Ah Elena Vasilievna, if only you knew, this Christmas tree reminds me of my childhood in Zhitomir!" "Christmas trees, lights everywhere..." "But I like it the best here, than when I was a child." "I would stay here forever and never leave." "I would stay here all my life at your feet..." "You would get bored!" "You are such a poet, Larion!" "I am not a poet, dammit!" "Oh, I am so sorry, Elena Vasilievna." "Please read me your new poems!" "Please!" "I like your poems very much." "You really have a talent." " Do you mean that?" " Absolutely." "All right, then I will read one poem to you." "It's dedicated to... well, it's dedicated to..." " Who is it dedicated to?" " No, I won't read you this poem..." " Why?" "What for?" " Who is it dedicated to?" " To this woman..." "Is it a secret?" "Yes, it's a secret." "It's dedicated to you." "Thank you, my darling boy." "What can I do with a "Thank you"?" "You can't make a uniform out of it..." "Oh, I am sorry, Elena, Victor Mishloevsky is rubbing off on me." "These phrases just started to jump out." "I see." "I think you are in love with Victor Mishloevsky." "No, I am in love with you." "Please don't be in love with me." "You know what?" "Please marry me!" "You are a sweet boy, but it's impossible." "But he is not coming back!" "And how you are going to live, all alone?" "Without any help and support?" "Though, what kind of support am I?" "But I will love you all my life." "You are my ideal!" "He is not coming back." "Especially now, when the Bolsheviks are coming..." "He is not coming back..." "I know he is not coming back." "But it doesn't matter." "Even if he would come back, it's all over between us." "He has been cut off." "I could not look at you after he had left." "My heart was bleeding." "You were an awful sight to look at!" " Did I really look that bad?" " Terrible!" "Awful!" "You were so thin and yellow." " You are exaggerating..." "And now you look so much better!" "Now you are all pink, very pink..." "You are such a unique person, Lariosik." "Come here!" "I will kiss you on your forehead." "If only on my forehead..." " Of course, who can fall in love with me?" " Anyone can." "But I have a romantic affair!" "What?" "You?" "A romantic affair?" " That cannot be!" " Why?" "What, I can't have one?" "You are a saint." "You are..." "But who is he?" "Do I know him?" " Yes, very well." " And I know him very well..." "Wait a second..." "Who is he then?" "Wait a second..." ""Young man, you did not see anything." "If you have a King, then don't touch the Queen"." "And I thought it was just a dream..." " Damn that lucky guy!" " Lariosik, it's not nice." "I am leaving now..." "I am leaving!" "Where are you going?" "Where are you going?" "To get vodka!" "I will get drunk!" "Senselessly drunk!" " I will be your friend!" " Yes, I read all about it in the books!" "I won't let you go!" "Lariosik!" "So friends only?" "That's it?" "It's over." "It's the end." "Please come back as soon as you can." "We are having guests over." " How do you do, Larion?" " Aha, how do you do..." "How do you do, Elena Vasilievna?" "Oh my God, why do you look like this?" "My clothes could look a bit nicer..." "But thank you, Elena Vasilievna, I have already tried that." "I was taking a coach today, and the proletariats were everywhere on the streets like cockroaches..." "And one of them said to me in this sweet voice" ""Look at this Ukrainian lord." "Just you wait till tomorrow." "Tomorrow we will take you down."" "I am a smart person, Elena Vasilievna." "I understood right away that I needed to change clothes." "My congratulations to you." "Petlura is done with!" "Really?" "You don't say!" "Tonight the Red Army will be here." "So now it's a Soviet Republic and etc." "So why are you so happy?" "One might think that you are also a Bolshevick." "Almost..." "And this coat is a loan from my gardener." "It's a very proletariat coat..." " Please take this awful thing off immediately!" " Yes!" "Just from my debut!" "You can congratulate me, Elena Vasilievna." "I auditioned at the opera house and was accepted." " Congratulations!" "Lena, are we alone?" "How is Nikolka?" " He is asleep now." " Lena, Lena..." " Please let me go..." "Wait a second." "What have you done to your moustache?" " This way is easier to apply a makeup." " So that you can look like a Bolshevik?" "You are such a sly, weak creature." "But don't you worry." "Nobody will touch you here." "Nobody will touch a person who can sing in two full octaves." "Plus two notes in the upper register." "Lenochka, may I make my intentions clear to you?" "Please do." "Lena, It's all over." "Nikolka is better." "Petlura is gone." "I've been accepted to sing in the opera." "Now it's a new life." "We should not wait any longer." "He is not coming back!" "He's cut off." "Lena, I am not so bad." "Really, I am not bad." "Lena, look at yourself." "You are all alone." "You... you..." "You are gradually fading." " Are you going to change?" " Why should I change?" "I will become your wife, only if you change." "And first of all, if you stop lying!" "Lena, am I such a liar?" "You are not a liar," "I don't know what you are." "You are empty like a nut!" "He saw his Majesty, the Imperor!" ""And then he cried..."!" "And nothing like that ever happened!" "And what about that tall mezzosoprano?" "She is just a sales person in a coffee shop!" "She was working there until she could get an engagement..." "I think she got one engagement..." "Lena, I swear to you on the memory of my dead Mother, including my dead Father, that there was nothing between us!" "I am an orphan you know," " I don't care!" "I am not interested in your dirty love affairs..." "What is important is... that you stop boasting and lying." "Once in your life you told the truth and nobody believed you!" "You had to show the proof!" "It's a shame!" "A shame!" "About that golden cigar case..." "I lied about it all..." "The Getman did not give it to me, and he did not hug me, and he did not cry..." "He just forgot it on the table..." "And I took it so I can... hide it..." "You stole it?" "From the table?" "No, I took it so I can hide it..." "It's a historical artifact!" "Oh my God!" "Not that too!" "Give it to me!" "Lena, the cigarettes there are mine!" "You are very lucky, you know, that you confessed it to me." " What if I have found out by myself?" " How could you find out?" "You are such a savage." "Not at all, Lena." "I have changed a lot." "I don't recognize myself, really." "Was it the catastrophe or the death of Alexey?" "But I am different now." "And about the finances, you should not worry, Elena!" "I am Oh-ho-ho." "Today when I was singing, the director of the opera house told me" ""Leonid, I have big hopes for you." "You should go to Moscow and sing in the Bolshoy Theater!"" "He came up to me, hugged me and..." "And what?" "And nothing." "And then he left..." "You are impossible..." "Lena..." "What are we going to do with Talberg?" "Divorce!" "Divorce!" "Do you know his address?" "Send him a telegram and a letter!" "Tell him it's over!" "It's over..." "All right." "I feel lonely." "I am bored, and sad." "All right, I agree." " You won, Galilean!" "A jabot will become you very much..." " You are very handsome, what can I say..." " We will do very well!" "You will always do very well." "I am not worrying about you." ""And you will be the Queen of the World!"" "It's a clean F note!" ""The eternal companion of my life..."" "Lena..." "I will sing and you will play the piano?" "But we are expecting guests!" "We have not seen each other for two months!" "People are always around!" "I demand to throw his picture away!" "I cannot see his face!" " What a tone of voice!" " I cannot see his face, Lenochka!" "You are such a rat!" "My conscience is clear and calm." ""I sing to you, Oh Gamines!" "You, who bind the bride and groom together!" "You bless the Love." "You bless the love." "I sing to you, the God of newlyweds, the God of Love."" "They kicked you out!" "I see..." "I suspected it a long time ago." "Rehearsing..." "Nikolai!" "You are up?" "Alone?" "Wait, I will bring you a pillow!" "Don't worry, Larion, I don't need it." "Thank you." "I think I will be an invalid for the rest of my life." "No, Nikolka, don't say that!" " Larion, have you seen THEM yet?" " No yet." "But soon." "As I was walking in the streets, I saw horse carts everywhere..." "And on the cart were those, with hats." "I guess, Bolsheviks kicked their butts..." " Good, they deserve it..." "However, I got vodka!" "Once in my life I got lucky!" "I thought that it would never happen!" "I am usually so unlucky!" "The weather aws beautiful when I left." "The sky is clear." "The stars are bright." "No sounds of guns." "Everything is perfect in this world." "And the moment I go outside..." "It starts snowing." "Same is this time." "I go outside and there is wet snow blowing right in my face." "But I got the bottle!" "Let Mishloevsky know what I can do!" "I fell twice!" "Hit my head on the ground twice!" "But the bottle is safe!" "You see?" "Unbelievable news." "Elena is getting a divorce." "She is getting married to Shervinsky." "Already?" "Eh, Larion!" "What's wrong, Larion?" "What's wrong?" "Ah, I see...." "You are also head over heals in love..?" "Nikolka," "when you are talking about Elena Vasilievna, such terms are unacceptable." "Got it?" "She is golden!" "She is just a redhead!" "It's almost a curse." "That's why everybody likes her so much." "The moment men see her they start bringing flowers." "So we have flowers everywhere all the time." "Talberg used to go mad with jealousy." "You better pick up the pieces." "Otherwise, Mishloevsky will kill you if he finds out." "Please don't tell him..." "The Red Army has defeated Petlura!" "His troops are leaving the city!" "Yes, The Red Army is already in Slobodka." "They will be here in half an hour." "Thus tomorrow we will have here a Soviet Republic!" "Wait a moment!" "Why does it smell like vodka now?" "Who was drinking ahead of time?" "Confess immediately!" "What is happening in this house?" "You are cleaning floors with vodka now?" "I know who did this!" "Why are you breaking everything all the time?" "It's truly unbelievable!" "Whatever he touches, it immediately breaks!" "If you really need to break something, then break china." "Why do you talk to me like this!" "I won't take this!" "Why is everybody yelling at me?" "Soon they will start beating me..." "But today for some reason I feel kind." "Peace, Larion." "I am not mad at you anymore." "Why are there no sounds of shooting?" "They are coming quietly and politely, without fighting." "What is the most surprising is that everyone is happy." "Even the bourgeois class is happy..." "It shows how much everyone hates Petlura." " I wonder how Bolsheviks look like..." " Just you wait and see..." "Captain, what's your opinion?" "I don't know..." "I don't understand anything anymore..." "I think we should leave along with Petlura." "I don't see how we, the White Guards, can get along with Bolshevicks." "I just don't see it..." "Where to?" "We should follow Petlura and go to Galicia..." " And then what?" " To Don!" "To the General Denikin!" "And fight Bolshevicks!" " So again?" "To the generals?" "Excellent plan!" "It's a pity Alexey is dead!" "He could say a lot about generals!" "But it's a pity, our Commander rests in peace." "Don't break my heart." "Don't remind..." "No, allow me..." "He isn't here so allow me to say something here!" "Again into the army?" "To fight again?" ""And then he cried..."?" "No, thank you." "That's enough for me." "Especially since I saw Alexey in the morgue..." "Nikolai!" "Nikolai!" "No, don't!" "Nikolka is crying..." "Enough now!" "I am fighting since 1914!" "And what for?" "For the Motherland!" "So what did the Fatherland do for me, when I was abandoned?" "And I should now go back to Their Excellencies?" "No, not anymore." "See that?" "Please use words only!" "OK, words only." "What am I, an idiot now?" "No." "I, Victor Mishloevsky, declare that I am not dealing with those scoundrels of generals anymore!" "Not anymore!" "I am done talking!" "Victor Mishloevsky is now a Bolshevik!" "Yes, if you really want to know, I am with Bolsheviks!" "Victor!" "What are you saying?" "!" "It's ridiculous!" "You should understand what you are talking about." "Captain, you just mentioned the word "Motherland"." "Which Motherland you are talking about, if we have Bolsheviks everywhere now?" "Russia is no more." "Do you remember what our Commander said and he was right!" "So here they are, Bolsheviks!" "So what?" "I am very happy..." " They will enlist you into the Red Army!" " So what?" "And I will go and serve!" " Why?" " I will tell you why..." "Petlura has how many in his army?" "200 thousand?" "Those 200 thousands are now running away the moment you mention Bolsheviks!" "You saw that?" "None is left!" "And why?" "Because millions of peasants are behind Bolsheviks." "And what I can show them?" "Our uniform with stripes?" "They can't stand our uniform!" "They see it and immediately grab machine guns!" "I have the Red Army like a wall in front of me, the bunch of scoundrels with the Getman behind me, and I am there right in between?" "No, thank you." "I am tired of looking like manure in water." "If they enlist me, at least I will know that I will be serving in a Russian Army." "Alexey was right – "The people are not with us, but against us"" "What Russian Army are you talking about, dammit?" "When they did it in, the Russia!" "They will shoot us anyway!" "And they will be right!" "They will arrest us, courtmarshal and shoot us quickly." "Easier for them and easier for us..." "No, I will fight them..." "Go ahead!" "Put your uniform back on and road is clear..." "Feel free to yell at Bolsheviks" ""I won't let you!" Nikolka got hurt, but you will get killed." "And it will be just." "Since what's going on now is not our business anymore..." "I am against any war..." "Why spill the blood?" "Have you ever been in a war?" "No, Vitya, I am cleared for health reasons." "Lung problems." "Plus I am the only son and provider for my mom." "You are right, my civilian friend." "We used to have a great country " "Russia." "And we will still have it..." "Yes, sure, just don't hold your breath..." "We won't have the old one, but a new one." "Just tell me this." "After you are defeated on Don..." "And you will be defeated, I guarantee you..." "And after your General Denikin runs away abroad, and this I can also guarantee... then what?" " Also abroad..." "Who needs you there?" "You will be like a third wheel on a cannon." "They will spit on you all the way from Singapore to Paris..." "I won't go anywhere..." "I will stay here, in Russia, whatever happens." "OK, that's it." "I am done talking." "I dismiss this gathering." "No, no, don't dismiss anybody." "I have an important announcement to make!" "Elena Talberg is getting a divorce and she is marrying me!" "Come on, Larion, give it up..." "She is way out of our league..." "Elena, darling, please allow me to hug and kiss you..." "Larion!" "Please accept my congratulations, Elena Vasilievna." "Larion, it's not polite." "Go and congratulate them." "You can come back here later." "My congratulations." "I wish you all the happiness..." "Congratulations..." "You are such a lucky guy!" "Just look at her." "What a woman!" "She speaks English, plays piano, but also can cook..." "I would marry you myself." "But I would not marry you, Vitya..." "That's fine." "I love you anyway." "Plus I am a convinced bachelor anyway." "I like it quiet and cozy, without women and children, just like in barracks." "Larion, get the glasses." "Let's toast to this." "Wait!" "Don't drink yet!" "I have a bottle of wine!" "You have no idea what kind of wine I have!" "It's not a wine, it's..." "It's..." "It's OK..." "Well... just a mediocre vintage, a regular table wine." "Aha, Elena, your work at hand?" "Larion!" "Shervinsky, you can get married now." "You are absolutely cured." "Well... our congratulations to you and our best wishes..." "Gentlemen, Vladimir Robertovich!" "Vladimir Robertovich..." "My respects to you all." "Apparition!" "How do you do, Lena?" "I see you all look surprised." "I think I should be more surprised to find such a merry crowd in my apartment." "Especially in such difficult times." "How do you do, Lena?" "What does all this mean?" " I'll tell you what it means!" " Please wait." "Gentlemen, please leave us." "We need to have a private talk alone." "Lena, I don't like it!" "Just wait a moment." "Everything is going to be all right." "Stay calm." " Should we get out, Lena?" " Yes, please..." "Elena, I know you are a smart woman." "If you need me, ask for me..." "Personally..." "All right, gentlemen, let's go outside and have a smoke." "Larion, take the pillow." "Let's go, all." " What's going on, Lena?" " Please sit down." " What is all this?" "Where is Alexey?" " Alexey was killed." "Impossible." "Oh, my god, it's awful." "But I warned you all." "Don't you remember?" "Yes, I remember." "And Nikolka is now an invalid." "Of course, it's awful." "But it's not my fault." "And you must agree, it cannot be an excuse... for this demonstrative behavior." "Pray, do tell me how did you manage to come back here?" "The Bolsheviks are expected to be in the city today...." "I know everything very well." "The play with the Getman was just a stupid operetta." "The Germans betrayed us." "But I was successful in getting a business arrangement to Don, to the General Krasnov." "We have to leave the city immediately." "We have no time left." "I came back here for you." "You see, I am asking you for a divorce." "And I will be marrying Shervinsky." "Very well..." "Excellent..." "To use my absence... to have some banal dirty affair?" " Victor!" "Lena!" "Personally!" "He left." "No objections to the divorce." "We had a very nice conversation." "Thank you, Victor." "Larion!" "He has left already?" "You are a genius, Vitya!" " "I am a genius"." "Turn off the lights, turn on the Christmas tree and play some march!" "Gentlemen, please!" "Very beautiful!" "Feels very cozy now." "All thanks to Larion." "OK, allow us to really congratulate you." "Larion, enough!" "Elena, darling, my congratulations to you." "Forget about it all, once and for all." "I drink to your health!" "Please tell me, Magician, the favorite of Gods," "What fate for my life Gods declared?" "And how soon, to my enemy's joy," "Will my burial place be prepared?" "Keep music loud!" "We'll be victorious!" "All our enemies will run away, Will run away!" "Long Live the..!" "To the Union of Proletariat Commissars!" "And all together we cry Hurrah!" "Hell knows what!" "Shame on you!" "It's wonderful." "The lights... and the tree..." "Larion, give us a speech!" "Right, Larion, speech!" "Gentlemen, I don't really know how." "I am also very shy..." "Larion is giving a speech!" "If you really want..." "But please accept my apologies," "I am not prepared..." "Gentlemen, we all met in this most difficult and most frightening time," "and we all experienced so much, including me." "I, too, experienced a drama in my life." "And my sinking ship was thrown brutally around by the waves of fate..." "About the ship was excellent..." "Yes, my ship." "Until it finally found this safe harbor." "With creamcolored drapes..." "And with people whom I like so much!" "Though, I witnessed a drama here too..." "Alexey Vasilievich..." "But let's not talk about sad things now." "Times have changed." "Petlura is now gone." "We are still together." "And even more, look at Elena." "She survived so much." "And she deserves to be happy!" "She is such a... wonderful woman!" "And I want to use the words of a poet to say" ""We will rest, we will rest..."" "Aha, here is our rest..." "Five..." "Six..." "Nine..." " It can't be a fight again, can it?" " No, it's a salute." "Exactly." "It's a salute of 6-inch cannons." "People are not with us, but against us!" "People are not with us, but against us!" "People are not with us, but against us!" "Gentlemen, do you hear this?" "The Red Army is coming." "Gentlemen," "so this is a great prologue to a new historical chapter?" "It's a prologue for some and an epilogue for others." "Let the distance be in flames," "Let the snowstrom be raging," "The armoured train "Proletarian"" "Is sternly rushing at the enemy." "There are plenty of roads ahead," "And the enemy lead is raging," "It's the beginning of the new world," "It's the end of the old one." "The song, like distant thunder," "Is heard somewhere:" ""We will brave go to fight for the Soviet power."" ""PROLETARIAN"" "There's a shadow on the steep shore," "Someone is hiding in a ravine," "The armoured train "Proletarian"" "Is rushing ahead at full speed." "Polish sirs know that," "Villages and towns know that" "There is no return to the past," "And there never will be." "The song, like distant thunder," "Is heard somewhere:" ""We will bravely go to fight for the Soviet power."" "The End"
