get back the next day nikolai heads to a local bank to take out a loan for a new car his old one often breaks down because he's been taking it over country roads but the bank won't lend to nikolai. i don't know why i got turned down or used to get money from the bank before and don't forget to take your documents with you show of course. i wanted to buy a second hand car you know i was going to borrow one hundred thousand rubles about three thousand dollars but the. last time i went there. they told me that there was no money available. in. salute me nothing. better shame. the villages love nikolai and feel a little sorry for him because they believe that his profession will soon be made redundant newspapers letters and transactions are becoming increasingly electronic i have a daughter who is sixteen i think that her generation is unlikely to use postal services we already live in the new century that offers a variety of computer technology so i don't think they will need the post office. some twenty to thirty years from now there won't be a village here nothing will remain as it is n
