PASSPORT
for troupe "Red Harlequin"
"OUR ENEMY BRINGS SLAVERY,
HUNGER AND DEATH"
Well, comrades, let's go.
Throw the stick away.
All aboard!
In the village.
Ask your commissar!
She's been charmed by the commissar,
and you're sick of love with her!
Citizens, organize the
entry to the village!
In fact, you are the
chief, you organize it!
You?
You have nationalized it.
You cure it!
I'll do it.
You are sick, and you
have the right to rest.
Citizens, where are you?
Citizens, the show begins now!
Scam, he doesn't know how!
Here we go!
Let me shake your hand,
as an artist - to an artist.
From village to village, the
wagon "RED HARLEQUIN" traveled,
giving their agit-presentation.
"RED HARLEQUIN" traveling troupe
revolutionary agit-pantomime circus
Inexhaustible energy of
Kurapov has fascinated Masha
and she is increasingly
moving away from Serge.
What are you doing?
Modifying our number?
You are a fine person, Masha.
Well, friends, no big deal!
They should get married.
That evening...
CAPITAL
THE WORLD BOURGEOISIE
If anything happens,
I'll kill you and him.
Comrades, the bourgeoisie
and its mercenaries...
Which one of you is a commissar?
We... are stunned with joy...
... the commissar... ran away!
Bondarchuk!
...interrogate this mob!
The night has passed.
Stand up! Why are you seating!?
Bolshevik?
An actress, mister officer.
Actually... We are a COLLECTIVE of
simple people, out side of revolution.
And your wagon with Bolshevik's
slogan painted on, you bastard!
I've got an idea, gentlemen!
Let's arrange a show!
In honor of the arrival
of the regimental staff!
It will be arranged on the tank!
Did you hear? Prepare the show!
We'll have some fun, beauty!
You, Masha, be on guard here...
So, even here you want to agitate!?
You think that we are tired of living!
Die alone, if you wish!
Help us to hide the literature.
Betrayer! Satisfied now!?
It wasn't me! I did not betray!
Go back!
It's forbidden to leave the village!
Tell Masha... I'll make my way to the
Reds... rescue all... trust me...
"FOR GREAT UNDIVIDED RUSSIA"
So, a pantomime
"saving Russia" begins now.
They shot the commissar...
Cleverly arranged,
I'm also a mechanic, I understand.
Enough, "Russia" come on!
Give us "Russia", you son of a bitch!
A moment of patience, gentlemen,
Russia's changing her dress!
THE LAST ATTRACTION OF THE TRAVELING
TROUPE "RED HARLEQUIN" HAS ENDED.
Well, we have to go, Masha.
No, I'll go with them.
Aren't you with us?
