Look at that, all here, huh?

Borya Fomin

is in the sad and lonely today.

Well, Zoya, go sit with him.

Do what you want, Anna Sergeevna,

but I won't let a girl sit next to me.

How do you mean, you won't let?

Tut-Tut, and what have I done to sit next to a girl?

Do you think that to sit next to a girl is a chastisement?

Not a chastisement, it is worse than that.

Just touch her and she immediately begins to squall.

Move over, boy.

Tut-Tut, move over...

Move over, boy.

Move over.

Well, that's fine.

So kids,

today we'll continue to study our native language.

For the beginning, let's analyze...

Now subtract 18.

Add 4.

Fine. Go back to your place.

Kids, petals form a corolla.

Now we take a look inside the flower.

So kids, all that red, that's is our country.

It occupies the 1/6 of the world.

You know... let's be friends.

I want too.

Okay.

What is your name?

Vera.

And what's yours?

Zina.

Zinka-piggie.

Why you were late for the beginning of the year?

My father died.

Pet'ka, follow me!

Hooray!

Pet'ka is a fool, he knows nothing

if it's not about his football.

We say to Anna Sergeevna.

Come, girls.

Sergey Semenovich,

how come you're interested in this Reichstag.

Bah, one of the ugliest buildings in Europe was burnt down.

Serves it right.

You should not have laughed it off...

I am convinced that this is just the beginning.

And as Shakespeare wrote: Atrocity will not have measure.

Hundreds of thousands of books... Vandals! Criminals!

Idiots, bigots!

Villains!

They're burning the books!

Dullards, savages...

To burn Tolstoy...

Just think of it, Tolstoy in flames!

Dostoevsky in flames, Hegel, Darwin, Marx...

Witches' sabbath! Bald Mountain!

Please tell me, your name is Owl?

What? What Owl?

The kids told to me that we can borrow books

for reading from the Owl.

What, what?

And during the day Owl conducts a history lessons,

and after lessons he sits here and gives out the books.

Wait wait...

Owl...

With glasses, blind, sitting on a perch.

That's me.

Of course, that's me!

So that how you dignify me.

So what do you want from the Owl, girl?

I was going to ask you for reading stuff.

But you were swearing so that I got interested...

And what did you get interested in?

I got interested in who burned the books?

No kid in our class would do this.

Not even the most hooligan boys.

I'm also sure that in your class,

nobody is capable of such filth.

Fascists have done this. Germans.

Yesterday, in all the cities of Germany

exactly at midnight,

the books were burned on bonfires.

They want to push the world back to the Middle Ages, but...

nothing, nothing!

For 40 years, I teach history for such as you.
