forbid.
- A hundred percent Russian.
- You go to church?
Yes, Grigory Efimovich, wait...
See? My cross...
The cowl doesn't make the monk.
- I don't follow you.
- Never mind. Go on.
Our strength lies in the alliance
between the people and the monarchy.
Thus we can resist
the dangerous alien intrusion.
The invasion of foreign ideals
weaken our national purity
in exactly the same way
as the desire for money
weakens the spirit of humanity.
- Boris!
- Yes?
You planning to dip into the till?
Lord in His Grace has cast
His blessings on our nation
by placing just one step from the
throne a wise and prudent advisor,
a man of the peasantry
who has the intelligence...
...Of all hope bereft.
In the steppe out of the way
A coachman was freezing to death.
Mustering up his strength
Before his final rest...
To his comrade...
To his comrade he
Passed his last behest.
Dear comrade of mine...
Don't bear...
Don't bear a grudge,
Here, in this steppe,
Bury me and not judge.
Say to my dear wife
A word of farewell.
Give her my wedding ring,
For her to remember me well.
Hey, old man?
What do you want?
Want to be Prime Minister?
You've got it.
But remember: a single error,
and it'll be your funeral!

Concentrate on the navel area.
Exhale and contract the stomach.
Now inhale,
with your diaphragm relaxed...
Breathe deeply, ladies and
gentlemen...
There's no part of our body that...
Dmitry Pavlovich, Grand Duke
- What are you doing here, Felix?
- I came to say goodbye.
- I'll be leaving very shortly.
- Where to?
I might go to France or England.
Or Rome.
- For how long?
- For good.
P.A. Badmayev, "Owl", "Rotten",
Tibetan physician
Yesterday, at a gallery
we ran into "Holy Father".
He took one look at Irina and
went berserk. Do you understand?
We had left immediately.
The minute we walked in the house,
we were told he had called twice.
"My dear, why did you take your
wife away? When shall I meet her?"
I think I'm going mad.
I talked with the Czar the other
day.
They close their ears to anything
said against their saintly Grigory.
You'll notice that our peasants
never have lung diseases.
I hope the war will be over soon.
I'll be off to the country
and I'll sleep in a stable!
Dmitry, we need to make
a decision.
Breathe deeply, ladies and
gentlemen.
That will mean blood.
His is the devil's blood.
When it flows, it'll be green.
- Who will do it?
- There are good people in Russia.
M.M. Sukhotin, Lieutenant
Now, the breathing exercise
known as "The Crow".
We bring the cripples back to
life.
Join the workshop of the Grand
Duchess Maria Pavlovna.
- The water is boiling.
- Remove it from the fire.
Sasha, dear...
- Who is she, all dressed up?
- It's the Baroness.
Oh, that's her husband who
punched our Holy Saint!
She's to see the Holy Father.
He has been warned.
He's busy. All the garbage
that walks in here...
- I love my husband so much...
- I love my husband too.
There's no sin in that, my dear.
You are going to save your husband,
and be purified, too.
Give the bearer of this a job...
Needs salt.
That will do it.
- Thank you, our benefactor!
- The Lord bless you.
Please, excuse me,
may I get through?
Ah, Vanya, good to see you.
How is our friend Khvostov?
- Angry. Spit on him, and he sizzles.
- He'll cool down.
He may arrange to have you
summoned before the Duma.
We don't need summons.
- Grigory Efimovich, if you would...
- Can't you see he's busy? Go away!
Why? Why should he go first?
I've been here since Tuesday.
Here's my number.
What number? Beat it!
Beat it before I send you
to the trenches!
All of you, out! You with the baby,
you can stay.
The rest of you sing!
You'll be called later.
There's one thing you might do.
You've got plenty of influence.
See to it that the Emperor
appears before the Duma.
Why the devil would I get him
mixed up with those vultures?
You want to
