Ilyitch was an alcoholic.
I'll finish it so it
won't turn sour.
Did he pester you? I'm talking
about Commander Yurchenko.
Typical behavior for a man
who drank more than the norm.
The norm?
First Sergeant Lubotchkin could
put down a liter and a half...
and go out on
a date no problem.
I didn't ask you. I'm interested
in Valentina Fedorovna.
Did Yurchenko harass her?
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
Thank you for a lovely dinner.
I believe a talented person
is talented in everything.
You were a great designer and
now a great cook, I mean chef.
So, when are you expecting?
In about six months.
But I can keep working.
There's no doubt.
It's not my right to interfere.
Did the father know that
he was going to have a child?
Yes, I knew.
Valentina told me.
Please understand. There was
no time to legalize our relationship.
What?
I know we're not married,
but I won't disown my child.
We can legalize our union
if Valentina doesn't object.
Chernikhh, let's go.
You arrived here on
the eleventh of last month.
Your future wife
is in her third.
Nonsense.
Why did you do that?
Life may have worn me down,
but I'm not old.
I know.
But why did you say that?
Will you agree to be my wife?
I'll go, Sergei Mikhailovitch.
I need some rest after all of this.
Heal.
Comrade Capitain.
The Internal Affairs Lieutenant
ordered me to send a telegraph.
Lieutenant Turovsky is to be
arrested when he arrives there.
Is it possible
he killed the Commander?
I don't know.
What does the Lieutenant
look like?
- I don't remember.
- Me neither.
The boys all look the same.
What should I do?
Orders are not discussed.
Orders are carried out.
"CHUKOTKA. 1944"
Don't worry, they're
not taking me to a camp.
They're taking me to a secret
institute to design airplanes.
Maybe they'll need
a cook there too.
Most important for you
is to take care of Roma.
I'll get in touch
as soon as I arrive.
I'll write if they'll let me.
Take care of sonny.
Roman Denisovitch!
Roman Denisovitch!
Take it. To get started.
Go home, Taras!
You can't return a present.
It's a souvenir from us.
- Translate!
- Presents are not returnable!
"CHUKOTKA. 1953"
How are you?
It's warm.
When will Roma
go hunting with you?
He's grown this past year.
He's become strong
like his father.
Soon. Stay here, son.
I'll be back soon.
It will be warm today.
Animals will come to the shore.
They will return with prey.
Don't scare the luck away.
Luck doesn't turn it's back
on those with skill.
Your mother is a great hunter.
She can shoot a coin
from three hundred paces.
She shoots and almost
never wastes a bullet.
I never saw my mother shoot
at coins.
It's stupid.
I just said it figuratively,
so you would understand.
I know she can shoot. That's
why she's in the hunting artel.
Hi, Ivan.
How are you?
I'm fine, Semyon.
It's a nice day today.
When does the store open?
You mustn't drink.
It will take your life.
You can, Semyon.
- Today you can.
- I can.
This was the day your son
Vasily flew off to the war.
Yes.
He would have been a big man.
He even flew to America.
Read it.
Everyone's heard it
a hundred times already.
There are some words
people can hear a thousand
times
but the meaning's only clear
after the thousand and first.
Read, Roma.
Glory To The Hero.
On June 14, 1944,
outnumbered and protecting
his friends,
Second Lieutenant Vasily
Popov died heroically.
Read on.
He shot down an enemy fighter,
after which his plane was struck
and he was mortally wounded...
No need to go on.
That's enough.
Uncle Ivan, explain something.
A man shoots an animal for food.
Or to get its skin
to make clothes or a boat.
Why would he shoot another man
if he's not going to eat him?
The question you ask is too
childish
if an adult can't answer it.
