About Grandpa.
1:50:03
Your grandfather did nothing wrong.
1:50:07
That was a very complicated time.
lt's difficult to explain it now.
1:50:16
What time has to do with it?
1:50:22
A lot!
1:50:25
The situation was different.
1:50:28
The question was to be or not to be.
1:50:31
We were surrounded by enemies.
They were fighting against us.
1:50:35
You want to say that we were supposed
to pat the enemies on the back?
1:50:39
But Barateli wasn't an enemy.
1:50:42
He was.
1:50:45
He may have been a good artist,
but he didn't understand many things.
1:50:49
l don't mean to say
that we made no mistakes.
1:50:52
But what is the life of one man when
the happiness of millions is at stake?
1:50:58
We were confronted with great tasks.
1:51:00
One should remember this
and be more broad-minded.
1:51:07
You measured human lives
arithmetically.
1:51:10
The most important thing was
to keep it in proportion, right?
1:51:13
Spare me your irony, smart guy!
1:51:17
You're old enough to know that
for a public servant, public interests
1:51:21
should always be above personal
considerations.
1:51:24
Yes, above personal considerations!
1:51:32
Man is born a human being,
he becomes a public figure later.
1:51:39
You have your head up in the clouds,
but reality is different.
1:51:44
Varlam was always guided by
the interests of society.
1:51:48
But sometimes he had to act
against his will.
1:51:56
And if he were ordered to destroy
the world, would he have done it?
