This story which has come from Volga to ganga

passing many countries to this place was started 8 years ago.

Our small city was covered up by snow

and I was after a long and tiring journey was lying sick at my home.

Hey lord what is happening here. Why are you giving me so much of sadness.

Father is blind.

Sister's are unmarried.

Mother is old and helpless and you are roaming around like a nomad.

Are you my son or my enemy?

Hey lord have pity on us.

What is happening here? I couldn't understand anything.

Why?

I couldn't understand what they are saying. Let me hear it. Get aside.

Alright mother, I wont go anywhere. Anywhere.

There are many dealers here too but they don't go anywhere not to Turkistan nor iran

but still they are happy.

They have houses built like palaces.

And you are moving around all the countries for nothing.

You need to have some shame in you.

I want to see the whole world mother.

World? what do you want to see in this world?

This is your world. Your father, mother, your house, your well-wishers.

This hut and the children is all the world for you.

You want peace in your heart.

Peace otherwise the devil would never leave you.

Peace mother. Peace.

Give me some juice atleast.

Hey girls, your brother wont go anywhere now.

TEXT TEXT

Okay. The world may be bigger but a home is a home. Isn't it?

If your home is good then why would anyone wander around.

Hey dunishya, you have come at the right time.

Come daughter. Greetings.

Mother was asking whether do you need anything?

Not at this time

but we would need it in some time. We would need it.

Let him restore his health then

Your feeling shy? You can feel shy about it.

A girl who is shy before marriage is the one who order's around once married.

So how is he? tvasko.

You can become a dealer.

Listen avanasi, I have thought about a new business.

Next month our Russian dealers are going to baku. No

I am not going anywhere.

The business is good and we will earn a lot of profit.

I will arrange for all the other goods required.

I will not go.

So will you come to Moscow?

Lot of dealers from different countries have come there

I am not going. I have already told you.

Listen voitor, I just need peace. Peace.

Otherwise devil wouldn't leave us.

He has gone out of his mind.

Friend's are going, I am thinking we could accompany them to Moscow.

What is happening over here?

We were just talking about ordinary things.

Talking about devil, I have heard that they have horns.

And this foolish guy is telling me that they have tails.

Well we were just talking about this.

I can understand things very well, your devil I mean.

I am scared. Why you need to get scared?

Magailo, Magailo you give away the gift.

Paidra, you do other things.

You understood right?

What is he saying, this tatari?

He is running away

and claims that to challenge him is like a chewing iron millets.

Vasili, I think he has asked us to come here.

You all come with me.

So how was the journey for you people?

Everyone is safe who are Russians.

Majesty, accept this gift from us.

Safin, I am making you the head of a team to go for sherwaan.

After this winter, you need to prepare to go there.

You are also aware of the words of Danish

so it's a very important work. Are you ready for it.

Yes sir. Your orders are accepted from me.

So tell me which all countries you had been too?

Sir I was there till the sultanate of ganza.

Sir I had been to kafa,

there is huge market and lord of dealers come there.

There is huge market and lord of dealers come there.

How many Russian traders were there?

I was the only one sir.

Our people don't understand the value of a journey.

There are lot of people here

who doint step out of their house and they think it as an insult.

They couldn't understand how many countries are there,

where we could carry our business.

Which means india where the culture is very rich.

Sir there is a desert on the way.

Well the real danger is going through sea waters.

You can find pirates there who don't leave anyone.

They don't want us Russian traders to do business with a rich country like india.

Okay but still we cant reach there.

Who are you? Avanasy. Alias nikitin.

This gentleman had been to many countries.

He had been to so many countries that his head still spins.

No country in this world cant be separated from each other.

India is far away and it's a truth.

The way there is paved with difficulties.

But keep in your mind that someday some nomad would reach there.

You will not go. You wouldn't go anywhere.

Why are so insistent on destroying your family.

I will not allow you to go anywhere.

I will kill myself if you say so.

Girls could you tell him.

Natasha, daughter you make him understand.

So you really leaving? Avanasy nikitin.

Hey lord have pity on our state. Why are being punished?

What sin we had committed.

Why cant our son like other people stay with his family and be happy.

Make him understand things lord.

Oh God damn, don't you think I too want to stay at a place and be quiet.

I always pray for it night and day. But what I can do, I cant sit at a place.

Where would you roam around, tell us?

India, I am going to india where no Russians have gone before.

This is my last wish, give me your permission mother.

This pendant belonged to your grandmother.

We don't have anything else.

You can use this during your journey

and you always wear this around your neck.

And now you too give him to the lord.

I think it was written in destiny.

Be cautious, there is a ship on the way.

See he is driving it so fast.

I think it's a foreign ship. Maybe it is czar?

I don't think so.

We are from tver city and are Russian traders.

Greeting from Hassan beg to the all the traders from Russia.

Our emperor Hassan beg is returning to his country after his visit to Russia.

Greeting the mighty king.

Great, you spoke in a Persian language.

I think you are the leader of them.

I am just avanasy nikitin and I am not any leader or anything.

I am just a simple Russian trader.

It was very humble to meet you.

Tell me where your ship is planning to go?

First we would go to krygsatn

and if the lord is willing then we will go to india.

India? But the way is difficult.

If the way was easy we could have never thought of going to india.

Great, if we meet again then I will more than happy.

Greetings afanasy.

If the destiny wills then we would meet up again.

Bye everyone.

Move the ship forward.

Tatari? Tatari

Let the ship move.

What happened? Tatari has come,

its has come then we would be destroyed.

Row the boat fast.

They are moving closer. Now what would happen?

Beware avanasy. All be alert.

Today its been one and half years after leaving my house.

What do you write in this book?

Day and night.

I write about the journey. Our state which I see it everyday.

I feel like I never reach india.

What did you say? Why do you say such things.

After leaving from here in couple of days we would both reach india.

You understand?

Who would find a friend like you. Now the journey would go fine.

Catch him. He was the one who was with him.

We will ask him. He is his friend.

Where is portugali? What has happened?

My horse is missing and my water bag is tore open.

Its your friend who have done this. What are you blabbering?

Why would he do such a thing.

You are also a theif. A friend of a theif. What did you say.?

You know what will be the consequences of your words?

Leave him.

Take this.

He betrayed me. Leader, leader.

I want the horse, where would that scum go?

The thief has ran away. Don't tire the horses.

Where would he go?

Take it.

Quickly. Quickly. Quickly.

Keep it safe there. Put the other one too.

Make it fast. Open up the mast.

Wait. Wait.

Take it. Greetings.

Ask him where has he come from. His horse seems to very beautiful.

It's a good one. You would get a good price for it in india.

You have tired the horse.

I was trying to catch up a scum from a long way.
