Nothing on-screen, but the lyrics include this stanza about a (wholly hypothetical) future husband:

You heard he has a temper.
He'll beat you every night,
But only when he's sober,
So you'll all right.

There is a brief scene where Russian soldiers on horses rush at a crowd of people to get them to disperse. Some people are knocked down by the horses or other people. It is not explicit whether anyone in the scene dies.
