prison ways here
orwe'll correct them in a wink.
-Wait and see.
-Our granddad has arrived!
-What has happened? When? Who has arrived?
- Our granddad has. Holy shit!
Who has arrived?
Semenych, dear, is that you?
They said you were discharged
from military service.
Yeah, theywanted to and said
that l wouldn't be able to run any more.
l retorted that l was not going to run,
the infantrymen mostly crawl.
Keep it, Semenych, it is yours.
Thanks for preserving it.
Well, where did you take this goodies from?
We keep strengthening ties with the locals.
l exchanged it for a bar of chokolate.
OK. And the hospitals are low on that stuff.
-Really?
-Yeah, The Allies supplytheirfunny little cigarettes,
but they are far more inferior
to our homemade tobacco.
-lt is not the waywe do it here.
-What is not the way?
Taking things
without asking for permission.
OK, we'll transform him into a real man.
-Yes, really. Well, Semenych!
- Here is yourfirst assignment, soldier.
-What should l do with it?
- Hold it.
No, l will not kill an animal.
l'm not a butcher.
-What animal?lt isjust a hen.
- l say l will not. l've seen a lot of blood.
OK, forget it, boy. Well, if all soldiers
who can walk, are released from hospitals.
there will be an offensive soon.
Nowwhat? l was told to report
to our security officer. Come on, Malakhov, move.
Look who is coming!
-Salute, comrade corporal.
- Salute.
- How is your health?
- Hi, Kuzma. Everything is OK.
Lida! l need to go to the division HQ. l've been
thinking about a gift for days. Tell me what you want.
You'd better return yourself.
You are my gift.
See you.
-Hi.
- Hi.
-l'm moving.
- To what place?
A hundred meters from here.
The deputy commanderforthe rear supplies
Lieutenant Colonel Nefedov.
Any requests or suggestions?
l'll help in anyway l can.
-Yes, there is a question.
-Which one?
lt is cold at night, and in the comm point
the stove is fumes.
Consider it done.
The corporal has returned from the hospital
and he is the best one at it. Let's go.
-OK, girls, see you. Think about me!
- Break your leg!
-You could leave the mirror behind.
- Let's go.
-A serious girl.
- Not a word of greeting orfarewell.
Corporal, how did you meet Malakhov?
l met him in the road.
He was heading for our unit disposition.
-What did you get your prison term for?
- Fortaking part in a fight. Article 286
-part 2 ofthe Criminal Code.
- Expand on that.
l gave a couple of punches to a drunk officer
who was harassing the girls at the dances.
Then his chums emerged.
Lekha and l were arrested.
l got five years, he got three. l'm sitting here
alive, and he remained dead on that road.
lt happens to many boys in
their green years, comrade captain!
Do not stand up for him, corporal!
He was trusted and he
deserted from his unit!
Are you mad, captain?
l volunteered forthe battlefield.
Calm down, man.
None ofthis stuff here.
Yes, l'm an honest thief
and you all are cheap scum here. Guards!
-Take him away!
-Wow!
No discipline at all,
but this drawback can be corrected,
comrade captain. And he is a good soldier,
believe me.
His comrades died and he survived.
Why?
-Why?
- Because he knew about the ambush in advance.
No. This is his Army card.
Everything seems to be OK.
He might have killed somebody and used his docs.
And do not waste your efforts standing up for him.
l have the memo that the enemy
is targeting out top officers.
There'll be an inspection from the division HQ
tomorrow. l have a reason to be suspicious..
-l got it.
- Have some.
Thanks. l'll take some
for our boys ifyou permit.
We are going on a mission tonight.
Are you taking that forthe boys
who can not take a proper prisoner?
Who spend their nights at the farm
ofthis Polish peasant...What's the name of
the owner ofthe farm
where your guys dine? Marek?
He is said to have served both the Vlasov traitors
and the occupants, isn't he?
Yes, it is wonderful
that your
