dances of the puppets created by ekaterina kostikova director of photography –alexander yefeshkin art director – svetlana smirnova vasya? where are you? therestaurant’s owners came for the shooting an hour and ahalf ago! the boss is hysterical! he says that he’ll fire you tomorrow. we’ve already given them coffee, cookiesand a left leg covered in sugar! what do you think if…?

later! look, they havebeen waiting for you for an hour and a half! you know what? i’m sick and tired of covering for you! you shall at least answer yourphone! i couldn’t reach you! i’m sorry. i owe you a dinner.i’m sorry, i was busy. by the way… about that physicist… do you know how he died?just liked lena described in her book. yes! there is somethingweird going on with her books. bye, borya! see you!

valya, how are you? god, why did you go somewhere? what for? what did you want to see atthat exhibition? moreover, you confused the dates.it will only open tomorrow. i wanted to see my daughter.i thought that she would be there. i see. i thought so!why did you go alone? you should have taken lia with you! or you could have told methat you wanted to go to that exhibition! i was afraid that you’d get mad.

valya! you can’t be sosilly, valya, you can’t! martha, forgive me.i took your overcoat. stop it! i wanted to have a decent look. what does the overcoathave to do with it? it got dirty when i fell. this is not important!nothing to worry about! martha… i miss my daughterso much… i miss her so… i know, valya. i know it.

martha, that girl… yulia… she looks like my kristina, isn’t she? i don’t know. i didn’t notice. you shall take care of her… don’t worry. nobody is going to leavethat little fool without help. why are you talking like at thefunerals? stop burying yourself! you won’t get rid of me so easily!do you know what the doctor said? he said that you’d jump like ayoung antelope in just two weeks!

as soon as they discharge you,i’ll take you to france. we’ll drink bordeaux andlie in chaise longues. you’re incorrigible, martha.you’re still a commander. you make decisions, you make plans… how else can i act? of course! you’d die but for my plans and commands. look, i left you just fortwo hours, and what happened? here you go! you’re at the hospital! i don’t understand how you could fall.

i wasn’t me… not you? who was it?am i talking to a ghost? somebody pushed me. martha rudolfovna? is everything ok? we shall call the police urgently. serezha, calm down. calm down! i’m calling the prosecutor’s office…before we’ll shot down. serega, we shall not call anybody! brilliant! great! clever boy!shall we go to timbuktu,

hide in the bamboo and wait for togoyevto forget about us? great! brilliant! in acacia. what? there is no bamboo in mali.there is a desert there, serezha. thank you! look, don’t panic. if theyhad wanted to kill you, they would have done it long ago.they just warned us. they demonstrated that if we come out, next time they’ll shoot not atthe wall but to kill. thank you.

what shit are you eating, serezha? these are the chips.i experienced stress. chips relieve stress best of all. that bastard togoyev did make me angry. they shot at you, you’reeating these chips, and i spent a night in a detentioncell in yuryev. is that ok? togoyev has nothing to do with it.the police of yuryev detained you. whom were they covering?what do you think? what did they need it for?

serezha, switch your brain on! they didn’t want me to findunnecessary information. like the fact that the wife anddaughter of the future deputy togoyev were the patientsof the mental hospital. that he didn’t give them any money, and the mother had towork as a dishwasher to support her daughter. one may see that she jumped out of thewindow not because she was happy. yes, serezha! i’m surethat it wasn’t a suicide.

togoyev didn’t want thisinformation to surface. this is why the policedetained me. can you imagine, they even opened a caseagainst me. and then… they got a call frommoscow and released me! do you think it wastogoyev who called them? who else could it be, serezha?somebody from the kremlin? some secret good-wisher? yes. nobody else could do it. i’m also sure that yuliadidn’t go to yuryev,

and that togoyev knew it.if she went there, his people would report to him at once. as soon as i dug a bitdeeper, they sent me back to moocow at once, to go onlooking for his daughter here. as soon as we found her, they showed us: “if you don’t mind our ownbusiness, you’re… dead!” this is how it is. makar, wait. what if togoyev goes crazy on the eve of the elections anddecides to simply get rid of us?

this is possible. well… we shall do something! serezha, calm down! don’tpanic! serezha, don’t panic! listen to me, serezha. we shallfind compromising materials about togoyev. everybody hashis own skeleton in the wardrobe. i think ravens are flyingabove togoyev’s wardrobe… look, this is funny, isn’t it? what is funny? we were following thetrail of togoyev’s daughter…

yes. she is not a silly girl. she issitting in moscow with her auntie and doesn’t worry that herfather’s bandits will come and shoot her or send herto the mental hospital. why, what do you think? it means that when sakharovalived with her father... yes! …she found some compromisingmaterials about him! good for you, serezha!this is what happened!

we shall get to knowwhat materials there were. i believe that thisinformation is very important. who is that? go! yes? hello? this is me. yes, daughter. i’m glad that you called. i want you to leave me in peace. otherwise i’ll spoil your life.i can do it, you know.

don’t worry, don’t worry.let’s meet and talk like normal people… we’renot strangers, after all. you may do something silly… i’ll never do anything silly. yulia, your idea with the aunt is silly. you may get into an unpleasant situationand involve me. what do you need it for? i just need the money.i want to start a new life. i’ll be able to do itafter konetskaya’s death. you may do it right now.i’ll give you the money.

in exchange of what? you know it yourself. and then i’ll be found in somemanhole with a bullet in my head. no, no, yulia… i can guarantee… look, if you worry thati may fail – ask your guys to get rid of konetskaya.i’ll consider us even then. you love giving orders to people. you can’t do it with me,though. i’m not your puppet, do you understand? i wrote aletter to the prosecutor’s office

just in case. if i disappear,fall from a balcony or get run over by a car,the letter will be sent. all right. i’ll think it over.i’ll think it over. do you hear me? do you hear? serega, did you find it? yes. wait! don’t interferewith me, makar! one second. one second… oh! no, no! here you go! i see! his business has criminal roots… this is not a surprise, serega!

our country is like that.this is in our traditions! right… he used to gointo boxing in his youth… i can see why his nose is broken. not just the nose, makar.he has a problem with his head too. this is not a surprise either. makar, he got scalped in the army. i don’t know the details. it is somehow connectedwith the discipline… listen. he pressed onthe juniors too much,

they came to an agreement,hit togoyev on his head and scalped him. this is not what weare looking for, serega… well… his skin wastransplanted a few times. when he got the money, he wentfor a treatment to switzerland. it is said here that he used tobe a bit out of his mind before but got considerablyworse after the army. this is clear. do youhave anything else? one second… he was involvedin the raiders’ activities. his competitors were shotin the crowded street,

in the broad daylight.the shooters weren’t found, of course. i see. well… what a bastardy! serega? yes? why did he hire us? what do you think? did he just open the directory and call the first best number?i don’t think so. maybe somebody recommended us to him. this is it, serezha. some close person. this case is rather delicate.we shall find this person.

i think he’ll be able to tell usa lot of interesting things about togoyev. what is it? this is from yuryev,from the mental hospital. i tore some pages from yuliasakharova’s medical file. give them to me.“teenage aggressiveness. uncontrollable actions”...when she was 12, she stabbed o.i.savitskayawith a knife 16 times. the girl is her neighbor.i saw her. she lacks an eye and has a scar acrossher face. i don’t get it.

i think we shall show these papers to the guys from forensicpsychiatry department. girl, you don’t seem to understand me. your mother in in the hospital,her state is grave, the doctors don’t guarantee anything.she wants to see her. you shall forget abouteverything and go to her. martha, dear! i can’t!martha, i’ll come as soon as i have an opportunity.but please understand. i am busy. my husband and i are leaving forst.-petersburg in the evening.

he has an important meetingthere and i must go with him. explain that to my mother, martha! i won’t explain anything to your mother. let it be on your own conscience! i can’t talk anymore! bye! what a bitch! martha rudolfovna!you asked for the tea. yes. thank you. no, you do likeher indeed. you’re very alike. who?

you and valentina’s daughter. i hope your resemblanceis only external. does valentina zakharovnahave a daughter? i beg your pardon. i’ve never… you’ve never seen her, haveyou? you will be surprised, but she lives infive-minute drive from here. did they quarrel? they didn’t. however,valya’s daughter is a person with a shallow soul. it mayonly keep feelings to one person.

that person is her husband. there is no room for her mother there. last time they saw eachother two years ago. it can’t be! really? i don’t think yousee your mother often either. my mum died five years ago. i’m sorry. what about your father? i’ll tell you about my father.but not now, ok?

it means you escaped from him. i don’t know what happened between you. this is not important.another thing is, thought. i’d like to see what willhappen if something happens in valentina’s daughter’s life. for example, her husband mightmeet another woman. i’m sure that she’ll run toher mother for consolations, because she can’t live on her own. hello?

martha rudolfovna,this is lena dubrovina. i’d like to meet with you once more. i was thinking after our meeting… i have an idea of a new novel now… i’m sorry but i doubt that i’llhave time in the nearest future. an accident happened. my friendwas pushed down at the stairs, so i’m not in the moodfor the interviews now. hello? hello? everything is like in my book. again!

meshkov? meshkov doesn’t work here anymore. it’s a pity. it wasinteresting to talk to him. he told me about the alkhatekin… akhaltekin. the akhaltekin horses.what happened to him? do you know what people say?there are no former alcoholics. he used to drink, didn’t he? he started drinking whenhe left the big sport.

he stopped it later and becamea trainer; he opened a school. i think he wouldn’t startdrinking again but for greta. of course. everything that happens,happens because of the women. yes. however, greta was a horse. really? yes. meshkov was in love with her. what happened? a fire.

it was his favorite horse.he hoped to save her from the fire but it made no sense.everything was already burnt. we barely pulled him away. meshkov started drinkingagain after that. he spent two days ina row in the stables with greta’s saddle by his side.he was drinking and crying. after that, as the guardsaid, he saddled buran and rode into the forest. some time passed before the guards called us and we came.

buran returned to the stables alone. we found meshkov in the ravine.he was still alive, but his spine was broken. we didn’t manageto bring him to the hospital. i’m going. lena? are you home? i thought that you went to the interview. i’ll show you, vasya… “reschedule the meeting forthursday. call konetskaya”. lena, i have a surprisefor you! a surprise! breathe! thanks god!

it’s nice, isn’t it?it suits you so well! i’m sorry, mum. i scared you.i wanted to clean up. i must have breathed in too much dust. what if i came back two hours later?you’re like your father! he used to think onlyabout himself as well… i promise — no more cleanings-up!and no work in the evenings! let’s better think wherewe will go on the weekend. you were going to visit ourmodel during the weekend. the meeting is cancelled.an accident happened.

her friend is at the hospital. she fell down from thestairs and is seriously hurt. her friend? yes, her friend. yes. you said that theylived together. her friend… ‒‚ makar?‒‚ yes. i talked to the guys who areworking on murasheva’s case. who is murasheva? konetskaya’s friend. judgingfrom the circumstances,

she was pushed at the stairs. the killer confused her withkonetskaya. i hinted the guys on the boy whom yuliaordered to kill konetskaya. serezha, do you realizewhat you’ve done? do you realize that you set yourself up? your guys will arrest thatboy. he’ll point to yulia. togoyev’s people will behere in a hour and shoot us! do you have brains at all? right! let him kill konetskaya!

you don’t understand… martha rudolfovna, how muchlonger shall i stand like this? go on. don’t idle! straighten up! mind, you need physical exercises. right… to keep the muscles in form. top keep the head in form.physical exercise discipline. all women dream of beingbeautiful to meet their prince. this is nonsense! didn’t you dream about it?

i didn’t have time for that. remember, it is natural for awoman to want to be beautiful! if a woman says that shedoesn’t want to be beautiful, she is lying. if she reallydoesn’t want to be beautiful, it means that she is a dressed-up man. this is it, you may stand up. walk, please. this is very bad. where is your ass? this is what a woman mustto have if she wants men

to pay attention to her! if you’re a women,you shall have an ass! where can i take it, if i lack it? the entire fashion industry is working to give all women right asses.did you notice? if you buy pants, thereare pockets on the back. if you buy a skirt, it islike a bell around your hips. if you buy a dress, it shallunderline all your merits and hide what doesn’t look nice.well… the breast.

the breast shall look naturally.no push-ups, they are vulgar. you shall use what you have from nature. do you understand? so remember —we underline the ass, we don’t hide the tits,we choose feminine clothes and pay attention to the straight back. what did you choose?oh, god! what is it? i thought that it was practical. forget about that for good, girl! a woman can only become a womanwhen she allows for excess.

do you get it? this is too dark… and this one is nice. i’ll look like a flower bed in it. put it on and don’t talkabout what you’ll look like. go, go! come on! this is better. walk. now you have to learn how to wear it. the heels too… straighten your knees. bear your back straight,raise your head. this is it.

you shall walk with ease. as if you’re naked andyou like it. let me see… it is beautiful. it’s nice. mum got lucky. she didn’thurt herself when she fell. she had a split second toposition herself between the rails. she had a stroke at night, though. the doctors said that itwas a result of the stress. how is your mum now? is she feeling ok?

she is… to the extent it is possible. i’d like to talk to her…maybe make some photos. mum has been living in thesosnovka for about three years. it is a sanatorium for oldpeople in 50 km from moscow. this is not a problem. i may go there. her speech restored after the stroke but she doesn’t recognizeanybody and wears pampers… i don’t think that she makes agood heroine for the magazine. roma mansurov doesn’t paint anythingexcept for so called abstractions.

however, women are attractedby his status of an artist. he is an expert in women. long agomansurov fell in love with one girl. he gave her a real sea of red roses,like in a song. can you imagine? she went out to the balconyand saw the entire yard covered with roses. mansurovwas standing amidst the flowers. what about the girl? what did she do? what did she do? she fell in his arms. in a figurative sense, of course,not from the balcony. nobody can refuse infatuated mansurov.

i read all lena’s books, analyzedthem and made notes. look. the she-wolf’s den”.the main hero is a fencer. she died in a car accidentbecause she was driving under the effect ofsleeping pills. read! sophia veresayeva,the champion of russia in fencing among juniors.she died in a car accident. traces of sleeping pillswere found in her blood. next — the formerstar of the pentathlon. he rode the horse drunk,fell down and broke his spine.

now — our beloved physicist.he got distracted and fell into a manhole thatwas open for some reason. this is impossible, vasya.ok, what about at attempt on the minister’s life?from the “she-wolf’s den”. his car was blown up. do youhave something about the minister? i don’t. thank you. i have nina vasilyevnaferapontova, though. i talked to her daughter.

there is story in oneof lena’s early novels where a nephew pushed hisold aunt under the train. ferapontova is a prototype of that aunt. she is the only person who survived. she lives in the old people’s home now.i’ll go there tomorrow and talk to her. you shall stop doing it, vasya.those one hundred thousand … thank you. you’ll earn itin your studio in a week if you don’t idle. even ifeverything is like you’re saying — why get involved in such shit?

don’t you understand, borya?the heroes die in her books and the prototypes die in real life. lena got to know aboutit and stopped writing. she cancelled her contractwith the publishing house when she got to knowthat our physicist died. wait. the novel wasn’t published. even if there is a psychopathwho reads her novels and commits real crimes, how did he get to knowabout the physicist?

well, well… what has been done is done. some time will pass beforeyour guys find that boy and before thatinformation reaches togoyev. how much time do we have? just a little. exactly. that’s why we shall work fast.what variants do we have? wait, wait. you asked me tofind a person who recommended us. do you remember sviridov? i do. we were looking for his son.

right. he gave out number to kostyawho used to work as togoyev’s bodyguard. kostya? are you at place?yes. yes. we’ll come soon, come on! yes. it concerns our conversation. can you imagine? yougo out to the balcony and see roses everywhere!i wish i stood up one morning and saw such beauty… and an artist standingthere in an overcoat… yes. he is singing a serenade…

with a beautiful baritone descant.while the neighbors throw rotten eggs at him for hedoesn’t let them sleep at night. why the serenade? he iskeeping silent. can you imagine, i go downstairs to him andhe gives a white rise to me. i bury my face in theflower and close my eyes. yulia? is your rose aslarge as a soup plate? is your rose magic? how canyou bury your face in it? stop it! do you knowwhat konetskaya told me? i know. long ago mansurovemptied some moscow greenhouse

to impress one good-looking girl.i think it’d be better if he bought dill, cauliflowerand potatoes for the winter. it’d bring more use. she said that the girl hefell for looked like me. can you imagine? she looked like me! well, yes… ‒‚ i gave your card to the boss…‒‚ to the boss? to the head of togoyev’s security service.there were some problems with his wife. he wanted somebody to watch her…

look, kostya, did you work with togoyevwhen he brought his daughter? no, i left in november.i met my former boss in winter. we drank a bit and talked.he told me that togoyev went to yuryev andbrought a girl from there. the boys didn’t know thathe had a daughter in yuryev. they wondered why hebrought her home at all. they thought that it hadbeen better to leave her there or send somewhere far away…to london, for example. why? were there anyproblems with his daughter?

there were a lot. theboss got almost fired twice because of her. she got into a caraccident in her father’s mercedes once. the boss got almostkilled the second time. why? did she take daddy’s bentley? no. she broke into his office.when togoyev got to know that she was rummagingin his office he went mad. he was shouting, jumpingat the walls, took a knife saying that he’d personallycut everybody’s throats… when did it happen?

do you remember? it was before the eighth of march. yes. the boss came to congratulatethe girls, we drank a bit, i asked him how the thingswere going and he told me about that. he wasshivering when talking to me. i believe that she goton his nerves a lot. i see. thank you. good-bye. drop it! thanks!

togoyev’s daughter disappearedright before the eighth of march. yes, yes. all right, let’s go. my friends! i’m very happy tosee all of you in this hall! my close friends are here!and some new faces, what is even more pleasant!this exhibition is my heart, my soul and my thoughts. look and enjoy! you may buy a painting and… of course, treat yourself to good wineand food. you’re welcome!

keep your back straight.don’t look as if at the funerals. smile, smile as i taught you. vikulya! my honey!i’m so glad to see you! don’t stare, or people willthink that you have toxic goiter. do you see a girl in red behind me? she looks like a curedherring, doesn’t she? martha, god! roma! hi, honey! you’re like always…you look incredible!

your exhibition isincredible, as always. let me present my grandnieceto you. this is yulia. did you keep this beautyfrom me for so many years? martha! one second! don’t stand still,treasure! smile, smile! i like this paintingvery much. may i buy it? this one is very expensive.you may take this one. i’ll give it to you as a present. thank you, maestro!

i’d start working on dinner.if the soup isn’t ready to take to the hospital for valentina, martha will turn you intoa mouse. or into a pumpkin. roma! are you really goingto paint her portrait? i haven’t decided yet. i’d like to be presentduring your seances. kris! you know well that i don’twork in strangers’ presence. strangers? look, you know what i’m talking about!

roma, i don’t understandwhat you’re taking about! i don’t know what is going on! look, are you jealous?you’re crazy! great! this is funny! ‒‚ funny?‒‚ yes! do you know what is funny? a grey beard but a lustyheart — this is what is funny! you’re just going for theyoung meat as if…i don’t know... how? how am i going for the young meat?like a dog? like a hog? roma, forgive me! please!i was just nervous!
