Quotes1

  • Soldier: You have to come with me.
  • Old Woman Babushka: Why?
  • Soldier: Because they told me, so now I'm telling you. Everyone in this village, everyone. It's not safe here. There's radiation in the air. What's wrong with you?
  • Old Woman Babushka: Do you know how old I am?
  • Soldier: I don't know. Old.
  • Old Woman Babushka: I'm 82. I've lived here my whole life. Right here, that house, this place. What do I care about safe?
  • Soldier: I have a job. Don't cause trouble.
  • Old Woman Babushka: Trouble? You're not the first soldier to stand here with a gun. When I was 12, the revolution came - czar's men, then bolsheviks, boys like you marching in lines - they told us to leave. No. Then there was Stalin and his famine, the Holodomor - my parents died, two of my sisters died - they told the rest of us to leave. No. Then the Great War - German boys, Russian boys, more soldiers, more famine, more bodies - my brothers never came home, but I stayed, and I'm still here. After all that I have seen... so I should leave now, because of something I cannot see at all? No.
