have commanded me to make the

following announcement.

What a terrifying voice he is announcing with.

What could it be?

Andriusa and Danilka will be drafted immediately.

What about Mitea and Vasea?

What do you think?

Will they send them to fight?

After all, they are priests.

Peresvet and Osleabea were monks.

But they fought at Kulikovo.

What did you remember?!

Father!

Father, bless!

Or at least with holy water.

Immediately.

Immediately.

- Morozov, we will send you to the military tribunal.

- At the tribunal...

Father Alexander.

Oh Lord, bless the army of these russian boys.

You alone know their names.

In the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

unto the kingdom of Christ our God, together

with the Father and the Holy Spirit

now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

"Do you renounce satan and all his works,

and all his servants,

and all his serving,

and all his trickery?

I renounce.

Do you unite yourself with Christ?

Do you unite yourself with Christ?

I unite myself to Christ.

It's a Russian tradition.

Bread and salt.

Loligager.

The servant of God Eva is

being baptized.

There's our trophy.

This is their leader - Lenin.

No, this is his prize.

This is a bolshevik stallion.

Oh, such an odor comes from this animal.

Take pictures faster.

So? did you baptize that girl?

- I cannot not baptize her.

- I won't say anything.

My white-haired rabbit.

You have a reason to be joyful.

A letter from your best friend.

From Vladica Serghie.

He is asking me to come to him in Riga.

It means that you, a German, have fought

for the Tsar and Russia against the Germans?

You see, I am a German Russian.

In 1914 I finished Aleksandr military highschool.

I left on the austrian front.

- And in 1917?

In the autumn of '17 I was in Moscow.

Have you fought with the junkers for Kremlin?

For Kerenski, give me a break.

Thank you.

One icecream.

Then the Don River, then Denikin, the defeat, the end.

In the '20s I returned to the home of my ancestors,

in occidental Prussia (Germany),

I have become a colonel,

but I remain orthodox.

Very well. So you are saying,

you know Hitler personally?

A few days ago I had lunch with him

and some of his close ones.

And, what about it, does he wish

the rebirth of Orthodoxy in Russia?

You wish for a direct answer? Then - no.

In this case,

it's a momentary weekness?

And then, like in the time of the Romans,

the persecution,

crucified Christians along the roads?

Or as it is usually with our civilized world...

Generally, the Fuhrer cares little about this.

But the people that take care of our problem

are interested in the rebirth

of the church life in Russia.
