Director:
Vladimir Bortko

In the main roles:
Michael Placido

The dog is alive.

What are you carrying?
- Some garbage.

Where do you wear them?
- In the cistern, to hell with it.

Hey, boy...

Boy, come here.

You do not disappoint me.
Don't have any money?

How do they take that shit?
They only have guns!

Help me.
- Right away.

Do you remember, last time they had a "sharp "??

Stop! Stop, bandit mule!

Let me go.
Are you deaf?

What are you up to?
-Got sidetracked.

I said, I will!

Comrade Major, they're coming.

Wounded in the heliopter,
dead after.

Get down. Out!

Stop.

Leave him alone!

Stop! Stop it, bitch!
His hands are bloody, but there are no injuries.

This one here is a slaughterer of our soldiers.

Enough, sergeant!

Shut up!

What did he say?
- He blames the Major's friend.

Specify?
- Why did you come here?

This is not yours, but our country.
We did not call you.

Whatever it is, you will
be caught and killed.

And so...

What should I do with him?

Hold three.
Burn the car.

That's all.

Get up! Let's go!

Ready?
Fallen.

Here.

Come on, come in!

Why, Sasha?
- Shut your mouth. Get the fuse.

Match.

Good luck.

Run.

The prisoners?
One tried to escape.

I had to use a weapon.
Ivanov, is it true?

Yes.

Move it.

He has not, he has not returned yet.

Hello, Comrade Colonel.
Why are you so armed?

Because of the chickens, I do not know how
to transfer them to the Soviet Union.

I thought I'd cut off their heads,
So that they lie still...

How to lie?
Are you afraid there's no rooster?

That.
- I do not need a rooster for this.

How do you do it, how do
you do it without a rooster?

This is called an infertile egg.
There is no need for a rooster.

Strange.
- Yes... Wait.

Take it.
- No, comrade.

I will not eat that egg.
- Take it.

No no.
- It's the same as the other eggs.

Except it's not going to cure the chickens.
- I do not want it!

They'll leave you, Katya.

That's my problem, right?

Come back!

You like me, Katya.

I did not tell you, but...
I've liked you a long time.

I suffer because of you...

What are you doing with him?
Living...openly.

In principle, I had to...

Are you serious?
- Yeah...

I understand, it turned out stupid.

And compared to Mikhail...
it is mean, but...

We're leaving soon.
And who knows if we'll see each other again.

That's really low.
- He'll leave you.

He's not the man for you.
He's special and strange.

That's why they took him out
of the Military Academy.

In addition...

He has a wife and a child in Moscow.
And I am alone.

We're going to get married.

Wherever I am sent,

Everywhere is better than here.

...There'll be a garden and chickens.

And her house is hers.
And her eggs are the best...

Because they are yours.

If I may serve in the Ukraine,
We're going to eat fried eggs with bacon.

And in the Far East with wild onion,
but it's better with bacon in Ukraine.

I'm talking incoherent.
I just thought that...

Everywhere will be fine,
When we release the roots

We're going to have a family.
We'll forget about Michael.

Thank you, Comrae Colonel.

I'm not going to forget it.

Get out.

Take it.
- Thank you!

Come on.
- Congratulations.

Get lost.

Excuse me, let me speak.

And? It's beer, fresh.

Senior Lieutenant Steklov,
right from the district.

Let me ask how to
get to Headquarters?

Bandura.
- I did not realize?

Follow me.

Misha! Bandura!

Misha!

Hello.

You're back. Why so late?
- It was necessary to hand over prisoners.

I did not manage to transport your soldiers.
He died in helicopter.

I'm sorry...

I'm going to a concert, the singer Rozenbaum.
In the Union it is impossible to get a ticket.

Bandura, hello!

What, did you go by yourself?

Tell the truth, did you break them?

And who is this, he does not look like a prisoner to me?
- Shimako, you're getting hammered.

I'm the leader of this club,
I did what I had to do, and now I'm free.

Misha, what's the date today?
Friday, May 13th

And on Monday, we pack,
And we're out of here.

He's entertaining your club leader.
And don't do the dirty work.

Son, you have to break the profession...
from youth. You understand?

Let's go, OK, let's
go somewhere to hide.

I order you to live, even
though it is the thirteenth today!

Look, you're so good.
In addition...

Yes, I did not have luck. I came,
how should I put it, in an abnormal time.

Have you been here long,
Comrade Major?

I see you've been here long.

By the way, my name is Nikita.

Sadness, companion to the Major.
For the people's money...

How many graves are there?
And who needed it?

Don't tell anyone, understand?
- Yeah, but that's my opinion.

Yours?
- They're writing about it, too.

For now, leave things with me.
- Good.

Drop the suitcase.

What a miracle.
Can I look at them?

Great.
That's what I'm looking for.

Do you like it?
- Yeah.

It's yours.

You kidding?

Such are the customs here in the east.
If you like something, they give it you.

Thank you.

Is it so funny?
- No, it's okay.

Help me get rid of them.
- Yes of course.

Are you a relative?
- Who?

You know who I mean.

Yes, we're brothers.

Son...

But that does not mean
anything, Comrade Major.

He has his own life, and I have mine.

As soon as I finished my education, I
immediately asked to be sent here.

But their father ordered
me not to let me out.

That's why I was hanging in
Tashkent like a... shit in a well.

And there is not enough in the Union.
I hear he can see to buy here?

Yes, he can.
- For underwear or for checks?

I can do laundry.
-That's good.

I see that here it can
be nice to live ..

I'm even sorry, that
it's already over.

Why? You're going to make it through the portal.
-Really?

We report to the Headquarters
that we have destroyed

A great enemy caravan
with weapons.

And...?

Scrub my back, please.
- Yes of course.

Why is the water warm?
- Cold weather over the winter.

In Headquarters, they will conclude that the
column could reach the village where Adil,

some kind of Afghan Chapaev.

Probably the column went to another
place, but that does not matter.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

It's something else that matters.

The caravan could have
passed and reached Adil,

it means taking measures.

And we will take them.

Yes so...

The commander will order me,
and I will have my soldiers,

... to blow up this
village to the Devil.

Adil probably will not be there,
but that does not matter.

So you're still going to fight.

I guarantee you the
"Red Star" Order.

No other choice?
- You got to die.

In some other case, they'll remember you and
tell you what to do.

Do you want me to open a beer? I
also made fish and salami, can I?

No, after.

Well, what are we drinking for?

Drink and shut up.

Hi.
- Hi.

You're whole?
-Yes, the whole.

Senior Lieutenant Steklov came
to fill his international duty.

It kind of sounds familiar.
I'm Katya.

Nikita.

Do you want to toast with us?
- No, I'm on duty.

But I'll make you something.
- No, it's not necessary, please.

Sit down.

Comrade Major,
I should go to headquarters.

Did the concert end?
- I just the artists leave.

So did the Commander at Headquarters.
We're gonna leave now.

Should I wait for you on the street?
- Good.

Come on for dinner.

Thank you. Bye.
- Goodbye.

Iw he the son of Steklov?
- Uh huh...

He needs tobacco.
Want to go with us?

Can I take Tanya?
- You can.

If he comes in the evening,
can I prepare something?

Is your wife waiting in Termez?

Do you know how it will be when
you return to the Union?

Misha...

Sorry.

I'll take the plane to Bagram
and then to Tashkent.

Yeah, right.

Misha, the guy is waiting for you.

Let's wait.

It's going to burn the meat.

Screw him.

Sat, Japanese?

Can he get it here?
- And how.

A group of infantry regiments attacked
a big caravan with guns.

The whole caravan is destroyed. It is assumed
that the caravan was going for Adil.

In what sense "assumed"?
- We killed the leader of the caravan.

Still.
- The caravan was destroyed.

We had one wounded, he died during the
carriage. Several captives and trophies...

That's your report?
- Yeah.

Suggestions?
- Relocate the battalion,

Strengthen the guards. As usual.
- That's right.

In the morning you will take 50 cars,

cartridges, 10 sacks of
flour, you get the money.

You take them Adil to the village.

Why?

To return without loss.

So we're giving the ransom?

This is not our job.

I have an order.
There is a passing point...

There should be some
shitty engineer waiting, Gulahan.

Make arrangements with him for the time and
for the rest of the details.

Come in.
- Comrade Commander, please. We're here for the furniture.

Wear it, but quickly.

Let me continue. You know whose son is this?
- I know.

Simply said, Daddy's boy.
I've already been called that.

It concerns you personally. I want
to be a brave and capable officer

and take command over it.
- In what sense?

It's all in the Duvan.
But shopping in the city is unprofitable.

Buy it in our canteen.
It's very cheap.

Then you sell it in town.
He'll give you as much as six "Sharps",

(tapes)
In the Union you sell 5, and one for yourself.

Ingenious!
- And for the video,

As presents to the girl and she will stay.
-You know the rest!

Senior Lieutenant Steklov, come on.
- Bye, see you later.

Come by sometime.
- See you.

So, you come to us?
- That's right, Comrade Commander.

That's very good.
I knew your father.

Not personally, of course, but...

I had the pleasure of serving under
his command during 1968.

In Czechoslovakia?
- Yeah. What kind of days those were!

And how everything was organized...
One word - Europe, not like here!

Quiet peaceful people, no rush...
Culture!

They called us, we left...

Strategically it was a good operation.
But politically it was not justified.

Who told you that, Comrade Lieutenant?

How did Dad talk like that, so many times?

And they say the same on television.
And in general, it's known to everyone.

Good. We are ordinary soldiers,
Let the politicians slow down,

and we will fulfill our duty.

I'm deploying you under
Major Bandura's command.

A brave officer, valued here,
listen to his orders.

Do you have questions?
- No, comrade Colonel!

He needs tobacco.
A little gift for mom.

It's a sacred act.
Organize the way we talked about.

Of course, I don't know anything about that path.

About women.

In what sense?
- In terms of advice.

So... Let our ladies...
Let her go to who she wants.

I want everyone who's still here to gather.
Go, you're dismissed.

Salam alaykum, sahib.
- Hello, Gulahan.

Your son?
-The older, also called Gulahan.

I have the younger one.
- Where arewe taking the guns?

And the flour, Adil's looking for ten bags.

Clearly, where?
- Right in the village.

But do not cross the stream,
that part is not his.

And where do you live?
- On that side. I do not fight.

What do I do, are you leaving?
Who will I stay with?

He's asking for a favor.
You're asking for a favor. That's how I live.

When will he bring it?
- Tomorrow morning.

Adil will think about it.
- What does it mean in the morning? You went to school in Moscow!

Yeah, but Adil did not.
He said "in the morning" and nothing more.

We're going at 8:00, OK?
- Alright.

I have a request, sahib.
The younger ones are almost circumcised, he's got a fever.

Take aspirin, please.
- Good.

And still, I'm meeting a room for a young woman,
I need coffins, can you get them?

The commander told me
to bring 10 crates.

Ten is small, at least 25 - 30...
- I have no crates.

We can make a deal, I'll sell you
"Panasonic", almost new.

Engineer!

I have no crates!

Nice weather.

Why do not you answer when I ask you?

That's right, Comrade guard sergeant.
- This weather, and you're so pale.

Come on. Smell them.

Why, Comrade Sergeant?
- You did not wash them, that's why they smell.

And now smell mine,
and compare it.

Come on... Understand that I'm
not fucking with you.

Don't be shy, I want
you to understand.

I'm not ordering you,
I'm asking as a friend.

You're good. And how do you like it?
- No.

Why not? There's no difference!

And do you know why you wash so casually?

Answer me when I ask you!
- I don't know, Comrade Sergeant.

You're lying! You know.

You can't lie to me,
I'm your commanding officer.

Answer: "I wash so negably,
Because I'm a coward. ""

Well, I'm waiting.

Okay, don't answer.
I know why you're pale anyway.

You have a sport to do, I'll give you
a moment of free combat. Come on!

Attack me, show me.
Come on!

Listen, dog, you can't beat anybody,
'cause you're a coward.

Arsonov! Don't you have any work to do?

What's going on here?
- We're joking, Comrade Major.

We're out at 14:00, clear!
- I understand.

Are they relatives?
- His son, but he does not tell anyone.

I won't tell anyone.

And maybe it's my destiny?
Do they see the way he looks at me?

You will live in Moscow,
in a nice apartment.

You'll have a maid, to give saliva.

I'll take you.

Ivanov, stay on the vehicle!

Watch both sides of the street.

Ivanov, remember! Any moment someone
can perform a provocation..

You have to assess.
If you succeed, you stay alive.

If you miss, you lose your friends.
And then I'll kick your ass.

So many women!

Any available?
- Tanya.

Pardon!

Should I buy a fur coat?
-What, a coat in this heat...

Misha, listen. Steklov likes Tanya,
I'll invite her tonight, huh?

What do you need that for, a friend, a scumbag?
Let me show you the suit!

Why do you throw your money?

Buy a friend.

Buy.

Buy your friends. Buy!
- I don't need one.

So...

It's good...
- Not very pretty. Show me there.

This yes, and this one. One...

One's how much it costs, one!

Salam alejkum.
- Hello.

That's what I want.

Look and choose.

Wake up, Ivanov!
Watch out for weapons.

Stop.

What are you doing? Stop.

Stop, stop!

Girls, what happened?

Steklov!

You'll say he had a grenade.
Let's go.

In the vehicles!
- Quickly, in the vehicles.

Open the last board.
- Quick, quick!

Everything is alright.
Quick, fast!

Everything is normal...
Back, back!

Back. Back when I say!

Hold on!
- Let's go.

Give it back, let's go.

Faster. Come on, come on, come on!

I've taught you a bit!

Do not overestimate good positions.

But nothing. As Lenin said,

learn, learn and just learn.

Hey, you!

What about the soldier?
- It will be.

How did you manage to buy so much?
- What I want, I buy it.

It is impossible to restore life

for a wink to stop some irreversible night

And my lonely home.

Still doing old clocks...

There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm a very responsible person.

Everything is written, verified,
and in its place.

No woman is in such order as I am.
I also have a hobby.

When I collect all the money...
- What kind of money?

Coins, kopeks.
I wrap them up in paper

And on every one I write, where and
in what place, I found them.

Yes, I have even a special notebook,
in which I draw a diagram.

Increased coins -
the diagram goes up.

And less - down.

Now the diagram goes down.
- But why?

No one here can lose a kopeck.
- What are you talking about?

I'm going to have to try.
-And why don't we drink?

We're waiting for a toast.

For acquaintance.
- With pleasure.

Frankly speaking, here's
a real nightmare,

but it seems to me that
everything will be alright.

It's always OK for us in the regiment.

Say, why do not you drink?

People, leave the TV
at least for a moment.

What's up? They bicker, chatter,
and I do not understand. It's unclear.

When you get to the Union, you'll understand.
- Yes, in the Union I will watch television.

And what are you going to do?
- I'll find something.

I see you have a very rich program...

And you, Katya, what are you going to do in the Union?
- Yeah?

First I will buy an apartment for myself,
because my entire life I've been a tenant.

And after that, lavish furnishings.
- You won't be able to.

Why?
-They only give to the handicapped, according to the list.

And I'll buy it in the store.
- The shops are closed.

Are they?
- Yeah.

Then I'll be on vacation, at Pribaltik.
There is cold water there...

You won't be able to, either.
Illegal, some kind of ecological crisis.

Then I do not know.

Then it's probably
best to stay here.

I dissociated from the Union.
When I was on leave,

I did not understand
anything, nothing like us.

Where is this "with us"?
- With us in Afghanistan.

How long have you been here?
- Me? Three years.

Three years... And I'm five.

You know what, let's drink to that...

which were the most beautiful
years of our lives.

What's up, Misha?

Did I say something bad?
- Nothing, sorry, nothing.

Nothing, forgive me.

Misha, don't drink anymore.
- Why?

Because you've had enough.
- Because you that's how you handled it?

Solved it for me?
Why does everyone decide for me?

It's time to go.

Will you escort me?
- Of course.

Tell me, Tanya, why Bandura
and next year... Excuse me.

Why is he still a major?

There was one General saint,
because Bandura called him a "fool,"

while he was teaching at Moscow.

So that's him.
- Did you hear about it?

Yes, yes, I heard.
Tanya, you live alone?

Where, here or in the Union?
- No, here.

No, with two more.
- Then we can walk together together.

There's nowhere to go this way.
- Let's go there for the officer's desk.

It's completely dark there.

That's good.

Are you going to tell your wife about me?

If she asks.

And if she doesn't ask?

A strange question.

You are so tormented...
-I'm fine.

I don't want to rub it in.

I understand well,
That there's a life here and there's another there.

And what matters here is
total stupidity there.

Do not worry about me.

I will not die in the Union. I...

will get there as soon as I can,
I'll marry right away.

To who?

A stupid question.

To anyone.

I'm going have to a baby.
It's the time.

That's how I'm going to live.
You over there, me over here.

It looks like Tanya is right...

If these were the best
years of our lives.

In any case, mine.

I didn't tell you,
before you there was a lieutenant.

A doctor, he returned to the Union.

And what?
- A very similar parting.

Okay, I'll get the dishes.

Misha, you don't need...

What is it, Katya?

So... pour. Pour!

Come on, come on.

I'm a dog to the Union.

And what are you reading there...

I read that Pushkin
was a very good shot.

For fun, the flies were shot with guns.

And did he hit?
-And how.

No... Or they were huge,
or ours were really lying.

It seems simple, I could do it.

From a Makarov?
The first time?

- No hits.
- Why?

Because you're not Pushkin.

So, I'm not Pushkin?
- You are not.

Can I bet you a bottle?
- It's night now and the flies aren't flying...

There's one over there.

Shemakov, you are not Pushkin...
- I'm not?

Where is your fly?

Watch your step! I'm still a girl.
I'm saving myself for my husband.

Will you marry me?

I don't think Pushkin
would shoot at flies

at a close distance.
He would be a fool.

And Puškin probably shot
them, either on the ceiling,

Or on the wall.

In the name of Allah, let him
crawl the wall.

Wind correction.

Calm, calm.

I'm calm.
- So, Shemakov, half a liter.

What is that?
- Patrol!

No, you are not Pushkin.
You are not Pushkin.

Telobaldiev, the word "probably", does it always
separate with the wrist, or does it not?

Depends on context.

Dear Mom, I will be in the
Union for three days.

I'm afraid, probably, I'm
afraid, of coming home.

Ask David, if in Israel I need
to serve for another three years,

then I'm not going.
So do not sell the furniture.

It's alright.
- You think?

Trim me good.

Let me do it.

You're goong to look like Michael Jackson.
- We're see...

What are you scared of?

At the market you killed for the first time,
And you're afraid of needles.

Do you want to go like this?
- Yeah.

Drink, I give it to you from the heart.

Give.

Give him a light.
-Just a little...

Don't push it, I'll take it from the village
in the morning, and I'll give it all back.

Damn!
- Anesthesia, Rookie!

Listen, a real paratrooper
is not scared of pain!

Vasya, show him.
- Am I a clown?

Show him, de, don't act.
- I don't have a bottle.

I do.
- Come on.

Do they see? Hooray, Rookie!
-You have become beasts.

What did you say, son?
- Quiet, Vasya.

While you serve with us,
You'll do the same. Start, Denis.

Ivanov, what's up?

What are you holding?

Give me that.

Ivanov, give it to me.

Do you hear me?

Give it to me, come on.

Please, give it to me.

Open your hand.
You hear?

Open your hand, and give it to me.

Please.
- Without a fuse...

And now...
Now let go.

Come on, spread your fingers.
You hear?

Spread your fingers. I got it.
- I can't, Comrade Major.

I'm holding, spread your fingers.

Come on, let it go. One by one.

Calmly, one by one.

So, so, good. Like that...

Why?

Coward

Sergeant Arsonov, at your command...
- Who made that tattoo?

There was a dog...

So sergeant, let's warm up.

You're not getting a stitch?

Attack, we write in war trauma.

You will not find better, Comrade Major.
- Come on, come on.

Make sure you don't get a stitch!
-I'll be rougher.

Dog, if something happens
to Ivanov, take good care of me.

You understand?

I understand, I understand.
- Like that...

I had to break the watch.

There is no sleep tonight.
Check if the vehicles are ready.

We go out at 5:00.

Can I ask you a qyestion, Comrade Major?

Why did not you defend me,

when the older soldiers mistreated me?

Or do not you know who broke my teeth out?!

Good morning.

Hello, Comrade Colonel.

Why is that? We can go to "you." (informal)

Why did you get up so early?
- My flight will take off at 12 o'clock.

There's a flight to the morning.
-Really? All one.

I need to get things ready.

Wait. Have breakfast, and then tea to drink...
- Thanks, I can't.

Katya.

You are an independent person.
You can do whatever you want.

Just remember.

Breaking easy, and
putting it together is hard.

You don't love me, I know...
Nothing! But I love you.

Why are you laughing?
- There is one such opera, just...

Faster, faster boys.

Guys, get it faster.

And what now, Comrade Senior Lieutenant,

if they use this weapon
to shoot at ours?

Stop it, Anisimov.

Why, I spend half
a year with them.

Say it, Denis.
- Why are you rambling?

He'll be gone.
The war is over.

Sorry, Commander Sahib.
Five minutes late.

That's Adil. All this
year, he fought with you.

He says he knows you. You killed two
brothers and his sister's husband.

But you are now a guest.
And the guest is a gift from Allah.

He was also a killer.
He was killing my brothers.

He says your brothers
were not his guests.

Everything, Comrade Major.

If he wants, he can count it.

Excuse me, sahib. Before the
war, he was a regular shepherd.

That's why it's Chapaev now.

Forgive me, sahib, I'll tell you the truth.

Those you do not kill,
he will come to him.

And you? You didn't leave.

I hate them all.
I am between you and them.

And there are other sides...

They all fight...

Here's you aspirin.
- Thank you, sahib.

Can I take the crates?
- Take them.

It's heavy.
- It's big enough.

Tell him to sign it.

That's all.

He says to bring more weapons.
He's going to be fighting a long time.

It will be without me.

Get down, hide behind the transporter!
Quickly!

The machine gun is up there!
You can't see it from the sun.

Get down!

Get outta there!

Run you bastard, look!

Dog!

Siyedih! Quick, to the tank,
let him lead the way.

Go ahead, Siyedih, do not be afraid.
What is it, boy. Come on!

He was wounded, Comrade Major.

Get him over here.

Steklov, what's up?

Do not make a mistake.

Arsonov! Look after Steklov.
Cover me!

- I understand.

Come on, boys. To capture the bandits!

Stop fooling, where are you going to be?

I can't take it anymore!

It takes a road to be scattered,
Put the tanker away, alright?

I'm not going there.
- Get out, you mother!

Anyone...
- Everybody out!

Is it normal?

Allow me, comrade captain.
- Stop, stop. Help.

Give the next, fast, it's an emergency.

Senior lieutenant to the operating
room, a soldier in the morgue.

Is it the Senior Lieutenant's son?

And the soldier died?

Since I took over the machine, another
soldier dies in transport.

Your superiors are coming.

Comrade Colonel!
- Steklov, is he alive?

Wounded, taken to surgery.
- Status?

Critical. And Soldier Siyedih was killed.

And I wanted to serve in Ukraine...

To serve in Ukraine...

What is Ukraine now?

That's for a Court Martial!

And you, where were you looking?

Why did I send you?
Why only unpleasantness from you?

What?

Who attacked?
- I do not know.

And what do you know? I know!
Adil attacked you, Adil!

Calm down, don't play the fool.
- How are you talking to me?

As you are with me.

Listen...

Maybe we should blast this village
to the Devil.

He was attacking us during the
delivery of food, there were dead...

And if they are not?

Let them cope, they're all the same.
-Comrade Lieutenant, you have a call.

Take the patrol and don't let him in.
I'll be right there.

Get in the car, Gulahan's here.

Why did you come here?
- Did you know that Adil would attack us?

That wasn't Adil.
- Then who?

Another group. They live...
Do you know Melnica?

They want you to attack Adil for that.
- Who are these people?

From Peshuar. Our master's son.
The whole valley is his.

And Adil?
- What about Adil?

And he's afraid of them.
Who is he, an ordinary shepherd.

Adil bothers them.
- How do you know?

How do you know it!

They came to me tonight.

It's hard for me to talk about it, I
swear to Allah I'm telling you the truth.

Why did not you tell us when
we were in the village?

I'm afraid.
- And now you're afraid, you mean lying again!

I can not speak, we
do not talk about it.

You have to say, dog!

If you're lying to me now,
we're going to shoot you. Clear?

You do not know our customs, sahib.

I married Shafka, my other wife.

She was supposed to marry for our
master's son. He saw her.

He knows I married.
He will not do anything to me.

Adil worries them more,
and what are they going to do to me?

But if there is no Adil,
I won't be here either.

Attack him, sahib!
- Screw you...

Attack him, to save
your regiment, to save me!

To Headquarters.

And why marry?

I thought... He's not coming back.

Alright, stay here with us for now.

I can not, sahib. They
think I went to town.

If I do not come back, they'll
slaughter my whole family.

Give him an automatic.

Excuse me, Comrade Major.
Yours?

Yes, mine.

Let's put it on.
Pick him up.

What are you doing?
- What is that?

Misha, get outta here. Is prohibited!

I want to know, how Steklov is?
- Very bad, we're just starting.

Step aside, commander.
Don't interfere with the operation.

Come in for two hours.
- The dog is your captain.

This is the village of Kaheli, the southern part.
Down there is the Melnica River.

That's where they came from in Pakistan.
Their intentions are unknown to us.

If we leave them alive, it could
be dangerous during the regiment's withdrawl.

I bring orders to the
Battery company to deploy here.

That's where the place is.
Some go north, there's Adil.

The second part occupies the southern part of the village,
He occupies the position and traps the drivers.

Further to the situation.
Adila won't touch it, it's neutral.

And if he strikes?
- No, Comrade General.

Who's going?
- Major Bandura, a brave and experienced officer.

Fire Support, if Needed?
- We hope the operation will be quiet.

But if it's needed, there's a
Mi-24 and an artillery battery.

What do you think, Dželal?
- I agree.

Soldier Sideyih, Donetsk Oblast

Where?
- Donetsk, Pribaltik and Podmoskovlje.

Comrade Officers, please sit down.

Prepare to take off...

In Afghanistan,

in "The Black Tulip",

with vodka in the glass we're
flying quiely over the earth.

Steel bird, across the border

to the Russian land,
carries the boys home.

In "The Black Tulip"

I have a mission

travel to the homeland, a
mile, into the ground to lie down.

To the escape without end,
torn to pieces,

and never, never to
embrace the warm breast,

when over the oasis of Jalalabad
She blamed it on our winged "Tulip ",

We cursed this business:
Again, the "bargain" summed up the losses.

In Shinda, Kandahar and Bagram,
a heavy stone is on the soul again.

And again, I'm bringing back the heroes
Who are only 20,

and they are already getting their grave.

But we have to endure,

We have to pick up,

If we break it, it
can be played here too.

They're shooting up,
The "Stingers" rush,

And if it happens, boys
will die for another time.

And we travel, not
really, like home.

Where there is no war and
everything is well known.

Where corpses see
once-a-year pilots,

Where the clouds don't hatch the choppers,

And we go from the wrath
of the clenched teeth,

While dry vodka
moistens our lips.

Come from Pakistan caravans,

So there's going to be more
Work for the "Tulip".

Nostalgia...

Vasya, talk to me.
-I'm not very good at talking.

Ask me, I'll talk.

Are you from Leningrad?
- What?

Is sclerosis catching you?
Vasya, you asked me...

I can't ask.
- Okay, I'll answer you.

Yes, I am from Leningrad, from the
town of three revolutions.

A good conversation with you
has turned out to be meaningful.

My sister lives in Leningrad, working in
a laundry, living in a common apartment.

And my other sister is in
Moscow, also in common.

It's a famous story.
- I want to go home.

My mother writes to me that
my dad drinks like an alcoholic.

And I, thank God, don't have a father at all.

You see how black I am, maybe I'm
not Russian. I do not know.

My mother will not tell me.

Nostalgia Vasya, huh?

Tell me something nice about your village.

What? The place is beautiful.
- Yeah, pretty.

A post office...they bring films,
if the roads are not muddy.

Otherwise, television remains.

Understood. How do you do you with women, Vasya?
In a haystack?

It's bad with women. Gone. As soon as they reach
15, they send them to the city immediately.

We don't have such problems.

In the evening, you go to the disco,
take the "green" and the bottle.

Why do you want green, for menses?

You're stupid, "green" means
money, do you understand?

And after?
- What after?

About women.
- And, woman...

There are different varieties.

You take a Miss from
a medical school,

take her to coffee, and
after you have a party.

Simple example: Choose someone from
a common apartment and go to her.

And if he wants, he do it in the doorway.
Like that!

But it's better in the apartment.
I had one such, Izabela Anisimova.

I've been partying with her all week,
How it was. And on, and on...

Her last name is yours.
You are Onisimov and she Anisimov.

The little one is good, but
then her boyfriend comes.

Awesome, and was he black or white?

Who knows, they all fade.
- And blue eyes?

You became a poet, man.
Who else is looking into their eyes?

My sister...Bastard!

Wait, Vasya? Vasya!

This is Izabela, and the last name is an "a"!

That idiot was constantly asking for her
first name, and she did not want to be Galya.

How? Wait, Vasya.

I was with you together...
You were carrying me when I hurt my leg, remember?

Vasya, don't say that.

Wait, what is your sister like,
tall or short?

Short.
- You see.

Mine was this big,
With huge tits.

And Galya has breasts.
- I'm not saying she didn't.

Kazakh, that my height was tall.
You said Galya was short. Is that right?

You see? And mine was tall..

Hey, that's it.
And does she say, short or tall?

Short.
- You see!

And mine, Vasya, was tall.

Do you mind my nostalgia, Vasja?

Vasily, to the ground!

What are you doing, there's nobody there!
- I think there is, shoot the machine gun!

What?
- Stop, he ran away.

Denis, maybe there's nobody out there?

Maybe not.

... And he does not pay attention to the wife.
And she does everything.

Once he was welcomed naked,
the second time he went,

with pearls sealed...
No use at all.

Then it occurred to
her to put mascara on.

And it's all like
nothing happens.

Then she said, "Dear, do you
see any changes to me?"

And he looked at her, and said,
What, you shaved your eyebrows?

There's another joke:
In Kabul there is a mule.

A passerby yells to her: Allah Akbar!
And she says, "Truly Akkbar!"

Friends, let's drink to those
who are now in positions.

That's right, Comrade general, for them.
- Jalil, do you want to drink one?

Muhammad forbade him to drink wine.
But he did not say anything about vodka.

For such a toast, I have to drink.
- Good.

And you Major, why do you just drink half?
- He's going to the village tomorrow.

No Bandura, we're leaving in
two days from this land.

And in the Union the brain is in reserve...

Do you think what you are talking
about, Viktor Mikhailovich?

I did not understand?
- Excuse me, Jalil.

When it comes to drink, talk about stupidity.

Nothing.
- I mean in another sense.

It's all normal.
- All right, let's forget.

How is Steklov?
- Bad, comrade general.

War begins with politicians,
and soldiers die.

There is no war without a
sacrifice, and they will still be.

But we are obliged to do everything,
to make them as few as possible.

Let us have a drink for those
who have not returned.

What is it, Jalil?
You can go to Ramadan tonight.

My family is in Kandahar.

Didn't you move them?
Take them to Kabul.

And from Kabul where?

There you will take the automatic
and you will protect your own.

Do you mind, Major?

I said take the automatic
and defend your family.

Outside the battalion, check it out.

Where's his leg?

It was not here when they brought him.

Is he aware of it?
- Occasionally.

You can talk to him.

Nikita.

Nikita!

Will he survive?
- Mmm...yes.

A little harder to dance.
The rest will serve.

The other guarantees the
Medical Academy. Do you drink alcohol?

No.
- I drink.

I would like to speak to Katya.

All right, just a short while.

And? What do you want me to tell me?

Be brave, say it.

Are we saying goodbye already?

I'll find you in the Union.

And a wife?

You're a fool, Misha.

I do not need you...

Maybe the general will be.

I do not think about that.

I'll find you in the Soviet Union.

I have to go.

You want a smoke, Major.

Take it, I'm not sorry.

All I have is a goddamn war and
your armies, and you too, Major.

Clear?

What are you doing, Misha?

You almost jeopardize the whole regiment!

Don't you realize what you said
In front of that Afghan?

Comrade Lieutenant Colonel,
Let me speak to you.

Please excuse me from
tomorrow's operation.

I hurt my leg.

What, are you scared now?

No, I can show you.

Just a moment...

Here's the wound. Limp.

That means...

Only two days left to go.

So you can rest for the two days.

You can sit down at the house. You can...

Just do not come out to my eyes...
to the Union. Quiet!

Hopefully we will not serve together there.

I'm sick of you!

Let me go.
- Go.

Next. Take it.

On the vehicles!

Davichenko, you're with your family
on the other transport.

Volodya, come down, I'll go.

Are you crazy?
The commander ordered me.

Listen to me.

I need to let him know.
- Of course, just fast, run.

Son, we should be in
position in two minutes.

And how...
- Go!

Make the order!

We arrived.

Ranch with you.
- Arsonov!

Guys, do not go too far.

Give me a map.

So...

We'll leave the vehicles
there, I'll go this way.

And you with yours over there.

At 5 am we are in the village.
- Understood.

Execute.

Buck up, guys!

Goodbye!
- I've got to fight you.

With me, or in general?

Both in general, and with you in particular.

Everything is plain and clear.
Losses are not great.

Fuck you, do not bother us!

What are you gonna do when you take off?
- I'm sure I'll stay in the army.

And I would love to be a
waiter in a good restaurant.

A waiter? Why?

Free food...

Pretty women... perfume.

And then - tipping.

I'd be a good waiter.

A real job for an officer
to resign.

General Arsonov!

You kidding?
- No.

Get up, guys!

Let's go.

I'm thirsty.

I'm peeing.
- Suffer.

I've been suffering for two hours.

Across the stream.

Faster, faster.

Come on, come on, Ivanov.

Give your hand.

He should have been patient.

No one to take.

Give it to me, Comrade Major.

What's with my leg?
- Hold on.

You and you stay with him.

Comrade Major, don't leave me.
- We have to go.

I'm gonna die!
- The helicopter will come quickly.

Endure. We have to go, guys!
- Comrade Major!

Comrade Major, don't leave me.
I'm gonna die!

Comrad Major!
Don't leave me!

Comrade Major...

Why are you hanging around here?
- And where to go, I've already packed stuff.

Momentum... Give the injection,
the one that cuts the teeth.

Take it, just a little bit,
and it's easier for you.

His fate? Somebody gets two
bullets, and his arms stay whole.

And I just... and I have no arms.
- All right, calm down.

Sleep.

I'm thirsty, sister.
- Now, dear, now...

It's hot.
- There's no cold, they've taken all the refrigerators.

I'm sorry, dear.
- Long time?

As soon as the plane arrives, we'll leave.

The plane arrived. Popkov, do not
sleep, we'll be moving soon.

Can I take it?
- Yes of course.

Hi, do you have a lot of things?
- I don't.

There is a real horror in me.

God!

Oh God, I pray, please keep him alive.

Lord, do it so that
he remains alive.

That's my address in the Union.
Write to me, how you're doing.

No need, Comrade Colonel.
-Now he doesn't need to, and then who knows.

Think about it, write it down.
-I will remember you well, Comrade Colonel.

You're alone, you have no one,
I've been reading your file.

Ye, no one has to be as good as I am here.

Do not say that.
- That's what I'm talking about.

Find me, find me.
Find, find, find...

So... Adil!

That's all!

What the hell is he doing here?
Now his men will go violently.

Give me a radio!

Arsonov, come on!

Sasha, keep it.

Clearly, I did.

Where? Adil's attacking us, there will be dead.

Arsonov, come on!

Follow me!

Withdraw!

Fallen!

See him?
On the left!

Ivanov, back!

He's moving.

How are you?
- OK.

Standy for retreat.

Call Arsonov.

Laika, here first, answer.
Laika here first, answer!

Comrade Major, Arsonov and
Ivan are still in the village.

Yeah... They'll kill them.
They're thousands of them.

With one platoon against the battalion.
It's a tricky business!

Ivanov, you mother! I've been looking for you
all over the village. Are you hurt?

Ivanov!

Guys, we have to go.
- Yes, it does.

Let's go. Get rid of everything unnecessarily.

Help me, please.

Let's go, after me. Come on!
- OK.

Arsonov! Ivanov!

Vasya! Vasily...

I'll help you.

Hold on, Vasily.

Hold on, I'll help you now.

Vasya, listen.

Are you listening to me?
Vasya, hold on, don't die!

Vasya, I was lying to you
I did not have any Izabela.

I wanted to make a joke. I didn't
have either tall or short.

That's what matters! Don't die, Vasily.

Let's go.

I'll be alone.

Descend, descend.

Go away, Bandura.
Go fast.

The 44th, behind the mountain is a river, behind
the river is the boundary. How do you hear me?

44, how do you hear me?
- Understood.

We're leaving, we're leaving guys.

Let's go, we're leaving...
We're leaving guys!
