08:00Our comrade here tells me that you are one of us.
08:06Is that right?
08:08Yes, comrade Viltogun.
08:12You see, the thing is, I think I recognise you from my childhood.
08:17We were friends.
08:37See how beautiful my future daughter-in-law is, Malaga.
08:40She takes after her mother in beauty.
08:43She's my future daughter-in-law, little Lely.
08:46She's my future daughter-in-law, little Lely.
08:59Your mother gave me this, do you remember?
09:05Stuff like that doesn't happen very often.
09:07How can I forget?
09:10Yes, but on one condition, that is that you use these beautiful memories for the most
09:16honourable thing in life, which is fighting for the rights of labourers, of course.
09:25You see what great youth Cosmomole has raised.
09:28Please.
09:29Yes.
09:30Cheers to everyone.
10:01Hello, everyone.
10:24My father had great things to say about your father.
10:30He used to say he was a great dictator.
10:34A dictator?
10:38Maybe not dictator. Authoritarian.
10:43My father?
10:46I loved Uncle Issam as much as I loved my father.
10:52Unfortunately, he died in the war with the Cossacks.
10:56But he did tell me...
10:58Well, he told me your father fought alongside the Bolsheviks.
11:03Bolsheviks?
11:06Of course, back then they were in Ghilam.
11:09They fought alongside a lot of other revolutionaries.
11:13That's all right. That's enough. Thank you.
11:16Now, allow me to translate for you.
11:18Please allow him to continue.
11:20I understood, and I think Comrade Vertolgan understood as well.
11:24Please continue.
11:25Yes, yes. Continue.
11:35My father was one of Merzakushakan's closest companions.
11:38He worked at the forest newspaper too.
11:42Uncle Issam was our neighbour and my father's close friend.
11:46Well, I was very young back then.
11:48I'm not very familiar with the ideologies.
11:52Yes, that's right.
11:54My father used to say he was an active Bolshevik.
11:57He played a very important role in spreading their ideology.
12:04The forest movement had many different phases.
12:08The reason it was defeated was internal fighting and international collusions.
12:21I think it was more a historical tyranny, you see.
12:28Yes.
12:30It was also the narrow thinking of famous feudal landowners that played their parts as well.
12:50Explain to them what I am trying to do.
12:53Comrade Vertolgan believes that the fascists and Nazis may be able to use public opinion in Iran in their favour
13:01and make them rebel against us.
13:08And so, if you are interested in organising officers and want to fight against them,
13:14we are willing to help you.
13:16We can provide all the aid you need for this operation.
13:28You say that you love your country, right?
13:32Well, if you don't help the working class masses,
13:36the fascists will use the power in organisations they have to destroy them all.
14:03The Redemption of the Forest movement was the direct result of the thinking of Iran,
14:09the famine and the bankruptcy of the reaccipation of liberalism.
14:11of the liberalist ideals of course your country is going through the same thing again today
14:19under such circumstances even the most intelligent citizen can become very anxious
14:27and chase a bunch of hollow ideals and it's the most suitable conditions in which dictators
14:42come to their power is that what you really believe
14:54well yes the hungry masses are formidable tool for building a war machine for the fascists
15:05excuse me by the way you put it i'm slowly beginning to believe that the fascists have
15:08occupied my country tell me exactly what you expect me to do
15:14help us acquaint the masses the proletariat with their rights
15:20let us fight the fascists and the nazis to the bitter end don't you think equality among mankind
15:27in a world without bloodshed and is worth fighting for
15:38well yes but it's not that easy
15:41i'm a soldier taken prisoner my country's been occupied now the ones that have occupied my
15:46country want me to fight alongside them for equality among mankind we weren't at war with anyone
15:53maybe if things were different we would understand you because you are our neighbors but not now
16:03it's a prognitive shee nationalistic chauvinist kee musli
16:07ee romanty chiski myth as nova ideologi fashist
16:12such baseless and empty chauvinistic and of course romantic ideals
16:17are also a part of the fascist ideology these are the tools the bourgeoisie use to explain themselves
16:37so they can enslave the working class and put them against each other
16:46i'm not into politics if i've done anything i've done it for my country
17:03which country
17:05a feudal capitalist country
17:08only has meaning for the feudal lords and greedy capitalists
17:14how much of this country belongs to the ones who die in war on the battlefield
17:23then listen to me brother your generals with their hitler-like mustache
17:30the ones who caused this war are now busy with their dealings with their real occupiers
17:39we did not start this war and we are not in favor of letting it drag on
17:45we know that just like the first world war this war was started by the imperialists to divide up the
17:51world again so we prefer to use our time wisely to enlighten the proletariates
17:59if you are worried about your country you should know that we are not interested in occupying iran soil
18:07so help us fight the cause we want to burn this ancient system of oppression and turn it into ashes
18:14so that they can't rise from the ashes again like the phoenix
