"It's none of my business." "And so this is the village soviet?" "Don't you always get your money on time?" "Do you also sign?" "You don't understand any of the rest." "There are the placards." "A masterpiece." "If the children don't show up at school, the school will go to the children." "He who slaughters young cattle is an enemy." "We must not get cold." "It'll get warm around noon." "Budyonny's riders fly across the steppe." "You can take the children back to school." "I sold the sheep's meat to someone." "But the sheep belong to the people." "Go and tell your people!"

"Seven, seven" "My dear friend" "So this is the end." "Nothing bad can be said of the work the village soviet does." "You will live." "How about your homework?" "What about the teacher?" "The village soviet will bury her... and you will pay for it." "Why did we elect you?" "To help us die?" "You let the Bey keep his sheep." "The old soviet didn't help, so maybe a new one will." "Write down that she wanted us to keep our sheep." "Write down that the people without property saved her." "Teacher Kuzmina is dying." "She can only be saved if help gets here soon." "Comrades!" "Teacher Kuzmina is on the verge of dying in the Altay." "Only an operation can save her." "Listen!" "Novosibirsk." "We have received... the telegram concerning Kuzmina." "We're sending an aeroplane." "We owe all of this... to our socialist society." "Listen!" "In order to save teacher Kuzmina... a plane from Novosibirsk... is on its way to the Altay!" "What can the iron bird do?" "It can save a human life." "I'll be back soon." "What can man do?" "Man can create new life." "How beautiful... life will turn out to be!" "The End"
