office.
Romadanovsky.
Time beat him up.
Raise the flag!
The ceiling is 2.5.
Turovsky and Gevorkyan
will lock off the line.
Everyone, stay in sight.
Most of the route will be flown
without signals from land.
Radio checks every ten
minutes.
We'll go along the coast and
turn to the mainland at the bay.
Comrade Capitain, the weather
report for the route.
The weather along the route
is favorable.
Any questions?
Ten-minute smoking break.
Squadron, at ease.
Is everything alright, Capitain?
Fine. Our best pilots will fly
the three new planes.
Don't worry, it's not the first time
and god willing, not the last.
Drain your bladders and anything
else before the long ferry.
Write letters to your
relatives and friends.
If you don't have any,
just fill out a Party application.
Fuse, are you an idiot
or just talking nonsense from fear?
It's probably nerves.
His butt hole is fl-fl-fl...
...flapping and shaking.
Exactly, Kaiser. You guessed it.
Morse, give me a smoke.
Here is the mail and
the planes' paperwork.
The cook asked for a pig
to give the allies some variety.
Very well.
Is there anything else?
We wish you all a safe flight.
Thank you.
Squadron, to your aircrafts.
Soldier.
- The allies took off?
- Yes, Foma Ilyitch.
Our pilots ferried the fighters
without any losses.
Everyone reached their destination.
Did anything happen
during my absence?
Everything's been quiet.
A new cook was sent
from the mainland.
- May I go, Comrade Commander?
- You are free.
I saw the greenhouses in Kolyma,
but yours are beyond compare.
It's nice to hear such kind
words about my modest garden.
Here's my pride, drainage with heat.
The steam's from the stove.
The fertilizer is mostly fish flour,
and, excuse me, human waste.
"Feces" scientifically speaking.
- Is that garlic?
- Yes.
It doesn't grow into a full-fledged
bulb, but what a smell.
Ever notice how harsh conditions
bring out the best qualities?
Excuse me,
What were you charged with,
spying or sabotage?
Sabotage.
It was spying for me,
in aid of Romania.
I asked the investigator,
how about Germany or France?
Romania's sort of insulting.
But no, so I'm a Romanian spy.
May I take some dill?
Of course, I'm not
growing it for show.
- Tea or soup right away?
- Give me soup.
Good morning, Foma Ilyitch.
How many times must I tell you?
You need to cool it.
It has to be cold.
Then it soothes the body.
It removes the gloom.
Understand?
Did I behave myself yesterday?
- Did I make a racket?
- No, Foma Ilyitch.
What do you mean "no"?
I'm heavy.
You're not heavy to me, sit.
I became heavy from you.
Well done.
You're sure it's from me?
- Excuse me.
- Stand still.
Who are you?
He's our new cook.
I'm not asking you, Valentina.
Civilian Romadanovsky,
sent to work as a cook.
All of my documents
are with administration.
Pour some more. Under which
article were you imprisoned?
Article 58, for 8 years. I was
released on December 17, 1942.
Not the borsch.
Why are you only pouring one?
Sit down.
Not you.
Romadanovsky, sit down.
I am the Airdrome Commander,
Yurchenko Foma Ilyitch.
Without my approval, not even
a fly can pass over here.
Excuse me, I don't drink.
I am afraid of possible ageusia.
Of what?
It's a temporary loss of taste.
Don't be afraid, drink.
Or should I order you?
Now tell me, how did you become
an enemy of the people?
Petrov, cover the outside.
Vasily.
Get in the goal.
I have no time.
I have a lot of work.
The captain shot a whole box
of bullets, but only got two birds.
What, the engine broke down?
In the village you can get two
fox furs
for a box of bullets.
Then you can trade them
to the Americans
for smokes or tins.
But what's the point?
It's stupid.
- What do you think?
- It's stupid.
A Chukcha won't ever take
a grenade. It's a stupid thing.
Last year a soldier tried to beat
off a polar bear with grenades.
He hurt himself and some others
and the animal escaped
