piled high with
goods. The stores are full.
Will you trade Russia for
your goods?
What's with you? What Russia?
Where have you seen it last?
It's every man himself.
Wherever you make your bed,
there's your homeland.
You lying dog!
A snake is known
by its hiss.
Don't you feed me what
I can't swallow!
A mother or a stepmother, it's
all the same to the rich!
Where they make a profit,
there is their motherland.
To us, the simple folk...
the Germans bring
certain death.
We must Invite Prince Alexander
and strike at the Germans!
- Alexander? Never!
- We don't want Alexander!
- We don't want him!
- Summon Alexander!
Let's not wait for Alexander.
We shall gather a host...
and strike at the Germans
ourselves!
Domash the son of Tverdislav
will lead us into battle.
He was seen harder battles than
this. Lead us, Domash!
- Domash for general!
- Lead us into battle, Domash!
We are beset by a great
misfortune.
A great trouble requires
a great man.
Not l, another leader is
needed here.
A man whose arm is stronger and
mind is clearer than mine...
whose glory has spread through the
land and reached the enemy!
Who is that man, brothers?
Prince Alexander, son
of Yaroslav!
We must invite Alexander and
call Russia to arms.
Otherwise the Germans will decimate
the Russian people.
We will be squeezed between the
Germans and the Mongols.
And then we'll know what
trouble means!
Call for Alexander!
City of Pskov
Great Master! Pskov is
at your feet.
That's not the way to make
cities surrender.
If you give me Novgorod
in this state.
I shall hang you on the
nearest tree.
Great Master! Order your
men to gather ropes!
Ropes? Why?
To tether the rebels at
Novgorod!
They brazenly decided to resist and
invited Prince Alexander.
That was the man who defeated
the Swedes on the Neva.
A man capable of defeating us
has not yet been born.
As to princes, I have
enough of my own.
The brave knight Hubertus.
As Lord of all the conquered
Russian lands
I dub you the Prince
of Pskov.
The glorious knight Dietlieb.
You shall be the Prince
of Novgorod.
Hurry to Novgorod, Ananias.
You must incite the residents
against Prince Alexander.
There is only one Lord,
who is in heaven...
and his pontiff on Earth
is but one.
There is only one sun to light
the whole universe
and lend its light to the
planets and stars.
Holly Rome alone shall
rule the world.
Whoever does not bow
to Rome...
shall be put to death!
Well, do you agree?
It won't be your way, Tvedilo. Russia
won't bow to the Germans.
We have beaten you in the past,
we shall beat you yet again!
All in good time!
Let me come with
you, father!
Go away, Vassilissa!
Remember our blood!
Avenge us!
Avenge us!
Burn us!
Wipe them off of the face
of the Earth!
Go to Peryaslavl.
Call Alexander!
Devastated Pskov is crying
out for you, Alexander!
PER YALSLAVL
Instead of mending nets we should
be fighting the Germans.
Go to sleep!
It's delicate work...
not like hitting the Swedes.
Prince! People from Novgorod
are asking to see you!
From Novgorod?
Bring me my ceremonial dress.
Let them in.
Greetings from the Great
City of Novgorod!
We have come to call you
to our aid.
Why? Have you quarreled
among yourselves...
and have no one separate you?
The enemy is near, Prince.
Izborsk has fallen.
Pskov taken.
Pskov?
The Germans are advancing
toward Novgorod.
Is Great Novgorod trembling
with fear?
Have pity on the
orphans, Prince.
Forget the affront,
Alexander.
Rise for Novgorod!
I shall rise to avenge the
suffering of Russia.
No truer words have ever been
spoken. Rise to her defense!
Defense? I do not know
how to defend.
We shall smite them with
all our power!
Your warriors are not inferior to
the Germans, Prince.
My bodyguard alone is
not enough.
We shall call the
peasants to arms.
With their help we shall surely
defeat the enemy by spring.
Arise, you Russian people!
In a just battle
