Evilenko

Once upon a time, there was a little girl, just like you,

with hair just like yours and eyes just like yours,

and she followed a cloud and learned how to fly.

And after a while, since no one had seen her,

well, every one thought that the girl was dead.

So they had a funeral.

And the girl watched her own funeral from way, way up there...

in the sky and she saw that no one was crying.

And then she knew her mommy and daddy didn't really love her.

So she stayed up in the sky and never came down again.

Is that the end?

Yes.

EVILENKO

We are the pioneers of the Soviet Union,

there are millions and millions of us.

Do you see our flags?

In the wind they carry the wonderful ideals of comrade Lenin.

Yes?

Sir? Can I have my ball back?

This ball?

You mean to tell me that this is your ball, Sasha?

Yes. My mommy gave it to me for my birthday!

Your mommy?

Your birthday?

Your ball?

Well, you're lucky you even have a mother.

Most of your comrades here are not quite so fortunate.

We are all equal in here.

Nothing can be yours in this institute, or his, or mine.

Your mother was very wrong to buy you presents.

I'll have to have a... word with her when I see her.

You may s it down now.

Not you.

It's your turn to clean up today.

Whore.

Whore.

Whore!

Why are you crying, Tonja?

Whores don't cry.

Stop whimpering come on.

No more tears.

Come, please, come here, come.

Oh, oh Tonja

You're the only one.

The only one who really knows.

The others are afraid of me, but not you.

Because you know how much I care for you, don't you?

What were you showing to your friend Kolya during class?

Nothing.

Oh no, no, no. I saw you.

E h, you know I saw you, you even blushed, yeah.

Just like you're blushing now.

Secrets cost money, it's only fair.

It's all yours you take it, alright?

Show me.

Let me see if it's worth the money.

It's the first time you've seen a real man.

Scared, huh?

You like it too, don't you, be ho nest.

You can touch him if you want.

Here, give me your hand.

Oh no? No.

He wants to be your friend.

He told me that he likes you and he's dying to s how you...

what happens to him when you touch him.

He gets big, and if you treat him right you're ho nest with him,

he can do anything... there is nothing he can't do.

What, even fly?

Yeah, even fly... and if you're very brave...

he'll let you fly with him.

Does that mean me he can talk too?

Oh no, no, no, no he doesn't talk to any one.

He, he doesn't trust any one.

Not even me?

No, no, no, not you, of course.

Alright then, make him talk.

Wait, wait a moment.

st...

give him a chance to get big.

No, you're lying!

He can't talk. He can't, because he's dead.

No, No, no, you.

I'm sorry about this, Andrej Romanovich.

But little Tonja here claims that you...

well, basically that you tried to rape her?

You see, comrade...

I'm very fond of Tonja but for some strange reason...

she seems to have nothing but sex on her mind.

The fact that she's accused me of raping her would seem...

to prove my point, wouldn't you agree, comrade?

What's wrong with you, Tonja?

How could you make up such a horrible story?

Do you think it's clever?

I didn't make up anything!

I told the truth!

And if you don't believe me, look at his arm!

I stabbed him! Look at his arm!

The other teachers have been inciting her against me,

you can be sure of that.

A conspiracy, you mean?

Oh, you to ok the words right out of my mouth.

We're on the verge of chaos,

it's up to us good communists to do something about it...

before it's too late.

Show me your arm, comrade Evilenko.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that, comrade.

And I'll pretend I didn't hear this story.

I expect your resignation with in the hour, comrade Evilenko.

Come on, Andrej!

Hurry up you'll be late for school!

I won't be going to the school anymore, Fenja.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'll, I'll tell you later this evening...

when you get home from work.

No, no, go on, Papocka. Tell me now.

I made a d is co very, a terrible discovery.

The headmaster is part of the conspiracy.

What? Surinov?

Yes, Surinov. Up to his neck in it.

The other day one of the boys asked the geography teacher...

what communism was...

and this is what Tablinova answered to him.

S he said: 'communism is a model society in which all men...

are supposed to be equal but it's a utopian ideal',

in other words, 'an impossible dream'.

Ah, can you believe that?

Oh, Andrej, what are you going to do about it?

I went straight in to Surinov and I told him...

if he tolerated anticommunist doctrine in the classroom,

I had no alternative but to hand in my resignation.

Good Andrej.

And what did he say?

Well, the bastard accepted it.

What? No, that's impossible!

Andrej, you must go and speak to the Party straight away!

I will, Fenja, yes I will.

But, but it's... I've got to be careful.

Very careful.

No. Andrej, listen to me,

you can't give up now.

You must go straight away to the Party...

and tell them how serious this is.

I know.

Why don't you write them a letter?

Oh, you're so good at that.

Go now. You don't want to be late.

Have you been waiting long?

I was late for the bus.

- What's your name? - Larissa.

I bet you're eleven years old, Larissa.

Yes.

I expect you're wondering how I knew that?

Yes.

Well, that's easy.

I teach little girls like you.

I'm a school teacher, you see?

Oh.

Let me guess. You got a bad grade today.

How do you know?

Well, a good teacher knows everything.

I don't expect your mother would be very proud of you...

to go home late with a bad grade.

Larissa... Don't cry, don't cry.

I tell you what...

hey, why don't I take you home?

My car's parked over there behind those trees.

Come on.

In order to continue the process of the perestroika,

in order to advance and speed up the reforms,

in order to protect democracy, in order to efficiently promote...

I'm going out Fenja.

I can't stand this disgusting scene.

- I'll be back soon. - Alright dear.

Are you Evilenko Andrej Romanovich?

Yes.

I've come straight from Moscow.

From Moscow?

I'm here to give these back to you.

My letters?

What do they think of my letters it in Moscow?

Nowadays, there are not many people who think as you do.

I'm a communist and I will die a communist,

I have already lost my job at the school...

because of my ideals.

There is a desk waiting for you.

Officially it's a very ordinary job...

but you will be working for us.

Who exactly are you?

I am General Tabakov.

KG B?

Right now we need comrades we can trust.

And I feel that we can trust you.

The head of the department is a man called Bagdasarov,

he used to work for us, but now he's gone over...

to the Gorbachev side.

We need to prove that he steals.

Do you think you can do it?

I'll do my best.

Good.

If there any problems... do not hesitate to call me.
