not true. It couldn't have happened. Nowadays everybody is telling bad things about Stalin.
Let's at least be glad that our Tanyka is not getting married to a German.
That's true.
Germans reached Stalingrad during war, but Swedes reached only Poltava.
Did you meet your Swede in Poltava?
OK, the history lesson is over. Pour some more into our glasses.
It is also good to eat something while drinking.
Excuse me please.
I think Ivan Afanasyevich died over there.
You don't have all the necessary documents in order to start the procedure, Tatyana Nikolayevna.
Why not?
Let us check together.
Ok.
The forms in triplicate,
Yes.
A document from your job.
Yes.
The references, the invitation to Sweden,
The agreement of your mother, Zaitseva Alla Sergeyevna is officially registered by the notary,
Yes.
And where is the agreement of your father?
Which father?
All my life I lived with my mother and I don't have any father.
Tatyana Nikolayevna.. Children are usually being conceived with the help of a man.
You gonna explain me now, how children are born?
So, you have to give us the agreement of your father, oficially registered by notary, in his presence there,
That he doesn't have any economical objections to you leaving abroad, and gives his parental agreement.
Oh my God.. Are you crazy?
He has not lived with us for more than 20 years now.
It has always been only my mother who was supporting our family.
You understand that during all those 20 years we haven't seen any single penny from him?
Don't you believe me?
I do believe you, but the document is needed.
Ok. But what if he died?
Hallo.
Hallo. Hallo.
Doctor, come in, please. I've been told that you will come only in the afternoon.
I'm not the doctor. I need Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich.
So, then you are from social welfare! I am Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich.
Stasik, why are you scared? The lady is nice.
Calm down. Nastenka, take Stasik and go and play in another room so that you will not scare your mother.
Go, go. Meanwhile I will talk to this lady in the kitchen.
Lyusenka, this is not a doctor, this is a comrade from a social welfare.
Are you really Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich?
You want to see my pass? Wait a moment...
No... thanks... it's not needed.
Come in, please.
What is the matter with your legs?
Why? You know well! I have arthritis.
You pay me a handicapped pension! You are from social welfare, aren't you?
No. I'm not from social welfare.
Interesting..
So, where are you from then?
Why don't you get some dental work done?
Daughter?!
I don't have time for the dentist.
Though since I'm a handicapped of the second category, they should do it free of charge.
That is why you don't shave?
No. I don't shave only at home. But at my work or among the people, I'm always shaven.
Do you work?
Sure! Care-taker in a tram depot.
One day and one night working and then 3 days off.
It's very convenient.
It's pure luck that I'm handicapped with the right for work.
So, we are actually living rather well.
Yes, I see.
The most important thing it to cure Lyusenka.
Otherwise she is only lying in bed, after she gave birth to Stasik.
The doctors say, it is something in her brain.
How is mama?
What is your business with her?
Well, just asking.
Listen, I'm getting married.
Congratulations, daughter!
First of all I'm not a daughter of you.
Secondly, your congratulations to me are like a pair of glasses for an ass.
Thirdly, I'm getting married to a foreigner and moving abroad.
The only thing needed from you is to sign the document at notary's, that you don't have any economical objections to me and don't mind against me going abroad.
Are you crazy? Which objections could I have?
Wow.. abroad!?
But that means that you are leaving your motherland forever?
Your motherland... but what about your mother?
Have you thought about her?
Have you thought a lot about her?
We can't speak without some toast.
Would you like to drink with me?
I
