You let my brother be beaten,
tortured?
Bring him here to Moscow.
I want us both to see.
It's too late.
- Too late?
Too-o late... ha-ha.
- You bastard!
You will kill us all!
Oh no! Sergo, Sergo, no!
You won't shoot comrade Stalin.
If you did,
the country would be in chaos.
they would take to country
and you would go down in history as the
man who betrayed Russia to the Germans.
And the people oh, ...
the people would tear you,
your wife and your children.
Everyone who bears the name Ordzhonikidze,
they would tear him to pieces.
Eat your heart.
Drink your blood.
No, no; no -
you won't shoot comrade Stalin.
I think you will shoot yourself.
And we'll call it, er, a heart attack
brought out by comrade Ordzhonikidze
has worked day and night.
Their hero,
the Soviet Union's glory is dead.
And we will bury you with all honors.
In the Kremlin Wall...
close to the tomb of Lenin.
No-one would ever know
in any part of the country.
And your family would be...
safe and honored.
That I promise.
You promise?!
- That's all you have, left, Sergo.
Wait!
You were in the seminary.
You'll recognize the words:
"Even as I have seen, they that plow
iniquity, and sow wickedness,
reap the same. "
It's the book of Jove.
"By the blast of God they perish,
and by the breath of his nostrils
are they consumed. "
My father got his word this time -
Sergo was given a hero's funeral.
His ashes were placed in the Kremlin Wall
and Zina was left unharmed.
Papa!
My little house-keeper
has become a door-keeper.
Comrade Door-keeper.
Where did you get that dress?
It's too short.
Cover your knees.
And look at your legs - they're bare.
Change your dress.
But put on stockings.
You weren't at Sergo's funeral. Why?
I've... I am not feeling well.
I'll send the doctor.
- No, it's nothing. Don't bother.
I don't want to lose you, too.
So, take care of yourself.
Sergo didn't.
Heart attack.
- Yes.
They are all taking off.
Like birds from a branch.
Yeah, ha... like birds from a branch.
Koba, forgive me.
I'm a simple old woman.
No, I don't understand:
why they are missing.
No, how, did it, suddenly turn out
we had so many enemies?
- Olga!
These are people
we have known all our lives.
They are... were army officers, ...
loyal party...
my real friends, ... civil war heroes.
Now, what is happening?
Can you tell me?
And why is everyone
who knew my daughter,
everyone who loved Nadya...
disappearing, being arrested?
But, who is destroying them? Is it you?
- Olga! For God's sake!
Why not arrest us all?
Yes! Why not?
Koba.
Be silent, be silent!
Why should I be silent?
Why won't let him kill me to?
You drove my daughter to suicide.
It was because of you she killed herself.
That's much better,
you'll feel better now.
Now it's much, much better,
comrade House-keeper.
My little sparrow.
Accused Bukharin!
bMarch 2, 1938/b
Accused Bukharin! You have heard.
The other defendants testify
that you're a part of a conspiracy, under
the direction of the arch-traitor Trotsky,
to overthrow the Soviet regime.
To this end, numerous acts of
terrorism have been committed,
including the murder of Sergei Kirov
and even the planning of the
assassination of comrade Stalin.
What a miserable gang of traitors!
Openly sitting in my office.
What a miserable gang of traitors!
Confession's good for their souls.
And now Bukharin...
The climax of our play.
We have all heard the accused Yagoda
state that you discussed with him
a plot to murder Sergei Kirov.
I can't imagine why he said that.
There has been no such discussion.
I knew nothing of any scheme
to murder Kirov!
According to Yagoda testimony,
Kirov...
You didn't break him, huh?
How could you fail?
Core recess. Core recess.
You had months and months...
Let me have him for one night...
I'll have him confess
he is the king of England.
I have done my duty.
I've done everything you asked;
even my own deputy.
I am myself disclosed.
Top officials under your command,
plotting against Stalin.
And you supposingly are not involved?
Involved, involved?!
You yourself told me to purge the
security apparatus to get new people.
Yezhov, Yezhov, you monster!
Are you trying to tell me you
deliberately allowed people to be...
purged?! To be killed?!
What have you done, Yezhov?
How could you, Possibly,
Pay for your terrible crimes?
For comrade Stalin.
I beg you to spare my wife and child.
On March 12th 1939 without warning,
the German Army marched
over the Austrian border.
It was really all-awaited
full-scale invasion test,
and Hitler rode and triumphed
in Vienna.
An ominous development.
- You think so? I don't know, I...
You've got to admire Hitler - nobody
wants it and he isn't afraid to go for it.
He scares the British and French but
not comrade Stalin.
He's a fascist. Wants to destroy us.
He says it over and over.
He says a lot of things we all do.
Hitler is looking east
and he's saying that:
"Stalin, I can work with him. "
So, is it done?
I gave it the personal touch.
Did he say anything?
- He asked me to give you this.
"Koba, why did you need my death?
Why?"
And this is what: Trotsky -
how did he get through our fingers?
In that house
they converted into a fortress.
Why don't you get rid of him?
Yakov had gone through military school
and joined the army.
All in a vain attempt to win
our father's approval.
You have a grand-daughter!
So, you're going to be
an artillery officer?
Yes. We are calling her...
- I hope you don't show on our own lines.
I will do my duty.
With all the stretch in the higher
command lieutenants like you
may be commanding divisions.
I will do whatever is required of me.
Yakov!
bJune 22, 1941/b
So. What is the situation here?
The Germans are attacking everything.
There! Panzers have penetrated
our lines, their air force dominates...
We've lost almost 1000 aircrafts.
- A 1000 - how could that be?
Most were destroyed on the ground.
- On the ground?!
Despite warnings and recommendations
they were left in forward positions.
Now. Counter-attack!
Here, ... here and here!!!
Koba,
you don't understand the situation?
Our front is crumbling; our forces are
retreating trying to avoid capture!
No capture. No retreat,
no surrender. Attack!
Beria! Beria!
Bring the security troops
shoot anyone trying to retreat.
Shoot our own man!?
Yes, and we'll shoot you, too!
You, incompetent foo-o-ol!
Koba!
How can you say that!?
Who killed the whole
our best-of generals?
Called them enemies of the people,
had them shot?
Who trusted Hitler?
Who said he would not attack us?
Voroshilov? NO!
It was you!
It Was YOU!
More! You do it more! More!
Koba.
Koba.
Koba,
It's been ten days.
We're waiting for you.
No-one could do anything.
Koba, they love you!
