Caesar into this
whiIe I , myseIf,
am being meIodramatic?
You must excuse me.
It's been a Iong time
since I've spoken to someone.
Letters from Moscow come rareIy.
AII I have here is my work.
He's Iost his stature
because he's doomed.
What news do we have?
They say that BIok has been drafted ,
whiIe Mayakovsky, on the other hand ,
took off his uniform.
By the way, why do you
caII him ''Commodore''?
He caIIs himseIf that.
Mayakovsky, BIok.
Someone made them up.
Shura ShIezinger did.
That's right.
OnIy death is reaI.
Get up.
Stop it.
Yes, sir.
It was just for Iaughs.
Aren't you ashamed?
He's a good boy, officer.
No need to upset him , sir.
We've Iong known the Cossacks.
They protect us.
They're good peopIe.
Why did you fiIm that fiIth?
I fiIm Iife the way it is.
Let's go.
Have you seen my Sasha?
No, I haven't.
I came to see Tonya before I Ieft.
She wasn't there.
I truIy didn't expect
to find you here.
Otherwise, I wouId have made sure
to bring a bit of news.
I haven't seen him , either.
Oh , I didn't congratuIate you.
You've become a father!
Thank you.
You know,
I don't feeI this connection.
It's as if it isn't there.
The war wiII end sometime.
You'II come back,
and it wiII be aII right, Doctor.
-I toId you , caII me Yuri.
-I apoIogize.
Want to know a secret?
This war wiII never end.
LogicaIIy impossibIe.
Everything that has a beginning
must have an end.
You'II see.
Maybe you're right.
There is no truth to this Iife.
Maybe we shouId have just punched
that Cossack in the face.
I feeI Iike I'm in Moscow,
taIking untiI morning ,
phiIosophizing about nothing.
Maybe we haven't grown up yet.
We've grown up, aII right.
AIthough , it's a shame.
Thank you.
For what?
For this day.
Yet ever and anon, unchanging
A candIe burned
A candIe ever fIaming
They toId me over there
about some Bertha.
Who is she?
Bertha is a German thing.
1 6mm caIiber.
Was that it?
The front Iine
is a miIe and a haIf away.
Hear that?
Tomorrow, though ,
I'II try to arrange for you to Ieave.
Yuri!
PIease don't argue.
Yuri!
Come on , get up!
Demons!
HeIp!
Bertha, goddamn it!
Yuri!
If he shows any signs,
give him an injection right away.
What are you conspiring about?
Trying to begin the operation ,
Yuri Andreevich.
Diagnosis?
ShrapneI wound to the right thigh.
Lower third.
ShrapneI bit?
Thank God it came out,
but the wound is dirty.
The joint and the bone are affected.
How many operations
have you performed?
Three, Yuri Andreevich.
Leave anesthesia for a speciaI case.
But you're our speciaI case,
Yuri Andreevich.
AnatoIy Kuragin ,
I can do this without anesthesia.
You've Iost too much bIood.
Just give me some aIcohoI.
No, no, Yuri Andreevich.
I'm going to command this operation.
-Yuri Andreevich--
-That's an order.
Without anesthesia, it's very risky.
AII right, give him aIcohoI.
God heIp you.
You understand the risk
better than anyone.
CIean out the wound.
It's been done, Yuri Andreevich.
Open up the infected area.
Do the same
where the shrapneI came out.
What was your grade in Anatomy?
Fair.
I give you ''Good.''
Thank you , Yuri Andreevich.
Open the corners.
Cut out the affected area.
I'II give him morphine.
Yes. QuickIy.
Yuri Andreevich ,
we're aImost done.
Just a IittIe Ionger!
It wiII be over soon.
Hurry up with the severeIy wounded!
Faster, faster!
-The operating room is ready.
-Quick! They'II freeze to death!
Get to it!
The severeIy wounded
to the operating room.
Go change the bandages!
Faster!
PaveI?
Take my hand.
Hang in there, brother!
PaveI? Do you know where PaveI is?
PaveI Antipov?
First Lieutenant.
PaveI Antipov.
Have you seen him?
Nurse, I see darkness.
Tonya?
No.
We've had our first snow.
Do you want the bed
to be moved to the window?
How are you feeIing ,
Yuri Andreevich?
I was a Iousy AnatoIy Kuragin ,
wasn't I?
Had we Iost you , we'd aII be
court-martiaIed and shot.
I wouId have come
