The Sketch how Sergey Sergeyevich tried to meet with the great diplomat and became a reader of the Main Library of the country


Sergey Sergeyevich gradually began to understand that elections to the Main City Duma are approaching.

"This is an important event!" "We need to think about the Kuril Islands!"

Sergey Sergeyevich found out where the office of the great diplomat is and went to the appropriate address.

"I intend to ask when the Declaration on the inadmissibility of the transfer of the Kuril islands (under any circumstances) will be issued !"

Sergey Sergeyevich comes to the office of the great diplomat. Before entering, he was met by several young people. ("I guess Old Believers (Old Ritualists)", - Sergey Sergeyevich thinks - "From Brazil, they, apparently, are back...").

Young people explain to Sergey Sergeyevich that the great diplomat is very busy. "There are a lot of problems with Ukraine!"

"Yes, Ukraine is not easy issue!"- Sergey Sergeyevich agreed and went home.

Several expensive cars passed by Sergey Sergeyevich. Sergey Sergeyevich thought that behind the glass of one of the cars he saw a great diplomat, philosophically looking at the world (he saw the great diplomat several times on TV).

A few days passed, and Sergey Sergeyevich's thoughts moved from the Kuril Islands to Ukraine and the Kerch Strait.

"We must ask when the negotiations on the Kerch Strait will begin!"

Sergey Sergeyevich again went to the office of the great diplomat.

This time he was met by a queen of some beauty contest (beauty competition) and kindly explained that the great diplomat is very busy with the problem of the Kuril Islands: "It is very important to achieve a visa-free regime!"

- Yes, the Kuril Islands need attention! - Sergey Sergeyevich agreed  and went home.

Goes he home, by foot, and doubts: "In "full" will be a visa-free regime? Or will the visa-free regime apply to the border areas? Japan is a relatively small country. In Japan, probably, either everything, or many territories - border areas? If there is a visa-free regime, then residents of Japan will go to the Kuril Islands. Not just go, and will go in an organized manner and with external funding. And where there will go the Russian citizens - from border territories? To the Kuril Islands? They can go also without visa-free regime there (though, perhaps, there are special rules of visit of the Kuril Islands - border nearby)... The Russian citizens - from border territories - will go to Japan? For this purpose noticeable money is required... Not all are familiar with Japanese... The country with absolutely other traditions, in any other manner lives, other culture... Japan - not Europe..."

Several expensive cars passed by Sergey Sergeyevich. Sergey Sergeyevich thought that behind the glass of one of the cars he saw a great diplomat, philosophically looking at the world.

"I will go to the beach! An entrance on city beaches - free, and services cost money... I will take 5000 rubles from under a mattress." "I will order a sunbed! I will enjoy rest!"

"Hey, coachman, drive, brother, to Yar,
Drive, the brother, horses!"

"To the metro on foot 10 minutes, 40 minutes by metro, another 40 minutes by trolleybus... In two hours I will reach!"

"And if the beach is closed - due to the deterioration of the quality of river water?!""It is better to not take 5,000 rubles from under the mattress, and a fishing pole!"

"I will go to catch fish!"

"But where? And how to catch fish now?" "Rules many new adopted!"

Sergey Sergeyevich saw that he was walking next to the Main Library of the country.

"How much time did Lenin spend in European libraries? He was preparing for a revolution!"

"I will be a regular reader of library too - it is necessary to understand well rules of fishing".

Sergey Sergeyevich enrolled in the Main Library of the country -  became a library reader, and went home.
