stability in the country.

Don't wait for us

To tell you what to do.

We're watching the regional

voting results closely, you know.

Understood.

Very well understood.

Moreover, if you start a vigorous

anti-corruption campaign now,

you can take those against

stability down a peg.

Permission to

start, sir?

You may start.

We need every citizen to

take part in state administration.

We need to fight corruption

on all levels of government

and public life. Our country has

great intellectual potential,

yet we still cannot compete

with the major Western countries

in the volume of

high-technology product.

Yes. Where are you?

Drive under the No Entry sign.

- Here you are, as agreed.

- Thank you.

I'm amazed you could to do it at

all. After what I've heard on TV...

Why do you think we started

charging 15000 instead of 10000?

"ENERGY CRISIS"

This isn't a nice place at all.

It has very bad energy.

Don't know what to do.

Really bad energy.

ALEXANDER PUSHKIN

Are you here to research Pushkin?

Or did the major send you?

ALEXANDER PUSHKIN LIBRARY

was only with her

a minute and felt weird.

Her energy is so strong.

Get back in the car, sir,

there's a storm coming.

Take the dogs away!

Hello!

How are you, major?

Sorry for disturbing you.

You're the only one

who can help us.

Our dogs are too scared

to go any further.

- It's a girl.

- Can sense it.

We've been here

Here, this is hers.

Any books of hers?

No, she had her books with her

when she left school.

Alone or with a pervert.

Remember last winter?

She's going into a trance.

- Stop the f***ing engines!

- Stop the engines!

Such energy! Shes

a one-off. She'll find her.

He's going to translate.

With wintry force the frosty tide.

Swept swiftly into wood and glade.

The winds have scattered far and wide.

The garments of a lovely maid.

A whole day past, alas! Her dreams.

She whispered to the singing streams.

The loneliest crannies of the park.

She says, get the f*** over here!

An ordinary librarian. No one

knows where she gets that energy.

A real psychic, like on TV?

Know her breath is still as fresh,

know her weightless trace is there,

But did she go the way of? Esh.

And vanish in the brightening air?

See a broad and winding road:

It leads away from our abode.

The major translates her

into normal Russian.

Too late. The little b*tch is gone.

Close off the f***ing roads.

There, faraway, in meadows bright.

She lies, her hair in morning dew,

And then...

one moment

to her right.

A man appears. With footsteps few

He stoops above her, and his face.

A veil of mid-aged wrinkled lace,

portends disaster. Too late.

To run from a hideous fate!

Sh*t, we don't know if she's

dead or alive. Anna can sense

a strong male energy. Looks like

another hyperactive son of a b*tch.

Astonishing powers.

Last of her kind.

Feel her breath now. Hear her sighing:

She lives for sure, but not one word.

Will pierce the mist, and if she's crying,

In woods she is no longer heard.

Nothing can stop her.

Breathtaking energy.

You wait for us. The book is open,

It is your guardian, a token.

Of all to come, a happy sign.

That when the dreadful seal is broken,

The faceless demons shall resign.

She'll find her any minute now.

Alive, perhaps.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

Are you in pain? Anna!

What are you feeling?

Get me a f***ing doctor!

Quick! And a stretcher!

Sir, can't walk any more.

Feel so weak.

You? Weak? You have such energy!

Used to have.

Now it's all gone.

Think my time has come.

Please hold on!

Anna! Where's the girl?

We must help her!

No one can help her any more.

"THE SPARK THAT SETS THE BLAZE"

(Gangster song)

Once upon a time

a gang came to Odessa.

"Thieves and "urks" (criminals)

were members of that gang."

The gang was involved in

all kinds of shady dealings,

and they were being trailed

by the Cheka (KGB)

Their chief was a beauty

by the name of Murka,

"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME"

Sly looks and hands

A set of keys.

This conversation will happen

Whether want it or not.

The traps are set

The gun is trained.

Someone will get hurt

Someone will stay unharmed.

Yet we burn

We all burn.

The smoke is getting thicker

We've no regrets.

Life goes on

There's no point.

Light is fading

Shadows moving in the dark.

Kiss me or shoot

That's all ask.

Kiss me or shoot

Just be sincere.

You know, like in childhood-

you leave for school, it's April,

and it's so warm outside that

you don't really need a jacket.

You go back home and leave it.

You go out - the sun's gone in.

You go back, get your jacket -

the sun's out again.

...The last time climbed

that mountain.

- You're so special.

- Not just an old bachelor?

- This wall is so red...

- Wine-colored.

- Like it.

- And like you.

- Why?

- Why do you like the wall?

Because it's beautiful.

And so are you.

Can you believe we only

met a few hours ago?

We've got to talk more.

I'll be going now.

You're so interesting to talk to.

She's how old?

Have you seen her ID?

I'm wrecked.

Cover my back for 20,

Once upon a time

a gang came to Odessa.

"Thieves and "urks" (gangsters)

were members of that gang."

The gang was involved in

all kinds of shady dealings,

and they were being

trailed by the Cheka (KGB)

Max, can join you?

Sure.

My vacation photos

from the Altai mountains. Have a look.

It's a genuine ice pick!

You could kill Trotsky with it.

With an ice pick?

Kill Trotsky?

Why are you looking

so happy today?

Was never attracted to a

man like I'm attracted to you.

You're unique.

No, you are.

Then we both are.

We have so much in common.

Like what?

Well, we both like the color red.

Have a red car and a red phone,

you have a red sofa.

No one buys a red

sofa by accident.

What else?

That surprised look you have

when you're being serious.

And love the little lines around

your eyes when you smile.

- We have that in common?

- Yes, because like it.

- My wrinkles?

- You don't have any wrinkles.

Can take your order?

- What will you have?

- What will you have?

- A tomato-and-mozzarella salad.

- A tomato-and-mozzarella salad.

See, so much in common.

We've got to talk more.

Do you take

sugar in your tea?

No. You too?

How about coffee?

- One teaspoon is OK.

- Everything matches.

- We've just got to...

- Talk more.

- Did you ever have pets?

- Had some fish as a kid.

You don't like animals?

Love watching Animal Planet

drinking tea on my sofa.

Thought men only drink

beer and watch football.

I'm hooked on woman's handball.

It's beautiful in its way.

Woman's team sports are so cool.

They have their own tactics.

And those jump shots!

You could fall in love with them.

Handball? Is that the one

with an oval ball?

- Is that a joke?

- Was only asking.

Handball is the one with

an oval-shaped ball, right?

Understand ball.

Or is it a water sport?

What's water polo then?

It must have something

to do with water.
