joined the Russian Army and -

left the boy at the age of 6 to be

looked after by some relatives

The mother is serving in the war

against terrorism in Chechnya.

Hi mummy, I miss you.

Sorry. I forgot your birthday.

Last holiday I spent at a camp.

I sewed two soft toys there.

One for you, for the New year, -

one for my teacher.

We played table tennis

at the camp. I came 6th.

Goodbye,

Tolmachev.

To Ludmila Anatolevna, Hankala

army base, Grozny, Chechnya.

Heavy clouds hide the sky.

Clouds of lead, so heavy.

So darkness lands in my soul.

The clouds hide my life.

I want to dream like Puskin.

I'll fly in space and

sing the songs.

I wish, I wish, I wish,

each moment!

But no one understands me.

I do not obey

the orders of the officers.

I free this child

from all his sins.

Run after me.

It is real fun on the other side.

Let's visit those boats.

Just for fun.

Let's take a tugboat,

it will take us through the ice.

Mamma, determeg.

Mummy, it's me.

I'm allowed to have a leave,

they let me out.

Are you coming to pick me up?

Mummy, on Monday they won't

let me go. That's a working day.

Did they give an order,

when should you come?

At nine?

Then I'll go with you.

Oh yes!

Mummy...

Half past six?

Yes, that's alright.

"Don't gossip near a phone, a

talking head is a treasure for a spy"

If I come, will the dog

bark at me again?

Mummy, you think it barks?

Can you promise?

Come half past six.

In the house of the Shmelevs?

Aunt Lena, please,..

Could you write a permission?

With that I will

get a winter holiday.

I could visit a friend.

He is Chebinejev Jaroslav.

Aunt Lena, at the camp

I made a soft toy.

Yes, a dog again, but bigger.

Is someone waiting for me?

Who?

Where?

Which metro station?

Clear.

Clear.

The bus is not here yet.

Keep your distance!

You dummies!

Attention! Stand straight!

Form a straight line!

Chins up! Shut your mouth!

Form a straight line!

Look at this!

Letters. -

Written together?

What's written there?

- Nothing.

Good day, Comrade

Captain, 1. Grade!

Don't scream!

Did someone stab you with a knife?

Hooray!

He is Sergej, age 14.

From the city of Grozny,

Chechnya.

His father was Russian.

Died when Russians bombed Grozny.

He is discriminated

against at the Academy -

as the boys thinks

he is a Chechen.

I saw when they dug up dad's body,

from a mass grave.

Then I became lonely.

I closed into myself.

In Grozny the war

ruined everything.

I'm going to be a soldier.

I know what war is.

Still, I'm not afraid

to kill bad people.

Here is tea for you,

grandmother. Carefully...

And take the bread.

There is something to eat as well.

Have you been sick?

- Oh, me?
