he published a novel, we will consider this meeting in the evening of his memory. "we will always remember you, vanya, we will honor his memory by rising, sit down, on despondency..." a terrible sin, life does not stand still, one left, another came, i want to introduce you to a new member of our team, kirill, hello, and what do you

poetry, but does everything have a right to exist? eh, just don't dance next time. the thought goes away, yes, you know, when i dance because of me, how it flows, where does it flow from in you? i wrote a poem, death ivan krokhina. adolf ivanovich, no need, you read a poem about the plant at the last meeting, now, if you want to say something, say it in normal words, seasoned, in general. talented, listened to my poems, didn't interrupt, it's a pity, of course,

that he died, i don't understand what it means to be good, vanya was a saint, he helped everyone, the library... and he fixed an electric kettle, gave irma a computer, from humanitarian aid, someone else would have sold it, but he gave it, he brought me a sack of potatoes from the dacha, he helped everyone, and who helped him, well, of course, they helped him too, but in what way, why are you looking at me like that, and we still need to check who helped him from... to leave, but by the way, it wasn't me who brought the flask shampoo to the library,

here you go, thank you, tell me, why is that granny so tender? she spoke of the deceased, she was head over heels in love with him, yeah, she's over 60 or even 70 already. so what about the poetess, the bohemian, damn, there's lilya brik, well, that one with mayakovsky, yeah, she was over 70, she fell in love with a director, and he turned out to be not into that kind of thing, she even poisoned herself. you can't understand women, isn't

it either lubricating oil or god's dandelion, this god's dandelion half a century ago her fiancé soaked, and how soaked, to death, the hands of the clock tick, leaving all life behind, a black raven drags my fate in its beak, that all in... i don’t seem to remember her face, she

was so beautiful, please tell me i’m with me, in weekday photographs, and then when she found out that krohin was having an affair, she immediately went over to him, and this young man got jealous, that he was covered in blood, much more. true, it was believed that shura was much stronger as a poet, but neither of them were poets. and what

happened then? yes, shura found out that vanya the book is coming out, i kept walking around, i was indignant, it's unfair, unfair, they even fought. there is no justice on earth, but there is none above. and you are not by any chance a cop, not an investigator, you sniff everything out. never before has a shtelec been so close to failure. i sniff out, you say, so am i. i'm just thinking, should i stay or not , should i stay, you will be our star, we will carry you in our arms, well, for now let him carry me in his arms, here is my house, we have arrived, so without exaggeration, in this backwater literary association passions are boiling truly spanish, carmen suite, so okay, if we sum up what we have, the teacher and yuri chernov left. earlier, young talents

do not count, irma from her wheelchair purely physically could not reach this poison, we also dismiss the baby, he only has poetry in his head, there are two suspects left, shura nosov and raisa karlovna, well yes, shura could kill out of envy, and the old woman out of jealousy, out of envy killed a friend, even a former one, yes, these are creative people, not geniuses, but also with their cockroaches, this ... and incompatible villainy, and they are geniuses, and out of envy people are like that they do nasty things. as for raisa karlovna, i requested the data in the archive, we barely dug it up. the old lady, by the way, changed her surname, in memory of her father, who was killed in stalin's dungeons. yes, she is not an ordinary old lady. in the sixties, in a state of passion, she killed citizen pospelo aa, who was her fiancé. a week before the wedding, he found pospelo aa in her own apartment in the arms of citizen safonova. and what about safonova, gg? well,

she didn't touch her, but she put a stool on the fiancé, he hit the stove, in short, forensic examination found her insane, spent a year in a psychiatric clinic, recovered, returned to civilian life, private disability, work group with restrictions and works part-time at the higher base, and what if they didn't cure her, or relapsed, yes friends, we're marking time on... no one saw who replaced the bottle when, half of the members of the circle don't even remember how they left, fingerprints are deaf, almost everyone left their mark on the bottle, and the bottle of vodka has long been somewhere in the bushes or... so, what are we going to do? slava, try talking to raisa karlovna again, just kindly, i 've drawn on my opportunities. kolya, take shura nosov with you, and i 'll invite the publisher of this maniac's smile. well, maybe he's a friend of the novelist, he knows something that we don't. if you think that

i have anything to do with kroha's death, then you 're wrong. honestly, i care that ivan's book is coming out, but judge for yourself, in troubled times something always comes out, this isn't a novel, this is crap, and you've read it, and what's there to read, everything is clear anyway, and what's going on with you and lelya yermolina? there was something before, and then? what can you expect from a woman? that's why i'm not married, 35, i'm single. and i've been eyeing vanka because i sense money. women always sense where the money is.

hello, oh, oh, rais karlovna, where are you going, rais karlovna, where are you, ah, what are you doing, rais karlovna, raisa karlovna. raisa karlovna, and i'm here, cuckoo, yeah, what's the matter, and turtom, rais karlovna, why are you running away from me? no one has run after me for 50 years, i haven't played snowballs for a long time, nostalgia,

you know, i remembered my youth, my youth remembered. i ask why you are running away from me, and i saw you in uniform and got scared, why are you in uniform, because i am on duty, that's why, if you want, i'll tell you why you came, to find out about vanechka, how smart you are, or if you want, i'll tell you who killed vanechka, come on, come on, muse, who, his muse, what muse? vanya shouldn't have offended his muse, he shouldn't, you don't have a brush, you know, i read his novel, it's such, such, it's

not literature, of course, low literature, you can't make money on high literature now, i'm from ivan i didn't expect it, after all, my little one and i haven't... in short, if the reader is a fool, he'll swallow it with pleasure, and if the reader is not stupid, he'll laugh throughout all 400-odd pages, and if he's not a fool and not too stupid, if he's smart, smart, he won't read it by definition,

vanya was supposed to bring the second book from the same series next week, he claimed the manuscript was almost ready, and we had a signed contract. could you help me? how? it would take too long to explain to the neighbors what i need in his room, no problem with the police. i need the manuscript. no, i'm not going to make money on it, i'd like to get back the money i invested in its promotion. okay, let's see, what will the novel be called? cry for a maniac. no novel. only poetry. it can't be, at least something, there must be, drafts, at least, nothing, if there was a computer, it would be possible to rummage through, it's strange that there is no computer, yes, yes, not even a typewriter. no, did he bring you the material on floppy disks? i asked for laser disks, and he said i have an old model computer, so where is this computer? maybe

he lent it to someone? yes, tell me, after death your neighbor, has anyone come here? my cousin from petrozavodsk after the funeral, but she didn't stay long, yeah, she said she would take over and think about what to do with the room. and the next day he was visiting, that is, you think, what the hell , i should check, okay, i just promised to return the book to her, i'll run into the department now, get some shit, and we'll check.

hello, hello, i'm captain dymov, i was at your place the other day, you recognize me, yes, i promised to return the book, let's go, maybe we'll go, we'd like to talk to your daughter. are you afraid of the police? no, why should i be afraid of the police? i'm more afraid of my daughter , when irma works, you can't disturb her, she gets very angry, dad, kick everyone out, daughter, it 's the police, give me back the book, a maniac's smile, dad, open it, yeah. you too, you deceived me, but why did you deceive me?

i told you that i'm a stirlian, beautiful, talented, you flatter me, and what do you even draw, i didn't know that it was yours, and what else can you do, kolleki? just rip up the paper, why are you doing this? oh well, i've been like this for as long as i can remember, it's from mandatory vaccinations in the maternity hospital, my mother died in nature, and i live, tell me, did krohin often come to you, he came, we had purely friendly relations, yes, by the way, you didn’t tell me, how do you like the smile of a maniac? oh, what a killer title? yeah, well, in general for literature of this kind it’s not bad at all. eh,

to be honest, i’m not keen, but the lieutenant of the shit said that it’s very similar to dantsova. why are you all repeating dantsova, dantsova? but the people swallow it. the people will swallow anything if there’s such advertising. that’s true. and this one krohin gave you a computer? is that a computer? 386 from the first models. you can't even find mice for it, my cat ate the third mouse, how did she eat it, like this, chews the wires like a dog, the computer is old, the mouse is no longer for sale, here's dad wrapped it with tape, you can, you don't have to, don't touch it, captain, look, i didn't appropriate anything. he appropriated it, that is, you worked in co-authorship, but if that's what they call it now.
