It portrays the brutal destruction of hundred belarusian villages, perpetraded by the germans, like in Ouradour-sur-Glane, in France. José
Elem Klimov and Larisa Shepitko were married and have made some masterpieces of the cinema.
Already twenty years have passed
Since my two brothers died.
And I – the third – in bitter dreams
Shed tears at their graveside.
I’ve learned from travelling to far
And unfamiliar shores:
All living men third brothers are
Of those who died in war.
Rasul Gamzatov (1923-2003)

Alexander Blok,
The Kite (1916)
Describing circle after circle,
The wheeling kite looks down upon
A dream-like, empty meadow. A mother
Grieves in the cabin for her son:
“Here, suck this breast, here, take this bread.
Grow up, be humble, trust in God.”
The ages pass, endless war rages,
Revolt flares, villages are burned,
But you are still the same, my homeland,
In beauty ancient and tear-stained.
How long must that poor mother cry,
How long the kite wheel in the sky?
Alexander Blok
