The blue flowers are blooming under the Moon, they wake up the dreams in my heart.

In this moonlit night my dear friend, tender friend, you are loved as before. Remember me.'

Let's go to the oak tree.

Aleksey Mokhailovich, we have an oak tree here...Dmitriy Donskoy himself sat under it.

Right, let's go.

This oak tree is 1200 years old.

Before Christian times this tree was considered to be sacred. A man who broke a brunch off it would become a tribe leader.

But to keep his power, a man had to guard the tree.

Of cause, one day somebody would kill him, brake off the branch and would become a new tribe leader.

In more civilized era this tradition lost it's meaning, but Dmitriy Donskoy and later Ivan the Terrible,

who used to come here, were braking off the branches from our oak tree.

The tree was taken under the protection of the state after 1917.

May I take a branch as a memento?

No, it's not aloud.

Just the smallest one...

Let her brake it off.

Well, since the City Hall is allowing...

It has rotted completely.

It had to be watered.

Well, since it's broken everybody may take.

This is a good one...

May I take one for my brother?

Run.

What?

Run, I am telling you.

Where?
