The Story how Vanya Zhukov tried to express opinion about the "Kerch negotiations"
Vanya Zhukov ran through the streets of the capital of the Latin American Republic. He delivered pizza.
Vanya from a news learned that a diamond worth 45 million euros was stolen, in Paris, from the ex-presidential candidate of Guinea .
To Marie Madeleine Diubata met in Warwick hotel in the 8th district of Paris two people who were presented themselves as gemologists from Russia, big experts in the field of gemstones. "Experts" made diamond assessment, having noted that the cost of a stone is equal to 45 million euros, and provided to Diubatya the certificate. Then, when she did not see, malefactors changed diamond and gave to the owner a box with a fake. The woman soon understood that she was robbed, but men by that moment already managed to disappear.
"Dexterously!" - Vanya did not cease to be surprised.
A car stopped next to Vanya. Comrade Friend kindly invited Vanya to the car and offered:
- Express your opinion on the prospects of negotiations on the international legal regime of the Kerch Strait! I have a few spare minutes.
Vanya decided to approach a question from a broad view on a subject.
- In Paris a diamond worth 45 million euros was stolen from the Guinea politician ... Vanya started to speak.
Suddenly the phone rang.
Comrade Friend picked up the phone:
- We are just discussing with my adviser the prospects of negotiations on the international legal regime of the Kerch Strait!... My Advisor is nearby... in the car... Speakerphone on.
At first there was silence. Then the voice of the great diplomat said:
- Your advisor is not well versed in the situation. We should start not with talks about the Kerch Strait, but with questions about the language - about the Russian language. Every cultural person is familiar with the words of I. S. Turgenev: "In the days of doubt, in the days of painful thoughts about the fate of my country, you are the only support for me, o great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language! If not you - how not to fall into despair at the sight of all that is done at home? But it is impossible to believe that such language was given not to the great people!'
- What despair can be? - Vanya spoke skeptically. - Let's not forget about the signing in 1936 the Montreux Convention ...
- Russia supported the decision of the United Nations General Assembly about the termination of control of Great Britain over islands Chagos in the Indian Ocean, taking into account the principles of decolonization and of equality! - the great diplomat parried. - The UN General Assembly on Wednesday, May 22, 2019, by a majority vote adopted the resolution (it was initiated by the Republic of Mauritius) about the termination of control of Great Britain over islands Chagos in the Indian Ocean. 116 countries, including Russia voted for the document. 6 (including the USA and several African states) voted - against. 56 member countries of the UN refrained, among them there were Canada, Germany, France. The permanent representative of Great Britain at the UN Karen Pearce said that the British authorities are disappointed with the decision of the UN ...
- Of course, Turgenev created the poem in prose in June, 1882 ... But even after 1882 there were some changes ... Such subject ... a little a debatable ... - Vanya spoke out in an uncertain form. - N.N. Miklukha-Maclay believed what occurs from Scot Mikael Maclay. N.N. Miklukha-Maclay lived in New Guinea much ...
- The history demands studying. For example, the ancient history of Guinea is not studied. In the Middle Ages some parts of present Guinea were a part of the empires of Ghana (the VIII-IX century) and Mali (the XIII-XV century). At that time the territory of Guinea was inhabited by various tribes, the most numerous were a mandinka, to a dialonka, Sousse. Nomads cattle-farmers - fulba - were settled in the 16th century on the Fouta Djallon plateau (the fulba of 32% in ethnic structure of Guinea now)! - the great diplomat said.
- Guinea is one of the main producers of diamonds in the world, - Vanya showed the competence. - Yesterday a bad persons stole diamond worth 45 million euros from the Guinea female politician!
The great diplomat some time was silent. Then, he hung up. Comrade Friend was silent. Finally he said:
- Thanks! I think it is useful to have an exchange of views! Revolution and caution!
- Russian language and Mauritius!
The car of comrade Friend stopped in the place coordinated with Vanya.
Vanya continued to deliver pizza.
In the evening Vanya settled down in a chair near the pool. Coffee, cigar, fruit.
"The Latin-American doubloons are more reliable than the Guinean diamonds!"
Vanya's wife came up to the pool in a new bathing suit.
Vanya looked at his wife with pleasure.
"How it in the Pushkin's verses? "I remember a wonderful moment!...""
