:23:06
My name is...
:23:09
Nikita Sergeyevich Kruschev.
:23:14
I've come to take things
in hand here.
:23:17
This city is not Kursk...
:23:21
nor is it Kiev, nor Minsk.
:23:25
This city is Stalingrad.
:23:28
Stalingrad!
:23:32
This city bears the name
of the boss.
:23:35
It's more than a city,
it's a symbol.
:23:38
If the Germans
capture this city,
:23:43
the entire country
will collapse.
:23:47
Now, I want our boys...
:23:51
to raise their heads.
:23:54
I want them to act like
they have balls!
:23:57
I want them to stop shitting
their pants!
:24:04
That's your job.
:24:08
As political officers,
I'm counting on you.
:24:16
You,
what's your suggestion?
:24:19
Shoot all the other generals
who have retreated...
:24:22
and their
chiefs of staff too.
:24:25
M-Make some examples.
:24:28
-D-D-Deport families of the deserters--
-Yeah, that's all been done.
:24:32
[Man]
Give them hope!
:24:45
Here, the men's only choice
is between German bullets and ours.
:24:50
But there's another way.
The way of courage.
:24:53
The way of love
of the motherland.
:24:55
We must publish
the army newspaper again.
:24:57
We must tell magnificent stories.
Stories that extol...
:24:59
sacrifice, bravery.
