00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:45,986
Once a lonely old man lived in
a village. He guarded the
orchard of a collective farm.

2
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:51,290
The old man had come to the village
long ago, and was quiet and reserved...

16
00:03:29,662 --> 00:03:32,674
You've done a bad thing, Ivashka.

17
00:03:33,652 --> 00:03:36,704
Now go, and think!

18
00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:19,358
"You've done a bad thing, Ivashka.
Now go, and think!

19
00:04:23,502 --> 00:04:26,078
"Now go, and think!"

20
00:04:27,806 --> 00:04:29,582
Strange old man.

21
00:04:30,356 --> 00:04:32,286
He didn't lay a hand on me...

22
00:04:32,386 --> 00:04:34,786
...or even yell.

23
00:06:24,530 --> 00:06:29,410
"If you think your life is bad,
carry this stone up a hill,

24
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:32,060
smash it to pieces there,

25
00:06:32,158 --> 00:06:37,080
and you will regain your youth
and start life all over again."

26
00:06:48,478 --> 00:06:51,406
The stone is magic, that much is clear.

27
00:06:53,014 --> 00:06:55,314
But what's it good for?

28
00:06:56,686 --> 00:07:00,000
To start life all over
from the beginning...

29
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,000
So you'd have to go to first grade again.

30
00:07:04,084 --> 00:07:07,630
Why would anyone want to be stuck
in the same grade for a second year?

31
00:07:28,350 --> 00:07:30,730
I know! I know!

32
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:36,638
I know who needs this stone!

33
00:08:35,198 --> 00:08:38,606
Grandpa!
Grandpa!

34
00:08:42,894 --> 00:08:46,046
I know how to bring back your youth.

35
00:09:03,566 --> 00:09:06,058
I'm not telling a fib!

36
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:10,282
You only need to drag that rock up
a hill! And smash it there!

37
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:14,758
No, Ivashka, today there's
too much work to do in the garden.

38
00:09:14,894 --> 00:09:18,622
Looks like you'll have to drag it to the hill yourself.

39
00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:22,634
Then I'll drop by, for a short while,

40
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:25,758
and bang it with something.

41
00:09:28,094 --> 00:09:30,174
Well, all right.

42
00:10:11,950 --> 00:10:15,706
Good enough, Ivashka!
Leave the stone alone.

43
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,590
You've already made it here.

44
00:10:20,222 --> 00:10:25,770
But grandpa, why didn't you bring...
a hammer of a crow-bar?

45
00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:29,470
Are you thinking to smash
the stone with a stick?

46
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:32,782
I'm not gonna smash it at all!

47
00:10:33,918 --> 00:10:36,458
Yes, I'm old and lame.

48
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:38,906
I've been wounded many times.

49
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,938
But I'm happy,

50
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:43,770
because I lived my life in such a way

51
00:10:43,870 --> 00:10:48,222
that there's no need to start all over.

52
00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:51,658
And, so you can understand better,

53
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:55,838
I'll just tell you about my youth...

54
00:11:02,318 --> 00:11:08,558
It was very long ago...

55
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:18,386
Long, long ago.

56
00:11:19,230 --> 00:11:24,270
[Russian Empire]

57
00:11:26,814 --> 00:11:31,434
At that time,
we common people lived so badly,

58
00:11:31,530 --> 00:11:36,270
so badly, things just couldn't get worse!

59
00:11:38,942 --> 00:11:41,454
Oh, things were bad, really bad!

60
00:11:53,534 --> 00:11:57,502
But the dawn of the revolution
wasn't far off.

61
00:13:24,958 --> 00:13:28,846
We were all just plain folk...

62
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:34,026
But we put all our rage,
all the strength of our people...

63
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:40,030
into the mighty blow that
overthrew the double eagle,

64
00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:44,926
which meant we overthrew
the Tsar and the capitalists.

65
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:52,190
And I, kids, had the fortune to take part..

66
00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:56,862
in that most wonderful
revolution in the world!

67
00:13:57,278 --> 00:14:02,798
But the workers' and peasants' authority
was not to the liking of the capitalists!

68
00:14:03,374 --> 00:14:06,586
From all ends of the earth...

69
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:10,350
they sent armies that advanced
against our young republic.

70
00:14:14,958 --> 00:14:18,762
More frightening than death
to me sounded the words

71
00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:23,402
that our country was ringed
by hostile forces

72
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,710
bent on destroying us!

73
00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:39,214
But one and all we rose to the
defense of our motherland!

74
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:29,870
We defeated the capitalists
and cast them out from our land!

75
00:15:47,742 --> 00:15:52,250
In our darkest, remotest battles,
still we cherished the dream

76
00:15:52,350 --> 00:15:59,550
that our country would become
as great and powerful as it is now!

77
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:03,038
This is a great joy, my children!

78
00:16:04,574 --> 00:16:08,846
As for the stone, heck,
let it lie there in plain sight!

79
00:16:09,246 --> 00:16:12,722
Maybe someone else
will want to smash this stone...

80
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:15,390
but I don't need it!

81
00:16:16,622 --> 00:16:19,370
Why would I want another life,

82
00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:21,370
another youth,

83
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:28,670
when, even though mine was...
hard, it was clear... and honest.

84
00:16:33,724 --> 00:16:37,278
The End
