"Though it was not a simple feast, it was a banquet." "What d'you know!" "At parting, the governor gave me a 25-ruble bill." " No kidding?" "25 rubles?" " Twenty five." "Thank you, Kargin, for your service, he said." "He seems to like our Yelisey very much." "It's not for nothing that we've chosen him as our ataman."

"They must be driving them to Kutomara." "Where else?" "Hi there, fellow-villagers!" " Wolves are your fellow-villagers!" " Don't meddle in, you idiot!" "Didn't you recognize me?" " That's Vassily Ulybin." " Looks like him!" "Hello, Vassily!" " You, with your damn big mouth." " Why me?" "Ataman, order your men to keep their mouths shut!" " Sorry." "It was a man from our village." " It makes it more shameful for you." "Vassily Ulybin was led in shackles." "So it must be true that he messed with politics." " Shamed our whole village, bastard!" " Watch your language!" "And you, Guerasim, use your head next time!" "You and your big mouth!" "Run to the store and buy some sugar." "You can wash up later." "Kirillovna!" "Petya!" "Fedot, bring the home-brew from the cellar." "You got it?" "Got it!" " Kirillovna!" " What?" "Come on, get the vodka." "Cossacks are coming for a drinking spree." "What's taking you so long, Cossacks?" "Timofey, have you moved the seed grain from the second granary?" " We have, Sergei Ilyich." " Good." "Petya!" "Stop loafing about!" "Go and help Fedot." "You break loose one more time, I'll give you a good thrashing!" "I can show you something else." " How you doing, Sergei Ilyich." "Hello." "Come over later, my dear women." "Alyosha, get ready the food." "Prepare the herring from the old barrel." "With lots of onions." "Don't touch the zalom brand!" "Dismount!" "Timofey, wipe off the snot before entering the store." "I'll show you the snot!" "Welcome your guests, dear host." " How are you?" " Welcome, dear Cossacks." " Roman, water the horse first." " All right." " Hi, Roma!" " Hi." "You hate everybody." "Look at you..." "You blast everyone who manages his homestead well." "It's not good." " Will you answer my question?" " What question?" "Hold on for a moment!" "Tell me, Prokhor, how come you're so greedy?" "Me, greedy?" "You!" "You'd be ready to lick a snake for a kopeck!" "Don't try to dodge it." "Tell us, why are you so greedy?" "Fedot, carry them out and put in the shade." "Guerasim, let's go home." "He's still on his own feet." "He won't even listen to you." " Hello." " Hello." " How are you, Cossacks?" " Fine." "How are you?" " Hello, Yelisey Petrovich." " Hello." " Who is that, Yelisey?" " A blacksmith." "He's from town." "Wants to work here in the summer." " Come on, answer me." " Leave me alone!" "Is he good with his hands?" "He will fix any machine blindfolded." "He fixed up my reaper as good as new." "Did it for free, too." "Alyosha, mother will give you the change for the tea." "Cut out this shit." "I mean it." "You want to reap where you haven't sown!" "Why are you so mad?" "Because I've got nothing but wormwood in my barn!" " Who's to blame for that?" " Those who don't give me a chance!" "You take it a bit too far." "A Cossack who uses his brains..." " Yelisey Petrovich?" " Get out of here!" "A Cossack who uses his brains will always make it." "Sure, if he has no shame!" "You can do anything at someone else's expense." "So, you think only shameless people live well here?" "lsn't that so?" "Keep on talking this way, and you land up in the clink." "Sure, if you snitch on me," "I might join Vassily Ulybin up there." "Drunk or not, keep your tongue in check." "Think before talking." "You can't forget Vassily?" "I'm telling you, as your ataman:" "he disgraced our village!" "You will follow him to hard labor, if you keep talking like this." " Who, me?" " Yes, you." " No, you must answer me..." " Fedot, deliver him to his wife." "Come on, Timofey." "ldiot!" "Land up in the clink..." "He's teaching me... the ataman..." "Come on." "Let's go." "And the train goes off..." " Howdy!" " Hi, Roman!" " Hi!" "Is the granddad home?" " Aha." "Tell him we saw Vassily." "He was driven to Kutomara." "What did he say?" "Driven to Kutomara?" "Never mind." "Mr. Blacksmith, your change." "Where's your father?" " What do you want?" " A head of sugar." "On credit again?" "Father will kill me for doing that." "Alyosha!" "Give it to him!" " Fedot!" " What?" " Get a head of sugar." " Right away." "If I see you with Dashutka, I'll break your legs." " Oh yes?" " I warned you." " We'll see." " We'll see." "Coming down, coming down, Our street is wide and big!" "No one is walking there, Neither a rooster, nor a pig!" "Roman, they're coming." "I took along something, just in case." "All right." "Quiet." "Greetings, folks!" " Howdy!" " Hi, Timofey!" "Scat!" " Why?" " Get out!" "Why did you stop, honeys?" "We got scared of you." "He's so handsome, isn't he?" "Don't get scared." "There will be no scuffle today." " Am I right, guys?" " No scuffle if you don't start it." "Who is that so brave there?" "Ah, it's you, Roman!" "Good for you." "Come on, play your accordion, or I'm going to break this thing!" "Girls, I wanna dance!" "Katenka!" "Vassya, take her!" "Oh, you dear pretty gals, Do enjoy your dates with pals!" "Once you get your womanhood, You'll never have a time so good!" "Let me go!" "Just look at her, the princess!" "Fedot!" "I go out with two sweethearts, Having both is no crime." "I'm in love with one in winter, With the other, in summertime!" "Keep off, they're looking." "Let them look!" " Hi, Roman." " Hi!" "Leave her alone!" "You'd better leave yourself, or you'll get it in your teeth." "Just you dare, convict's seed!" "Roman, stop it!" " Fedot, we're being attacked!" " Coming!" "Do you want some more?" "Go away!" "Fedot!" "Hold it!" " Fedot!" " I'm here!" "Halt!" "You won't get away now!" "I've got you, bastard!" "Where are you going?" "Goodbye!" "Write to us!" "Oh you, a bull moose in heat!" "Roman." "Get lost..." " Why?" " To teach you a lesson." " What did I do?" " Why have you beaten up Alexei?" " What Alexei?" " You don't know, do you?" "Stop playing the victim!" "They told me everything." " I didn't beat him!" " Let go of the belt." "I was seeing a girl to her home, and he caught up with us and punched me." " You should've stepped aside." " Stop beating me!" "He called me a convict's seed, I couldn't take it." "A convict's seed?" "Scoundrel!" "That boy seems to be bad news." "A convict's seed." "What a thing to say." "Oh, Vassily, you're making a mess of our lives." "We're not responsible for Vassily." "He's chosen his own life." "That's what you and I think, but they look at it differently." "They're legitimate sons, we're bastards." "You got it harnessed?" "Put it in the cart." "Enough idling." "We got to go to the fields." "You had it coming." "Shame on you, old fool, brandishing your belt around like that." "I must teach him, or he'll grow up a good-for-nothing." " My children are as good as others." " Sure, they're even better." "Well, Roman, did you whack him aright for your uncle?" "He'll be squirming for a month, trying all kinds of remedies." "No kidding?" "Ganka, put the milk in the stream as soon as you're there." "Give it to me." "It's not a toy." " And don't crush the eggs." " Your eggs will be alright." "Uncle Parfyon, tomorrow's a battue." "We meet at the pasture." "Zakhar!" "Tomorrow we go hunting the wolves." "Aunt Agraphyona, where's Epifan?" "Epifan!" "What d'you want?" "Tomorrow we're going to hunt the wolves." "Meeting at the pasture." "All right." "What a stinker!" "He's got away." "We may never run into a wolf, and we've lost a hare..." "Damn you, Petka, you cross-eyed shooter..." " Lie down under the bank." " Right." "Oh greetings, Oh greetings, my mother..." "Some shooter around women's skirts!" "We felled a mature one." "They're all alone, like Cossacks with no ataman." "It was me who first fired at the mature one." "You sure did." "Right under his tail!" "He turned around, the sneak." "But he's a fine animal, isn't he?" " So he got two bullets?" " I fired at him, too." " Me too!" " I remember, last year..." "Look, Yelisey, the Mostov guys are mowing our meadow again!" "Parasites!" "Acting as if it's their own." "We won't let them get away with it!" "Let's catch them." "Dad, the Cossacks!" "Run to the village!" "Damn it!" "Don't come close!" "I'll cut you!" "Roman, stay away from it!" " Drop the scythe!" " I'll shoot you, damn thief!" "Go ahead, kill me, bastard, but you'll never get me alive!" "I told you, clumsy oaf, drop the scythe!" "Where are you going, stupid?" " What are you doing, you skunk?" " I'm going to chop your head off!" "Come on, turn yourself in!" "You'll have to pay the fine, anyway." "I don't give a damn about you!" "Yelisey, we should be making off!" "They are coming here." "They'll bleed us white." "Just you wait, I'll get you!" "Why?" "I'll explain when we get home." "Try to catch up with us, toed-in oafs!" " How are you?" "All right?" " All right." "Hardly beaten them off." "We'll teach you a lesson yet!" "What is it, Roman?" "Go ahead." "I'll be home right away." " You'll be late for the steam bath." " Go ahead, I said." " How you doing!" " Hi!" "Why are you such a chickenheart?" "You scared me out of my wits!" " How do you do, Daria Epifanovna." " Howdy!" "Oh, my goodness!" "Get out of here!" "Go!" "Down, Karai!" "To your place!" " I'll kill him one day!" " Someone may kill you first." "Who?" "Calm him down!" " Karai, down!" " Down, Karai!" "You know who." " You mean Fedot, don't you?" " Maybe, Fedot." "Yes, I'd better not get in his way." "Help me, don't just stand there." "Please, Roman, don't." " Karai, get down!" " Get out of here!" "So, you now go with a convoy?" "This way you'll keep your hands off." "There're too many girl-chasers." "Is Alexei one of them?" "I'll beat the hell out of him." "Well, he was treating me to sweets." "Big deal!" "Timofey and I are going to the gold-fields for the summer." "I'll buy up the whole Chekalov store." "All the sweets will be yours." " Roman, what is that?" " Nothing." "My father's whip." " Does it hurt?" " No..." "He's lying there with his mug in the dung..." " And what did you do?" " I said, get up..." "Stop it!" "Someone's coming." "I got to run." "The steam bath's ready." "See you tonight." "Keep the distance!" "Don't ride into each other!" "A distance of two horses." "Form up in file." "Following the leader, to surmount obstacles, go!" "Guide it to the center of the cross-piece." "The body up, when jumping!" "Next!" "Good!" "Go on!" "A bit to the right." "Good." "Come on!" "Your body!" "Why did you come loose?" "Fall in!" "Forward march!" "One-two!" "Platoon, halt!" "What is that?" "Turn left!" "Forward march!" "One-two, one-two!" ".." "Two-three!" "One-two-three!" "Batalov can't even keep up step!" "They're all like that." "No, Petka could make the Guards right away." "Feet up!" "Platoon, halt!" "Turn left!" "Stop shuffling like a cow on the ice!" " Shut up!" " Why are you picking on me?" "Don't dare talking to me while in formation!" "Three steps forward march!" "Turn right!" "Under the saber, forward march!" "Serves him right!" "It'll knock all the nonsense out of his head!" "But why?" "He's got no right!" " What for?" " You've got no right, Nikifor!" "What for, folks?" "Want to show off?" "Who do you think you are?" "You were not as brave during the war." "Don't interfere in our drill." "Platoon, halt!" "About face!" "Forward march!" "One-two, align!" " Gotcha?" " Get lost." "Just look at this prince!" "Platoon!" "Right wheel forward march!" "Dasha, are you going to the store?" " Hi!" " Hi!" "How you doing, old men?" "What's up?" "Nikifor is making a circus out of Roman Ulybin." " There's no circus!" " You just tell me, why?" "Silence!" " What happened, granddad?" " I don't understand, why?" "Come on, folks, let's see what this is all about." " It's not fair..." " He has only himself to blame..." "Platoon, halt!" "Cossack Ulybin, at ease!" "Go tell Yashka that I'm transferring you to his platoon." "Yes, sir!" "Sergeant Chepalov, come here!" " The ataman did the right thing." " Right!" "Yelisey, you shouldn't have made Nikifor look like a fool." "He is a fool!" "What did you punish the boy for?" "He doesn't think right." "Roman can go make the Guards right this minute!" "Shut up!" "No one's speaking to you." "You're marching to someone else's tune." "I'm a senior sergeant and holder of the St. George Cross, and you humiliate me in front of some milksop." " Sergeant Chepalov!" " I know my name." "Attention!" "You take too much on yourself, sergeant." "You're talking to your ataman, not your buddy!" "Stand to attention!" "You violated the law, Mr. Holder of the St. George Cross!" "Before a Cossack takes his oath, no one, not even a general, can put him under the saber." "Do you know what you deserve, according to the law?" "I don't know no laws." "In that case, don't say I'm marching to someone else's tune." "You can go." "As you were!" " You can go!" " Yes, sir!" "Platoon, right dress!" "Attention!" "About face!" "Forward march!" "One-two!" ".." " Have you bought your son a horse?" " Not yet, Yelisey." "Do whatever you want, but get him a horse!" "I'm not going to take the blame for you." "I can't afford it." "Otherwise, I would have done it long ago." "Others do no better than you, but they got horses." "What am I going to do?" "The only way is to sell the bulls." "Let's do it!" "What kind of a Cossack will Roman be without a horse?" "When I was young, I was ready to sell everything for a horse..." "Wait a minute!" "Yelisey!" "There are fugitives at Matryona Gully!" " I was coming back from..." " Convicts?" "How many?" "I saw one." "He's waiting for me." "I promised to bring him some bread." "We'll take him!" "We meet at the pasture with arms!" "Stop the drill!" "All go to the pasture!" " Turn to the gully." " Got it." "Stop running so fast!" "I'm out of breath." " What's up?" " There's a fugitive over there!" " We're in trouble!" "The Cossacks!" " Here comes your bread, bastard!" "Taras, wait!" " Hold on!" " Shut up, S.O.B., or I'll kill you!" "There they are, ataman!" "Halt!" "Halt, I'm telling you!" "Let's go over to the marshes." "We'll get them up there." "No shooting, I told you!" "Hey, you, in the marshes!" "I suggest that you give yourselves up." "You have nowhere to go, anyway." "He's done." "We should charge all at once, and that will be the end of it." "Ataman, why should we risk our lives?" " That's the guards' job." " Where are they, your guards?" " It's none of our business, ataman." " Shut your mouth." "With guns, they will give us no peace." "And I'll be made responsible for not having used my authority." "He missed!" "How about rounding them up?" " Rounding up?" " Yes!" "Forget it..." "Hey, you, in the marshes!" "That's our last offer!" "Beat it from here if you want to stay alive!" "Bastards!" "Prokhor!" "We're taking them alive!" "Why, Roman?" "Give up!" "Roman!" "They ran out of bullets." "Ah, you only live once..." "Come on!" "Take it to your right." "Stepan, to your right." "Are you crazy, man?" "Give up, you've lost your game." "Come on, shoot, son of a bitch!" "Hands up!" "You'll take me only after I hack you down, the wolves' feed." "ldiot!" "Drop the saber." " Who fired?" " I did." "What for?" "He wouldn't get away." "Just to be sure." "I see that killing a man for you is the same as to cut a chick's head!" "Where did he get a gun and the guard's uniform?" "If we took him alive, we would have found out." "Listen, Mitka, that's the one I met while hunting." "I told you, remember?" "With such a trifle, you could go to Platon." "I'm stealing his bread as it is." "He did fix it once." "The next day it fell apart." " We'll fix it for good." " How much will you sting me?" "You're a prickly character, aren't you?" "Sting you, hah..." "For friends, I can do it for nothing." "What friends?" "As for your rudeness, I'll forgive you this time." "Sorry if I did something wrong." "You're a man of the town." "I'm of the same dust as you are." "Come on!" "You've been here for a while, and never went to church." "You've got books." " Take some to read." " We don't need that." "Of course, it's much more fun to go chasing girls." " All right, what's your price?" " We'll come to an agreement." "Hey, boy, pump it, will you?" "I want to tell you something about your Vassily." "Can you keep your mouth shut?" "What's there to tell?" "Everyone knows he's in the mines." "He was!" "But not anymore!" " Where is he?" " You shouldn't ask such things." "Tell your grandfather not to worry." "He's alright, and in a safe place." "Vassily is a lone wolf now." " You're still a stupid boy." " Well, that's what I am." " When can I come for my scythe?" " Tomorrow." "It's enough!" "Ganka!" "So, don't forget to tell your grandfather!" "Only yesterday you called me" "Your sweetheart, in front of all." "And today, my dear betrayer," "You forgot me, once and for all." "You're enamored with another" "For her riches, my treacherous friend." "Why am I not as rich as she is," "Who separated us, the fiend?" "The precious ring that you had given," "A gold ring with turquoise stone," "I will hold to my heart, dear," "Over it I'll cry, when I'm alone." "Aunt Akulina cures all the lassies," "Cures all kinds of sickness," "Except for lovesickness." "Strim-tilim-tilim-tilim," "Except for lovesickness..." "Why is the light on in the smithy?" "Wait a minute!" "The escape's been postponed for a few days." "They expect an inspector from St. Petersburg at the can tomorrow." " Has the guard been paid?" " Yes." "Are there any guarantees?" "There are, but he demands more money." "Scoundrel!" " Petrovsky's escape's to his credit." " Yes, I know." "Are the passports good?" "They'll be valid until the emigration." "The most important thing is to get them out of the Zerentuy District." " Want to stay overnight?" " No, Semyon." "The night is dark, and the road is long." "We'd better go." " All right." " Take care." "Let's go." "Go on!" "Watch out, Platon, if you're saying it for spite!" "What are you talking about?" "I'm a Christian, am I not?" "Mitka, go to Chepalov's!" "Tell Nikifor to come with his gun." "The passports are ready." "And they said something about..." " About what?" " I didn't understand." "A bad word." "All right." "Let's go to Guerasim's." " He's here!" " Let's go!" "Come on!" "Hold him!" "Tie him up!" "It's done!" "Nikifor, rake away the coals." "Platon, look up there." " Yelisey!" " Open it!" "Some uniforms." "Wanted to play-act at being mining engineers?" " And what is that?" " Look here." "Where are the passports, Mr. Blacksmith?" "Have you swallowed your tongue?" "Want me to give you a punch to make you talk?" "I found it!" "Timofey..." "Keep quiet, blacksmith, or you'll lose your teeth." "Count it." "I want everything to be according to law." "Here are the passports." ""To whom it may concern." "The bearer of this, N.P. Fiveysky, head of a prospecting party, accompanied by three employees of the Mining Department," "is allowed free travel within the East-Siberian Guberniya." "Administration of Zerentuy Mountain District."" "Clean job." "Three hundred exactly." "Nikifor, take him out." "Platon, Timofey, you stay here and guard the place." "Don't let anyone in." "Kick everybody out!" "Thank God, we made it in time." "Look at that cloud." "It will surely hail." " Ganka, take the coat into the shed." " All right." "Gimme the wind branch!" "Here, dad." " Take the rake." " Yes." "Catch it!" "Hold it fast, I'm coming down." " How you doing, granddad?" " Howdy." "Hi!" "Are you crazy?" "Charging like that!" "Drop the pitchfork." "I've got to tell you something." " What do you want?" " Drop the pitchfork!" "Why did you bristle up like that?" "Let's have a smoke." "It's freezing cold, isn't it, Roman?" "It seems like it's going to hail." " Did you hear the news?" " What news?" " The ataman arrested Nagorny." " Why?" "For politics." "Now they'll send him to jail, like they did your Vassily." "Stop chastising us for Vassily!" " I don't." "I just mentioned it." " Vassily and Vassily!" ".." "You've got a fine stack here." "I don't feel like going to the squatters' land." "Do you know they're going to propose to Dashutka tomorrow?" " Who?" " My masters." "For her to marry Alexei." " You're lying!" " I swear." " You're lying, I know!" " Why?" "I swear to God!" "Darn!" "It's going to rain like hell!" "Roman!" " Roman!" " Stop squealing!" "I'll kill that bitch!" "Stand still!" "Oh God!" ".." "Oh God!" ".." "Oh, my God!" " Agraphyona!" " Coming." " You sleeping?" "Enjoying yourselves?" " What's up?" "You don't know nothing, old fool?" "Look what they've done to the gate." " Where's Dashka?" " Sleeping." " I'll whip the slut to death!" " Don't you touch her!" " Why, father?" " See what you've done, hussy?" "You've put your father to shame, you cow!" "To whom did you give yourself?" "Who smeared our gate with tar?" " To no one, father!" " You dirty liar!" "Epifan, please, don't beat her!" "I'll teach you a lesson for disgracing your father!" "Don't interfere, you indulger!" "Oh God!" "What a shame!" "Hush, you two!" "You just wait, I'll talk to you yet!" "Oh, mommy!" "Get out of here!" "Hello, Agraphyona!" "Motrya!" " Agraphyona!" " How you doing?" " Hi, Epifan!" " Hi!" " How are you doing?" " We're doing fine." "I've heard you got related to the convict's seed." "That's all people were talking about at my smithy this morning." "About what?" "They say it was the Ulybin boy who tarred your gate all over." " You mean, Roman?" " Who else?" "I'll show you the gates, son of a bitch!" "You'll forget once and for all how to shame your father!" " Severyan, stop it!" " Get out of my way!" "I'll teach you, scoundrel!" " Dad!" " Give it to him, Severyan!" "Go on, beat me!" "But send the matchmakers to Epifan right away!" " I'll teach you, you stinker!" " I'm ready to die for Dashutka!" " I'll show you matchmakers!" " They'll steal the girl from me!" "I'll lash you in front of people!" " I'll teach you a lesson, bandit!" " That's enough, dad!" " Hello, Yelisey Petrovich." " Hello." " Bad timing!" "Where's my shirt?" " On the chest." "Don't give your consent!" "I'm not going to marry him!" " Hello, Epifan Lukich." " Hello, Agraphyona." "How are you?" "Come in, be seated." "Come on in." "We're here on a good mission, to propose a marriage." "You've got goods, we've got a buyer." "You've got a fair gal." "We've got a fine lad." "Sergei Ilyich is sending his regards and asking if you agree to give Darya to marry Alexei." "That's right!" "Thank you very much for the honor!" "But it's too early for our daughter to think of marriage." "Come on, Epifan!" "It's just the right time." "She's going to be 18 soon." " That's right!" " Eighteen is not yet the age." "What do you know!" "And how old was Agraphyona when you married her?" "Besides, the suitor is not for us." "We need someone simpler, not to reproach us for a poor dowry." "Such a beautiful girl would marry a poor boy?" "It's not right, Epifan." " Her beauty is her dowry." " That's right!" "And you yourself is not just nobody in our village." "I'm counting my blessings..." "Not that I'm rich, but I'm quite comfortably off." "So, what would be your answer?" "I got only this to answer, my dear matchmaker!" "Tell Sergei Ilyich to look for a bride elsewhere." " I'm not eager to get related to him." " You shouldn't say that." "A dry spoon scratches the mouth." "Let's have a drink and then talk." "Didn't you hear what people say about our Darya?" "I didn't, and I won't listen to it!" "And if I hear anything, I'll use my authority!" "Agraphyona, lay the table." "That's a real talk." " Hi, bride!" " The newlyweds!" "If it wasn't you who came to ask for her, I'd never given Darya away." "I'm so fond of you!" "Fly up, falcons, like eagles proud!" "To your sorrow, never yield!" "Let's set up a tent as shroud" "And camp out in a green field!" ".." "Let's go to Chepalov's store!" "Agraphyona, leave us alone!" "Start up!" "Let's go!" "I'm so fond of you, you know!" "Darya!" "That's where you are, my dear." " I tended the lambs." " Cut it out!" "Your mother and myself had to blush on account of you." "Listen, gal, we've given you away to marry." " I'm not going to marry Alexei!" " Why not?" "I'll have to live not with riches, but with a man." "Wait!" "You mean, Alexei's not a man?" "The most eligible suitor sent you his matchmakers, and you're kicking?" "What do you find wrong with Alexei?" "I'm in love with another one." "Who?" "Roman?" "Forget him!" "It's been decided." "I'd rather kill myself than get married to Alexei!" "You'll marry him alright!" "As long as you're my daughter, you'll live as I say!" " We'll have a wedding after threshing." " I'll go and drown myself!" "No, you won't!" "Daddy, I don't love him!" "I told Alexei so..." "I never go back on my word!" "The last one?" "Come here." "Try it." "Is it good?" "You'll have to stay here and be a miller." "Our granddad is very sick." "I'll go get the doctor." "You are not afraid to be left alone overnight, are you?" "Well, so be it..." "You might as well utter a word." "Are you going to pout for the rest of your life?" " Who is there?" " It's me." "I've come to you, Roman." "I came myself." "Dashutka!" "Roman, my darling!" "My pretty flower!" "We'll never be happy." "Why is God punishing me?" "Stop crying, Dashutka!" "We'll run away to the squatters' land!" "They'll find us, Roman, and they'll kill us." "Nikifor will!" "He won't, don't be afraid." "I'm not afraid for myself." "I'm afraid for you." "They're going to kill you!" " Refuse Alexei." " It's too late, Roman." " Give him up!" " Too late." "Dashutka!" "I can't live without you!" "Oh, my God!" "I've come to you, Roman!" "I'm yours, all of me!" "They're coming!" "Not a berry over the saucer is a-rolling," "Not a pearl after the berry is a-going." "It's Alexei for his wedding getting ready," "As his mother for the road him preparing." "She's preparing him and instructing:" "You will go, my dear son, to get married." "Fair girls will be singing to you pretty songs." "So be to them, my dear son, kind and generous:" "Give them not a kopeck, and not a half-ruble," "Give to them, my dear son, a whole ruble." "In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, be happy!" " That's the end of a Cossack!" " Just pecked on it!" "Let's see what the bride will do." "That's quite a piece!" "She'll be the mistress of the house." "Dear guests, please, come to the table." "It's not a forest dense, nor a grassy growth," "That's our unruly heads bowing very low." "Let's drink and feast, and make merry" "To the health of our host and his sweet cherry!" "And in our merriment, we shall cry "hurrah"!" "Make it sweet!" "Not enough!" "Make it sweeter!" " Make it sweet!" " Alexei, give her a long kiss!" "For good luck!" "From my twenty-seven girls I went to plunge into water falls." "I got there - the place was crammed With all the twenty-seven of them!" "Ataman!" "Yelisey Petrovich!" "A messenger arrived from the town." " Did he say anything?" " To report immediately." "Where are our newlyweds?" "I wonder how they're doing." "Leave them alone." " What happened?" " Must be a fire." "Cossacks!" "We're at war with Germany!" "Oh, my goodness!" ".."

" And who are you?" " I've brought him a message!" " His HQ's in that green wagon." " Thanks." "Yes!" "Ulybin!" "Yes!" "No!" "First of all, put aboard the wounded and the documents!" "Because there's no room!" "I'll take the responsibility!" "What's up, Fedot?" "Comrade Commander, I'm ordered to report to you personally:" "Semyonov's two armored trains arrived at Chernovskaya Station." "Our scouts have spotted them." "What a tall boy you've grown!" " How are you?" "Sit down." " How you doing, Vassily Andreyich!" " Why a sailor's shirt?" " I traded it for home-brewed vodka." "Maxim, tell Nagorny to come in." "How are you doing over there?" "Pretty lousy." "Semyonov's pressing so hard that we're sweating blood." "Can you hold on one more day?" "We could, if it were not for those armored trains." "If they hit us, we'll be caught in a bind." "The archives are all aboard, Vassily." "Sit down!" "The intelligence data have been confirmed." "Vassily, I have an idea." "What idea?" "The railway goes downward to Chernovskaya Station." "If we set a platform with dynamite rolling, it will..." " How can we set it rolling?" " With a locomotive." "What d'you know!" "Interesting!" "To set it rolling and..." "What about people on the locomotive?" "They'll jump off!" "A daring idea!" "Where will we find those people?" "I know one such man." " Who is it?" " I am!" " Why?" "You..." " I happen to be a train locksmith." " What about the treasury, the gold?" " Someone else will do it." "That seems to be our only choice." "Let's try, maybe we'll make it." "Sure, we'll make it!" "But I need an assistant." " Take anyone." " Semyon, take me!" "I recognized you right away." "You were our blacksmith." " Right, take him." "He's a good boy!" " Well, if you're good, let's go!" "Hello, is it Yuzhnaya?" "Where are you, for God's sake?" "Report the situation!" "Send an orderly immediately!" "Tell him to bring Roman Ulybin with his detachment!" "Right away!" " Any news from Nagorny?" " It's too early yet." " When are we going to jump?" " Now!" " See what a reception we've got?" " If they hit us, we're dead." "Let's check it for the last time!" " Shall we jump?" " The wire's been broken!" " Let's stop the locomotive!" " It's too late!" "Semyon?" " Fedot, jump!" " What about you?" " Come on, jump!" " Semyon!" "Wait!" "Don't load the paintings of world significance together with junk!" " Hi, guys!" " Hello, Georgy Antonovich!" "With all questions, go to my deputy!" " Georgy!" " Hi there, Cockroach!" " How is the loading going?" " Everything's hunky-dory!" " Look at this brave eagle!" " That's a fine boy!" " Round off!" " Right!" "Please." " My residence." " I need to go back to my squadron." "What squadron?" "They had fled long ago." "We should cut and run too, pal." " Wow!" " Like it?" "Anarchists know how to live." " Sonya?" " It's not Sonya, it's me." "Sit down, let's have something to eat." " Where do you get the drinks?" " Expropriation of the expropriators." "Arkady!" "What is that stuff?" "Shustovsky cognac." "No kidding..." "Did you call me?" "Prepare a bath." " Do we have enough grub?" " Don't you worry!" "Throw away those rags!" "Have the mirror packed instead." "And get this hero dressed, even if you have to give him your clothes." "Yes!" "Georgy Antonovich, a call from HQ for you to report immediately." "I haven't arrived yet, but they already know that." "They can wait!" "It feels as though God has gone barefoot through my veins." "How did they die?" "They died, that's all." "Though some people say that Fedot managed to jump off." "He might show up yet." "How many people do you have left?" " Fifteen." " Fifteen." "Maxim, fix us something to eat." "Look, Roman..." "The Revolutionary Army Staff entrusts you with taking gold out of the treasury and getting it ready for transportation." "That's why you removed me from the position?" "Wait." "First, you'll have to make an inventory." "Is it clear?" "It's clear!" "You want to save your nephew's life." "Stop being stupid, Roman!" " I'm not Roman for you!" " Stupid, anyway!" "I'm a Red Army commander, not a clerk, and not a treasurer." "People are dying on the front line, and you want me to sit in the rear!" "There's no rear now, Roman." "I can't guarantee that in an hour there will be no firing right here." "Take your people and go." "I'm not going!" " Stand up!" " Well, I'm standing." "Go and carry out the order!" "I said I'm not going!" "Come over here." "Take off the helmet." "It's pure gold." "I've got 4,025." "What have you got?" " What would be the balance?" " What do you mean?" "How much will remain?" "There will be no balance." "We'll take it all." "Got it!" "Don't try to make me feel better." "They'll make me answer for it." "Bring in the wounded, quick!" "You'll get your medicines." "Just stop yelling." " Mitka, what are you doing here?" " Hi, man!" "Wait for me here." "Hi!" "You called me, didn't you?" " What time did you have to report?" " I don't remember!" "I'm tired!" "When are we going to run?" " Stand up!" " What?" "Stand up!" "You're talking to a senior officer!" "If you were much older, then you'd be senior." "I don't give a damn about you, but I've got the Siberian Center's order!" " Report the situation." " We're holding the defense..." "You're not holding anything!" "Your defense has cracked!" "I flung my last reserves in there!" "A straw must break in a strong hand." "Why are you here, in Chita, instead of the battlefield?" " I have my deputy there." " You have your deputy there?" "Keep your hands off me!" "Your deputy's been killed!" "And you, why are you alive?" "Answer me!" "All right, I'll answer you!" "You sent my men to the hell itself!" "Why?" "To collect some red tape papers?" "To wait here for your buddy, Lazo?" "To take the gold out of Chita?" "We should have retreated right away!" "To save our men!" "We should have gone to the forest!" "Do you get it, senior officer?" "Trying to save your own skin, bastard?" " What did you say?" "Repeat it!" " You're a deserter!" "I'll kill you!" "Arrest him!" "All right." "Move it!" "Dmitry, to the doctor!" "Go on." "Get up!" " Take the cards away!" " Wait a minute..." "Listen to me, guys!" "Semyonov will be in the city any minute." "What did I tell you?" "There's going to be a mutiny." "Semyonov will spare nobody." " So, let's get out of here!" " Right!" "It's about time!" "The only choice for us is to go to Manchuria." "Manchuria is fine!" "Why?" "Who needs Manchuria?" "You already flirted with death today." "Want to do it once more?" "We have nowhere to go but to Manchuria." "But empty-handed, we'll have no luck there." "I suggest that we pay a visit to the Chita Treasury." "We must take the gold before the White Guards take it." "Or the Reds." "Roman Severyanovich!" "Comrade Commander!" "Bondarenko, occupy the gallery!" "Get the filthy lucre!" " Fedot!" " Roman?" "Don't kill him." "I'll settle with him myself." "Roman, send for a back-up!" "There're a hell of a lot of them here!" "Take the crates with scrap to the car!" "A grenade!" "Get down!" "You, bull moose in heat!" "Don't go back to the basement." "We're not going to wait for you." "We're leaving!" "Everybody, get in the cars!" "Roman, get over here!" "Coming!" "No!" "Part of the gold has been taken away." "How?" "It's been taken!" "To chase them?" "The city's in revolt!" "The station is being attacked!" "Can't you hear what's going on?" ".." "Onward, gentlemen!" "Mount your horses and gallop to the water-tower." "Guerasim!" "Take them on the right flank!" "Fire along the street, Guerasim!" "Are you deaf or what?" " Fire along the street!" " I'm running out of cartridges!" "Hold on!" "It'll be over soon!" "Roman, we're leaving." "You leave too, after the train takes off." "Lead your people to Kurunzulai." "We'll set up a partisan base there." "All right!" "Vassily Andreyevich, hurry up!" "Well, Roman!" "If we're lucky, we'll see each other." "Grab the machine-gun and leave!" "On your horses!" "Come on!" "Rest!" " Shall we unsaddle the horses?" " No!" "Roman, let's make it to home." "We can rest there." "It will be quite a detour!" " We could take a steam bath." " And have a good time!" " What if Semyonov's there?" " Not likely." "It's too early." "We're risking our necks, Fedot." "No risking one's neck, no getting in jail." "Come on, Roman!" " Ah, what the heck!" "Mount!" "Ataman!" "Semyonov is in Chulbutinskaya!" "Thank God!" "At long last!" "How do you know it?" "The Red Guards told me." "Roman Ulybin's plundering the armory." "Get the Cossacks on horses!" "We'll take them there!" "I won't let anyone spill our own Cossacks' blood!" "Platon, Mikhail, follow me!" "Guerasim, get the cart." "The ataman is coming!" "Mitka, go home!" "Back up!" "Out of my way!" "You're looking at the village ataman!" "And you're looking at the Red Guards commander!" "You trash..." "Uncle Yelisey, go away." " Can't you stay, Roman?" " No, I can't, dad." "Well, mother..." "Take care of yourself, son." " Where to, now?" " To the forest." "Should you meet Vassily, give him my regards." "All right!" "The Cossacks are here!" "Don't even try to do anything!" " Maxim, bring the firewood!" " All right!" " Nikifor, give me a smoke." " No!" " Just one smoke." " I said, no!" "Miser!" "Stop knocking, you jerk!" " Give me some water!" " Forget it, Red trash!" "Bastard!" "Stop it, Roman." "All you can get from them is a bullet, nothing else." "It smells like funeral." "It's too early for us to die yet." "I didn't mean it." "It smells of besoms." "No!" "Let go of me!" "But why?" " Get in and shut up!" " Let me go!" "I haven't done anything!" "No!" " Mitka!" " Right." " Hi!" " Hi!" "What are you doing here?" " How long have you been here?" " Three days." "That's it!" "I'm finished!" "Were you with the Reds?" "The hell do I care for your Reds!" "I was in the taiga!" "Those bastards caught me." "They thought I was a partisan." "I told them: " I'm the son of the Mungalovsky ataman!"" "But they won't believe me!" "I have nothing to do with all this." "Sure!" "You wanted to sit it out in the taiga!" "What are they going to do to me?" "Please, tell them about my father, will you?" "Stop it." "You'll have plenty of time to bemoan your fate!" " When were you at Mungalovsky?" " Last summer!" "How are my folks?" "Are they being harassed?" "They made your old man join the armed detachment." " Did the ataman organize it?" " He was ordered to do it." "How about my masters, the Chepalovs?" "They're in the detachment, too." "All of them, except for Alyoshka." " Why not him?" " He's been killed." "No kidding!" "He joined the Semyonov Army after you split from the village." "People say it was you who did him in to make even." " How's Dashutka?" " She lives with her folks now." "What am I going to do, guys?" "I found gold in the taiga." " What?" " Never mind!" " Where?" " Forget it!" "You'll be knocked off anyway for being a partisan." "No!" "They have no right!" " But why?" "Why?" " It's serious, man." "I'll get out of here anyway!" "I'll get away from here, I promise!" "We've already checked it out." "The Cossacks made it to last." "Why me?" "I didn't touch anybody!" "Those who wish to repent of the crimes committed in the ranks of Red bands, get down on your knees." "We committed no crimes." "I see!" "Everyone is sentenced to be shot." " What do you think?" " Yes." " And you?" " Yes." "I'm the son!" "The son of Yelisey Kargin, the ataman of Mungalovsky!" "Spare me!" "I didn't do anything!" "I'll tell you everything!" " Later." " I was in the taiga!" "Anyone else is going to change his mind?" "Take all of them to the armory pending the verdict confirmation." "About face march!" "Come on, move!" "Where are you going, fool?" "Bring him back." "Hey, you, come back!" "Halt!" " Shall we begin, sir?" " Why wait?" "Get down!" "Rank up!" "Masseyev, bring the first two." "Firing by the whole rank." "Rank!" "Fire!" "What are you firing at, asshole?" "Got your hands shaking?" " Sorry." " You'd better watch out!" "Wait." "Firing by the rank." "Rank!" "Fire!" " Roman, listen to my command." " Right." "Firing by the rank." "Rank!" ".." "Run!" "Rank, forward!" "Fire bursts!" "Fire at the bushes!" "Stop firing!" "They'll come out." "Fedot!" "Fedot!" " Who's there?" " It's me." "You're alive!" "Whoa!" "Come on, you must be hungry, poor devils." "It's freezing." "Hi!" ".." "Roman?" "Well..." " Where did he come from?" " I don't know." "So you've been living here since the cold season started?" "All alone?" "Why don't you say something?" "There's nothing to say." "You know all my news." "As for the past, there's no good stirring it up." "You better tell me how my Alexei was killed." "I don't know." "I was not there." "People say you killed him, because you bore a grudge against him." " It's not true, Dashutka." " Really, Roman?" "But if I had met him, my hand would have been steady." "And not because of you." "I'm glad there's no Alyoshka's blood on you." "Aren't you scared to live all alone in the woods?" "I am." "They say the Red partisans are wintering here." "And there're men from Mungalovsky among them." " Really?" " Yes." "Timofey Kosykh dropped by his folks the other day." "The Cossacks came to arrest him, but he had already left." "I should go to the village, too." "It's dangerous, Roman!" "You'd better stay here." "It won't be for long." "Just to see my folks." "I need to get a horse..." "Kirillovna!" "Petka, son of a gun!" "Don't put Voronoy to work today." "And give him more oats." "You and Nikifor will go to the mines tonight." " Kirillovna!" " What now?" "Get the vodka ready." "The Cossacks are coming for drinks." "What's taking you so long, Cossacks?" "Have you moved the grain from the second barn?" " We have, don't worry." " That's good." "Petka, bring the homebrew from the cellar." "Hurry up!" "It seems like a blizzard is coming." "Hurry up, Cossacks." " Very nice." " Let me show you something else." " Hello, Sergei Ilyich." " How you doing?" "Come later, my dear women." "We've got no time for you now." "Get ready the food." "Take some herring from the old barrel." " Don't touch the zalom brand!" " Yes, sir!" "Dismount." "Nikifor, wipe off the snot before entering the house!" "I'll wipe off yours with this saber!" "Hold the horse." "Aren't we lucky with our ataman?" "He gets 25 rubles, we get drunk." " Welcome your guests!" " Please, come in." "Father, is everything ready?" "Hi, Luckich!" "That's the way to welcome guests!" " Hello, dad!" " Roman, my son!" " You're alive!" " I'm all right, mother." " My darling!" " Come in the house." "My heart was telling me you were alive." " Hi, Roman!" " Hi, Ganka!" "Have you been with the partisans?" " Did you come back for good?" " For good..." "No, mother, just to see you." "So, you're not giving yourself up." "Ganka, close up the shutters." "Sit down, sonny." "I'll bring you warm socks from the stove." " Well, what do you say, old girl?" " I can't believe my eyes." "You seem to have buried me alive." "Where did you get that information?" "Your friend, Mitka, told us that you'd been sentenced." "Some friend..." "I heard that Vassily was a big shot with them Reds." " Where's he now?" " He's with Lazo, in the Far East." " With Lazo?" " They went underground there." "Help him God." "We've already written off both of you." "Your mother cried her heart out." "How do you think we felt when we heard of your death?" "Come on, I'm alive, ain't I?" "Why talk about it now?" "Why?" "So that you think about your parents for a change." "You are not going anywhere anymore!" "Tomorrow you'll give yourself up to the ataman." "That's right!" "You better stay home." "Look at you, you're so thin!" "I'm not going to give myself up to anyone." "I'll put down my saber only after we win the Soviet power back!" "Look at him, the hero!" "You've been already driven to the woods." "Wait and see where Semyonov'll run from the Soviet power in the spring." "What do you need this power for?" "There's nothing good in it for Cossacks." "There are Cossacks and Cossacks." "You, for one, don't have to fear it." "Only under Soviet power, the poor people are going to see the light." "Look at this defender of the poor people!" "You'd better be thinking of yourself." "I don't think you liked the old regime very much." "Didn't you feel insulted when they called us the convict's seed?" "You were looking for justice." "And now you're in the armed detachment." "You're so smart, aren't you?" "What would happen to them, if I didn't join?" "Because of you and Vassily, we would have..." "All right, you live as you like!" " Fine, let's leave it at that." " Eat." "Severyan, fill the glasses." "Roman, take me with you." "Hush, you wretch!" "They're coming here!" "Oh, Lord God!" "My boots!" "Where're the mittens?" "Here!" "Oh, Holy Mother!" "Have mercy and save us!" "Stop squealing!" "Roman, give yourself up, will you?" "I'll hide behind the door." "Then you'll open." "Ganka, lie down on the bed!" "As if I'm there!" " Come on, father!" " Don't do it, Roman!" " Who is there?" " The ataman with witnesses!" " It's Nikifor." " Come on." "Nikifor, stay here." "Show me in the house." "Why?" "He's gone!" " Why are you yelling?" " He's got away!" " Where did he go?" " Over there!" " He's got away, bastard!" " He's got away!" "On the horses!" "We'll catch him!" "No way!" "We'll sooner get the bullet!" "Roman is not some dunderhead, like Nikifor." "I'll kill all their breed!" "Back up!" "Don't even think of it, you gawk!" "You've let him slip away!" "All right, he won't go far." "He will come back, and we'll be waiting." "Let's go!" " Hello, Mefody!" " Hi!" "Long time, no see." "What's up?" "I've brought you a new Communard." " Who is he?" "Where from?" " Roman Ulybin from Mungalovsky." "Don't strain your brain." "You will remember only my uncle, not me." "Why don't you post guards?" "What is there to guard?" "We're not at war, we're just hiding." "This hiding of yours will end up in your being seized one by one." "Don't butt in." " Don't unsaddle the horses." " I know." " Who is the chief here?" " I guess I am." "I was elected temporarily, but then it stuck." " How many sabers?" " 200..." "Used to be." "Now it's less." " Running away, aren't they?" " In every direction." " Why?" "It looks like life's fun here." " The Cossacks are partying." " Come on, let's have a look." " No, not me!" " Why?" " You can easily get a wallop there." "Red Communards!" ".." "Hello, comrades!" "Roman?" "My dear friend!" " Fedot?" "Hi, man!" " You're alive!" "Oh, my dear!" "I've found you!" "We have survived both fire and water!" "It means we'll live a hundred years." "Come over here, Roman!" "This happens once in a lifetime." " Only two left." " Get lost!" "Please, Roman Severyanovich, be our guest." " Move over, make room." " All right..." "Is he from your village, Fedot?" "My old friend." "We've been through fire and water together." "A Bolshevik!" "Welcome, Roman Severyanovich." " A nice place you've got here." " We ain't complaining." " All we miss here are broads." " Yes, all you need are broads." "All right, comrades, enough of this wolf-hole living, cards playing and home-brew drinking." "Let's forget all that." "I'm afraid you no longer remember how to hold a rifle." "It's too early for us to put down our sabers!" "First we must get the Soviet power back here, in the Zabaikalsk Region." "So, we're going to change our way of life." " Can I ask a question?" " All questions later!" "And what if I'm dying to ask something?" " Shut up, bull moose, or..." " Wait!" "What if I don't want to change my way of life?" "Then go home to your woman and to your kids." " I'd love to, only they'll kill me." " Who will kill you?" "The new authorities!" "Semyonov!" "You see?" "You're smart, aren't you?" "That's the reason we're lying low here." "You can't spend your life lying low in the taiga." "Well, we're not going to." "The Soviets are behind the Urals." "They won't forget us." "So they must shed their blood for you, while you're lying on your side?" "They also have wives and kids." "They want to live, too." "Don't you have any shame, or all you've got is your big ass?" "What you're saying is right, Roman Severyanovich, but you shouldn't yell at people." "We must rise up here and help the Red Army from within." "Then this..." "The red sun of freedom will rise over us much sooner." "Be quiet, please." "Hands up, if you want to live." "I said, hands up!" " Kolia, collect the guns." " Yes." "Move it!" "Come on, old man." "Your war is over." "Stepan, stand by the window." "Go on!" " Who's there?" " A messenger." "Oh, my God, Jesus Christ..." "What do you want?" " Are the officers sleeping?" " Sleeping..." "Hello, comrades." "Stay in the kitchen, and keep mum." "Wake up!" "Collect the guns." "It smells like Shustovsky cognac." "Go ahead!" "Officers!" "Attention!" "Why are you just sitting?" "Get up!" "What kind of a masquerade is this?" "Gotcha, the curly head!" "Get out of here!" "You bastard!" "I surrender, gentlemen!" "Kolyshkin, go to the right." " Semyon, give me a smoke." " You're doing fine without it." " Any complaints from the prisoners?" " They don't say anything." "Cornet!" "Spare your breath." "The Cossacks make everything to last." "Maxim, get the firewood!" "Still humming and hawing?" "Either you're going or not!" "I don't want to hoof it, but I don't have a horse." "We'll give you a horse." "We'll take it from some moneybag." " Are you signing up?" " Yes, sign me up." "Roman Severyanovich?" "Go get a gun." "Next!" "What are we going to do with the prisoners?" "We'll decide it later." "The officers will stand trial!" " Your name?" " Nickolay Sytin." " What's wrong with your arm?" " I've been wounded." " By whom?" " It makes no difference." " Did you fight for Semyonov?" " I was in the armed detachment." "Put it down." " Your name!" "Do you hear me?" " Babkin." "How old are you?" "You'd better go home, granddad." "Next." " What did you say?" " I said, go home." "Next." "Don't be in the way, granddad." " What's your name?" " Zadorov." " Have you got a horse?" " Yes." "A saber and a rifle, too." "Go on!" "Over here!" "Please, talk to my wife!" "She won't let me go!" "We've caught him." "Didn't manage to flee, I guess." "He's asking for you." " Who are you?" " Merchant Kandaurov." "And you, Roman Severyanovich Ulybin?" "I've come to you from the Partisan Army Staff." "The doctor wouldn't do it for anything." "The doctor must be with the wounded if you have to tie him with a chain!" " Got it!" " Right!" "I'm telling you, forget your lackey ways!" " Got this habit with your officers!" ".." " Yes!" "And stop yelling." "I'm not deaf." "Don't fall back!" "Move up!" " The Reds!" "Turn back!" " Oh, my God!" ".." "Turn back, damn you!" "Go, fast!" "Please, save us, dear creatures!" "Halt!" "Have mercy, comrades!" "Ah, you're talking comrades?" "We're no comrades to you!" "Oh, my goodness!" "They're ours!" "Yefim, where are you?" " I took you for the Reds." " What Reds?" " They've chased us for 15 versts." " Are you sure?" "They closed in on the mine at night." "No one managed to escape!" " How many of them?" " Swarms of them!" " Yefim, unharness the horses." " All right." "What are we going to do?" "We'll go to Mostovka and see what's going on there." "If anything, our horses will carry us away." " Uncle Severyan, the Reds!" " The Reds!" "Hold it!" "Nikifor, we're leaving!" "Cut them off the ravine!" "Back to the ravine!" "Follow me!" "Go on, Orlik!" "Come on, my pet!" "Uncle Nikifor!" "Drop the guns!" "Surrender!" "Turn back, guys!" "Follow me!" "Where are you going, Severyan?" "Go on, Gnidko!" "Come on, Gnidko, don't let me down!" "Hold on, Gnidko!" "We'll get away!" "Oh, shit... you antichrists!" "Let me go, for Christ's sake!" "Give me your rifle!" "Everybody, dismount!" "Collect the arms!" "We've met at last, Mr. Chepalov." "lsn't it a surprise?" " Who is he, father?" " I don't know." " Are you the village ataman?" " Yes, Captain." "Any Bolsheviks here?" "No, sir." "Whichever we had, they left the village long ago." "Why haven't you arrested them?" "My arm wasn't long enough then." " Where can we stay here?" " I think, at merchant Chepalov's." "Try to remember everyone who sympathized with the Bolsheviks." "Make a list and bring it to me." "And hurry up." "Bon appetit!" " Is the list ready?" " Yes, sir." "Check it out." "Lest the ataman overlooked someone." "There're only those here who have been long gone." "Yet, even without them, we've got Bolshevik sympathizers galore." "How do you explain it, ataman?" "The Bolsheviks I know have been all gone." " What about Ivan Volkov?" " He's dying from the wounds." "And Dashka Kozulina?" "Are you crazy?" "Dashutka is your daughter-in-law." "Are you covering her up, ataman?" "Bubenchikov!" "Yes, Captain?" "Thirty five lashes!" "He has a short memory on Bolsheviks." "Thirty five?" "You have no right, Captain!" "Take him!" "Don't dare touch me, I said!" "Take it easy, uncle." "Let's do it quietly." "It's not right." "You should not lash the ataman." "Don't criticize my actions, will you?" "Take his tunic off!" "Mitka..." "All right, that's enough." "Mount!" "Hurry up!" "Have a drink, Yelisey, it'll make you feel better." "Get out of here, bastard!" " She's innocent!" " Go away." "No one should come near the arrested!" "Yes, Captain." "Back up, everybody!" "Go and see what's taking them so long." " Ivan!" " Get out of here!" "Why are you doing it to her, dear?" "She's innocent!" "Get lost!" " Who are you?" " May I report that in two..." " Your name?" " Village constable Ulybin." "How dare you, scoundrel, to wear these crosses and shoulder-straps?" "Keep off!" "I've shed my blood for those crosses." "I'm a soldier too!" "I'm having such soldiers hanged on the trees!" "Where are your son and brother, bastard?" "Give it back, you dog!" "I'm not responsible for them!" "She's innocent!" "Severyan!" "Get the arrested in line!" " Captain!" " What is it?" "Sir, the Reds are coming!" " What are you babbling about?" " The Reds, your honor!" " Off we go!" " Follow me!" "First squadron, follow me at a gallop!" " Hello, villagers!" " Hello, Cossacks!" " Hello, fellow villagers!" " Hello, Ivan!" " Hello!" " Hello, Darya Epifanovna." " Hello." "What's the occasion for this gathering?" " Who killed him?" " The punitive squad." " When did they leave?" " Just now." "I'll be back soon, mother." "On your horses!" "Follow me!"
