Do not Shoot at White Swans (Russian: Не стреляйте в белых лебедей, romanized: Ne strelyayte v belykh lebedey) is a 1980 Soviet drama film in two parts by the director Rodion Nakhapetov, based on the novel of the same name by Boris Vasilyev.

The villagers, including his wife, nickname him as the "Harbinger of Woes" - for all for what he undertakes, any work or business ends in disaster.

After a long search, Polushkin finally finds his calling - he gets a job as a gamekeeper.

White swans become Yegor's only friends, of which he takes care of with utmost tenderness.

But one day his luck ends: to the forest come poachers who without hesitation kill the tame swans.
