Veteran of the Afghan war

His father made

his mother leave home

When his grandmother fell sick

his father sent him to the Academy

The horses are silently snorting -

hiding their bitterness-

their burning eyes

reflect on my hands-

dancing flames of fire.

Their big eyes

are full of hate without words.

and the flames just dance.

Let the horse run free!

And set me free as well!

We two fly over the fields-

looking for happiness.

Let the horse run free!

And set me free as well!

We two fly over the fields-

looking for happiness.

Popov started to live

on the streets.

Besiege!

Arrest him!

Fire!

Hooray, attack!

Arrest him.

Down, you rotten bastard!

Go away!

Boys, go to sleep now!

They said that you are allowed

to polish your belt buckles.

In a dense August field, one year

of corn stood alone and straight.

It was beautiful, but empty.

But its voice was high.

You fools, do not look down.

Only slaves hang their heads.

I pity you,

you die in the dark.

Brothers! Look at me!

And lift your heads high!

The terrorists are organized

like on a chessboard.

So they will make sure

all the hostages die.

In the occupation

we used special forces -

to destroy those

female kamikaze-terrorists -

who were dressed in explosives

The bombs were

filled with metal balls

There were also 16 F1 grenades

and a bazooka was fired

at the fleeing people.

The blast should have

blown up the whole building

and the roof collapse.

They had 100-120 kg of Trotyl

Nothing exploded, thanks

to the Kreml special forces.

The special forces blew up

a bomb in the loft.

A seeker robot

was wounded a little.

He is Tolmachev, age 12.

From the city of Volgograd

Father unknown.

Mother Ljudmila, who is a Tatar,

joined the Russian Army and -

left the boy at the age of 6 to be

looked after by some relatives

The mother is serving in the war

against terrorism in Chechnya.

Hi mummy, I miss you.

Sorry. I forgot your birthday.

Last holiday I spent at a camp.

I sewed two soft toys there.

One for you, for the New year, -

one for my teacher.

We played table tennis

at the camp. I came 6th.

Goodbye,

Tolmachev.

To Ludmila Anatolevna, Hankala

army base, Grozny, Chechnya.

Heavy clouds hide the sky.

Clouds of lead, so heavy.

So darkness lands in my soul.

The clouds hide my life.

I want to dream like Puskin.

I'll fly in space and

sing the songs.

I wish, I wish, I wish,

each moment!

But no one understands me.

I do not obey

the orders of the officers.

I free this child

from all his sins.

Run after me.

It is real fun on the other side.

Let's visit those boats.

Just for fun.

Let's take a tugboat,

it will take us through the ice.

Mamma, determeg.

Mummy, it's me.

I'm allowed to have a leave,

they let me out.

Are you coming to pick me up?

Mummy, on Monday they won't

let me go. That's a working day.

Did they give an order,

when should you come?

At nine?

Then I'll go with you.

Oh yes!

Mummy...

Half past six?

Yes, that's alright.

"Don't gossip near a phone, a

talking head is a treasure for a spy"

If I come, will the dog

bark at me again?

Mummy, you think it barks?

Can you promise?

Come half past six.

In the house of the Shmelevs?

Aunt Lena, please,..

Could you write a permission?

With that I will

get a winter holiday.

I could visit a friend.
