it was a decision of a very serious purge in the world, well, i will simply list some of his appointments: peselyov went to paris, borunov to berlin, khriptovich to london, balabin to vienna, butinev to constantinople , ivan matveyevich tolstoy was appointed deputy minister, yegor petrovich kovalevsky, director of the asian department, all these are russian names.

unprecedented activity in order to transfer gorchakov away from himself and sent him, here, but there was also the famous story with benkendor, now i will quote the memoirs of gorchakov himself, he wrote: "i did not enjoy the favor of emperor nicholas pavlovich due to the unpleasantness of count nassalrod towards me. for many years i sat in vienna without receiving the next honorary. awards, curiously, this was facilitated by one insignificant incident, which, however, among the people surrounding the sovereign nicholas pavlovich made me famous as a liberal, a very deplorable fame for that time. once, in the small retinue of the emperor, nicholas pavlovich, igrave alexander khristoforovich benkandor arrived in vienna, in the absence of the envoy, i, acting as his position as a senior adviser to the embassy. i hurried to see the count. after

a few cold phrases, he, without inviting me to sit down, said: "please order the hotel owner, i need lunch today." i calmly approached the bell and called the metro to the hotel. "what does this mean?" asked count benkendorf angrily. "nothing more, count, than that you can contact the hotel metro yourself to order lunch." this answer earned me a reputation as a liberal in the eyes of the then all-powerful count benkendorf. in fact, because of his character and the attitude of his superiors, first of all nikolai pavlovich, of course, nikolai i, gorchakov spent 12 years as an envoy in sturgat, at the court ruler, then accordingly he was an envoy at the german federal diet in frankfurt, which generally gathered.

revolution in germany in the forties, which gorchakov witnessed, in general this experience of sitting in germany gave him quite a lot, this is really so, he acquired connections, one of these connections in frankfurt, it was a connection with the future chancellor of germany, the actual creator of the german state , ottovon bismarck, and bismarck listened attentively to gorchakov, he was not yet such a major figure as he would become later, and some historians even call gorchakov a teacher. bismarck, although this is probably still a bit of an exaggeration. it must be said that gorchakov was an ardent opponent of the crimean war, in this sense, as was not silrode, but he was a man of the system and, of course, being an official, he could not resist it, he was inside the system, in it, worked and so on. after the death of nicholas i, gorchakov, in fact, starts his career anew, and, while in vienna, he does one very important thing

that is often forgotten: there, the conditions were agreed upon, on which the congress in paris was to be held, at which, accordingly , a decision was made about who should concede what to whom, so that's it... it was in vienna that gorchakov showed himself quite brightly and was awarded the order of alexander nevsky for this, when he did not allow the most humiliating conditions for russia to begin peace negotiations. in the conditions when sevastopol was surrendered, because the negotiations were still underway during the fighting, it was important to insist on these conditions, which were not humiliating enough for russia from the point of view of england and france, in particular gorchukov, he would also do this later, he played on the contradiction. between the two opponents of russia, between england and france, these contradictions existed, it is enough to mention one, the english wanted to go further into russia, and the french, who had suffered considerable losses, losses, like the british at sevastopol, were generally skeptical about this, including because they had already

gone deep into russia once in 1812, and gorchakov was also able to play on these contradictions, we didn't expect this, they didn't expect it, a certain victor louis, a citizen of the ussr, we were leading him, an unremarkable figure, never, in anything, nowhere, a journalist, the unofficial voice of the kremlin during the time of leonid brezhnev, i read your sensational material about the change of the russian leadership, it's amazing, what kind of connections do you have there in the kremlin? in the kremlin my neighbor works there, as a street cleaner, a man of mystery, who stood behind the most high-profile events of the era. yes, who will print them, the memories are mine, you, or what, well, nobody here, but... i could send them to the west, they will be snatched up there, people have the right to know the truth, the only legal soviet millionaire, all this will have to be paid for someday, and i have already paid, an informed source in moscow, today on

the first, he will be killed there, you will be to blame for this, the country's security is worth one person. hello dear friends, to the new repertoire haris is allowed only if he passes all the subjects, the most famous young singer of the ussr cannot study poorly. leave me alone, i don’t want to see you, the capital’s place is free, go and sing, so, you will sing, i understand, explain how this song was filmed, how this was filmed, in 5 days of inspection, unanimously, maybe it’s time for us all

to get acquainted already, well, hello, choir, the premiere of the multi-part film, from monday on the first. we continue our release. today, diplomat alexander gorchakov is in the spotlight. gorchakov, heading the ministry of foreign affairs, it initially had the task, in general, not just to somehow correct the paris treaty, but simply to cancel it. and here is an interesting way he formulated it in a conversation with pavel kiselev. in the sources he uses a different ending, that russia is concentrating, is better

known, it is better known, but this is actually a matter of translation, at that time the language of diplomacy was french, that is why there are simply different variations of translation and the words became.

literally austria - came out with hostility to russia, by its neutrality, essentially sided

with england and france, forcing them to withdraw their troops from the danubian principalities, creating a threat on russia's borders. prussia took a similar position, also not entirely good-natured neutrality towards russia, also forcing russia to withdraw its troops from the danubian principalities together with austria. russia found itself isolated. the great powers, the concert of great powers, that's what they were called when, who were they? england, france, prussia? at that time, it was already austria-hungary, the early austrian empire, and russia, and all the other four were against russia. and so gorchakov's task was to destabilize this concert of great powers playing against russia. and he made a very unexpected move for russian diplomacy. first, he noted that austria is not a state, it is only a government. a harsh characterization that was justified in fact, only much later. russian diplomacy has traditionally focused on the german states. and , in fact, played this role during his stay in stuttgart and frankfurt am main. gorchakov decides to bet on

france. on napoleon ii. since russia's interests coincided with france's, or rather, there was even such a story, they did not contradict the french. we had no intersections, except for france's participation in the crimean war. accordingly, napoleon ii. had to be transferred to another channel, the basis for this rapprochement was the italian question, which hit austria. austria occupied the northern part of italy. igorchakov played a subtle game to direct france's activity towards italy, to support italy's aspirations of cavour italian then prime minister, the creation of a unified italian state, while, of course, gorchakov, as a man of his time, could not support the italian grassroots resistance, i mean the garibaldians, garibaldi, especially since there were connections between the italian insurgents and the polish rebels, yes there were, yes, nevertheless, nevertheless.

without shedding a single drop, our soldier, to punish austria with the help of the french. the wedge was driven in, then gorchakov expanded it, then a secret treaty was signed between paris and petersburg, and then the war between austria and france and piedmont began, which quickly ended in the defeat of the austrians, and here , already during the war itself, gorchakov managed to play a very... important role, because the prussians began to mobilize in order to support the austrians, and gorchakov at that

moment put forward the idea of ​​mediation between the prussians and the french, thereby slowing down this entire mobilization, and so on, then the french generals told our ambassador in paris, count kiselev, that this assistance was equivalent to a hundred thousand army. germany in the unification of germany gorchakov also played a certain role, he supported prussia, precisely so that prussia would become, here with france it did not work out to the end to make france a counterweight to this anti-russian concert of great powers, so it is necessary to use prussia, he used prussia here, yes contributed to the unification of prussia, although this periodically caused him some concern that too strong prussia could become too serious a counterweight to russia. and he will also play his role in order to prevent it, he did not manage to do it to the end, to prevent it later, the main thing is that he very

skillfully observed this violation of the balance in europe and tried to play on it, it is also important to understand that gorchakov, knowing about the capabilities of the russian military empire, tried to prevent russia from being drawn into military conflicts until the moment when the forces, as they say, were gathered, until russia , in other words, concentrated, here... there could well have been a military conflict with england, then with the united states, why this it was necessary, he needed to solve the main task that he was pursuing, this is the denunciation of the paris treaty, in fact, he implemented it, and then, accordingly , this... the next, as it were, fragment from gorchakov's activities, we can remember how he fought off

european attacks in connection with the next polish uprising, because... one of the arguments that was, this is unrest in russia now, there, well, this is natural, great reforms have begun, they cannot contribute to stability and we must take advantage of this, therefore, in general, this is a struggle such, a counter political game, the poles hoped that the great reforms

would help them, because they would cause some kind of disorder in russia, and alexander... the second harshly suppressed this uprising, believing that great reforms were necessary, and therefore it was necessary to act harsher, but this suppression of the uprising, as often happened in our history, it ceased to be an exclusively internal matter, it became an international matter, and they especially helped with the word...

independent from one sea to another, well and if so, our diplomacy said, then guys, well today they demand this, tomorrow they will demand the annexation of those lands where there are a lot of russians and orthodox, and then they will demand those lands that i don’t know there from the germans or somewhere else, so all this very seriously needs to be stopped fueling. this movement, first of all by the french and the english. this is a historical podcast russia-west on the swings of history, we continue the conversation about the brilliant diplomat, alexander gorchakov. i’m not even saying that all the arguments that i used the russian foreign ministry during this period, it was

absolutely correct.

these emperors of austria and prussia visited petersburg, then returned visits were made, but this alliance turned out to be short-lived, the fact is that in 1875 ott von bismarck decided that it was time to finish off france. there had already been a successful war, france was humiliated, france was almost knocked out of the concert of great powers, after a shameful defeat, the capture of the emperor, the emperor accordingly died. france revolution, the paris commune. bismarck decided, that france is now weak, alone, no one will stand up for it, it can be finished off in order to achieve hegemony, in fact, in

central, in western europe, germany, a united germany. austria at that time was already in fact the tail of the german empire, which followed the course that set the german empire, their forces were incommensurate after austria's defeat by prussia during the wars for the unification of the german state. and so... gorchakov, gorchakov, in fact, he did not issue ultimatums, but he made it very clear, bismarck, made it clear to germany that russia was ready to stand up for france, despite france's negative policy towards russia at different stages of their coexistence in the 19th century, and bismarck retreated, he did not forgive gorchakov and russia for this, he did not forgive, no, of course, it is enough to read his memoirs, bismarck's most interesting memoirs, brilliantly written, but in places, just when... he writes about gorchakov to russia, he simply contradicts himself, of course, he had the opportunity to take revenge. the fact is that gorchakov objected to the russo-turkish war of 7-7. he believed

that russia did not have enough strength, that russia, in this sense, violated the established parity in europe, that the strengthening of russia by seizing turkish possessions would not be allowed by the great powers, and accordingly, it was not worth getting involved in this war. and in russia at that time . hesitated for a long time, but in the end he decided, and despite the skepticism of this, even of the minister of war dmitry milyutin, russia entered this war, the war was expensive, 250,000 russian soldiers, of whom only 5,000 died from bullets bayonets saber blows, and 2000... died from difficult conditions, from illness, from the cold, the famous shipka seat and so on. after that, russia concludes the san stefano treaty, according to the san stefano treaty, serbia and montenegro are independent,

bulgaria is actually independent, well, it has a very broad autonomy, pays a symbolic tribute to turkey, and in fact, things were also moving towards the independence of romania, turkey was losing territories in europe, almost losing territories in europe, in general, russian troops did not... go to constantinople, as it was then in russia was called, yes or to istanbul, only because england and france, first of all england, spoke out sharply against it, brought in their fleet accordingly, brought it to the place of military operations, and in order not to quarrel with these powers, russia, accordingly, did not capture constantinople istanbul, although there were already opportunities for this, not just opportunities with difficulty did not capture, they grabbed at every bush, so that the turks would flee, that but after the san stefano... uh peace russia was forced again by a concert of great powers again as then to the crimea, again because of turkey, and gorchakov warned, united against

russia and the conditions of the san stefano peace were considered preliminary and the berlin congress was convened. as a result, the territory of bulgaria was cut in half, and it was divided into three parts: one autonomy, broad autonomy from turkey, the other part, eastern rumelia - a principality under the protection of. at the berlin congress, but he was 82 years old, bismarck was younger, bismarck pretended that he was an honest broker, an honest intermediary, in fact he played, of course, on the side of england and

france, so that russia could take revenge for 75. it concerns gorchakov directly, he was the last of the graduates of the tsarskoye selo lyceum, here pushkin wrote: which of us in old age will have to celebrate the day of the lyceum alone, an unfortunate friend, among new generations, a tiresome guest, and superfluous, and a stranger, he will remember us and the days of the unions. closing

his eyes with a cherished hand, well, absolutely directly, no one knew that gorchakov would be the last, but he turned out to be the last. i think that here, closing his eyes with a trembling hand, the old man gorchakov, already retired, uh, recalling past affairs, i think that he honestly admitted to himself those mistakes that also happened, but at the same time, i think... he could also console himself, quite rightly, with the fact that he made foreign policy more russian and more patriotic, in fact, that is how he will remain in our history, i agree, here in conclusion, we can quote gorchakov himself, he recalled, i was the first in my dispatches to use the expression sovereign and russia, before me for europe it did not exist another concept in relation to our

fatherland, as only the emperor. count neselrodi, mentioned many times today, continue to quote gorchakov, even the bitch told me directly, why am i doing this, we only know one tsar, my predecessor said: we don’t care about russia, but gorchakov cared about russia, he changed the situation. this was a historical podcast russia-west on the swings of history, with you were peter romanov and sergei solovyov, study history with us. you can watch all episodes of the podcast russia and the west on the swings of history look at the channel one website. here's the thing, yura, you know, the situation in the country is not easy. well, you understand yourself, nikita

sergeyevich, you have to understand that a man of age, so it's not always, how can i say this, you understand what i'm getting at? i understood, i heard that a decision was made to remove khrushchev, as i understand it, at the plenum, well, in connection with this issue, we need to do something so that they react correctly abroad. otherwise, nikita

would have scared them there, or he would have sent those missiles to cuba with a smack, we need to somehow hint to them, that the new leadership of the soviet union is striving for dialogue, for stability, otherwise they 'll go crazy again. what do you suggest about another crisis here? i think that it's pointless to act through the mit, it's too clumsy, i agree, i 've thought about it, what do you suggest? considering all

the circumstances. after all, as i understand it, we'll have to act informally, very quickly, that's an understatement, we need... some western journalist who would cover the issue from the angle we need, in some newspaper, i think it's best in american. victor, pay attention to this picture,

a very interesting artist, you know, it’s a good investment, excuse me, please. yuri mikhailovich, you remember me, victor louis, of course i do. victor louis, born in 1928.

shoot me, citizen, chief, well, about shooting, we’ll talk later, now tell me what you’re going to do after your release, and i still have 5 years before my release, citizen, chief. so don’t blame me, i didn’t think about it.

the government allocates them a three-story mansion but they return to moscow, where the soviet in the city center. according to operational data, brezhnev's trusted man chervakov has already had a conversation with the american journalist stevens, what they talked about is unknown, it is still unknown. it is clear, no need to be a fortune teller, lyonya decided to take a low start, i don't like it, nikita is still here, and this bugger is already digging in, i think brezhnev guesses that we only need him for...

look at the speed he's developed, he's flirting with the west, but we'll break the muraga, come on, take care of this americans, okay.

comrade stevens, hello, hello, hurry up, please, the plane is already waiting, what plane, i'm not going anywhere, how come you're not going, get ready, you're getting ready , of course you're going, you could even say you've already got ready, but where, tashkent, of course, to tashkent. the neighbor suddenly left for tashkent, at the

moment i'm trying to find out, we don't have time to find out yura, everything's already rushed, as they say, oh my god, come on, think, dear, maybe there are some other options, but urgently, urgently, khrushchev will be in moscow this evening, there's no time left, come on! hello, my dears! this is the most cowardly, musical-detective show "rodnyami". who do you think is hiding behind our screen, who is boris's close, star relative, that it is yuri nikolai, boyarsky, but the confusion in the clues was capital, where are you , my dear?

did your star relative participate in the star factory? no, moon melody. beloved, beautiful, only wife, relatives, watch the season premiere after the evening news, montechoc cognac, stellor

group product, i have trouble, i was riding late, i have here is a transfer, 4 hours to wait, i handed over my things to... the world storage here, suddenly you are some kind of swindler, she had square glasses, she was so made up, not that much, according to the protocol we take you 3000 under inventory, but then moscow will decide, your bank is being robbed now, do you recognize this citizen, i honestly can't say for sure, no, the premiere of a multi-part film is on monday on channel one. this is a completely different level, different money, a different situation, and you will certainly be noticed in the west, well, not forever

you should be jackaling your swedes, well, who are the swedes, they are sitting there in their swamps, and this is the west, england. america, a different scale, do you understand? yes, only if they notice in the west, the party suffered, they will notice in another place, give, while stevens, you can end up in tashkent, at best, and even further, but not in england. or america, that's true, mind you, i'm not hiding anything from you, here it's either do or die, come on, come on, think, think,

he who does not risk, does not drink champagne, the decision is yours. decide, but quickly, time dear.

sit down, i have a real bomb for you. in the autumn of 1964, newspapers from different countries reported on the most important events that had happened in the world. the eighteenth olympic games were taking place in tokyo. in the unofficial standings, the usa won with 36 gold, 26 silver and 28 bronze medals. the ussr had less gold, so it was given the second place. china conducted its first official nuclear test, declaring its ambitions

to become one of the major players in the international arena. in the usa, the presidential election race was in the home stretch, in which... means that the ussr is choosing a soft, moderate course of foreign policy, preferring stability and dialogue in relations with the west. the new secretary general is not gathering.

i'll leave you, i read your sensational material about the change of the russian leadership, it's amazing, such awareness, i am quite familiar with the entire foreign correspondent corps of moscow, and i'm ready to bet that not every journalist working for a western publication can boast of such awareness, what kind of connections do you have there in the kremlin? thank you you, it's always nice to hear when your work is appreciated so highly, as for connections,

it's all very simple: my neighbor works in the kremlin, as a janitor, you have a completely english sense of humor, tell me, what do you think about cooperation with leading publications in england? this proposal, exactly, well, in general terms, it's interesting, in general terms, but i would like to know the details, are you a businessman?

brezhnev had another journalist in reserve, we didn't expect this, oh well, we didn't expect it, they didn't expect it, give me this one, a certain viktor louis, a citizen of the ussr, collaborates with a number of western publications. "we were keeping an eye on him, an unremarkable figure, never, in anything, nowhere, so now you don't take your eyes off him, andropov, so far the only sure-fire option, everyone is happy, why?" "

we've known brezhnev for ages, besides, they're in-laws, their wives, sisters, though, are half-sisters,

so there are no questions about reliability, about brains, though, that's the usual thing with us. either one or the other, on the left is yuri chervakov, brezhnev's confidant, a former employee of the authorities, his interlocutor niki louis, a correspondent for a number of foreign newspapers, who is he, despite his last name. russian, has a criminal record, speculation, married foreigners, citizens of great britain, the appropriate social circle. weak, this is weak, is there

anything else? there is information that khrushchev began to show activity. after his resignation, nikita khrushchev lived in a modest state dacha allocated to him in the moscow region settlement of petrov dalneye. he often walked around the dacha and went fishing, despite the fact that he was already over 70, khrushchev's active nature could not come to terms with doing nothing, in 1967 he came up with the idea of ​​writing memoirs. what other memoirs?

khrushchev's son? he repeatedly told his acquaintances that he was persuading his father to write a memoir, recently information appeared that khrushchev agreed, of course, and what he is going to do with these memoirs is still unknown, but there is no doubt that if the west finds out about this, imagine what he will say about me there on the sly... yura, you personally need to take care of this matter, but how is it necessary here to do everything more delicately, of course, i understand that if we put pressure on him, he will make everyone stand on their ears, we don't

need a scandal now at all. of course, i mean the authority of the party here can't be mistaken, we need to come up with something, some kind of maneuver? yura, this needs to be done. secretary of the central committee kirilenko, who summoned him , khrushchev refused to give working materials for a conversation in moscow. what sons of bitches, they also decided to spy on me, not only did they stick their listening devices all over my dacha, and the toilet, probably, is not

forgot, i know you prefer irish whiskey, but believe me, this is a very special, soft, ice, no, thank you, that's right, ice only spoils, doesn't let it open up. taste, and you're an expert? nothing human, as they say, well, let's get down to business. yuri vladimirovich, i 'm listening to you attentively. we'll talk about your professional activities. we

liked the way you did the job of covering khrushchev's resignation. "we offer you cooperation on a permanent basis, what will be required of me besides professionalism, loyalty, well in this regard i have never caused you any trouble, otherwise you would not be talking to me now, yuri ladmirovich. i understand, i interest you as a channel through which the information you need will get into the western press, there my name, i will say without false modesty, enjoys a certain level of trust, i would like this status quo to be preserved for me, i think it is

also beneficial to you, the information that through... through you will be, as the americans say, of the highest quality, we will do this ourselves, i hope you me... with my arrogance personally, and not hand them over to the state, i don't see anything impossible, but

for now i have specific things for you. the nose is perfect, better than agutin's, exactly, exactly! no questions, his things, his song, lena yermolnik looked at me and asked where i was, what i was, what was it without you, without you, i'm not like that at all, i immediately undressed, do you think you can lure me with a red shirt. give me your jacket! just like

the season premiere! tomorrow after the evening news! deep fakes from the baltics about our public transport. you can see, what trams are running? there is no such thing in russia. why are ukrainians in europe surprised by the schedule. buses trams, they are focused purely on the domestic ukrainian consumer, because this is his life, probably the third video he will be surprised by the water from the tap, all life, game, f16 fell, giran can not move like that, that is, there are many inconsistencies here, let's analyze the fake for the creation of which the american special services had to kidnap a russian it specialist. this game is ideal for fakes, it is officially used by the armed forces of ukraine for training f-16 pilots. antifake, the season premiere is on monday on the first.

hello, nikita sergeevich, who are you? i, my name is victor, victor louis, i am a journalist, i would like to talk to you. and why the hell should i talk to you? and what kind of last name is that? yes, my last name is really unusual, because of it i had to sit in a camp for 9 years and would have sat even longer if not for you. i owe my release personally to you, nikita sergeevich, i mean? you changed our whole life. if i had been released under stalin, it is unlikely i could... work as a journalist, well, in the worst case as a typesetter in a printing house, i would have been an equalizer as a typesetter, but you would have been sitting in a second round long ago, yes, they say correctly, do no good,

you will not receive evil, how many people have been brought back to normal life, but i was pushed into retirement, that's it, that's it, that's it, i just wanted to talk about this, why don't you write your memoirs? again 25, but who will publish them? my memoirs? you, or what? well, no one here, but i could send them to the west, they will be snatched up there, to the west? well, this is the only way, well, people have the right to know the truth, well, i mean, i've said everything, and now move on. yes, what a smart guy you are, he'll send you to the west, or maybe you're some kind of spy or, even worse, one of our authorities sent, if

they decided to send someone to you, nikita sergeyevich, then certainly not me, of all the soviet citizens, i would be the last 200 millionth, whom they decided to send to you, why is that, because? nikita sergeyevich, i, the very person who informed the world about your resignation, do you want check, it's very easy to do, if you want to, you can handle it. even a pensioner, an honorary pensioner, why the hell did you do that, i'm a journalist, i work for a foreign newspaper, and if a sensation falls into my hands, rest assured, i won't miss it, otherwise i'm not worth a dime, so if your memoirs end up in my hands, they will definitely see the light of day, you see, i'm with you now. our interests coincide,

yes, i tried to write, a reversal , i don't have stage design , i don't have assistants either, i'm still a writer myself, this is some kind of crap, when i speak, it seems normal. but how about on paper record, nothing works, nikita sergeyevich, and i'll give you a portable tape recorder, a small one like this, you say whatever you think is necessary, and i 'll print it all out, and i'll manage it with this equipment of yours, it's probably a real pain in the ass, here are just two buttons, two buttons, these ones, yeah, yeah, well, here, so,

work with khrushchev's tapes is finished, i checked the results personally, all the negative mentions of brezhnev have been removed, but what else, there's a lot left about stalin, extremely harsh statements, these are tapes three, five and seven. stalin didn't ask us for anything. what about sending the memoirs? well, how is it? i can't believe it. have you learned to do old fashion? i owe everything i can to you, my dear friend. "my

swedish colleagues have long been looking for a freelance correspondent, intelligent, energetic, russian, i'll give you the phone number, and you call, who knows, or as you say, come what may, yes, at first i 'll help you a little.

"my wife, lina, very nice to meet you, me too, and this is jennifer states, my english friend, as you can see, we are both victims of love to high art, i just don't know how to thank you for the science. victor, it's always easy to talk to you, you know, thank you, i didn't come to you today just like that, yes, i can read faces, maybe you even know what i'm going to ask you about, well, of course, i'm an esnavior, but not to that extent, it's a pity. "it's a pity, otherwise i

was going to relax, victor, we're going to talk about khrushchev's memoirs, and i'm asking you for a favor, well, if it depends only on me, then i want this manuscript to fall into the hands of the americans, not the english, yes, but..." you i must realize that this is not entirely original. i have lived in the soviet union for many years, and i understand perfectly well that khrushchev's memoirs were processed by the kgb, but there is still a lot of material left there that would be interesting to study, so my friends in america would like to see this manuscript before publication,

because we also have a tradition of making our superiors happy, and of course, an american edition should publish these memoirs, it is a matter of prestige, and besides, it is always useful when publishers owe you a little. pay attention attention, victor, no coercion, only mutual interest. america, america, why? it happened, i'll go to america, and i didn't think that you were such a patriot, i'm a patriot, victor, just like you,

the sea.

you know, there's a russian proverb: for whatever ugliness, how wonderful, for you, face, everything suits you, as for your face, everything suits you, and it will suit your collection, but you know, it seems to me that... he won't wear this, and even more so he won't be photographed in it, well, you know, if he doesn't wear this, then his memoirs won't be published, yes, but it seems to me that he doesn't give a damn about it, you know, if they told me, take a prisoner, put this on,

take a picture of you in this and we'll publish you , you know what i would tell them? that's why they ask me to give them a prearranged signal, i 'll take a picture of you in these hats that they chose and bought themselves, and i'll take the photos to them, it's just some kind of spy passions, i'm not going to put this crap on myself, what the hell, lenin would have put it on, lenin, what did you take, and

remember how in 1917 he returned to st. petersburg to... to shit in the toilet, otherwise they'll publish it, you'll be ashamed, what are you saying, a word sign?

he studied russian language and literature at the american university of oxford, where he shared a room in a student dormitory with a lover of cheerful companies, beautiful girls and playing the saxophone, bill clinton. nikita khrushchev indignantly refused a fee for his memoirs. the last thing he needed, he said. for them to say that i'm on the payroll of capitalists, victor louis got his fee, the main thing

is the exact amount of angostura, two drops more is enough, the whole thing will be ruined, this cocktail is a great art, when i saw how quickly nina mastered it, i immediately married her, jennifer, i 'm listening to you. "jennifer, i'm a doosan monk who reads minds, but it's obvious, you know perfectly well that my wife is at the massage therapist at this time, firstly, and secondly, you have an unusually thoughtful look today, so come on, come on, spill it, what do you know?" "about svetlana alliluyeva, and the obstinate daughter of stalin, with her there won't be

much vaz. i reported about her to washington, said that alliluyeva is unpredictable, but our the eggheads decided that she would go mad with gratitude, having found herself in the west. and would obediently do what she was told? no. they arranged this? carnival with an escape for her, yes, and now they have remembered, yes, that's right, this, my friends in london think that alliluyeva's reputation is too impeccable, they are surprised by this, mm, i would say, even unpleasantly, surprised, well, that's understandable, while she has a nimp over her head, she has every reason to believe that the matter...

how much influence can you have on your husband? what does this mean, jenny, difficult or easy? for you it's nothing. i don't understand, janie, what your relation to all this is. victor, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. all that is needed is for you to write an article about alliluyeva in england, it's worth nothing, well then let someone else do it, what does it have to

do with me, well because, because they know you, they trust you, after this whole story with khrushchev's memoirs, your every word will be caught on the fly, vitya, the information is already ready, i will write this article myself, all that is required of you is to... send it to london, jenny, it's disgusting, it's disgusting, jenny, understand, think about it, who is this, hallelujah, lonely, flighty woman, abandoned her children, went wild, wherever her eyes looked, now they'll start twisting her, and so edok, i'm disgusted, jenny, i'm disgusted to take part in this, if, if this were andropov's order. yes, he is still my master, everyone has their own

master, victor. no, chenny, well, don't be naive, darling, you, jenny, so maybe you married me on their orders, well, don't talk nonsense. what nonsense, jenny, what nonsense, how is it with you are called, an agent of influence, yes, what have you done from zhenya, what have you done from zhenya? "i

thought that at least in bed, i am not surrounded by all this dust. yes, lenya has cheated us like children. children, underestimated, we are losing, we are losing positions, oh, i wanted to do without this, without frontal attacks,

it will not work. we do not have time for these multi-move moves, and so we must not be late, we will not be late, next week there is a politburo meeting, prepare a report from the gas control about the failures in the economy, i will come out with criticism, here it is do or die, we need to prepare from the ... west, yes, yes, and about brezhnev personally, about him , about this family, about the alcoholic son, we'll drag out all the crap from the world, but carefully, so as not to break a friend, and here's an idea, there's

a journalist named louis, nina. "i need to talk to ed urgently, he's been kidnapped, yes, dear, we already know everything, sit down, ed has a man sitting with him now, he wants to meet with you, just calm down, good afternoon, your husband is safe, but..." if you want to see him alive and well, you 'll have to do something for us. who are you? how your name? it doesn't matter. all that is required of you is to hand over

this material on behalf of your husband. and by... we have very little time, okay, can i call, please, hello, simon, this is jennifer, i'm at stevens's, please don't ask anything, come here as soon as possible. and now, listen to me, comrade without a name. in 15 minutes , the press from ashe of the british embassy will be here

, western journalists. if in 3 hours i don't see my husband, tomorrow, the entire western press on... writes that shelepin is preparing a coup d'etat, the purpose of which is return to stalinism. i note that you have little time, very little. can i call? yes, no, no, yes, fine.

thank you!

they said that you are a real witch.

you don't look well, yes, i, i was sick, but now i am completely healthy, and what is this story about your kidnapping, well, no one kidnapped me, i... for example, the materials about svetlana alliluyeva, which you recently published, are not welcome, firstly, it was

a request from a close friend, secondly, i have some scores to settle with this family, under her father i spent several years in a camp, agree, my revenge was not the most cruel. from now on, all requests, as well as plans for revenge, discuss with me first, however... if you are so interested in the person of alliluyeva, i want to consult with you. this is her memoir, which

she wrote back in moscow. here is the copy that we confiscated from her moscow apartment. according to our information, she took the second copy to america. where it is in the process of publication, as you understand, this is undesirable for us, let's think together what can be done here? well, i see only one way out, get ahead of the americans? we must, we must urgently edit this manuscript in the right way and send it to the west, for example, to germany, let's say. but

will the american book see the light of day sooner or later? yes, but it will no longer cause a sensation, and there is no sensation, there is no interest, and there are hardly any hunters to compare the texts of two books with the same title, so the american edition will turn out to be a soap bubble. in the late sixties, victor louis finally achieved the position he dreamed of. he became rich, lived in an inaccessible even luxury to the highest party officials. in bakovka, near moscow, he built himself an estate that was legendary. there were fountains, a sculpture park, an indoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a garage, where a collection of magnificent cars was gradually being collected, including a mercedes, a volvo, a ford mustang , a unique antique bentley convertible. with the fee due for alliluyeva's book

20. almost went for potatoes, well, now i have it in england, in a special workshop, there too, when they saw it, everyone got in, in england, you say, i can afford it, and yes, i allowed it you, bless you, allowed yourself, a house with a swimming pool, a car to an english mechanic, well

, come on, come on, finish the conversation, no, i just, i just have to pay for all this someday, and i've already paid, you're wrong, you put me on... that's what you put, vitya, anandropov will squeeze you dry, throw you out like a lemon, you understand, i've known him for a long time, you can believe me, listen, if you're so smart, why are you so poor then, and again you 're trying to be a blatnoy, viktor louis, "andropov

has you on the hook, well, that's still a big question, who has whom on the hook now, big question. yurochka, listeners of our radio show want to know where and how you study, blebey, what did you say, leave him, leave him to me, so that i don’t see you near the choir anymore, that’s clear, and how are you, herod, the earth carries you, nink, nin,

nin, they show your yurk there.

god’s soul mother, archangel, don’t shoot, do you know him, well, guys, you have reinforcements, hello, come on, accept them. oh, what a cutie, archangel, just look, hello, we have such, hello, behind

the partition, girls, you replenishment. and sadi, who is that? well, and victor was convicted of speculation, where are you from, from moscow, what can you do, me, i know a lot of history, useful ones, come on, what? now, yes, when?

you'll get along well, it's pleasing to the eye, you approve, no way, it's a shame for an honest thief to live like that, a real burglar doesn't need anything, no home, no wife, no trinkets, nothing holds him back. because he's free, you understand, it's a vorta, free, what have you seen in your life, and you live, the waste of income,

you roll over to raspberries, is this freedom, or what? and me yesterday in paris, tomorrow in new york. i've traveled the whole world, freedom, you haven't seen a hundredth of what i've had the chance to see, freedom, you'll say, well, what do you understand, but one might think that you choose where to rush off to, your big boss told you, go to paris, you drag yourself to paris, although in your soul it may be,

hello, good evening, this is andropov, yes, yuri vladimirovich, i recognized you. turn on the radio. what radio? well, not a lighthouse, of course. on march 2, 1969, the chinese military, under cover of night, occupied the small damansky island on the ussuri river and in the morning opened

from there, fire on the soviet border guards. after fierce fighting , a tank detachment was called in for help, but the counterattack failed, and the chinese managed to capture the newest soviet t-62 tank with secret equipment on board. after this , a decision was made to use a bm-21 grad rocket division against them. this was the first time that missiles were used in combat. actions after march 15, the border conflict continued despite the cessation of active combat. soviet border guards were forced to open fire on hundreds of times violators. listen, louis. i've

been meaning to tell you for a long time, in my opinion, you 've outgrown the short pants of journalism. i think it's time to offer you a real, serious case. thank you, yuri vladimirovich, i'm polish. you already know about the situation on the chinese border, the situation is difficult, we decided to use a counterweight, namely taiwan. we can't send an official delegation for negotiations, do you understand me? for now, yes, as far as i know, we don't have diplomatic relations with... taiwan, yes, so we need to send

a private person, it must be a smart, decisive person, but devoid of any hint of official status, of course, you will have to act at your own risk, i understand. i admit, it is a dangerous matter, you can of course refuse, but for some reason it seems to me that you will agree, mr. zianzingo, i am authorized to convey to you that the soviet state expects a lot from cooperation between... our countries, cooperation presupposes

bilateral action. one of the most influential figures in political taiwan was the son of the country's first president, chiang kai-shek, dzyan-dzengo. he was a man of amazing destiny. in 1925, his father sent him to study in soviet russia. there he ended up in the family of lenin's sister, anna ilyinishno. he mastered russian perfectly, joined the communist party, studied at the university of the toilers of the east in moscow, at the kazan tank school and the leningrad military-political academy. in the thirties , elizarov worked as the head of a mechanical workshop at uralmash, and then ran a newspaper there for hard work.

i was instructed to bring to your attention that the soviet union is prepared to propose that taiwan take china's place in the united nations. such a situation could increase aggression. from china towards us, our island

is a small delicate flower. what will happen to it if it falls between the hammer of the ussr and the anvil of china? in the event of increasing aggression from china, and especially in the event of an attack on the ussr or taiwan, the soviet union proposes to coordinate its military actions with you. we are confident that if the chinese authorities learn that between taiwan and ussr. such a treaty, they will think three times before using force against your country, a wise gardener will call a toad as a girlfriend so that she eats slugs that threaten

delicate flowers? i never thought that andropav's envoy would be familiar with medieval chinese poetry, there is news, just received information from louis, the negotiations have begun successfully, contacting has been established. well, i was not mistaken in him, well done, and

now pavel sergeyevich, let's start insisting. we need to open the cards a little, make the chinese nervous. we need to very carefully give them know that our man is in taiwan and has already achieved certain results in the negotiations. this, i think, will cool their warlike ardor and help avoid another one.

but yuri vladimirovich , viktor will find himself in a very difficult situation if he finds out that the chinese know about our negotiations. who said it would be easy? the country's security is worth one man, nothing, god willing, he will get out of it, because he is our lucky one.

mr. dzhandinga, i do not understand why i was given this excursion to the prison dungeons, perhaps you do not know, but at stalin, i spent several years in a camp, so such things do not surprise me, so if you were counting on impressing me, you know that you failed. "i just wanted you to know how we deal with traitors and spies,

i do not understand, the chinese government has learned of your presence here, and this means that you, russians, have used taiwan and me personally, as a bargaining chip, from now on you are not a representative of the soviet government to me, but an impostor and provocateur, this is a misunderstanding, someone will have to answer for such misunderstandings, what do you think my reaction should be? do not forget that you are here illegally, and this means that if you disappear, then officially no one will be able to make any claims against you. absolutely right, it is a pity that our poetic meetings with you ended so quickly, but i believe you have nothing to object to, on the contrary,

there is, but before i present you with my objections, i ask you for time to think, i need to think everything clearly formulate. tomorrow at 9:00 and this will be our last meeting. jenny, do you know what victor is doing in

taiwan? no, he didn't tell me. he went there on androp's orders for secret negotiations with jiangzingo. i am surprised by your coverage. it shouldn't surprise you, but rather worry you, because not only do i and my american friends know about this, the chinese now know about it too. do you understand what this means for victor? was it you, was it you who issued louis to the chinese? jenny, am i right? answer me, i'm right, jenny, it's much more complicated than that, it's not answer to my question, jenny, we got

the information from the romanians and passed it on to the chinese through reliable channels. taiwan is a sphere of american interests, and we must not let the russians in, and for that... it was necessary to fail victor's mission, the only way to do that was to inform the chinese about him, it was not my decision, victor's fate was decided in washington and they did it in the interests of america, the interests of america, what, what are you saying, you betrayed your friend for some militant interests of america, right?

pull yourself together, stop far away, here take it. drink, and now listen to me, if victor was a simple executor of someone else's will blindly followed orders, then he would be doomed, this is a deadly situation, yes, but he always plays by his own rules in

his own game. and therefore, he will make sure that the taiwanese understand that they need him. jenny, he himself said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he will be lucky. yes, i would give a lot right now to know what a brilliant move he thought, everything will be fine, jenny, everything will be fine.

despite the fact that the situation is difficult, each side can and should try to extract maximum benefit today. i propose the following to you:

i will organize a series of publications in the western press about the fact that the ussr is negotiating economic assistance to taiwan, since the united states is probably already aware of my visit here, they will compare the information they have, draw the conclusions we need, but they will probably be scared. the soviets are trying to lure you to their side, this means that they will be ready to pay for the preservation of their influence, this time their slow-moving congress will show miracles of dexterity, in the shortest possible time will make a decision to expand economic aid programs for taiwan, here, as they say, you have the cards in your hands, squeeze everything out of them that you can

survive. this is a good proposal, but it is not enough. i am listening to you. we will need a statement from the ussr about its readiness to use nuclear weapons against china. this will protect us in the event of a possible invasion. to make him nervous, you know how it makes me they call it in the west, an informed source in

moscow, i think that they will publish this kind of information from their informed source with pleasure, if of course the source turns out to be alive and well in moscow. what is it? a gift from dzyango in honor of the fulfillment of our agreements, the vodka is called victory over the tiger, only emperors drank it, what disgusting stuff, disgusting stuff, if only you knew what it's infused with, m, i see, a snake and a scorpion, yes, but only they play a role.

to whom andropov, oh, no, he'll have to pick out another gift, you know, i now i have no doubt that it was andropov who leaked the information, played the chinese card, and was ready to pay me, the gift will come later, i don’t know what it will be yet, now i understand what i was talking about. people for androp are not people, but material, bricks to nails, and i know, i know what the best

gift is your boss, he gave you great opportunities, so, let’s say, now we need to use these opportunities against him,

i am interested in living and working in this country. i really believe that competent work with refuseniks can bring considerable benefits. the west will start to look at the soviet government, at you personally, yuri vladimirovich, in a completely different way. well, well, it’s interesting, in my thoughts i proceed from the assumption that among those who have not yet received permission to leave, certainly not all are

potential enemies of the soviet state, certainly there are many completely harmless people, let’s say. yuri vladimirovich, well then why don’t we make a list of those whom we are ready to let go anyway, and arrange a nice trade for each person they are interested in, we have nothing to lose, and you, louis, are simply a fountain of fresh ideas. in america , victor louis's idea aroused the most lively interest. he was received twice in the white house. once

by vice president humphrey, and the other time by the president's national security advisor, the future us secretary of state, henry kissinger. after meeting with kissinger, louis flies to israel, with which the ussr at that time had no diplomatic relations, meets there with prime minister golda meyer. ussr showed the west that it was possible to negotiate carefully with it, which made the transition to a policy of détente possible.

from 1971 to 1979 , 225 thousand people emigrated from the soviet union, poor people, they think that they are needed by someone there, they are traded like a cat, like dead souls, i thought that for americans freedom is an ideal. this is something like that, no way, what kind of nasty thing should i do, and then there is history, with alshenitsen, come on, come on, tell me, i am telling you. the kgb finally decided

that the writer solzhenitsson represents a terrible threat to the creative work of the soviet people, and you know their methods, bulldozer-like, yes, i know, remember that incident when i was sent to tashkent, so, i didn’t even take my bag with me, i was in the way. i remember, well, they ordered me to publish a stolen manuscript, can you imagine, solzhenitsa got a tip on it, and then, oops, it turns out to be in the west and he’ll be imprisoned, anti-soviet propaganda, eight years in a camp, at least, yes, can you imagine what kind of nastiness

you have to do, that’s the job, only you’re like that i've already done things, viktor, i've done them, i've done them, but that's a completely different matter, there's svetka halleluyeva, who is she, a hole in a donut, she's a big deal, a real human being, you'll have to make a deal after all. you'll have to deal with your conscience, otherwise you'll lose your head, the chekists have a short conversation, so you'll have to, my friend , well, you'll have to, or you

won't, maybe i'll think of something, like a ticket, a passport to... that seems to be all, jenny, yes, listen, i have a favor to ask of you, don't confuse me, my head is already full of holes, i'll forget everything, no, it's not full of holes, it's the best head in the world, only this head can i trust, it's... it's very important to me, jenny, please send me a telegram from london, remember? yes, don't worry, how can i not worry, my dear wife is going to her mother, leaving me, an orphan, alone, i'm going to cry now, stop! the manuscript of the novel

solzhenitsa. cancer ward was decided to be sent to the émigré publishing house grani, however, even before this happened, a telegram arrived there, which said that someone was going to offer the publishing house stolen manuscript. grani immediately launched a real campaign on this matter. a letter of protest was sent to all possible authorities, including the soviet literary magazine novy mir. an ugly story, if it did not become public knowledge, it was. impossible in the soviet union, but not only the progressive public in the west learned about it, but also the soviet intelligentsia, i see you are a man of taste, thank you, you are interested in art, well, a little, and you,

brother, levka, our pure professor of... art critic, better, our friend jokes, i work in a second-hand shop, but i am very interested in art, especially icons, you have a good collection , perhaps only a couple of classic boards are missing, for example, the chernigov mother of god. he guarantees, well, it is impossible, for a person like you, nothing should be impossible, if you want, i will get you this icon, levka, flint, he said, he will do it, well,

as far as i know, this icon was stolen from a museum some time ago. and it is unknown where it is, it does not matter where it is is, the most important thing is that you want it to be with you, hello, victor, and i'm the boss here, i see a... take the order, here it is , a beauty, a board, just what you need, the very one, yes, the very one, did you doubt it, the brooms company doesn't knit, just don't ask me what, where and how? i don't give out the secrets of my business even

to those whom i respect greatly, i respect you terribly too, you know how to live, and this is just the cherry on the cake, as they say in america. as agreed? listen, louis. now that you've seen that i'm serious about my work, i have a proposition for you. i'm listening. i'm interested in your neighbor, citizen kostaki. well, if you want me to introduce you to him, then it's impossible. "we're not on that kind of relationship, no, no, no, i wouldn't like to meet him, on the contrary, i wouldn't like him to see me or hear anything about me, i'm interested in him, here's why: your neighbor stole so much treasure that some people want to shake his

car, which means that george kostaki stole and..." a famous collector, well, that's all just a sign, we don't believe it, really, where did the quartermaster, who worked somewhere in the greek embassy, ​​get the money for such a collection, well, it's just funny, this fat man was doing such things with the diplomatic mail that oh-oh-oh, i don't care, i don't believe it, and yet it's true. too bad, you were his guest, you know what, where and how, well, the alarm, there and other little things, it could have been a good deal for you. i'll tell you a

secret, will the kostaki shake up in any case with your help or not? what do you think?

clothes, music, it would seem, everything is as usual,

what does this good uncle demand in return, here in return, in return they help him do his various little things, currency, valuables, this and that, but the most important thing is that there is something in our department, and more specifically, more specifically? there is a certain lev, according to his passport lev borisovich kazakov, only we had him involved in four cases at once, mainly theft, i want to leave for israel, i filed an application 2 years ago, family.

have you heard about the explosions in the metro on january 8? yes, yuri vladimirovich, i heard. what else have you heard about it? a gas explosion, but judging by what you did you start the conversation with this? this is not gas. a real bomb was detonated in the metro. this is a terrorist attack. terrorists, this means demands and other things, and the armenian separatists took responsibility, wow, that's it. as you understand, for the soviet union the situation is very unusual, but be that as it may, we are now closely involved, this is a serious matter, but unfortunately, we could not avoid resonance in the west, of course, so, in connection with this,

i have a personal request for you, strange as it may be. yes, no, not strange, yuri vladimirovich, especially in connection with this case, the explosion, you found yourself, so to speak, in the spotlight. that's exactly why i need your support. you are an experienced person, i trust you completely. "western newspapers will probably portray me now as an edokiy cruel blockhead, the chief of the secret police, not all, but many, yes, so all i want is to appear in the eyes of the world community, not as an executioner, not as a strangler of freedom of speech, but first

of all as a person, and i'm not afraid of this word. a sympathetic person, as you see, simon, not all soviet people live in cramped apartments, as you wrote in your article, i meant all ordinary soviet people, but to be honest, ordinary people in england also do not live in mansions. "no, everything will change for us, i mean the leadership, new people will come, thinking differently, free from dogmas, active, businesslike, is this how you characterize andropov, is this a new moscow joke, no, no,

simon, not a joke, i am absolutely serious, here is the whole secret and his longevity, yes, true, true, by the way, if you want, i'll tell you a funny story, kissinger told it to me at a meeting between brezhnev and

our kissinger. it's just that the decameron, by the way, uses official apartments for meetings with his own harem. as far as i know, the main candidate for the role of successor to power after brezhnev is considered to be shcholokov, which your friend androp probably doesn't like very much, well, at least

he doesn't share his disappointments with me. apparently, our friendship is not that close. no, of course not, simon, but everything is much different there it's more complicated, for example, it's no secret that when the ministry of internal affairs confiscates some valuables from a criminal, instead of them ending up in the state treasury, as required by law, the most interesting ones end up in the hands of shchelkov personally,

antiques, paintings, jewelry, our minister loves all of this, his dacha, his apartment, are simply bursting with treasures, yes, and the kgb - this is very well known, so kostaki robbed. "i cross you, i have no idea who killed your neighbor, i have no idea, everyone is silent, no one knows anything, not a word, "nothing, i sin against your lev, he is as much mine as yours, although i did not take stolen icons from him." "there is such a sin, i could not resist,

can't you see that andropov is simply dangerous for the country, for whom, for you, maybe, because when brezhnev kicks the bucket, such a purge will begin, the likes of which have not been seen for a long time, but don't worry, i 'll put in a good word for you, for old times' sake, yes for the country, he is dangerous for the country, that's the whole point, that this is a purge, he is not capable of anything else, only this is not a method, understand that the country has already survived all sorts of purges and other tightening of the screws. brezhnev ensured stability, moderation in everything, problems, yes, there are problems, no one talks about it, but the country is moving along a soft course, a moderate course, and

after the death of the previous one, to arrange another shake-up, it is dangerous for the country, for the country, what do they know about the country, they have fucked everything up and stolen everything, they are needed, and not your rotten moderation, finally let people live normally, they finally remembered about the people, and dug in in his, you understand, general's mansion behind three barriers, when did you last see the people, when i ask you, when they drove a mercedes up your ass, my dear! you exploded from a well-fed life, exploded, not that, started biting, what is this, what is this, what is this, what is this

, what is this, you won’t get away with this childishness, you ’ve gotten away with it until now, you fool, do you think your master will cover for you, but he will use you like a dog, say, you will bark? that’s what, you go on with these speeches against brezhnev, especially stop it against shcholokov, i am your friend, understand, i, and i will not be able to protect you, andropov, your master, will not, he easily exchanges pawns.

i am not a pawn. by the beginning of the eighties in the ussr, two large influential structures converged in the struggle for power and influence: the kgb, headed by andropov, around whom supporters of change were grouped, and the ministry of internal affairs, headed by shcholokov, who advocated the continuation of the previous course. the contradiction between the two power agencies. intensified and sometimes reached open confrontation, alevka-to me with i haven't seen him since, how he sank into the water. well

, yeah, there was a rumor about kostaki, and not a good rumor, like they killed him on shchelkov's own orders, i don't like all this, yeah, it smells like carosin, i immediately felt that he was digging under me, yours, remember, i told you, he offered me a share so that i could lead him to kostaki, then i also expressed myself so strangely, like kostaki would take it anyway, damn, i'm a fool,

i shouldn't have taken icons from him. well, levka is a son of a bitch, if i had him. yeah, and you'd have a board hand over your bike, everything is out of harm's way, go somewhere to england for about six months, everyone stays where they are. here is an arrest warrant for mikhail igorovich koltsov, aka archangel, louis, i will have nothing to do with it, bastard, don't trust these bitches, louis,

here is a... a search warrant for the house of victor evgenievich louis. you are a very serious person, so you must understand that we would not have bothered you without a special reason, which means we had very good reasons for that, i am telling you for the fifth time, i

have no idea what you are talking about here, so so you haven't heard anything about the robbery of your neighbor georgiy kostaki, oh, what nonsense, of course i know, the whole village has been talking about it for a week, well, and you say that you don't understand anything, no, i don't understand, what does this have to do with me. tell me, do you know who academics are, well, of course i do, but i assume that you mean something completely different, that's absolutely right. in the criminal

world, academics are people who prepare very serious and complex robberies, frauds, etc. so, in the kostaki case we took one person who started to confess. and you are interested to know who he named as the main organizer. of this robbery, that is, as an academician, i can't even imagine, you, it's impossible, i'm a journalist, not a robber, but this did not stop you from serving time for speculation, well, as

the french say, it was in a past life, thank god, thank god that we are not france, answer me, please, are you familiar with lev borisovich kazakov? i have no idea, i have completely different information. hello, colonel. hello, colonel. please. since citizen kastagi

is a citizen of another country, the case of the embezzlement is within the jurisdiction of the kgb. therefore, i ask you to immediately recall your people, you shit yourself out of nowhere, you know, who were you afraid of, and this scoundrel the next day printed an article in an english newspaper, the next day. do you know what it was about? unfortunately, i don’t understand english, and you don’t understand a damn thing, nor russian,

an informed source in moscow reports that the recent high-profile robbery of the famous collector georgy kostaki was carried out at the instigation of the personal order of the minister "what bastards, everyone understands that these are geeky things, things, things, and you at least understand that it is your fault, come on, khrustov, kumekkoy, what will you do, and not here in sakhalin you will start sunbathing for the rest of your days, as a road service inspector.

who did this? a stream of dirt poured into the west. viktor louis published entire opuses about brezhnev, who had fallen into childhood, about his son alcoholic yuri and his daughter galina. this information returned to moscow in the form of rumors, which at that time were trusted more than newspaper articles. brezhnev himself could not do anything about it, since he had one foot in the grave. forgive me, are you sure that they will let me out now, without any doubts, you can pack your things, sell the apartment, everything that is done in such cases, but there is nothing special to sell, the apartment

we live in is state-owned, there is no dacha, well then it is easier, less trouble, i am very happy for you. here, this is for you, take it, please, what is this? this is for you, you busybody, you, you have done so much for me, i am not going to take money from you, and then what? nothing, but,

excuse me, for god's sake, forgive me, it's just the shura who recommended me to you, he told me about the money, he even named the amount 2,000, he is a scoundrel, this shura. and he probably asked you to transfer the money through him, that's right, forgive me, i just got embarrassed, i don't know how to do it at all, you did the right thing, and this shura is a scoundrel, he was left with nothing, you are decent man, maybe you're not even... kgb?

no, i'm not a kgb general, not even a private. i'm a journalist with connections, that's all. and i help people, just because i can. maybe it will be credited to me somewhere. it will start, it will definitely start, forgive me, can i ask a question from myself, why are you such a good, decent person, why don't you leave here yourself? thank you, thank you,

the premiere of the series choir, let them run took place on channel one, the creators of the series were inspired by the history of the large children's choir of viktor sergeevich popov. my father no one knows what he experienced after a huge success. in the series, you are the prototype of one hero. nikolaev, have you learned the scores? yes, when the mutation happened, what did you do? zaporozhye, to the airfield, combat aircraft, parachute packer.

the children went to school again stories appeared about how they fall and lose consciousness during physical education, arrhythmia in children, how to protect them from this disease, about this and much more in the program to live healthy, on monday on the first, i ask you, dear, do not persuade me, you hear, all this is useless, but you understand in england. you will be safe, we can buy a house somewhere in cornwall, on

the ocean, it is so nice there in spring, i know, i know, the waves, the sheep, verisk, and what will i do there among all this, they tried to save the sheep, understand, no one needs me there, i will die of boredom there, you will be able to work, it is high time for you to sit down and write memoirs, i don’t want to, you understand, i don’t want to. write memoirs, i want to live, do you hear, live, and not live out my days, fine, okay, but then we must take care of the icons and paintings, chernov said that he would take control of us, chernov said, this is ridiculous, chernov said, i don’t believe a single word of your chernov. it is necessary to export everything to england as much as possible. this is

absolutely impossible. you want to get permission to export a work of art that is the pride of our country. yes, but she is their owner. we have the documents, everything is as it should be. wonderful. here. put it on to your health, but you are categorically not allowed to take it from the soviet union abroad. i repeat, this is a work of art, a cultural value. do you know what that is? national treasure? okay, it's a newspaper, right, do you know such a newspaper? it's the organ of the central committee of the communist party

of the soviet union, there's an article here, so -called. the central committee of the communist party of the soviet union believes that the work of the artist dykov is nonsense, which has no artistic value. do you think that it's a national treasure? so, you don't agree with the opinion of the central committee? oh, you should have seen his face, i thought he was going to burst, and jenny was so calm, the newspaper under his nose, once, quietly, quietly, quietly, jenny,

please do, central committee. the fss, the president of the supreme soviet of the ussr and the council of ministers of the ussr have decided. first: to form a commission for organizing the funeral. now they must say who the chairman of the funeral commission is. comrades anandropov, chairman. antropov, do you understand what this means?

he had chronic renal failure. perhaps, sensing that he did not have much time left to live, he feverishly took up reforms. however , no serious changes in the economy of the ussr occurred. everything was limited to administrative measures to strengthening discipline. andropov managed to crush the remaining political opponents. the head of the ministry of internal affairs shcholokov was accused of corruption, misappropriation of confiscated property, abuse of office.

kidneys failed, and he walked in circles, near the phone, all in vain, you are a gambler by nature, and you know that you and i need to rush to las vegas, yes, if only we could make it. by the way, do you know how the word cocktail is translated. a rooster's tail. and you should always

fluff it up, victor. they inform you with deep sorrow. today i became an orphan for the second time. it was for me a friend, an advisor, a teacher, he replaced my father, always believed in me, i never heard from him, you can't, you won't cope, everything, everything that i can do and know in life, i owe to him. yes, he loved you very much, vetya, and you jennifer, yes, i had

two friends, with one yura chervakov, life separated me. death separated me from this one, i am alone left, what should i do now, i would say work, yes, yes. yes, of course, wait a minute, vitya, this is you, yes, yes,

this is you. i 'm listening, good afternoon, this is chernov, do you remember me? yes, of course, you haven't shown up for a long time, you know, the office has been shaking so much lately that i don't even know what will happen to me next, so i decided to call you while i still can. personally, i've always liked you, in fact, i have some not very pleasant news for you, we've decided

to refuse your services, many people don't like your independence, then this story with the robbery, hello, hello, can you hear me, hello, can you hear me? what's wrong with you, vitenka, vitya, vityush, vitya, can you hear me, vitya, come on, vitenka, yura, go to him, he wants to talk to you.

"thank you for coming to say goodbye, come on, what are you saying, okay, it's all clear, no pretending, we both understand that this is the end, you know, some kind of stupid situation, is that how you imagine our forgiveness?" you don't want me to give a speech now about the importance of viktor ly in the history of the ussr, but no,

i don't want to, he's speaking. it's definitely not your thing, yes , you were an egoist, so you stayed, you want everything, yourself, everything, you know, i 'm better at it, then i've been thinking about my own obituary for a long time, there's so much coverage... important event, i would not like to hand over to other people, amazing, everything around is collapsing, changing, and you are the same, the same, the same, only also very much destroyed changed, although

you survived the ussr. "not for long, though, life is funny, i can't say that the country and i loved each other, but we needed each other, the country is gone, and i have nothing to do either." i'll go where the ussr is, stevens, antropov, prezhnev, yes, yes, you'll just find something to do there, yes, maybe this is your new task, you'll establish diplomatic

relations between hell and heaven. or will you send these jews somewhere? or maybe not everything depends on our biological shell? and how quickly do you communists move from atheism to faith in the almighty. less than a year has passed since socialism ended. and you question the main postulate of materialism, life is a way of existence of protein bodies, you cannot, without a guiding guide, one thing

i know for sure, you ... more than a protein body, well then see you, i hope not soon. it's funny, and his obituary turned out better, victor lui.
