shared, i immediately got the idea to write him, in the image of dionysus. gerard deparde demonstrated russian scope and generosity in st. petersburg several years ago. his portrait, painted by dasha fursey, is kept in france in a castle, in the artist’s workshop on tchaikovsky street, an unusual autograph of the winemaker made with wine, hand and foot prints, screen stars. the reverent attitude of the residents of the bar capital of russia to alcohol has been written and spoken about, but here they also know how to appreciate unopened bottles. my great-grandfather, who had already left the family quite a long time ago, he was visiting his daughter, my grandmother, and he brought two bottles of champagne, he and my grandmother drank one, and he said, i want to live to be 100 years old, he was 75 or 76 years old.

him to a trolleybus stop and there his heart stopped, in general, he died at this stop, and my grandmother kept this bottle, such a memento sea, some reminder that making plans is such a precipitate activity. in different and almost always difficult times, people here knew how to eat and pray, and certainly love; maybe not everyone was able to do both equally easily and third, but if it worked, then for real. here on the spit of vasilyevsky island you feel the taste of the holiday especially vividly. we experimented well with fairy-tale kisses, used the menu as a palette and made sure that st. petersburg taste can look and even sound picturesque. my sixth sense tells me that for completeness.

well, pushkin, we’ve arrived , it’s dark, it’s good that it’s dark, no one will see, and most importantly no one will hear, shout, don’t shout, come out, come on, alexander pavlovich, well, this is a misunderstanding, i can explain everything , not piss me off, pushkin, take a shovel. dig , otherwise i’ll ruin it, that’s it, i got up, i can’t take it anymore , but what did you want, pushkin, i explained in russian, if you dig a shallow hole, the animal will be examined under a microscope, you and i need this, but i don’t know, okay, get out, god. it’s hard,

it happened to us once, after all, a tashkeshnik was burying himself in the forest, accidentally dropped his mobile phones, the next day the fishmongers are walking, and from underground the mobile phone is calling, guess what, right? nothing funny! within a day the newbie was wearing the bracelet. alexandrovich, what an interesting story, let’s go home, i’ll write it down on the computer. what computer? come here, this is a box, it won't work for you. what is this? where is the wife? what are you, an idiot? i really thought that... i brought you here to bury angelica, am i crazy? i , the writer, wanted to show you clearly that burying a corpse in the forest, this is not a walk before going to bed, otherwise you will write like in your last book that 20 people were buried there by the bobskys during the night, then all the lads will

laugh about angelica, are you an unfinished casanova, you really thought that she was you were seduced, you saw yourself in the mirror, they would have checked you for lice. give me your hand, come on, get out already, it would be better if i wrote children’s books, but no, come on now, i can’t get past the ground. go here, yeah, yeah, left, come on!

yakhluba, it’s a matter of principle, today he’s on me went to war, tomorrow others will know about it, and they will also send you to hell, authority, vanya, is hard to gain. but it's easy to lose, understand? i understand, but you don’t understand a damn thing, so maybe it’s like the good old operational interrogation? let's throw him a gun or 100 , 150 grams of drugs, no, well, you're really a fool, over there in moscow the scribblers planted one on him, and away we go, resignation after resignation, resignation after resignation, but there was a journalist, and here is a former exchanger, who also served time, no one can harness him for him it won’t, it won’t, it won’t, grandma natra said it, he’ll get up anyway, we’ll sort it out with tarasov, i have... a couple thoughts on how

why are there so many flaws in the so-called creations, who are you hinting at, these are the flaws i have.” i’m abstract. , abstractly, just think for yourself, if god exists, why doesn’t anyone see him, you see handcuffs in my hands, no, i have them, yes, you are a boring person, nikita egorovich, dry and callous, yes, i understand, i understand , i understand, we won’t be able to have a dispute today. yes, ashilov, no i expected from you. what have you turned the city into? if a general of the secret service has his car stolen in the center of the city in broad daylight. what can we say about ordinary people, what can we say about them, evgeniy petrovich, as they say, we would have their problems, would we

go crazy, what? allow me, yes, i’m a purely friendly comrade, an investigator , if you do this again, i’ll open a case, you’re already exciting me, without any business, idiot, okay, nasten, don’t be offended, you’d better say that you’ve arrived, it’s not your jurisdiction, they told me to come , i have arrived, well, well, you better tell me what can you say, you didn’t have anything valuable in your car, well, god forbid, of course, maybe some secret documents, are you crazy? spit, sorry, ivan ivanovich , i didn’t notice, that’s what i’ll tell you, colleagues,

spitting won’t help the matter, which means that by my order i am transferring the case to the investigative committee, but why, we can’t handle it ourselves, for the sake of an optimal investigation mode or objectivity, don't trust who you, who? yes, the whole city knows that before the general’s epaulettes and the racers you protected the racers, you say, that’s not true, these are all evil tongues, ivan ivanovich , envious people, insinuation, that’s it, of course , tongues, we know, that’s what borya, do what you want, but for my car to be there, i’ll give you a day, you won’t find it, i’ll be offended, you you don’t want to quarrel with me, right? that’s right, well, let’s not interfere with our dubrest police

, i have businessmen, but there ’s a committee investigator who came, she’ll probably want to ask you a couple of questions later, niki, you yourself are all you think about this, but i’m nastasya ivanovna by position i'm not supposed to think i'm waiting for instructions from you, okay, don't start. he couldn’t help but know whose car it was, so you start to delve into it, and if he knew, then he couldn’t help but understand what kind of noise would start in the city after the theft, and you shavyrin is not hopeless, there

are two options: either the thief is very stupid, or very smart, i’m afraid of the second one, and how can we look for it? well, it’s me who is waiting for the version of the instructions from you, comrade investigator, dunce, fumes in... business, the garters should have stayed, in which one? well, he had a zherakes walking under him, he had a whole team for automobile matters, they were heliks, mayors, they drove to chechnya, ingushetia, you couldn’t tell me anything now, what are you suggesting to me, go to garin to bow and fall on my knees in front of him, idiot, it’s my fault, especially since he jumped off this topic a long time ago, and zhenya erakes is in the zone for hepatitis. died, oh, no , well, you have to, oh, and how well the day started, and such a setup,

it’s impossible to quarrel with nikozimov, then there’s only one option left, shake the elephant , the elephant, well, remind me, from tambov, he has a network of auto repair shops in the city, and the car was supposed to be scrapped somewhere anyway put, it means i understood correctly, you came to the club for training as usual, and after 1 hour 17 minutes... you discovered that the car was gone, that’s right, you train here every day, that’s right, lieutenant, you’ve recently done mediocre work, you need to do something else now, and not figure out my training schedule, the car has a new alarm system, the geolocation system should show where it is, did your employees really ignore this point, they didn’t, but apparently they used some kind of cunning equipment, didn’t the satellites can determine where the car is, but they don’t see it, you see. yes, it is absolutely clear that the data leak came from a car dealership, there are simply no other options, we will work out this version, by the way, the car is quite

expensive. and what does this have to do with it? where did you get the funds to purchase it? are you seriously asking? please answer the investigator's question? this car is a gift from my son, he is a successful businessman and can afford such a purchase. amazing what? i’ve never heard that, for example, janitors have children were successful businessmen, but for some reason every second one was among the generals. what the... are you like this today, oh, my god, the holidays are over, such an information bomb has rolled up, such an insight, the meeting place is returning, batman is returning to his place, i’m fanning the flames a little, this annoys everyone, here we go, listen,

do n’t to provoke me here. well listen, the shipment will arrive tomorrow, the goods will be in boxes with cell phones, i’ll provide you with documents, you get into the truck and drive it to another warehouse, but what the goods, morkota, you care. “i

’m paying you 100,000 bucks for one trip, even if you buy yourself a normal car, i care, you know, lyosha, i don’t want to go back to the zone, with your truck with drugs i’ll spend the rest of my life on a bunk, you won’t spend it with me it’s not in vain that the engineer pushed me, my circuits, as they worked before, will work now”? engineer, by the way, you called me, remember, i remember everything, lyosha, i didn’t forget anything, i remembered, if you see this hijacker, call me right away, what’s wrong, there’s no face, portrait where, where, where? petrovich, well, if

the matter was trivial, i would not have contacted you, you are someone who is especially valuable, a secret employee, right, right, that means there is no price for me, that’s exactly why you won’t get money today, they could it would be easier to explain, they are in such an ultimatum form, for example, for example, so and... so , petrovich, i have problems, i will owe you, well, let's say, 5,000, i will give you as soon as i can, the number, signature, blood print , that's it, that is, you haven't done anything yet, and i've already i should, because this is the basis of operational-search activity, i ’m telling you this as a former intelligence officer, and what they teach you in the academies, what kind of intelligence officer, you told me last time, that you are a physicist, a nuclear scientist,

that’s your first education. and then i graduated from the kgb school in minsk. didn't i tell this story? nikita egorovich, yes, for such a story, 150 vodka is not a crime. story. there is no time, there is no trial. petrovich, yes, you were frankly unlucky with your case. why? just think about it, tell me, look, you’re in the department i just haven’t gained enough experience yet , but the material was written out for you, is it really not clear why, i don’t know, but understand that such cars are not stolen just like that, it’s a hundred percent stupid, if they find it completely, none of

your senior comrades will be held responsible he doesn’t want to take you, what’s the demand from you, you’re young, inexperienced, so what should i do? well , what to do, what to advise here? hey, in 2 months you must either find the car or stop the search. no, you can, of course, extend it, but that’s the will of the management. a now, listen to me carefully, remember. so that there are no questions for you, everyone is involved. should be properly filed and numbered according to the inventory, yeah, there should be more pieces of paper in the file, well, so many that it won’t fit in the safe, and it’s better not just one volume, not just one, but again, you understand that in

these 2 months you have to ask not only every janitor in the area, but every grandmother at the entrance, every dog ​​owner, including his dog, for spirals, but why? because in this case you did your job well, yeah how well did i do it, if i didn’t find the car, well, these are already force majeure circumstances, thank you, dad, for the invaluable advice, but don’t ask for anything, my father won’t give bad advice, boss, i ’m explaining to you once again, i i got off this topic a long time ago, cars, let every pony race, but i’m an authoritative person, you’re not supposed to engage according to your status, you’re not supposed to speak according to your status, and you know how much a car like that costs, look, it’s not a penny for you to build,

well, yeah, cool car, complete stuffing, i'm 2 months old i bought the same one for my wife back, and even the interior is the same, the same color, and even the wheels are the same, tell me it makes sense to steal it, i didn’t buy it, that ’s a thought, your wife, where in shargand, you give it to me here and she goes to her mother i went to my mother-in-law, i mean, her mother, i decided everything, yeah. you’ll go to zhensel and pick up the car from her, i understand, wait, i haven’t said everything yet, you’ll drive it to the service station, yeah, and you’ll kill what needs to be interrupted there, and you’ll get the numbers from our traffic cops, that’s right, and so that no later

than tomorrow general nikodimov had the car, so it’s not his car, it’s her now it’s not his, but tomorrow it will be his, but what’s not clear? or should i explain it to you again? yes, no, whatever you say, you did it. well, i can’t quarrel with general nikodimov, under any circumstances. let them choke on this car and calm down. by the way, more news has arrived, but garin’s wiretapping worked, he is driving a load of drugs to st. petersburg under the guise of mobile phones. what are you talking about, now this is interesting. a truck, a printout of conversations on your desk in your office, that’s it, garin got caught, we’ll catch him red-handed and seal him up
