You have talent.

Hence we have decided to send you

on a six-month course

to teach you precision marksmanship.

Congratulations.

And my studies?

What about them? I think your rector is

also very much in favour.

In six month's time, you come back,

and finish your studies. That's okay isn't it?

Yes, yes, of course, of course.

You come back, and complete your studies.

Okay.

Do I have a choice in this?

I wouldn't advise it.

- Honey, at least take a sweater.

- Mom, they give us everything there.

And what if they don't? Besides, you'll

need something until you get there.

Here's some pierogi.

You won't be able to get mom's pirogi there.

Don't you want to say anything to me?

Oh God! Well, it is for six months.

Misha, it's the middle of winter...

Can't you just call them and have it postponed?

Lyuda!

All her life you treated her like a boy.

See how that ended up?

Why didn't you stop her?

Half my life I've been at war,

and women get the worst of it.

Soon there will be a new war.

We are, of course, thankful to America...

International Student Assembly, USA, 1942

...for the Lend-Lease programme.

But if we want to finish off Hitler

as quickly as possible,

then you need to make a decisive step.

And so the Soviet delegation is asking

you to include the issue...

of opening a second front...

on the assembly's agenda today as

the main item.

The Soviet people need help, they

do not need charity.

That is why, in the name of the Soviet delegation,

I ask you to stop this farce.

Lyuda, speak!

Pavlichenko!

How come you ended up here?

We've been doing this all summer.

Is this our lives now.

Odessa, June 1941

As historians, I thought we'd be excavating places

like Troy and investigating burial sites.

But what are we supposed to excavate here?

Look at us, like, it's horrific.

Miss Slavochka. Your materials are ready.

Here you go.

Come back on Monday. Take care.

Thank you

Lyuda, do you like sailors?

I like police officers.

The police? Why?

Because if you don't start studying,

I'm gonna call them.

Our exams are just around the corner,

you need to focus.

Still, a sailor would be nice.

I would wait for him. I would...

Then perhaps you should go to the beach.

There's sailors aplenty there, and airmen,

and criminals,

and even police officers.

A fine selection.

See Lyuda, policemen.

Ah Sonya, Sonya, they don't understand.

They just don't listen.

It's Friday, I need to close the library.

Don't worry, I understand you.

I've got other things to do as well.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Sonya, tell me, who do you like more,

sailors or airmen?

- Y'know what, go for a doctor. Lyuda.

- Where?

I'm heading off to the beach now.
