Maxim Gorky, originally the lumpen and vagabond, having become a classic of Russian literature and a rich man even before the revolution, came to the Bolsheviks and told them: "I hate the bourgeoisie and the nobility due to own mere origin! You guys are harsh, and I will help you financially." So, he became the main sponsor and, therefore, the main culprit of the October Revolution, as well as the cataclysms that followed it around the world.
After the revolution, Gorky, as the honest man, became disillusioned with the Bolsheviks for deceiving the population of Russia, and went to the island of Capri to play chess with Mussolini. Mussolini, thinking about the next move, somehow nostalgically says to him: "Alexey, do you remember how I lost in chess to Lenin, to the now deceased eight years ago, but still won in the next game !?". "One, you, a gang of scoundrels!" - Gorky muttered gloomily in Russian, whose position on the board was awful.
The then world chess champion David Bronstein, who did not know physics very well, asked his famous friend, physicist and Nobel laureate Albert Einstein: "Can space exist without things?" Einstein, who was not weakly drinking, pondered, but looking at the opened bottle of cognac, he said: "Whether need a bottle without fill !?".
