00:03:06♪♪
00:03:11He has a very high fever.
00:03:13Since yesterday morning.
00:03:17Thank you.
00:03:18I'll take a closer look.
00:03:23I think he's awake.
00:03:25I can see that.
00:03:29Well done, soldier.
00:03:32Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:34Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:35Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:03:39Slowly, slowly.
00:03:41Gaponecco?
00:03:43My body's still alive.
00:03:45Everything will be just fine.
00:03:47I'm looking for Lieutenant Gaponecco.
00:03:49Don't worry about that.
00:03:51Get out of the house.
00:04:22Oh, come on.
00:04:24Stop the car here.
00:04:29Excuse me, Lieutenant.
00:04:30We're looking for the 12th Rifle Division.
00:04:32Know where we can find them?
00:04:34Hell, I've got no goddamn idea, Captain.
00:04:36Everyone's on the move now.
00:04:38What about you?
00:04:39Anyone back there know where the 12th Rifle Division is?
00:04:41No idea.
00:04:42Hey, Lieutenant, take care of yourself.
00:04:44Back there, still a bunch of Krauts on the loose.
00:04:46Much obliged, comrade Captain.
00:04:51Come on.
00:04:59Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:05:01Easy on the gas.
00:05:04Come on, guys, and push.
00:05:06Keep pushing.
00:05:08Keep pushing.
00:05:10Come on, let's go, come on.
00:05:20Son of a goddamn...
00:05:40How about over there?
00:05:42Maybe they got a horse?
00:05:53We're gonna go check out the village.
00:05:54We'll be right back.
00:05:59What's your name?
00:06:00Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov.
00:06:02First name?
00:06:03Mikhail.
00:06:04You come with me.
00:06:10Where's he going?
00:06:12The lieutenant just wants to have a look around.
00:06:14He's been tailing us for a while.
00:06:16He's annoying me.
00:06:22Is, uh...
00:06:23Is that the new machine gun?
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26It was just issued.
00:06:28They want to replace all the old rifles with these things.
00:06:33Well, that's not a bad idea.
00:06:35And in combat, is it reliable?
00:06:38What?
00:06:40The machine gun is reliable.
00:06:43How the hell should I know?
00:06:45I'll probably send me to the front soon,
00:06:47and then I can see if it's reliable.
00:06:57So, listen up here.
00:06:59Fifty meters distance behind me, got it?
00:07:03Just in case.
00:07:07Okay.
00:07:38Oh, yeah!
00:07:45Johan!
00:07:47Johan!
00:07:49Behind you!
00:07:55In the shack!
00:08:08Are you alive?
00:08:11Yeah, more or less.
00:08:13But that new gun?
00:08:15It wasn't worth shit.
00:08:16It jammed.
00:08:17Right when I needed it.
00:08:19I saw that.
00:08:20Piece of shit.
00:08:38Filled with water.
00:08:40And when it got cold and froze,
00:08:42the bullets freakin' froze up.
00:08:45And the spring is...
00:08:48way too weak to keep all the bullets separated.
00:08:54A goddamn design flaw, I'd say.
00:08:57You know your way around these things.
00:09:00I...
00:09:01like to tinker around.
00:09:04A little bit, at least.
00:09:06A little bit, at least.
00:09:09Everyone does a little bit.
00:09:11What have you made?
00:09:16Lots of things.
00:09:19Too many to remember.
00:09:23And what was the last one?
00:09:25The last one?
00:09:28A foot-wrap dryer?
00:09:29Using a campfire.
00:09:31A foot-wrap dryer.
00:09:32Oh, Christ, what a load of hot air.
00:09:35What a load of hot air.
00:09:52To my dearest mother,
00:09:54my sister,
00:09:56and all my nephews and nieces,
00:09:58as well as Granny Shura,
00:10:01Aunt Tatiana,
00:10:02and all the neighbors
00:10:03who are interested in hearing
00:10:04from Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov.
00:10:09I'm writing to tell you
00:10:10that my tank was hit in combat,
00:10:13and my crew died as heroes.
00:10:18Miraculously,
00:10:19I survived with just a shoulder wound.
00:10:22Since then,
00:10:23I've been in a hospital
00:10:24receiving medical treatment.
00:10:28Since my wound is not healing well,
00:10:30our doctor put me on leave
00:10:31and told me to go home
00:10:32and stay there
00:10:33until I make a full recovery.
00:10:38That is why
00:10:39I'm only now beginning
00:10:40my journey back to you.
00:10:42Love, Mikhail.
00:11:01Go!
00:11:15Any injured soldiers here?
00:11:17You there, with the sling.
00:11:18Come over here.
00:11:19Who the hell?
00:11:20How come you get so hot?
00:11:22It's not fair!
00:11:24Excuse me.
00:11:27Doctor Papers?
00:11:30Yes.
00:12:01Where are you from, Sergeant?
00:12:03Altai.
00:12:06Yeah, then we're neighbors.
00:12:08I'm from Kazakhstan.
00:12:11I used to work there.
00:12:13Small city,
00:12:14really pretty.
00:12:15Matai.
00:12:16Matai?
00:12:18That was before the war.
00:12:20Fucking railway depot.
00:12:22Yeah,
00:12:23I remember that.
00:12:25You know,
00:12:26I used to work there.
00:12:27That was before the war.
00:12:29Fucking railway depot.
00:12:31But they ended up
00:12:32kicking me out.
00:12:34Why was that?
00:12:36Well, I was always making
00:12:37various things.
00:12:40And my boss
00:12:41didn't really care for that.
00:12:45What kind of things?
00:12:47Well,
00:12:48like crossbows
00:12:49and I made a shotgun.
00:12:51Since I was a kid,
00:12:52it's been a passion of mine.
00:12:53And now I'm thinking
00:12:54how I can
00:12:55make
00:12:56like
00:12:57an automatic...
00:13:00What do you mean automatic?
00:13:02An automatic machine gun.
00:13:04Here, I'll show you.
00:13:05I got some drawings.
00:13:10Here.
00:13:15Ah,
00:13:16they wouldn't be kicking you out
00:13:17now for Christ's sake.
00:13:19You know what they'd say?
00:13:20Get to work, bud.
00:13:21And invent whatever
00:13:22the hell your heart desires, Sergeant.
00:13:26And you know what else
00:13:27they'd be saying to you?
00:13:29The motherland needs you
00:13:30more than ever.
00:13:55Ah.
00:14:17Ah.
00:14:26Ah.
00:14:45Sergeant.
00:14:48Where's he going?
00:14:56Ah.
00:15:06Dear Mom,
00:15:08please forgive your unruly son.
00:15:10I won't be coming back
00:15:11any time soon.
00:15:12I decided to get off the train.
00:15:15I miss you all terribly,
00:15:16so much I could cry.
00:15:18I know it's tough without Dad,
00:15:19but if I come home
00:15:20at a time like this,
00:15:21I'll lose respect for myself.
00:15:23With all my love,
00:15:24yours,
00:15:25Mikhail.
00:15:28Hey, where's the boss, Andreyich?
00:15:30Back there, somewhere.
00:15:38Morning, Mr. Andreyich.
00:15:39Who the hell are you?
00:15:40Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov
00:15:41on leave for recovery.
00:15:43Kalashnikov, Kalashnikov.
00:15:45The name vaguely rings a bell.
00:15:48Do I know you?
00:15:49I used to work here
00:15:50before the war.
00:15:51Ah.
00:15:52Fixing steam generators.
00:15:53Yeah, yeah.
00:15:54Didn't you live to sludge hammer?
00:15:56No, but I...
00:15:57Then get the hell out of here.
00:15:58Why does everyone
00:15:59want to waste my goddamn time
00:16:00as if I had time to waste?
00:16:02Hey, Mr. Andreyich.
00:16:03Get the hell out of here.
00:16:04I don't have any work for you.
00:16:13Yeah.
00:16:15Why aren't you unloading the wagons?
00:16:17If you need some special bell,
00:16:18then get it yourself!
00:16:20You want to write a complaint?
00:16:21What a load of crap.
00:16:22All right, then.
00:16:23And hurry up while you're at it.
00:16:24Bye-bye.
00:16:31Mr. Andreyich.
00:16:34I was doing a lot of thinking
00:16:35while I was in the hospital.
00:16:36It's a pretty tough situation
00:16:37on the front right now.
00:16:39The enemy is well armed,
00:16:40whereas we, to say politely,
00:16:42have an undisputed disadvantage.
00:16:44To win the war,
00:16:45the Red Army needs
00:16:46a decent submachine gun.
00:16:48And in regards to this,
00:16:49I have an idea.
00:16:50Do you really?
00:16:51Yes, I do.
00:16:52And what if we design
00:16:53a new submachine gun
00:16:54right here in this depot, huh?
00:16:56A submachine gun, huh?
00:16:58And we'll design it here?
00:16:59Here in the depot?
00:17:00Mm-hmm.
00:17:02I remember who you are.
00:17:04Kalashnikov.
00:17:06You were the one
00:17:07who sat at his workbench
00:17:08and fiddled with guns, right?
00:17:10That was me, yeah.
00:17:11Uh-huh.
00:17:12And do you also
00:17:13happen to know, buddy boy,
00:17:15what happened
00:17:16when they found
00:17:17that goddamn gun of yours
00:17:18in my depot?
00:17:19Two days of grilling
00:17:20from a son-of-a-bitch investigators.
00:17:22Who made this?
00:17:23For what purpose?
00:17:24Who gave them
00:17:25the goddamn permission?
00:17:26I lost ten pounds of weight, damn it.
00:17:28Fucking sweating so much.
00:17:30Thank God
00:17:31that damn gun couldn't shoot.
00:17:33Otherwise,
00:17:34I'd be in prison somewhere,
00:17:36freezing my ass off.
00:17:38Well, in fact,
00:17:39it shot really well,
00:17:40through sheet metal this thick.
00:17:42But on that day,
00:17:43I took the bolt out
00:17:44in order to make
00:17:45some improvements.
00:17:46Thank God.
00:17:47I'm really sorry
00:17:48about the investigation
00:17:49and all the worries.
00:17:50So what do you think
00:17:51about my idea?
00:17:54Shall we give it a try?
00:17:55Huh?
00:17:56You know what,
00:17:57comrade inventor?
00:18:02Get the hell out of here!
00:18:18Huh?
00:18:29Comrade Lieutenant,
00:18:30Lieutenant Colonel Bathurst Carr
00:18:31is ready and waiting.
00:18:32What is the itinerary, sir?
00:18:34First the commandant's office,
00:18:35and then as per his orders.
00:18:37Yes, sir.
00:18:38You wait here.
00:18:40Hold on a sec, comrade.
00:18:42Is that some bigwig arriving?
00:18:44Oh, yeah, he is.
00:18:46Some high-ranking inspector
00:18:47from Al-Mahata.
00:18:49His name is
00:18:50Hasanov or Basarov.
00:18:53Hey, you were on the front.
00:18:55So tell me,
00:18:56what's it like?
00:18:57Can I get that for you, sir?
00:18:58Like being in a furnace.
00:19:00Hey, need some help here?
00:19:02No, this is fine.
00:19:03Well, then,
00:19:04let's go.
00:19:05Thank you.
00:19:06Hey, need some help here?
00:19:08No, this is fine.
00:19:09Welcome back.
00:19:10Lieutenant Colonel,
00:19:11may I take your bag?
00:19:13Lieutenant Colonel,
00:19:14Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov.
00:19:15Permission to speak, sir.
00:19:18What happened?
00:19:19You lose your tank, soldier?
00:19:20I'm on leave till I recover.
00:19:22Can I talk with you
00:19:23about something important, sir?
00:19:24Start talking, sergeant.
00:19:25Just be quick about it.
00:19:26Thank you.
00:19:27So, uh,
00:19:29what I really want to say
00:19:30deep inside...
00:19:32Wrong, wrong start.
00:19:34I've been in the army since 1938,
00:19:36and on the front line
00:19:37since the war began.
00:19:38Four enemy tanks,
00:19:39and seven, no, no,
00:19:41eight tank busters destroyed.
00:19:43There could have been more,
00:19:44but then I got wounded.
00:19:45And every once in a while,
00:19:47you know how it is,
00:19:48we have to go into close combat.
00:19:49So then you,
00:19:50you have a Fritz running at you,
00:19:52shooting with his submachine gun,
00:19:53and he's got 40 rounds a minute,
00:19:55and he's shooting up your ass.
00:19:56But you,
00:19:57you've got to reload your gun
00:19:58after every individual shot.
00:20:00What are you saying, sergeant?
00:20:01So then...
00:20:02Oh, yeah.
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:10Recommendation from Basarov.
00:20:13Stubborn little bastard,
00:20:14ain't ya?
00:20:16Well, then.
00:20:23Get me Zhigalov!
00:20:26Hey, so listen.
00:20:27I have a young guy here
00:20:28by the name of Kalashnikov.
00:20:30Give him a corner to work in.
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:33Table, workbench, tools.
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:37All right.
00:20:38Goodbye.
00:21:04What in the...
00:21:24I can't give you any people.
00:21:26Christ, I need every specialist
00:21:27I have here.
00:21:28Lieutenant Dr. H.,
00:21:29what...
00:21:30what I'm doing here
00:21:31is a national report.
00:21:32as opposed to what I'm doing here.
00:21:34Is that what you mean, huh?
00:21:35Jesus Christ, as if the country doesn't need these trains in working order.
00:21:39I'm not giving you people full stop.
00:21:42And allow me to be frank with you.
00:21:44You don't have it in you, Kalashnikov, okay?
00:21:47I can see why he took pity on you, this Vassilov.
00:21:50A wounded soldier trying to be useful.
00:21:53He wrote the goddamn letter so he could get you off his back.
00:21:58So pretty please, stop interfering with my work.
00:22:01Getting lost.
00:22:02Kalashnikov!
00:22:14Rumor has it you're designing a submachine gun, is that right?
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:19And you're looking for specialists, is that right as well?
00:22:21Yeah, but Andreev said I had no chance of getting-
00:22:24Andreev was talking about working hours.
00:22:27We'll help you in our spare time.
00:22:30Genya Tukhchenko.
00:22:32On the milling machine.
00:22:34Dmitri Kuzmich, lathe operator.
00:22:36Real good.
00:22:39Babich, Volochka, Sanya, Agomyshe.
00:22:43Welcome back, Misha.
00:22:45Let me take a look.
00:22:46Of course.
00:22:49So, comrade Kalashnikov.
00:22:52We have great respect for what you're doing,
00:22:53and we'd be happy to help you any way we can.
00:22:55There you have it.
00:22:56Don't you have a drawing that's a little more specific?
00:22:59Yeah, I know.
00:23:00As a draftsman, I'm not too good.
00:23:02Sorry about that.
00:23:03So we'll have to eyeball it.
00:23:05Measure it till we get it right.
00:24:02So...
00:24:27Dear Mom,
00:24:28This small town is home to some of the finest people I've ever met.
00:24:33I'm scared to think what I would do without their help.
00:24:36If my crazy idea works out, I will go straight to Alma-Ata.
00:24:41I was promised help there.
00:24:43All I can tell you now is that what I'm doing is top secret.
00:24:47But it is very important.
00:24:49Both for me, and even more so for our country.
00:24:54With all my love, your Mikhail.
00:24:58Thank you.
00:25:16Genya, you try it.
00:25:18Yeah, you do it.
00:25:58So...
00:26:23This building here?
00:26:24Yeah, right here.
00:26:25Thanks for the ride.
00:26:39Excuse me?
00:26:40Where can I find Colonel Bazarov?
00:26:43Never heard of him, sorry.
00:26:45You never heard of your deputy military commissar?
00:26:46Are you kidding?
00:26:48What's going on?
00:26:50How do you do, sir?
00:26:51I need to speak to Lieutenant Colonel Bazarov.
00:26:53Comrade Bazarov is at the front.
00:26:55Why he's at the front?
00:26:56That's right.
00:26:58And who has replaced him?
00:27:00Why do you want this information?
00:27:04It's a question of national importance.
00:27:06Here.
00:27:09My comrades and I, we developed it in the depot.
00:27:12All the work was done in our free time.
00:27:20What the hell?
00:27:21That's my freaking arm for Christ's sake!
00:27:23If you don't believe me, call the manager of the depot.
00:27:25His name is Krotov.
00:27:26He can explain everything.
00:27:28Hey!
00:27:31Hey!
00:27:39So what exactly is going on here?
00:27:42Thank you, Comrade Major.
00:27:43Here it is.
00:27:44An armed soldier tried to break into the commissar's office.
00:27:47Here's his weapon.
00:27:49You interrogate him?
00:27:50We decided to wait for you, sir.
00:27:53Well, that's interesting.
00:28:02This boy ain't factory-made.
00:28:06Stunned by hand.
00:28:08I'm off to the commandant.
00:28:10Won't be back till tomorrow.
00:28:12Then we can deal with him.
00:28:24Go to the workshop and go to Kovaya.
00:28:26Ask for Andrey Kazakov, yeah?
00:28:29Give him the gun.
00:28:30I want to test it and I want to hear his opinion.
00:28:32Yes, sir.
00:28:53Looking good.
00:29:04Welcome, sir.
00:29:05At ease.
00:29:07What do you think?
00:29:09Not bad at all, this one.
00:29:11But the grouping could be a bit tighter.
00:29:13Hold on a sec.
00:29:15Got something for you.
00:29:23This is pretty damn ugly.
00:29:28Don't know what it is, but it's handmade.
00:29:31Some major from the commandant's office sent it to me.
00:29:34Look at that bolt.
00:29:35And that baby there, see that?
00:29:38What do you think?
00:29:40Interesting approach, huh?
00:29:42Should we put it to the test?
00:29:44Sure, why not?
00:29:53Let's go.
00:30:04And who's the person who designed that?
00:30:24I wouldn't mind knowing myself.
00:30:28What the hell are you laughing at?
00:30:30Really, no offense, sergeant, but there's no way possible that you're an inventor.
00:30:37Most of you would have had a few years of grade school.
00:30:40That would have been about it.
00:30:42You're from a village.
00:30:45Yes, I am from a village.
00:30:50Attention, command major.
00:30:51No incidents occurred on my watch.
00:30:53At ease.
00:30:53At ease.
00:30:55There he is, your inventor, alive and well.
00:30:59Let him the hell out.
00:31:11What's your name?
00:31:12Kalashnikov.
00:31:16You're free to go, you inventor Kalashnikov.
00:31:20Take him with you.
00:31:22Let's go.
00:31:29It's a curious design you have here, but it needs further development
00:31:33to improve the shot grouping and lower the construction weight.
00:31:37Have you heard about the all-union weapon design contests?
00:31:42For your design to be commissioned into service, you first have to win a contest.
00:31:49We'll work to make some improvements and show it to General Khabadkin,
00:31:52commander of the Central Asian Military District.
00:31:54He can be harsh and sometimes cranky.
00:31:57But if he likes the templates of your weapon design, he can get you into the contest.
00:32:09So, what do you think?
00:32:13What am I supposed to say?
00:32:17This morning I thought I was going to jail.
00:32:20And now I'm hearing I should work on the grouping and lower the weight of the gun?
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:30Yes, of course, goddammit!
00:32:47You nervous?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:59Here comes the general.
00:33:04See, there he is, goddammit!
00:33:09Attention!
00:33:17Fall in!
00:33:26Welcome, Commander General.
00:33:33So, which one of you is Kalashnikov?
00:33:35Here!
00:33:40Well then, how about showing us your invention?
00:33:49So you pull the bolt back in order to load it.
00:33:52Now there's a round in the chamber.
00:33:54Single fire and this is automatic.
00:33:57How many rounds are in there?
00:33:58In the magazine there are 14.
00:34:00Goes in like this, comes out like that.
00:34:02There will also be a magazine with 70 rounds.
00:34:05I'm working on that at the moment.
00:34:08Let's put it to the test.
00:34:23Magazine.
00:34:41Binoculars.
00:34:51Would you like some tea, Comrade General?
00:34:53No, thank you.
00:34:58Kalashnikov!
00:35:03You need to work on your appearance, Sergeant.
00:35:06Is that your old uniform?
00:35:08I didn't have time to change, sir.
00:35:11I want you to tell them they have an order to equip you with a new one.
00:35:14You are a weapons engineer.
00:35:16I can't have you looking like that.
00:35:19Thank you, sir.
00:35:20And remember, Kalashnikov,
00:35:21you are an engineer from our military district.
00:35:24You'll be showing your prototype at the All-Union Weapons Design Contest.
00:35:28I'll be giving you a personal letter of recommendation.
00:35:33The apparel often proclaims the man.
00:35:36And don't let us down.
00:35:38I believe in you.
00:35:47What did he say?
00:35:49He said, I believe in you, Kalashnikov.
00:35:52And you know what else he said?
00:35:54I'll be representing our military district.
00:36:00I can't say I've given a lot of thought up until now.
00:36:04I'm talking about natural talent.
00:36:07Some might say a gift of God.
00:36:09I don't know where it comes from, but such gifts are certainly real.
00:36:13And that is a fact.
00:36:16There's a man sitting here among us
00:36:19who has been touched by the veritable hand of God.
00:36:22Mikhail Timofeevich.
00:36:25Our diamond in the rough.
00:36:28Here's to a proud future.
00:36:30And to the glory of Russian armaments.
00:36:43Forgive me for not writing more often.
00:36:46I'm like a leaf in the wind now,
00:36:48tumbling in the air instead of coming to rest on the ground.
00:36:51Once or twice, I was very close to making a visit.
00:36:54But I'm not my own master these days.
00:36:57I could, of course, drop everything and rush into your loving arms.
00:37:01But I'd be letting our country down.
00:37:03And I can't afford that now.
00:37:06With my deepest regards and all my love,
00:37:08yours, Mikhail.
00:37:17Thank you.
00:37:41Sir.
00:37:48Are you heading to the Shirovsky Range?
00:37:49That's where I'm going.
00:37:50Then give the sergeant here a lift.
00:37:51Sure.
00:37:52Hop in.
00:38:18Would you like some bread?
00:38:23What's this you have here?
00:38:26Let me take a look.
00:38:32Is it yours?
00:38:33It's mine.
00:38:34Too heavy.
00:38:37It's four ounces lighter than the PP shot.
00:38:40That's not saying much.
00:38:42I'm just a little tired.
00:38:43I'm going to get some sleep.
00:38:44I'm going to get some sleep.
00:38:45I'm going to get some sleep.
00:38:46I'm going to get some sleep.
00:38:47120.
00:38:49PP shot weighed at least a ton.
00:38:54Mine is a pound lighter.
00:38:58Without the magazine.
00:39:06Of course, without it.
00:39:11If your design wins the competition,
00:39:13I'll buy you a bottle of the best Armenian cognac.
00:39:16If mine wins, you got to climb on the table
00:39:18and crawl like a rooster.
00:39:20Is that a deal?
00:39:22It's a deal.
00:39:23So you're an inventor as well?
00:39:25More or less.
00:39:26Tudayev, Alexey.
00:39:27Kalashnikov, Mikhail.
00:39:32Crawl like a rooster.
00:39:33You got it?
00:39:34Oh, yeah.
00:39:35Got it.
00:39:37Still looking good?
00:39:38Yep.
00:39:46Thanks a lot.
00:39:51Greetings, sir.
00:40:00And I ask that you provide Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov
00:40:03with any assistance required for his work
00:40:06as a firearms designer.
00:40:09Thank you.
00:40:16You have no education?
00:40:17That is correct.
00:40:18None.
00:40:19So you chose not to study.
00:40:21Why is that?
00:40:22Of course I would.
00:40:23I mean, I'm ready.
00:40:24If it's necessary, I'm ready.
00:40:27Come with me.
00:40:30So the test grounds will have to be your classroom.
00:40:33Your prototype will be entered in the competition.
00:40:36That recommendation has a lot of weight around here.
00:40:39This way, please.
00:40:40This way, please.
00:40:44So this is where you'll be working.
00:40:47Captain.
00:40:55Comrade Colonel.
00:40:56Captain here.
00:40:57This is our Senior Engineer, Vasily Luty.
00:41:01And this is Sergeant Kalashnikov,
00:41:03talented inventor from Kazakhstan.
00:41:05And a new contestant.
00:41:07Give him his own desk and...
00:41:10any support he might need.
00:41:12Yes, sir.
00:41:12Good luck, Sergeant.
00:41:21This workshop belongs to Shpagin.
00:41:23Shpagin's here?
00:41:26Does that surprise you?
00:41:27Our country needs better weapons,
00:41:28so all the engineers you ever heard of are here.
00:41:31Korobin is here.
00:41:32Rukavyshnikov is over there.
00:41:33And that building over there is Vasily Dektorov's workshop.
00:41:37Dektorov himself?
00:41:40The one and only.
00:41:43Wait, does this mean I have to compete against all of these famous names?
00:41:48That's the way it is.
00:41:49You're in the big leagues now.
00:41:56Everyone has the same conditions.
00:41:58We have a shortage of lathe operators,
00:42:00so you'll have to wait your turn.
00:42:02And since you've been assigned to me,
00:42:05I'll need a complete set of technical drawings for your design.
00:42:09Technical drawings?
00:42:11Exactly.
00:42:13I don't have any drawings.
00:42:15You better get to work on it.
00:42:17You can draft, right?
00:42:21Uh-huh, got it.
00:42:26Don't worry about it.
00:42:27Make yourself at home.
00:42:30I'll be back later.
00:42:39Excuse me.
00:43:01Are you Kalashnikov?
00:43:09Yes.
00:43:11Ekaterina Moiseyeva.
00:43:13The captain asked me if I would help you with your drawings.
00:43:15I agreed to it.
00:43:16I'm getting paid overtime.
00:43:18But there's one condition.
00:43:19Don't flirt with me.
00:43:20If you...
00:43:23I finish work tomorrow at 8.
00:43:24Shall we meet at 8.30?
00:43:26Sounds good.
00:43:27I hope we have an understanding.
00:43:39Hey, sergeant.
00:44:05Nice to see you, comrade major.
00:44:06Is that your weapon I hear?
00:44:08Yeah, that one's mine.
00:44:10Then I'm up next.
00:44:15Where are those guys?
00:44:20That group works for Dektorov.
00:44:26Which one of them is Dektorov?
00:44:29Listen, my friend.
00:44:30Maestro has other things to do.
00:44:34I think your rattle stopped rattling.
00:44:38Yeah, you're coming.
00:44:52Hello.
00:44:54I'm here, as we agreed.
00:44:56Hello.
00:45:07Hello.
00:45:37Hello.
00:46:07Hello.
00:46:38Hello.
00:46:49Weapons down.
00:46:52Check the targets.
00:46:57Manufacture a barrel receiver clamp.
00:47:01Keep from unbending.
00:47:02Mount the base clamp.
00:47:07Okay.
00:47:25I don't know how to thank you enough for all your work.
00:47:29You don't have to thank me.
00:47:29I'm getting paid overtime.
00:47:32Wait here for a second.
00:47:33Don't go away.
00:47:34I'll come right back.
00:47:38Okay.
00:47:55Here, this is for you.
00:47:58Take it, it's my sugar ration, please.
00:48:04And I'd like to walk you home tonight.
00:48:08The results will be in tomorrow, and we may never see each other again.
00:48:12All right, then.
00:48:29Oh, hi.
00:48:31They're dancing.
00:48:35It has been ages since I danced.
00:48:38Same here.
00:48:58May I ask you to dance with me?
00:49:01Uh, don't you think you should get the consent of my date first?
00:49:04I don't think the sergeant would mind.
00:49:07It's senior sergeant.
00:49:38Thank you.
00:49:57Thank you, by the way.
00:49:59For what?
00:50:02That we stopped by here.
00:50:04I'm so happy when I can dance.
00:50:08Thank you.
00:50:14The lieutenant asked if he could accompany me back home.
00:50:20And he asked what you mean to me.
00:50:22And what am I?
00:50:25I said that we work together.
00:50:35Hey, Katharina, hold on a second.
00:50:36May I walk you home?
00:50:38Tonight I'm the person walking her home.
00:50:40Is that right?
00:50:40I imagine that she...
00:50:41Then you imagined it.
00:50:42Would either of you like to ask me?
00:50:50Go away.
00:50:52I ain't going away.
00:50:55How dare you treat me like I'm some sort of village girl idiot.
00:50:57Then why are you behaving like that?
00:51:00You country bumpkin.
00:51:38The results will be announced tomorrow.
00:51:43What will you do in case you don't win?
00:51:46And back to the front?
00:51:54I wish you all the best.
00:51:58And thanks for the sugar.
00:51:58My daughter loves sweets.
00:52:03Yes, I have a daughter.
00:52:04Yes, I have a daughter.
00:52:07And your husband?
00:52:09Is he on the front?
00:52:15I don't have a husband.
00:52:21Sergeant Kalashnikov, are you going to congratulate me?
00:52:37Comrade Major, would you like me to crow for you now?
00:52:40Are you serious, buddy?
00:52:41It was just a joke.
00:52:43You know, I'm a little tipsy right now.
00:52:45I'm leaving for Tula to see my gun go into mass production.
00:52:49Congratulations.
00:52:51Hey, keep your spirits up.
00:52:53Listen, we all take a hit.
00:52:57But I believe in you.
00:53:00You got something special.
00:53:04Gotta go now.
00:53:12Kalashnikov, one day you'll show us all what you have in you.
00:53:16Take good care of yourself.
00:53:18So you want to go home?
00:53:20I lost, Comrade Colonel.
00:53:21You don't get it.
00:53:22Listen to me, Kalashnikov.
00:53:24Very few people actually make it here.
00:53:28Captain.
00:53:32Please explain to the senior sergeant his new assignment.
00:53:35If he starts acting up, put him in detention.
00:53:37Three days should do it.
00:53:39And no food.
00:53:40They're about to start.
00:53:41I'm not going to let you do that.
00:53:42I'm not going to let you do that.
00:53:44I'm not going to let you do that.
00:53:45I'm not going to let you do that.
00:53:46I'm not going to let you do that.
00:53:47They're about to start another contest for new lights of machine gun.
00:53:50Why don't you start working on it back in Kazakhstan?
00:53:53They know you and they respect you there.
00:53:55And then you can come back here to do all the testing and improvements.
00:53:59So what do you think of that, huh?
00:54:03Mikhail.
00:54:09Mikhail.
00:54:12Yeah, I'll do it.
00:54:17Hey, good morning.
00:54:38Yep.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:55:04Comrade general.
00:55:05I know I read the telegram.
00:55:07It didn't work that right.
00:55:11Well, I didn't win.
00:55:12You're just not smart enough.
00:55:16I guess not.
00:55:18What about the machine gun?
00:55:24Why don't I see any self-confidence?
00:55:26This time, Kalashnikov, there's a hell of a lot more at stake.
00:55:29And we're going to have to pull a lot of resources, money, persons.
00:55:39You're giving me a goddamn shrug.
00:57:18So
00:57:41tell Sasha that Julie is waiting for him.
00:57:48So
00:57:58I've read your letter 10 times over.
00:58:01Not only are you hopeless at drawing, but you're terrible at spelling, too.
00:58:08I suppose you preferred inventing to learning normal stuff in school.
00:58:12You write that you want to see me.
00:58:14I don't know what to say to that, comrade, senior sergeant, but this is what I can tell you.
00:58:20Invent your light machine gun and come on over.
00:58:30Captain Lobov, state security.
00:58:33I'm here to accompany Kalashnikov.
00:58:35Here I am.
00:58:36Not Kalashkin.
00:58:37It's Kalashnikov.
00:58:39Senior sergeant.
00:58:40Senior sergeant.
00:58:42I'd have thought you were at least a major.
00:58:47Is that the doohickey in question?
00:58:51This doohickey, as you say, is for our soldiers of great importance.
00:58:56Yeah, right.
00:58:57Whatever.
00:58:58Don't worry, sergeant.
00:59:00We'll get it there in one piece.
00:59:02No need to worry.
00:59:05Wait here.
00:59:10Kalashnikov.
00:59:16Kalashnikov?
00:59:18Little Misha?
00:59:24Mikhal's really you?
00:59:26Shut that up.
00:59:27It's my goddamn brother.
00:59:29Victor?
00:59:30Oh, my baby brother.
00:59:32How come?
00:59:33What the hell are you doing here, huh?
00:59:36Misha.
00:59:38How's mama and her sister?
00:59:41Misha.
00:59:42Misha.
00:59:44Why don't you say anything, Mishanya, huh?
00:59:48I can see life is treating you well.
00:59:50This was fake, Misha.
00:59:52I wasn't as lucky as you can obviously see.
00:59:55Mikhal, please give mama a kiss for me.
00:59:57Your documents.
00:59:59Show me your documents.
01:00:08What's the matter, sergeant?
01:00:10What?
01:00:16Who was that?
01:00:19Nobody I know.
01:00:32I got this from a woman on the platform.
01:00:36And guess how much I paid?
01:00:38Zilch.
01:00:40She ran so fast, she was gone in a blur.
01:00:43Sergeant, come on.
01:00:44Do the honors.
01:00:46I prefer not to, comrade captain.
01:00:48That was a command, not an offer.
01:01:09Is it below you, a veteran of the front, to drink with state security?
01:01:16I didn't say that.
01:01:17But you were probably thinking it.
01:01:21But here, on the home front, we don't have it any easier.
01:01:28The ideological enemies pose a greater threat than the Nazis.
01:01:35He disguises himself, feigns friendship.
01:01:39He's a traitor.
01:01:41He's a traitor.
01:01:43He's a traitor.
01:01:45He's a traitor.
01:01:47He's a traitor.
01:01:49He's a traitor.
01:01:51He's a traitor.
01:01:53He's a traitor.
01:01:55He feigns friendship.
01:01:57But if you turn your back on him and drop your guard, then he will stab you.
01:02:07Son of a fucking bitch.
01:02:09Hey, sergeant, when are we going to get there?
01:02:27I don't know.
01:02:29What do you mean you don't know?
01:02:31You said one goddamn mile.
01:02:33Where the hell are we, sergeant?
01:02:39Sir, I'd like to apologize, captain.
01:02:41It was probably the wrong path.
01:02:43I suspected that already.
01:02:45Bet you let us here on purpose.
01:02:49What do you mean by that?
01:02:51Don't give me that bullshit.
01:02:53Back at the station, that convict called you brother.
01:02:55Christ, Kalashnikov, I bust my ass for my work.
01:02:57And an ideological enemy I can smell from a mile away.
01:02:59So who the hell are you?
01:03:01Senior sergeant Kalashnikov.
01:03:03You found some cushy spot and wriggled your way into favor?
01:03:05By making some stupid guns?
01:03:07But you can't fool me.
01:03:09You're a traitor and I'm going to blow your goddamn cover.
01:03:11Who the hell do you dare to call a traitor?
01:03:17Kalashnikov.
01:03:19Sergeant.
01:03:21Sergeant.
01:03:23Kalashnikov.
01:03:25Kalashnikov.
01:03:27Kalashnikov.
01:03:29Kalashnikov.
01:03:31Sergeant.
01:03:45I don't want to hear that shit.
01:03:47Take him back for fuck's sake.
01:03:55All that I'm guilty of is that my father lost his farmland
01:03:57to the socialist cause.
01:03:59But I'm sure you knew that already.
01:04:01And I can't do nothing for my brother.
01:04:05I haven't seen him in at least eight fucking years.
01:04:11But I'm grateful that he's still alive.
01:04:15Let's bury the hatchet.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:59Let's go.
01:05:29Let's go.
01:05:59Let's go.
01:06:29Let's go.
01:06:59Let's go.
01:07:29Let's go.
01:07:59Let's go.
01:08:03The contest commission came to the following decision.
01:08:05None of the light machine gun designs
01:08:07that were submitted
01:08:09are acceptable
01:08:11since the technical requirements
01:08:13make mass production impossible.
01:08:15No way.
01:08:17Quiet comrades. Quiet.
01:08:19Quiet.
01:08:21This contest is over.
01:08:23However,
01:08:25the war still drags on.
01:08:27Which is why our bureau
01:08:29will give the finalists
01:08:31an opportunity to continue developing
01:08:33new firearms designs.
01:08:35Thank you. You're free to go.
01:08:39Doctor, I'm asking you.
01:08:41Please write that I'm fine to serve.
01:08:43I beg you.
01:08:45I'm a tank commander.
01:08:47I don't need this arm to do that well.
01:08:49I gotta see targets and give commands.
01:08:51My vision is perfect.
01:08:53Bottom line. Watch this.
01:08:56A-L-B-M-K.
01:08:58Clench your fist.
01:09:00Please straighten your arm now.
01:09:02Stretch it.
01:09:04Straight.
01:09:06Even more. More.
01:09:08Good.
01:09:10You can put it down.
01:09:12Comrade Captain.
01:09:14Dismissed, Sergeant.
01:09:16I said dismissed.
01:09:22Misha.
01:09:24Kalashnikov.
01:09:26Seriously? Sergeant?
01:09:28It's tougher than I thought.
01:09:30What did the doctors say?
01:09:32I don't know.
01:09:34I just have...
01:09:40Let's have a smoke.
01:09:48They don't want me either.
01:09:50Got only one lung.
01:09:52Can't run without getting out of breath.
01:09:56Yeah.
01:09:58So I took a look at the drawings
01:10:00for your submachine gun.
01:10:02There's potential there.
01:10:04Really is.
01:10:06I'm really impressed with your approach.
01:10:08And Glukov as well.
01:10:10You could stay here and work if you wanted to.
01:10:14I'd stay in my department first.
01:10:16But if things went well,
01:10:18then you'd have your own.
01:10:22Come on.
01:10:26Give yourself time to think about it.
01:10:28I don't need an answer right now.
01:10:34I believe in you.
01:10:36We all believe in you.
01:10:40The question is,
01:10:42do you believe in yourself?
01:10:52Yeah.
01:11:08Sometimes I wonder
01:11:10what my life would have been like
01:11:12if I had not stepped off that train in Matai.
01:11:18It probably would have been good.
01:11:22It's mushroom season back home right now.
01:11:26I would have brought a big basket
01:11:28full of them from the forest.
01:11:30And we would all sit down together
01:11:32to clean them.
01:11:34Mom,
01:11:36you would scold us for not cleaning
01:11:38the tops correctly.
01:11:42And Vladimir, if he were still alive,
01:11:44would come up with excuses
01:11:46to avoid work.
01:11:48You'd feel sorry for him
01:11:50and let him go.
01:11:58And I would sit there
01:12:00with you all happily
01:12:02till the end of my days.
01:12:04What's behind your back?
01:12:10Nothing.
01:12:12Let me take a look.
01:12:14Look at what?
01:12:16Did you make a rifle again?
01:12:18Did you make a rifle again?
01:12:42You want to help Mommy?
01:12:48Misha.
01:13:04Mom,
01:13:06please meet Mikhail.
01:13:08Very nice to meet you.
01:13:10Yes, it's nice.
01:13:12Hello.
01:13:14Hi.
01:13:16The bread rations were all taken.
01:13:18Well, Misha brought a whole loaf
01:13:20for us.
01:13:32So where are you from?
01:13:34The Altai Mountains.
01:13:36So you were here for work
01:13:38temporarily.
01:13:42Yeah, that's right.
01:13:46And when you've completed your work,
01:13:48you'll be returning to the mountains.
01:13:50Mom.
01:13:52I hope you'll excuse me.
01:13:54There's no reason for me to doubt
01:13:56you're a good person.
01:13:58I love your daughter
01:14:00and I would like her to be my wife.
01:14:04Katya, will you marry me?
01:14:08Victory!
01:14:10We won, brothers!
01:14:14What's going on?
01:14:18Open the window.
01:14:20Open the window.
01:14:22We won!
01:14:30I congratulate you
01:14:32upon the victorious
01:14:34termination of the
01:14:36great patriotic war.
01:14:40Hurray!
01:14:42Keep on marching!
01:14:58Clear!
01:15:00Come on, Mikhail!
01:15:10Let's go.
01:15:40Water.
01:16:10Do you think they'll be closing us down?
01:16:16No one needs a machine gun
01:16:18when there's peace.
01:16:28I know what we can design
01:16:30in peacetime.
01:16:34An electric meat grinder.
01:16:36An electric meat grinder?
01:16:40Think about it.
01:16:42They'll put one in every household.
01:16:44You put in the meat,
01:16:46press a button, and then there you go.
01:16:48We'll call it the
01:16:50Grinder AK-1.
01:16:54K like Kalashnikov.
01:16:56K like the Kalashnikovs.
01:16:58The idea's for me, eh?
01:17:00Oh, crap.
01:17:02What the hell is in this?
01:17:04Okay, now keep...
01:17:06Watch out!
01:17:12Yeah, come in.
01:17:16How do you do, Comrade Colonel?
01:17:18Ah, Kalashnikov.
01:17:20Come on, come on in.
01:17:22Congratulations to our victory.
01:17:24Congratulations to you, sir.
01:17:26How come you haven't changed yet?
01:17:28Dress parade is at 12.
01:17:30I never had a uniform for a dress parade.
01:17:32May I ask a question?
01:17:34Then go for it.
01:17:42The amount of hard work we put into this
01:17:44doesn't end up being for nothing in the end.
01:17:48So many of our hopes
01:17:50and thoughts
01:17:52went into this?
01:17:54Here, read this.
01:17:56I just, um...
01:17:58just received it today.
01:18:00The decree hereby declares
01:18:02to equip our army and fleet
01:18:04with superior firearms.
01:18:06I was planning on
01:18:08sharing this document by making an
01:18:10official announcement, but now
01:18:12I can tell you personally.
01:18:14You are to proceed with your work.
01:18:16But from now on
01:18:18in your own department.
01:18:26Take care of this here first.
01:18:34Make another one of these.
01:18:36I'd say same specs.
01:18:50Hello, Comrade.
01:18:52Good afternoon, Comrades.
01:18:54My God, Kalashnikov.
01:18:58Moving up in the world.
01:19:00Doing my best.
01:19:02Still working on a new assault rifle?
01:19:04Yeah.
01:19:06AK.
01:19:08Got a working prototype?
01:19:10No, but if they approve the design...
01:19:12Simplify it, simplify.
01:19:14Every extra seam
01:19:16and part is a potential
01:19:18weak point that'll backfire.
01:19:20A submachine gun's
01:19:23got to be simple, like an easy tool.
01:19:25Like a hammer.
01:19:27Easy to use.
01:19:29Your PPS-43
01:19:31is a working genius.
01:19:37Have you
01:19:39read the rearmament decree?
01:19:41Yeah.
01:19:43Next month they're gonna announce a new contest
01:19:45to develop a new kind of rifle.
01:19:47In other words, my
01:19:49as you call it, genius PPS
01:19:51will soon only be
01:19:53found in museums.
01:19:57And that, Kalashnikov, is how the world works.
01:20:03Are we competing against each
01:20:05other again?
01:20:07If you win,
01:20:09buy a bought
01:20:11Armenian cognac.
01:20:13Don't be so upset.
01:20:15You're only going for a year.
01:20:17That's not what it's about.
01:20:19What then?
01:20:21The Kovrov firearms plant.
01:20:23Don't you know who runs it?
01:20:25General Dektorov.
01:20:27Dektorov.
01:20:29So what?
01:20:31He's my competitor.
01:20:33Do you think they'll support me if I'm working there?
01:20:35No! I'll be lucky if they give me a sledgehammer
01:20:37or maybe a goddamn workbench.
01:20:39Misha, you'll manage. You're strong-willed.
01:20:41And you are the greatest weapons designer
01:20:43in the Soviet Union.
01:20:47Am I? I know it.
01:20:49So you don't think I'm the best one
01:20:51in the world?
01:20:53Dream on, soldier.
01:21:05Wait a sec.
01:21:07Are you heading into town?
01:21:11All right, then. Move on.
01:21:21Comrade Kalashnikov.
01:21:23How are you doing?
01:21:25I was assigned to your workshop.
01:21:27Zaitsev. Alexander.
01:21:29We'll be working together
01:21:31if you don't mind.
01:21:33You don't mind, do you?
01:21:35I don't mind.
01:21:37It's only my second week here
01:21:39but I know my way around already.
01:21:41Most of the shop foremen still don't recognize me
01:21:43and think I'm a courier.
01:21:45But things like that don't really bother me.
01:21:47Who's that?
01:21:49That's Comrade Dektorov.
01:21:55Some car he got there.
01:21:57Real limousine.
01:21:59It was a present from Stalin.
01:22:01Do you know him personally?
01:22:03Who, Stalin?
01:22:05No, Comrade Dektorov.
01:22:07No.
01:22:09But I'm sure I'll be meeting him soon enough.
01:22:37Katya, I have news. Happy news.
01:23:01Deep inside I'm overjoyed.
01:23:03I want to share my joy with you in secret.
01:23:05I drew with you in secret. Everything seems to be falling into place, quite literally.
01:23:13Everything fits together like it's meant to be there.
01:23:16Sudayev was right. Everything must be simple, as simple as a hammer.
01:23:22I started thinking, and then bam! The solution came to me in a flash.
01:23:28As you might guess, I have trouble sleeping. I'm nervous, I'm terrified.
01:23:31I was less scared going into battle in a tank.
01:23:35At the same time, I'm very excited. I can't wait to test the first batch.
01:24:05Is everything alright?
01:24:15What do we do now?
01:24:16Shooting range.
01:24:19But at the moment they're testing the prototypes from Dektarov.
01:24:23It's no problem, we only have one.
01:24:35Who's doing all the banging?
01:24:44Designer Kalashnikov. I'm gonna have to test my prototype.
01:24:47Today the prototypes from General Dektarov are scheduled for testing.
01:24:54What did I tell you?
01:24:59Good.
01:25:05Yeah, thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
01:25:11What?
01:25:12Oh, right. The only thing I can do for you is pencil you in for a slot on Wednesday.
01:25:16That's two whole days from now.
01:25:17Yeah, well, you'll just have to wait.
01:25:19Listen, I have lost too much sleep over this and I need to see how it performs ASAP.
01:25:24The shooting range is occupied by General Dektarov through Wednesday.
01:25:28Request permission to test elsewhere.
01:25:30I'm goddamn forced to do the trick.
01:25:33Christ almighty, I need to know if I've done everything right.
01:25:36What you're asking is impossible for me to grant.
01:25:39No weapons can be taken off the premises.
01:25:51Can you get us bullets?
01:25:53Bullets? Uh, for what?
01:26:02Okay.
01:26:24Hey, Birdbrain! What the hell is that? Stop all shooting right now!
01:26:32Drop the gun! Stand down, goddammit, or I'll shoot!
01:26:47Easy, easy! Off you go to the slammer!
01:27:03So,
01:27:23to the left and up.
01:27:25Comrade General, Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov is here by your request.
01:27:35Send him in.
01:27:46Well, thank you, Major. You're dismissed.
01:27:49Yes, sir!
01:27:56I remember you, Kalashnikov.
01:28:08The competition in 1943 was won by Sudayev, but your submachine gun stood out by a mile.
01:28:15For a combat weapon, it was an absolute piece of shit.
01:28:19If you don't mind my saying so.
01:28:22But for a handmade gun, pieced together from a chunk of iron, that was quite something.
01:28:34It's been said you have no real education.
01:28:40That's correct, I have no education.
01:28:43So you're self-taught.
01:28:46Why don't you take a seat, Senior Sergeant?
01:28:49I'd be interested in examining your newest rifle.
01:29:01What I mean is before it's put to the test.
01:29:12Comrade General...
01:29:13Don't be scared.
01:29:14I know designers don't like to show their prototypes to each other.
01:29:20But don't worry, your genius ideas aren't going to be stolen by me.
01:29:26My automatic weapon is completed and ready to be tested.
01:29:32I'm just curious about yours.
01:29:43So...
01:30:14Hmm...
01:30:21Not a bad idea.
01:30:44The assembly is intuitive, every part fits perfectly.
01:30:53I don't see any point in submitting my gun for further testing, if I may speak frankly.
01:30:59I'd say the construct of this here is superior to mine.
01:31:02This design by Senior Sergeant Kalashnikov is far more advanced than mine.
01:31:08Comrade General, what should we do with your prototype?
01:31:14Lock it up in a safe somewhere.
01:31:18So that no one can see it.
01:31:20Yes, sir.
01:31:33Vulcan, test fire!
01:31:38Ready.
01:31:41Proceed with the test.
01:31:44I'm now curious.
01:31:56Fire when ready!
01:32:06Failure to eject the cartridge.
01:32:10Dementiev, test fire!
01:32:14Ready.
01:32:15Proceed with the test.
01:32:22Fire when ready!
01:32:37Failure to fire.
01:32:38It appears that the bolt is jammed.
01:32:41Kalashnikov, test fire!
01:32:44Failure to eject the cartridge.
01:32:54Fire when ready!
01:33:14Failure to eject the cartridge.
01:33:16Test fire successful.
01:33:18Continue with the test.
01:33:31You may fire when ready.
01:33:43Misha!
01:34:02Well?
01:34:03Everything seems to have gone well.
01:34:08And aren't you happy?
01:34:11No, I am.
01:34:14Hm.
01:34:17I'm pregnant.
01:34:32Misha!
01:34:34Misha, put me down!
01:34:36Put me down!
01:34:43Put me down!
01:34:51Sir?
01:34:58All the best to you, Sergeant.
01:35:00Thank you, sir.
01:35:04Marshal of the Artillery Varnov.
01:35:07Good day, Comrade Marshal.
01:35:09Kalashnikov.
01:35:10Good day, Comrade Marshal.
01:35:11How are you feeling today?
01:35:12Uh, buoyant.
01:35:14Buoyant is good.
01:35:15You're holding up well.
01:35:17You never forget your first award.
01:35:20Do you have plans for the prize money?
01:35:23Well, I haven't really thought about that, Marshal.
01:35:26Colonel, do you mind if I borrow the Sarton until this evening?
01:35:28Not at all, Comrade Marshal.
01:35:29Let's get in the car.
01:35:32Go for it.
01:35:43Go for it.
01:35:53It's time for you to start moving up the ranks, Kalashnikov.
01:35:57Leave your sergeant days behind you and become an officer.
01:36:00How much education do you have?
01:36:03I had to leave the school early, Marshal, in the seventh grade, sir.
01:36:06That reminds me of Lomonosov who walked from his village in Siberia all the way to Moscow.
01:36:11And you're from where?
01:36:13Altai.
01:36:14And the last time you were home?
01:36:20So long that I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize my own mother.
01:36:24So you better go and visit her.
01:36:26Who will give me permission to do that?
01:36:28I thought I'd get leave after winning the competition.
01:36:32Now I have to plan for 10 years of work ahead of me.
01:36:36We serve the motherland, Sergeant.
01:36:39Our motherland.
01:36:41And the Altai, it's probably beautiful now, right?
01:36:46Oh, yes, it is.
01:37:00Regiment, attention!
01:37:02Eyes right!
01:37:04Eyes forward!
01:37:05Regiment, at ease!
01:37:11Comrade Marshal of the Artillery,
01:37:13the rightful regiment is assembled under the command of Major Ivanov.
01:37:22Greetings, comrades!
01:37:24Greetings to you, Comrade Marshal of the Artillery!
01:37:28Congratulations on successfully completing testing of a new firearm!
01:37:33Hooray!
01:37:37We are proud of the long list of our weapons designers.
01:37:40Creators of powerful weapons that always played a great role in defeating our enemies.

01:37:49and designers like Tokarev, Simonov, and Sudayev
01:37:52will forever be remembered in the history of firearms.
01:37:56Today, I would like to introduce you to a young and very talented designer.
01:38:01Recipient of the Stalin Prize, Senior Sergeant Alexander Kalashnikov.
01:38:06His AK-47 assault rifle is the future of weaponry.
01:38:11We thank you for your service.
01:38:13We thank you, Admirals, for your service!
01:38:17Congratulations, Sergeant.
01:38:19I'll be signing an order for your leave to visit your mother.
01:38:22Go home, my boy, and give your mother all my best.
01:38:32At ease!
01:38:33At ease!
