interrogating me?
I'm going to leave.
All right. Was it Yurka again?
What's this?
Dad!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Dad!
Oh, God!
- Let me in.
- Iskra is sleeping.
Let me in. Let me in!
Iskra, get up!
Iskra!
What?
Zinka, what happened?
They arrested Lyuberetsky.
Arrested whom?
Vika Lyuberetskaya's father!
A few minutes ago.
I saw it myself.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
What happened, mom?
Mom, darling.
What's the matter, mom?
Mom.
I believe in justice, girls.
Yes, I believe in it, too.
They'll look into it and let him go.
Right, Zina?
Come on, go to bed with Iskra.
And don't talk.
I'll go to your parents and explain.
Go to bed.
She's neglecting her girl.
Never even cooks
a dinner for her daughter.
Where to cook?
She hasn't even got a primus-stove.
Jesus, why have children then...
Just look at her, what she
looks like, what she wears...
Have you got sugar?
Can l borrow some?
Let's go and look.
There must be some.
AUGUST 18
AVlATlON DAY
Hurry up, guys,
They've started already!
Stameskin! Stameskin!
Way to go!
Let's give him a lift!
This is Sasha Stameskin.
I've heard of you.
Good boy.
He makes great models!
We should give him a helmet.
It may come handy.
Here.
Thank you very much.
GREETlNGS TO THE GREAT STALlN
Good morning, Nikolai Grigoryevich.
Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning.
Let's go to my office.
- What is your name?
- Comrade Polyakova.
I'm here about
Victoria Lyuberetskaya.
The girl is left all alone.
We must write to her relatives.
We will. But this is
a misunderstanding, some nonsense!
Lyuberetsky is an honest man, and
it's our duty to inform the Part.
I ask you not to do anything.
- Why not?
- lt's none of your business.
Besides the duty,
there's the law.
You think so?
I knew Lyuberetsky
back in the Civil War,
and then here,
we worked together in the city.
I have a feeling I'll break down
soon, or maybe already have.
Let's go to my office...
Please, don't tell anyone
about our conversation.
Right.
Nikolai Gavrilovich
Chernyshevsky was born...
Was born...
Ostapchuk, why are you mumbling?
- How do you know?
- Polyakova!
Stop whispering.
I can see and hear everything.
No, not everything.
Go to your place,
you good-for-nothing.
Leave your diary.
And Iskra (Russian for "spark")
flared up into a flame.
Let's go on with our lesson.
Landys.
You fidget all the time,
so you must know a lot.
May l step out?
What happened?
Are you sick?
Yes, I feel sick.
I feel very sick!
Sit down, Schefer.
You can't accompany
Polyakova where she ran to.
I can accompany her.
What has happened?
What's the matter? What is it...
Is it a conspiracy?
- Where have you been?
- At Vika Lyuberetskaya's.
I knew you were crazy,
but not that crazy...
Why are you checking on me?
Are you jealous or what?
Do you know that Lyuberetsky
is the enemy of the people?
What are you talking about?
Say you were justjoking.
I know it for sure.
And he personally called the secret
plant to get me a job there.
I was waiting for you
in order to warn you.
Warn me about what?
What do you mean?
About that.
Oh, about that!
Thank you very much, Sasha!
And what about Vika?
What does Vika have to do with it?
Exactly,
Vika has nothing to do with it!
Vika is my friend, Sasha.
And you want me
to betray her.
Even if it's true,
Vika has nothing to do with it.
You understand?
- And you...
- What about me?
Nothing.
I guess I just imagined it.
All right, Sasha, go.
Wait, lskra!
Go home, Sasha.
I want to be alone.
Vika, as an honest person,
as a Komsomol member,
and l have no doubt about
your Komsomol honesty,
you must tomorrow...
before our whole school...
as before our whole people...
renounce your father.
You remember
how it was with Nikiforov.
I shall never do that!
Oh, is it so?!
All right, call Polyakova.
Daughter of an enemy of the people!
Daughter of an enemy of the people!
What did you tell Vika,
Valentina Andronovna? What?
It's none of
