we will appeal to the appropriate
organs!

A group of artists.''
1:09:11
And this letter was the reason
for Barateli's arrest?
1:09:19
l'm asking you.
1:09:21
You arrested him because of that
rubbish, that filth?
1:09:27
The nation's real enemies are those
who wrote this.
1:09:35
They simply ran amok.
lt's outrageous!
1:09:41
Barateli is my friend.
1:09:44
Moreover, he is my pupil,
and l'm proud of him.
1:09:48
You mean to say that my friend...
1:09:52
and my pupil is an enemy?
1:09:58
l understand, but this is not
an argument for the letter's authors.
1:10:03
Maybe the artist's talent isn't
a strong argument for them either?
1:10:08
They have in mind his stand.
1:10:12
What are you talking about? Talent is
kindness, and that's already a stand!
1:10:17
l understand that Sandro Barateli
is your friend and pupil.
1:10:21
By the way, do you know
that he's my relative?
1:10:30
No... l didn't know that.
1:10:35
Even a close relative.
1:10:38
Write a protest,
esteemed Mikhail.
1:10:41
Barateli is arrested, but he's not
convicted.
1:10:44
l was just executing the people's will,
masses stand behind that letter.
1:10:50
And each word coming from the masses
is the holy of holies for me.
1:10:53
Write a protest,
esteemed Mikhail.
1:10:56
To write a protest?
1:10:57
Yes, l have nothing against it.
