"Little ones passed out and he was still sprightly." "His father was an alcoholic." "Drunkard." "It's all genetics." "I heard on TV last week that it's guaranteed you will also become one." "Nah, he's a chill dude." "Though he's pretty slow-wilted." "Here he Is, Senya." "Be careful, drive slow." "Don't worry, auntie Nina." "Everything will be okay." "Well, Yurik, get in." "Mum, can I go to the dam?" "I shall be back in no time, really." "No, Yura, we have no time for that." "You must go right now, or you won't get there by night." "It was not easy to persuade Senya to take you there." "Tomorrow he has to go to the factory." "It's all right, auntie Nina, we'll be there in no time." "Great." "At least you'll spend this summer outside." "You will pass your school exams In autumn." "I arranged that." " Do you have your notebook?" " I do." "Good boy." "Don't forget to study, or you may fail in autumn." "Nina, what's the problem?" "I'm coming, Volodya, I'm coming!" "All right, son, go." "Be a good boy." "Don't offend grandpa." "And then you will tell us about your vacation." "Oh." "Don't spend it right away." "You're a big boy." " All right, auntie Nina, it's time." " God be with you." "Drive slow!"

"Good woman, yeah, right." "Well, she sent you to grandpa, at least you're still alive." "But that's all right, Yura." "People can adapt to anything." "O, how fun!"

"Since then she never came here." "Whatever..." "Want some?" "Sure..." "That's nice after the journey..." "So you drink already?" "Isn't it a bit too early?" "You know I can thrash you for that?"

"Mother told me you are off your trolley." ""Mother told me"..." "And you are quick to repeat!"" "Look at yourself!" "I saved your life, now you want to shoot me?" "Of course!" "And I will If that is what needs to be done!" "So you think death Is an old ugly woman?" "No, she's a young bitch, enthusiastic abomination..." "She stalks me for how many years now?" "No sleep no rest..." "She's watching!" "What are you saying, grandpa?" "Are you not feeling well?" "Hey, stop with your Ideology!" "I'm not liable to your weaknesses!"

"John, come back, she will buy you an ice cream!" "Why did he throw it?" "Thanks a lot, Yurik." "Here you go." "What?" "Still not enough, you know." "I gave some coins, that should be enough." "Another oligarch..." "Where are you going?" "Jesus Christ..." "Purse!" "God bless you, Yurlk." "Come visit us sometime." "Our house ls over there." "Red one, at the end of the street."

"Grandpa, they renamed It a long time ago." "I brought you some ice cream." "What do you mean "renamed"?" "Who?" "When?" "Well... people..." "What's wrong with these people?" "Always trying to go backward in history." "I have to step In and repair history's compass once and for all." " Where ls my revolver?" " Here, grandpa, have some ice cream." "I hope it's Russian." "What are these foreign symbols?" "It's not Russian, it's poison!" " Look, Russian letters." " "Leningradskoe"..." "You see?" "Leningradskoe." "Nobody renamed nothing." "Put It In my bowl." "Let it melt." "And who are you?" "Timurovets?" "I am Yurlk, your grandson!" "Great great grandson!" "I came to visit you!" "I am hungry and..." "Look at him, grandson!" "Then why are you so muddle-headed?" "That's heredity." "My father was an alcoholic." "I always told him..." "Gotta drink smart!" "You know how it is on the frontlines?" "They fill your helmet with spirit..." "And you gotta say..." ""No problem, I'll do it." "Easy"." "Mother sent you to look after grandpa so I don't drink?" "I don't need your care." "I didn't invite you." "I wasn't waiting for you." "I don't need anyone!" " I can go back!" " You can and you will." "Then why did you come?" "!" "You said It yourself, to save you!" "Allegoryl" ""Allegory!" You better restrain yourself..." " We both are materialists." " Who?" "Forget about It!" "Eat!" "Don't expect that I'll serve you pickles!" "Mum, take me home, please." "It's so sad here." "I aree to live In our town, I just need you." "Grandpa ls completely Insane." "He's talking funny and says that he'll shoot me." "There's no food In the house and I got no friends." "Dear mom, please, come here." "That's all for now." "The West Is where Satan dwells." "It's full of temptations." "I was a boy once, just like yourself." "That's when I first heard the manifesto." "And I realized that world bourgeoisie told Satan to make sunset red." "We lost our ideas and became poor!" "Grandpa, I don't understand anything." "What are you talking about?" "What is sunset?" "Well..." "That's an omen." "Tomorrow the weather will be fine, probably." "What does weather have to do with anything?" "!" "Sunset ls the natural flag of vengeance." "It's the symbol of death of gods of nature." "Sunset ls red because of the blood of all creatures, who were killed by the lapse of time and myself." "That means I am an expert in dead men." "Grandpa, what do you mean?" "You worked at the graveyard?" "Me?" "I buried capitalism." "I buried a lot of people and things, Yurka..." "And I was buried myself more than once." "Now I got more friends among the dead than among the living." "So what?" "What?" "I'll tell you what." "Tomorrow expect Intermittent clouds and rain." "I told you, the weather will be fine!" "At your age there is no such thing as bad weather." " Want some?" " Yeah." "The most Important thing ls Aurora, Yurik, not sunset." "Dawn of new life." "If only I was on board of "Aurora" then..." "I would have not used blind shells, trust me..." "I would have used large-calibre weapons, I would have shot the old world for real!" "I wonder, why did your mother send you here?" "She sent me to penal servitude so I could get some fresh air." "Don't you understand, grandpa?" "She sent me so I wouldn't cause them trouble!" "She wants to live..." "So what?" "She has the right to do so." "I shed my blood for equality between women and men..." "You act like you're my grandson but keep interfering with your mother's freedom?" "Penal servitude?" "I'll wait until you recover and execute you." "You already promised that." "Don't repeat yourself." "If I promised, I will do it!" "I just have to find my gift from comrade Budenov, then you are dead!" "Who is this comrade of yours?" "Oh, kids these days..." "You will bring doom upon our world..." "How can you not know such a hero?" "History passed you by, It's like you were born in another country!" "I was born here!" "And I will not bring doom upon anything!" "Why did he give you the revolver?" "I earned It!" "And our local policeman wants to take it away!" "He says It's Illegal weapon storage!" "He already took my sabre, mlscreantl Where is it, maybe fell under the floor?" "How can I go to garden now?" "Let's cut your plum trees!" "Please, do cut them, young comrade!" "How will we do it, grandpa?" "There ls a machete In the shed, the weapon of Cuban proletariat!" " I got It from Fidel?" " Who is he?" "Another one of your comrades?" "I see that you are not versed in politics, Yuri." "No cutting!" "Let me teach you about politics." "We will find out who you need to know, who to become friends with." "Who to learn from!" "I know all this stuff..." "If you know It, tell me, who are these people?" "I know Pushkin, but you don't have his picture." "We have his portrait in school." "Oh, how nice..." "And whilst with liberty we burn, And whilst our hearts adore vengeance..." "But he was a nobleman, blue blood..." "We will start with another one." "This ls my brother and comrade, Tommaso Campanella." "He was an Italian philosopher In the 16th century." "Very smart man." "Take notes, he was born In the family of a cobbler." "He spent 21 years In jalll I, for one, only 7..." "That's not Important!" "He wanted to create a world where no one would have any property." "Everything would have been common!" "Houses, families, children!" "And you would have been brought up not by mothers, but by govemmentl" "Clever machines!" "Everyone would have worked for 4 hours a day!" "And that ls true heaven on Earth!" "So many..." "Nature is the first to fight, Yurik." "We will revolutionary liquidate it to free our minds." "Proletariat will be free!" "And we don't need these tawdry stars, Yurlkl Let science put them in a big black sack!" "Hooray!" "Hooray!" "We will not get rid of this bush that easy." "I have been doing It for 50 years, it just doesn't know when to stop!" "No, you are doing It wrong..." "Let me show you." "Let me." "All right, Yurlk, that's enough..." "Today's class is over." "Nature is stubborn, Yurik." "We will not conquer It In a higher sense, we need a different approach here." "Go and bring..." "I wrote to Klava what's necessary." "I ask you to give one bottle to the person who hands you this note." "Yes, this Is Pavel Ivanovich's signature." "And the date is correct." " Here you go." " Klavdia." " Why do you sell alchohol to children?" " Calm down, Semakov." "No one sells anything." "It's Yurik." "He is Pavel Ivanovich's grandson." " Uncle Pasha Socialism." " So what?" "Veteran asks..." "Grandson came to visit him and he is injured." "That's Pavel Ivanovich's directive for today." "Why do you keep talking about Pavel Ivanovich?" "I know him!" "But he's a veteran, war hero." "He established the Soviet government here." "And where ls It, this government?" "Klavdia, give him a pack of juice." "Yes, slrl You got talent, Semakov." "You can persuade the dead to lie In coffins for the second time!" "But I need It now!" "Not this juice of yours!" "What's the matter?" "Why aren't you working?" "Let the customer go." "You see, this boy ls trying to buy alcohol." "That's okay, let him buy It." "What's wrong with you, Semakov?" "But that's against the law..." "It's for our Iron Man, Pavel Ivanovich." "And this is Yurik, his grandson." "Why wouldn't we sell it to him?" "So It's wine for corruption fighter?" "The veteran of stagnation?" "And he sent his grandson?" "You are a revolutionary like your grandpa, I presume?" "Of course I am." "I see..." "Don't sell anything to these scumbags." "Everyone must observe the law." "Go and tell your grandfather, that Myasogorov observes all laws of his country." "Klavdla, give boy his wine, and another bottle." "A gift from me." "Yes, sir!" "I hope you don't drink yet?" "A little." "And I don't drink..." "Anymore." "Let's go, Semakov." "Here, don't break it." "Thanks for your help, auntie Klava." "Send my komsomolsky greetings to him, from Klava." "What does he think about our current situation?" "What will happen next?" "Sunset." "You live with that crazy old man?" "Yes..." "Why is he crazy?" "He is too smart and too old." "Haven't you noticed this?" "No." "Maybe you are crazy too?" " When will you go away?" " Soon." "That's good." "We don't like strangers." " What did you buy?" " Medicine for grandpa!" " Got some money?" " Stay stilll" "Show me!" " What's In there?" " Oh my..." "Cool!" "Good stuff I" " Let's party!" " We hit the jackpot, guys!" "Yeah!" "Documentary about animals?" "I thought it's broken." "I will judge you!" "For what!" "It was already broken!" "I'm not talking about the stool!" "I'm talking about betrayal!" "I will beat this disgraceful spirit out of you!" "I had to use my emergency ration!" "You will receive corporal punishment due to the fact that you came home late, without victuals I sent you for!" "Take your pants oi"" "I didn't even drink It." "These guys took everything." "That's a pity." "Too obedient..." "No, lie down!" "All right, get up." "I praise you for your tenacity." "But I don't think you should try to become an adult already." "Where's the product I sent you for?" "I told you, I gave It away!" "It was necessary." "What do you mean?" "I became friends with locals." "Petlya, Tyha and Koptila." "Good guys." "We are friends now." "Well, that's acceptable." "You must be close to people." "Let's drink to this!" "I didn't even drink that much!" "Just a couple of sips." "I don't believe you." "Like father like son." "And he had no moderation." "Do you know where he stays now?" "I also have been struggling with this stuff all my life." "And it's useless..." "That means I will also become an alcoholic?" "Why is that?" "Well, my dad was one." "You are not of their weak breed." "You have my roots!" "But you also drink!" "Me?" "No, I do it occasionally." "Yeah." "There happen to be a lot of occasions." "My mother drinks with her friends at home." "My friends also drink here and In town." "Everyone!" "Sometimes I don't even want to drink, but how can I refuse my friends?" "I don't want to be called alcoholic." "I'll crush your genes, your drunken heredity." "I will stop drinking!" "What will you do about your genes?" "How can you crush them?" "It's like bedbugs?" "Stinkers..." "No, it's ok to drink occasionally." "Give your genes some rest." "Or they will revolt without nourishment and start a revolution." "I'd rather cajole them with a nice cup of..." "I can do Itl I have will power!" "Look at Myasogorov, he doesn't drink either!" "Or you think that only the rich can do It?" "And we have to follow them?" "Wha..." "This thief, usurper, fleecerl" "I was the one who made him a member of Komsomol." "He was an activist." "He was canvassing for comunnlsml This traitor's name" "Is first In my list of people to be liquidated!" "I'll also liquidate you." "I don't need Myasogorov': followers here." " And he gave you the bottle." " Where is it then?" "Walt a second..." "This bastard, that was a bribe!" "He thinks he can buy Serpokrylov with one bottle?" "Where is it?" "!" "I told you I gave It away." "Or, as you put it, liquidated." "Lie down." "Your arbitrariness..." "It's no good..." "I knew you wouldn't take this bottle from Myasogorov." "Don't look for the belt." "I hid It." "It's getting late." "They must be your role models, remember!" "Mum will come only at the end of summer." "And it's just begun." "Can't wait for autumn!" "Grandpa actually ls not that scary." "He's even funny." "Huddle-headed but fair." "He promised to stop drinking." "He's looking for his revolver." "I hope he finds it." "I will also stop drinking." "That's all for now." "Mum, I'm waiting for you." "Grandpa, how can you live without TV?" "I don't live without TV, here It ls." "In the centre of the room." "Why would I watch your damn TV If It just shows the chaos all around the world." "My revolutionary heart demands order and justice." "I can watch stuff on slide projector!" "Throw it away then!" "Nah, It's very useful." "I got a fish there." "Also, Yurlk, I don't forget old comrades." "This friend showed me the most important things." "About..." "October festivals, harvests..." "About Belka and Strelka, space..." "Let's repair It, then!" "Maybe it'll show us some other news." "I don't think so." "You know what?" "Semakov will make a speech tonight." "Canvass for Myasogorov." "And then they will show a new movie." "With Sinezubov!" "I don't need TV to know this!" "Scumbag wants to become a deputy!" "He hopes to buy himself power." "I'll go there, I'll deal with this traitor." "What's wrong with you?" "Mr. Myasogorov ls going to start complete modemlzatlon of our village based on innovations..." "I don't understand you, Semakovl Tell us honestly, will people's lives become easier?" "I will explain." "It means that we will live like they do in town..." " Hot water, conveniences..." " And crime!" "Nice project!" "Comrade..." "Ugh!" "Mr. Myasogorov believes that as soon as we receive investments..." " What?" " I mean money." "We will be able to build schools, shops and..."

"Mr. Myasogormfls project Intends to make our crooked ravine..." "You're as crooked as this ravine!" "What are you trying to do with this historical place, satrapsi" "Hundreds of my comrades lie there!" "I'm lust trying to say that..." "It's been decided..." "We believe that this useless land should be used to build elite, national, educational, shopping..." "Of course, there will be sections for children..." "In other words..." "It will be the entertainment and business centre." " Like a movie theater?" " What about schools?" " Day nursery?" " Draught beer?" "Of course!" "It will include everything!"

"Not yet!" "Too early to bury me." "I got Iron heart, Yurlk." "Goddess of revolution gave it to me." "It's eternal." "Do you want to listen?" "Yes." "At night It crunches." "It gives me mutinous, space dreams." "So you will never die?" "Of course, not." "I need to kill all the enemies of revolution before I die myself." "All right, go to sleep." " Where did you find the revolver?" " Go and sleep!" "Didn't tell me anything..." "Will you show it to me?" "In the momingl" "Can we shoot a bit?" "It's not broken, right?" "It bangs like hell." "You have doubts, counter-revolutionary?" "I've been using It for a long time..." "It's wonderful." "I don't want enemies of proletariat to think that a veteran will crumble." "I will find and liquidate every one of them in a specific order." "Oh..." "I was rushing to universal happiness with this human prod." "Go, scumbagsl Forward, forward!" "On behalf of proletarian revolution..." "I was merciless, Yurlk." "I never spared myself." "Killed a lot of people." "Executed everyone who tried to stand in my way." "Were you..." "Were you sorry for them?" "No..." "But when he ls lying at your feet and your gun is smoking..." "That's where..." "That's where lies begins." "You can't write a book about It." "Can't tell your grandchildren about it." "I drink the wine of life." "I am guilty." "In the past I never gave a damn about feelings, Yurik, but now..." "Now I'm suffering..." "Crying..." "I cry when I cut cows' heads off..." "There are four types of crying." "First one is worldly, trivial." "But real ones also exist: before execution, while being executed and after execution." "But how can a man cry after being executed?" "That's simple." "They kill him and his soul drips out in the fom1 of tears." "Belng interrogated, he didn't say anything." "When they were ready to shoot, he stood proudly at gunpoint." "But bulled quickly softened him." "Showed how moist his soul really was." "You want to try the gun, right?" "Yes." "Let's go." "Here."

" Or something else..." "Where is memorial plate?" "Yurlk, your grandpa doesn't follow the news." "Grandpa, maybe that's enough for today?" "What do you mean "enough"?" "Who will tell you about it, if not myself?" "They will tell you some legends..." "Legends are lies!" "Legends twist facts!" "Listen to my facts while I'm still alive." "Kulaks cut a star on my chest In 1932!" "Is this legend good enough for you?" "I will show you!" "We already saw It." "No one In bathhouse even draws attention to it anymore." "I got a tattoo, you got your star." "All right, Yurlk, we are leaving." "Thanks for the show, gramps." "They were laughing at you." "I thought they would try to understand you." "Yurlk..." "I'm lust a walking embodiment of the last century." "They will tell a lot of fairy tales." "It's you who is going to pay for it." "It's my fault that the spirit of revolution left us."
