55 градусов ниже нуля, 55 gradusov nizhe nulya

 Those are from the film called 55 градусов ниже нуля, 55 gradusov nizhe nulya (Soviet Union 1986)

1. Spanking Dialogues and References: In the family conversation the mother says roughly: “There's nobody to spank you and Dimka. Spank you and not let you cry.” It is a complaint that no one is left to physically raise the now-adult children.

Lena is arguing with her parents that her marriage to Georgiy will no longer improve and that she has decided to go her own way. Her mom are trying to persuade her to make an effort and somehow settle things (their son is already 12 years old, “it should have settled by now”). Lena insists that it will not settle.

She is expressing that Lena (and also the younger son Dimka) are behaving stubbornly, egoistically and disobediently even as adults.

In the past, such behaviour (obstinacy, divorce-minded attitudes, independent decisions against the family’s wishes) would have been corrected by physical punishment.

It is not a reaction to any specific current misdeed (for example, Lena having just done something wrong), but rather the mother’s overall dissatisfaction with the way her two children (Lena and Dimka) live and make decisions — and a longing for the old style of upbringing.

2. Dad, Ivan Petrovich Kuznetsov (played by Pyotr Velyaminov) M/F daughter Lena Kuznetsova (played by Yelena Yelanskaya), hint of a belt striking on her bum, position of bent over, in the presence of her mom, no actually spanking.

The daughter brings a belt to her father, places it in his hand, bends over, and encourages him to whip her bottom with the belt. However, the father hesitates to use the strap because his daughter Lena is already a grown-up.

It is New Year’s Eve and the Kuznetsov family is gathered. Daughter Lena Kuznetsova is divorcing her husband Georgiy. She argues with her parents that she no longer wants the strong role and instead wants to be a weak woman who can lean on a man’s shoulder and live behind a stone wall. She claims she doesn’t see such men.

Father Ivan Petrovich Kuznetsov replies: “If I were in Georgiy’s place, you know, I’d take the belt.”

Lena hands him the belt and says: "Here, take this belt. Here, hit me, hit me! Maybe I'll feel better."

The scene highlights generational conflict, differing views on marriage and upbringing, and family tension on New Year’s Eve.

In the father’s view Lena is too stubborn and egoistic, rejects traditional roles, and is divorcing. He frames this as something a strong man should correct with the belt.
