Never Ponajotychu - always sympathised with Baranovu, and. From outside it seemed to all that Misa - the typical loser. It
had huge possibilities, but has missed the life. An as has somehow told:
- Let's fill to it a refrigerator beer that it did not beg for banks foreigners, we will buy to it the maid, a sofa wide that he on a
folding bed did not sleep. We will do profit on its brains!
But how many buy to it of beer or firm cigarettes, it will beg all the same. And the maid... What to it the maid? To it forces on
the folding bed to scramble. To it, seemingly, interestingly another. Here years it already is a lot of writes the ingenious novel.
In a room at it from a floor to a ceiling of a pile of books and a pile of folders with papers. If he does not write the novel, it
would protect all what only it is possible, dissertations. Would receive the highest scientific degrees, professorial and
academic ranks, would occupy a heap of supervising posts. It he endowed all for the sake of the outstanding novel and
carried on itself a mark of the typical loser.
- Anything, - liked to repeat Misa, - still will punch my hour!
Then it again will be Michael Ponajotovichem as during an epoch of peak of the career in Ministerial council, only literary
mission he considered incommensurably as higher, than official career. It will be twice Michael Ponajotovich. Or three times.
But it - when will punch its hour. And today I should to Misu wash, dress and bring in office Volchkova.
23. A nominee of Volchkova for the permission of our situation has offered Tuzovsky. To me as Ases, it was necessary to
obey to the subordinate though I personally would prefer to deal with Igor Hramtsovym. But still it is not known, Hramtsov on
our offer would agree or not, and here Tops has obviously lighted up.
When As has got into a mess with the equipment from Antwerp, it has lost all savings. To it "have included the counter" that
is called. In a blank despair it has arrived then in Peter with words "think up something", such was accessible, kind, native.
Though to think out especial anything and it was not necessary, the decision lay on a surface. However, those years the life
in the conditions of business in Russia only began, and that is clear today as day then it was perceived by the original, bright,
talented, unexpected decision.
The decision - idle time: to find the enterprise interested in release of newspaper number devoted to it and ready an exit of
this number to pay. At me the idea at once has come up - to go with this offer to Igor Hramtsovu, but something kept me from
a similar step. I too valued relations with Igor to risk them. And risk to spoil relations was. Tuzovsky without ceremony could
"throw" Igor, maybe, and not outright, not vnagluju, but the As necessarily though something yes will steal: or the paper at
newspaper number will be cheaper, than in the estimate of expenses, or the circulation is less, than in a caption. In
newspaper business it is a lot of openings for a profit though from outside it both do not guess, and do not suspect. I did not
want, that it though concerned with any side of my relations with Hramtsovym.
And when Kohl Tuzovsky has led me to Volchkovu, I have sighed with simplification. And we have thought up the decision
idle time, anything in it surprising is not present for today, but for those years - ingenious: the large exhibition in Lenexpo came
nearer, Tops has been interested to present on it the firm and the production so number will be - in English!
