doing?!
So what, guys, is it time for me?
- It’s time, father, go.
- We are blessing you.
Thank you! I’m leaving!
Lord, help us and save us, please!
Dear brothers and sisters,
…let our place
with all its close-by villages…
…and gardens be blessed.
Starting the first centuries in Russia,
...arrival from the water,
on a boat, and on a steamer...
…was considered a good sign.
As it says: all are blessed
who sailed to the polls.
And let them all be met with open heart
…let them be fed, provided drinks…
…and put to bed.
What, priest, won’t you drink
to the health of our Cossack chief man?
For checking reason, the whole glass.
You’re hoping to scare me?
Me, the orthodox father!
And with what?!
To the chief man!
Well, you, father,
is a frantic minister of religion.
But why do some
get everything and some get nothing?
[Singing:] There where a maple rustle
over the river waves…
…you and I are talking about love.
That maple finished rustling,
haze’s covered the sight.
And love, as a dream, passed by.
Stop! That’s it, I came.
Give me the mic and go away.
I have something to tell them.
[Holy Father:] Vote, everybody!
Well, my dearest friends,
…Father Innokentiy blessed
our half rally half concert.
And now the candidate for the governor
of our region will take the stage.
…Igor Vladimirovich Tsaplin.
Victoria Alexandrovna, I beg you,
please, get her out of here.
Lesha, I’m really sorry. It’s my fault.
Hey! They’re chasing us out of here.
Let’s go to the bar then.
I’ll call Volodya.
You called him like 30 times already.
Then I’ll call him 30 times more.
He’s my husband after all. My honey.
Bastard! Son of a bitch! Jerk!
Cossacks, being a grand nephew...
...of Grigory Melikhov,
how can I not know this?..
Is he really
Grigory Melikhov’s grand nephew?
- Well, if he says so.
- Dear God!
And I’ll agree with the great
Cossack poet…
…Alexander Yakovlevich Rozembaum:
…it’s not just a Cossack’s cavalry sword
that is dear to this land
but also a gavelock…
….which is his dear friend.
In short,
I don’t want to see this mess any more!
We all think alike here, we’re a team!
And not until
each member of the team does his best…
…will we be able
to resolve the task at hand.
And now go and clean yourselves.
A real leader!
Let’s drink to that "team"!
God help us!
[Ataman:]
That’s right, candidate! Right!
- Give me the sword!
- The sword? – The sword!
We just wanted
to present it to our current governor...
...but just look
at what he did to us -...
…he went to Moscow!
What’s more important to him
Moscow over there or us here?!
So, Cossacks, should I present
the sword to Igor Vladimirovich?
Lyubo!
So, take it
as a sign of our love and respect.
[Singing:] Oh my glass, my silver glass
which I put on the sword.
Excuse me, who is Lyuba?
[Moscow. Mir Hotel] All right.
If they don’t see us before
two o’clock tomorrow we are going.
They didn’t tell us
either "yes" or "no".
You were able to do that.
Then you are making your own decisions.
I'll make a decision myself.
Well, then why did they call you up?
Man, why did you tell me about that?!
[Singing:] Don’t! Don’t be afraid of me!
I won’t touch you – don’t worry.
Don’t! Don’t be afraid of me!
I won’t touch you - don’t worry.
Ok, boys,
…everything
that we offered about gavelocks –...
...we hit the bull's eye on everything.
Let’s drink to
your fair heads!
It’s the third time already.
How about fair ladies?..
- Your name? Nonna?
- Nonna. – Oh, thanks.
Dear Nonna, dear Svetlana…
- I’m Lelya.
- I remember.
And, of course,
dear Victoria Alexandrovna.
It’s difficult to express the feelings
that we have now
…this feeling that embraces this, this…
-Let’s have a drink.
- Thank you.
Two scotches, please.
The white stripe has started.
[TV:] Today people wearing white clothes
walked around the city, chanting:
..."Done with king Herod!
Done with Emelyanov!"
Rumor has it that for tomorrow
a big
