The Short Story about the academician Tarle in a deep thoughtfulness
Beria came into an office-room and felt that Stalin is not happy.
Stalin with irritation went along the office-room.
- Why the academician Tarle does not finish and does not send for the printing the book about Hitlerite invasion to Russia? - Stalin said.
Beria quickly got the sheet of paper from the folder.
- Comrade Stalin, I report, - Beria began to read further the text from a leaf.
- "The academician Tarle having taken the book from the shelf. Opened the work "Tarle E.V. Three accidents. Westphalian peace. Tilsit peace. Peace Treaty of Versailles". ...
Further he began work on the manuscript.
He turned on the computer, loaded the text editor.
Wrote: Manzhouli, Korea, Afghanistan.
Then went online and opened the text of the Contract between the Russian Federation and Ukraine about cooperation in use of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait of December 24, 2003. He selected the first paragraph of Article 1: "The Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait historically are internal waters of the Russian Federation and Ukraine".
He performed operation of "copy-paste", transferred the selected paragraph to the text of the manuscript.
Then he thought deeply.
Now he is in a condition of deep thoughtfulness".
Beria finished reading the text of reference and requested instructions:
- There are bases to take measures, comrade Stalin?
Stalin approached the huge map, directed a view of the Asian region and thought deeply.
- Allow to continue implementation of your instructions, comrade Stalin? - Beria asked, having waited several minutes. It seemed to Beria that Stalin inclined the head in agreement. Beria left the office-room.
In a reception the secretary looked at him, made the entry in the log of visitors and in thoughtfulness looked at the made record.
Beria in thoughtfulness went to the car.
In his office-room in deep thoughtfulness the academician Tarle sat, having begun work on the next manuscript.
