Based on V. Ivanov's book "Rus the Primordial"

00:00:09,221 --> 00:00:11,355
"From the days of yore, we, the Greeks,

4
00:00:11,444 --> 00:00:13,650
have called these knights

5
00:00:13,762 --> 00:00:16,158
'the Rosichi' or 'the men of Rus'

6
00:00:16,835 --> 00:00:19,859
The men of Rus are valiant warriors

7
00:00:20,178 --> 00:00:22,827
During raids few slaves can be captured

8
00:00:22,891 --> 00:00:24,750
from among these Slavs

9
00:00:25,309 --> 00:00:28,968
for they prefer death to slavery."

The Childhood of Ratibor

12
00:01:20,275 --> 00:01:25,188
Sleep, my baby, Ratibor

13
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:27,380
Sleep sweetly

14
00:01:30,262 --> 00:01:37,710
Like the eyes of the land, the lakes, also sleep

15
00:01:38,021 --> 00:01:39,957
Sweetly sleep

16
00:01:42,942 --> 00:01:45,362
Like the lakes

17
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:51,571
The Ros, our river, also sleeps

18
00:01:52,227 --> 00:01:54,355
Sweetly sleeps

19
00:01:55,572 --> 00:02:00,594
Ros the river sleeps so sweetly...

20
00:02:03,563 --> 00:02:08,484
And you sleep too, my springlet

21
00:02:08,657 --> 00:02:12,252
Little Ratibor

22
00:02:12,889 --> 00:02:15,310
The woods sleep

23
00:02:15,393 --> 00:02:23,908
And like walls, surround our towns

24
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:31,554
Alright

25
00:02:32,629 --> 00:02:34,986
Aneyushka, that`s for you

26
00:02:35,592 --> 00:02:37,370
Mstislavushka is ill

27
00:02:38,009 --> 00:02:38,846
He needs your help!

28
00:04:25,581 --> 00:04:27,519
Oh Dawn, oh Dusk

29
00:04:28,204 --> 00:04:29,949
You are two sisters

30
00:04:30,021 --> 00:04:32,814
One of the morning, one of the evening

31
00:04:41,896 --> 00:04:47,340
Lift the cursed fever from little Mstislavushka

32
00:04:48,259 --> 00:04:51,935
Grant him a deep sleep

33
00:04:53,644 --> 00:04:57,074
You, Rozhanitsi, Radunitsi

34
00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:59,141
Our foremothers

35
00:04:59,213 --> 00:05:01,618
The granddaughters of Svarog

36
00:05:02,346 --> 00:05:06,242
See through his recovery  ??????????

37
00:05:11,314 --> 00:05:11,973
I know

38
00:05:12,783 --> 00:05:13,625
I see

39
00:05:14,732 --> 00:05:16,699
Mighty is my word

40
00:05:17,422 --> 00:05:18,819
Mighty

41
00:05:19,701 --> 00:05:21,194
Mighty

42
00:05:30,932 --> 00:05:33,408
Grow up big, Ratibor!

43
00:05:34,478 --> 00:05:35,764
Come on, Ratibor

44
00:05:36,908 --> 00:05:38,391
Walk with more cheer!

45
00:05:38,766 --> 00:05:40,704
Grow faster!

46
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:42,702
It`s too early

47
00:05:43,228 --> 00:05:44,197
He`s big!

48
00:05:44,915 --> 00:05:45,951
Right, Ratibor?

49
00:05:54,069 --> 00:05:56,005
Here`s a horsie for you

50
00:05:57,252 --> 00:05:58,379
Take this knife!

51
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:00,194
Cut off the spare wood!

52
00:06:00,584 --> 00:06:02,829
What is this?

53
00:06:03,262 --> 00:06:06,642
We call this boot-dagger a knife

54
00:06:07,675 --> 00:06:10,833
Yes, you can hide it in your boot

55
00:06:13,225 --> 00:06:15,519
That`s good, Ratibor

56
00:06:16,762 --> 00:06:20,538
Now you know what pain is, don`t you?

57
00:06:23,028 --> 00:06:27,225
You won`t hurt others without a cause

58
00:06:30,209 --> 00:06:31,756
Here are our forests

59
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,304
Alive, just like me and you

60
00:06:36,185 --> 00:06:38,019
The sap flows

61
00:06:38,091 --> 00:06:41,401
From the roots to the highest branch

62
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:44,295
What`s this?

63
00:06:44,444 --> 00:06:47,016
That`s the taste of your forest, Ratibor

64
00:06:51,247 --> 00:06:52,072
What`s that?

65
00:06:52,754 --> 00:06:53,762
That's the wood spirit

66
00:06:54,841 --> 00:06:56,833
This happens every spring

67
00:07:20,728 --> 00:07:22,537
What if you'd missed?

68
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:24,054
No, Ratibor

69
00:07:24,846 --> 00:07:26,375
I couldn't have missed

70
00:07:28,177 --> 00:07:29,661
Hold your left hand more firmly

71
00:07:30,956 --> 00:07:32,210
Firm against the bone!

72
00:07:33,324 --> 00:07:34,752
Curve your wrist

73
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:37,704
Well done!

74
00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:39,901
Shoot again

75
00:07:40,949 --> 00:07:42,497
You'll collect the arrows later

76
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:49,824
Do you hear that, Ratibor?

77
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:56,218
That's a lark

78
00:07:56,706 --> 00:07:58,064
They come first

79
00:07:59,404 --> 00:08:01,095
Where do they live? How do they live?

80
00:08:01,168 --> 00:08:01,985
Who knows...

81
00:08:04,665 --> 00:08:06,481
You shouldn`t hurt them

82
00:08:07,072 --> 00:08:09,254
We call them the soul of songs

83
00:08:42,071 --> 00:08:44,625
Darn, he's scared all the fish away

84
00:08:56,914 --> 00:08:58,906
And who is that?

85
00:09:00,777 --> 00:09:02,744
That is Mstislavushka, of course,

86
00:09:03,094 --> 00:09:04,673
Who was ill last autumn

87
00:09:06,508 --> 00:09:09,230
Also, his grandfather fought last summer

88
00:09:10,674 --> 00:09:12,650
He took out 5 steppe people...

89
00:09:14,807 --> 00:09:20,610
...and the sixth got him

90
00:09:21,426 --> 00:09:23,490
Death is not scary, Ratibor

91
00:09:24,885 --> 00:09:27,147
But life in shackles is

92
00:09:29,586 --> 00:09:31,626
We've lingered around for too long

93
00:09:31,793 --> 00:09:33,078
So let`s go!

94
00:09:51,017 --> 00:09:52,755
O god of the sun!

95
00:09:53,746 --> 00:09:56,754
O god of light and fertility!

96
00:09:58,214 --> 00:10:00,500
 O great Hors!

97
00:10:02,299 --> 00:10:05,386
You children have come to you!

98
00:10:06,993 --> 00:10:10,254
Oh grant them your warmth!

99
00:10:12,009 --> 00:10:14,730
Send them warm rains!

100
00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:18,250
So that the children of your chilren

101
00:10:21,017 --> 00:10:24,565
Live for peaceful toil

102
00:11:39,453 --> 00:11:41,385
Belai, at this rate

103
00:11:41,624 --> 00:11:43,235
he'll die there on the furrow

104
00:11:43,304 --> 00:11:46,485
Everyone wants to die doing sacred work

105
00:11:48,272 --> 00:11:48,621
Go!

106
00:11:53,974 --> 00:11:55,592
It`s hard for old people

107
00:11:56,013 --> 00:11:57,441
Their legs aren't as they used to be

108
00:11:58,474 --> 00:11:59,728
His strength is in his purity

109
00:11:59,775 --> 00:12:01,060
Who could compare with him?

110
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,211
No one!

111
00:12:13,633 --> 00:12:15,189
What if the Khazars come

112
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,379
Who will harvest this then?

113
00:12:19,707 --> 00:12:21,802
No matter if they come or not

114
00:12:24,183 --> 00:12:26,999
You must plow and sow

115
00:12:26,881 --> 00:12:28,992
You must believe in the better

116
00:12:30,763 --> 00:12:32,136
To await life, not death

117
00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:07,033
Run, Mstislavushka!

118
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:08,899
Run to the town!

119
00:13:09,407 --> 00:13:12,639
And tell the chief that we're in trouble!

120
00:13:21,153 --> 00:13:22,456
Mstisha!

121
00:14:17,994 --> 00:14:18,922
Go to the oakwood!

122
00:14:19,796 --> 00:14:20,550
And stay low!

123
00:14:24,918 --> 00:14:26,180
We've done a good job!

124
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,362
A good one indeed!

125
00:14:51,895 --> 00:14:53,473
Living for life's sake

126
00:14:54,745 --> 00:14:57,761
a Rosich always chooses freedom

127
00:14:59,403 --> 00:15:00,839
There is no death, Ratibor

128
00:15:15,788 --> 00:15:17,455
O our forbearers!

129
00:15:19,113 --> 00:15:21,049
O Radunitsi our foremothers!

130
00:15:22,452 --> 00:15:24,785
O Svarog, O Dazdbog!

131
00:15:26,332 --> 00:15:29,076
Defend and protect us!

132
00:15:29,644 --> 00:15:33,220
We will all be in the heavens

133
00:15:33,426 --> 00:15:35,076
Each at their own time

134
00:15:48,357 --> 00:15:49,809
But now, Svarog

135
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,536
Save your grandchildren!

136
00:17:23,132 --> 00:17:24,687
"Living for life's sake

137
00:17:24,997 --> 00:17:27,728
a Rosich always chooses freedom"

138
00:17:28,894 --> 00:17:30,385
"There is no death, Ratibor"

139
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,250
People from far and wide

140
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,722
have come to the burial

141
00:18:36,386 --> 00:18:38,195
by their own will

142
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:42,680
to again remember their unity

143
00:18:44,009 --> 00:18:47,565
The strength of our bonds here

144
00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:50,789
makes us wish

145
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,075
to live on even after death

146
00:18:57,661 --> 00:18:59,090
We shall meet!

147
00:19:00,928 --> 00:19:03,531
We will meet!

148
00:19:27,825 --> 00:19:29,619
The end
