Russia is a place where the rotten apple reconciles all people. Everyone is waiting for your Manifest to break it on the spot into ten quotations, telling conclusively that you're paranoid, comedian and servant of the regime in general. Russia will be touched with feeling. What feeling? Contry, seeing all this, would vomit. But if you want a slogan -
There you are!
There you are!
There you are!
Anyone who plays with a gambler behaves like a whore. Who wants to be cheated - you are welcome, I'm not sorry. Go ahead, play leader, fool other wretched. Today to say: "I am the politician" - equals admission: "I am an accomplice ."

Free - who will run away the first, moreover, without running away.
There you are!
There you are!
There you are!
And if anyone thinks that it's too late to laugh - our specific princedom is very serious indeed. And if you, my reader, are sick of my vulgar tone, because you love the patina of multi-ton seriousness, and if the dispute is abhorrent to you, mutton-head, - in a fit of justifiable pride kiss your rhyme.
