Kontorovich despite the successes achieved. Despite the progress made

Kontorovich Alexander

In spite of progress made

(Imperial-2)

"Despite our progress,

The operating environment remains challenging…”

The ritual mantra of the ATC leadership, pronounced

usually at the annual wrap-up meeting.

I ask everyone to sit down, gentlemen! - the owner of the office, a short, plump man, gestured to those who entered the comfortable chairs. - Get comfortable and let's get started!

The plump man's name was Boris Grigoryevich Kamensky, and he held the post of adviser to the president. He rarely appeared in public, even the ubiquitous media did not pay much attention to him. He passed them under the column "And other officials." He did not give an interview and did not attract any attention to his person. It was not even really clear what he was doing and what he was doing. Well, he sits in a large office on the Old Square - that's how it should be according to his position. He himself very rarely went anywhere, and even in order to invite someone to his place ... somehow they never heard of that at all. It was all the more surprising to receive a polite request from him to visit his office for a consultation.

And the composition of those invited ... also caused some bewilderment. Why, for example, in one case was the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate and the head of the police invited, and in another - only the latter? And why are some areas invited and others ignored? There were vague rumors that the heads of some regional departments of the FSB had previously received a similar invitation - but everything was quiet there. No information was received from there, the office traditionally did not share its inner secrets.

Similarly, the agenda of the meeting was also kept secret. Well, at least the topic was somehow voiced - but no! Complete uncertainty! So, for life to talk ... But, of course, no one believed in this.

That's why there was some tension in the air, implicitly - but present. They sat down, talked quietly, nodded affably to their acquaintances… and waited. Something unusual and, frankly, frightening.

Is everyone settled? - Kamensky looked round the guests. - Do you have any wishes? Coffee, something to drink? Don't be shy, you're not at an operational meeting with the minister, we're just talking...

By the way, but the minister ... he is not there. Kind of weird…

You, presumably, have already asked yourself the question more than once - why were you all invited? I will not torment anyone with uncertainty. Actually, I am only interested in one circumstance - the phenomenon of the so-called Imperial ... Not those reports that are sent daily to the top - but your personal opinions. What is not reported in the reports to the Minister.

So ... Here it is - a bell! After all, it was hard for many! The heart felt - this Volin will still hiccup - and more than once!

So, gentlemen? Who will start?

Hmm, easy to say - who? Who? In some way - lie on the embrasure. And reluctance...

There are no applicants? Well, well... then, if you don't mind, let's start with the list... or not! Here we have the chief of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ivanovo region sitting here - we will ask him first! Please, Major General! Don't be shy - there are no strangers here!

Plump Major-General of Police Rakhimov got up from his seat.

Well… I'm a bit unprepared… I mean, exactly on this issue.

But, Mr. General, you are not required to provide a full and detailed report on all aspects of this problem! - the owner of the office spread his hands. - Personal opinion - nothing more ...

Well ... if in such a context ... - Rakhimov shrugged. In principle, it was he who least of all the others had reason to at least somehow worry about himself. For no one was a secret of his long and close friendly relations with the Minister of the Interior. Yes, and with some, so to speak, "national leaders" and "merchants" - here, too, everything was good and solid.

What can I say about this issue? It does exist, yes. There is such a phenomenon. But, gentlemen, I think that he is not the first! There were all kinds of "robing hoods" before him, how without them? But do not go anywhere - those who survived are sitting. And this one doesn't last long...

And what do you think, Ilyas Mukhamedovich, does he have the support of the population?

There is. Someone always supports even the most complete scumbags. Money has not become superfluous to anyone, alas ... And here it is no exception. We just recently took such assistants, yes ...

Yes ... in general, they failed to take it alive, alas ... According to our information, they were just waiting for Volin himself - he was supposed to arrive there ... He did not come, unfortunately.

Didn't come at all?

Oh no.

Excuse me, but what about the head of the tax service of your region? As far as I know, he seems to have died soon after.

Well, yes. He shot himself ... - reluctantly admitted the general.

Yes. Three shots from a pistol in the head ... it happens ... - Kamensky nodded. - And right in front of him he put a big list - when and whom he unreasonably pressed down there ... and in whose interests. This, presumably, his conscience so tortured?

The prosecutor's office issued a conclusion - suicide, - the general frowned. We have no reason to suspect that they...

Well there is no way! - the presidential adviser unexpectedly agreed with him. - And these are the Imperial comrades-in-arms who didn’t make it alive - did they work off the money they received in such a way? And how many of them were there?

Not really. Dollars - a little less than five hundred. Thirteen thousand rubles, and so on - even little things.

What about weapons? How much did they have?

Uh-uh ... there were machine guns, pistols, sawn-off shotguns ...

Does the assault carbine "Benelli-Super-Short" now pass the category of sawn-off shotguns with us? - Kamensky was surprised.

With four machine guns, two assault carbines and a dozen pistols. Mmm-yes... they got it wrong... but "only the auxiliary corps has a Benelli-Short, even our special units don't have it, right?

So, - agreed Rakhimov.

Those present froze. Something went ... in a word, unusually went, wrong. This has never happened before. The head of the Internal Affairs Directorate read out the ritual “footcloth”, emphasized his achievements, repented of his shortcomings, received the due share of cones. Or buns - it’s up to the top to decide in advance ... and everything went on as usual. But now ...

And what were the losses? - the presidential adviser looked at the general again.

Well ... we have three wounded and one shell-shocked. The auxiliary corps had eight people killed and five wounded.

And three - it is very difficult ... - the owner of the office nodded. - M-m-yes ... wow, but we pay our fighters much more! And they fight - much less effectively! I don’t understand, now we need to either cut our special forces and cut their salaries, or hire them! They fight for money, don't they? They don't care which side they're on, right? What do you think, Mr. General, will they come to us?

They won't.

Well... it's not just money. They just help the Imperial sometimes.

Why are you messing with my head then? Can't you just say this right now? Mr General! We are not at a children's party! And we don’t play a fairy tale for youngsters!

Rakhimov inhaled noisily and turned purple.

Okay, Mr. General ... - the adviser waved his hand doomedly. - Sit down already ... you, if my memory serves me right, are a big specialist in fishing?

Yes! - The head of the Ivanovo Department of Internal Affairs looked at him with a challenge. Everyone knew that he often fished even with the Minister of the Interior himself. And with many other equally important and significant people.

Did they even write a book about it?

Wrote!

Uh-huh… read, not bad, even quite… True, some journalist helped you there… probably ran for pens… sometimes. Well, Mr. General, I hope that your next book will be no less interesting. And fascinating. Moreover, no other duties, with this moment starting, Mr. Rakhimov will no longer be disturbed. Well, unless you have to go for a pension ...

But this was completely unheard of!

Rakhimov looked at his opponent incredulously. And he, not in the least embarrassed by the interlocutor, picked up the handset of the "turntable".

Hello? Yes, Mr. President, it's me... Quite right. Yes. As I expected. Of course, Mr. President. There is - General Rakhimov, head of the Ivanovo Department of Internal Affairs. Former? Completely agree with you!

Kamensky put down the receiver and raised his eyes to the general.

That's it, Ilyas Mukhamedovich! The president, it turns out, is also already aware of everything! So... - he spread his hands regretfully.

As the door slammed behind the former general, the adviser looked back at the gathering. But - a completely different look.

I hope, gentlemen, you all understand me well? Or does anyone else need to explain that all the jokes are in the past? You have to work, gentlemen generals! So - who's next?

Same day.

Somewhere in Moscow.

An inconspicuous office in a government building.

And you, dear Oleg Nikolaevich, want to say that our positions in this area have been lost so seriously?

Yes, Mr Barlow. I would say - they are almost completely lost.

Hmm ... I confess, my friend, I somehow find it hard to believe in this ... Our leading analysts have calculated all possible scenarios more than once or twice, and ...

Once again, they sat down with their forecast in a puddle! Or do you have other, unknown to me, data? I would be interested in seeing them...

But we have considered everything! Even the prices for vodka in the lost village! By the way, they were deliberately reduced, which in itself brought us a significant financial loss - after all, these amounts had to be transferred to your Ministry of Finance, which was concerned about such losses ...

- ... where they were immediately stolen ...

But, nevertheless, - to a fig!

Your analysts, Mr. Barlow, have once again squandered your own money. They do not understand anything about Russia, despite their scientific degrees and numerous diplomas. The people - did not sleep! And he did not become indifferent to everything, as your wise men predicted. I don't even know why, but it's true!

And this is far from the most important loss! All of us, including your organizations, have spent a fantastic mountain of money in order to instill in the population the idea that the entire Russian army is a bunch of stupid people and idiots. That a normal person should not - just under no circumstances, look at a soldier otherwise than as a loser. And what do we have in the bottom line?

So is it bad?

Worse - just nowhere! From somewhere, all sorts of ...

Books enlighten the soul, uplift and strengthen a person, awaken the best aspirations in him, sharpen his mind and soften his heart.

William Thackeray, English satirist

The book is a great power.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Soviet revolutionary

Without books, we now can neither live, nor fight, nor suffer, nor rejoice and win, nor confidently move towards that reasonable and wonderful future in which we unshakably believe.

Many thousands of years ago, in the hands of the best representatives of mankind, the book became one of the main weapons of their struggle for truth and justice, and it was this weapon that gave these people terrible strength.

Nikolai Rubakin, Russian bibliologist, bibliographer.

The book is a tool. But not only. It introduces people to the life and struggle of other people, makes it possible to understand their experiences, their thoughts, their aspirations; it makes it possible to compare, understand the environment and transform it.

Stanislav Strumilin, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences

Not the best remedy to refresh the mind, like reading the ancient classics; as soon as you take one of them in your hands, even if for half an hour, you immediately feel refreshed, lightened and cleansed, uplifted and strengthened, as if refreshed by bathing in a pure spring.

Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher

Those who were not familiar with the creations of the ancients lived without knowing beauty.

Georg Hegel, German philosopher

No failures of history and deaf spaces of time are able to destroy human thought, fixed in hundreds, thousands and millions of manuscripts and books.

Konstantin Paustovsky, Russian Soviet writer

The book is magic. The book changed the world. It contains the memory of the human race, it is the mouthpiece of human thought. A world without a book is a world of savages.

Nikolai Morozov, creator of modern scientific chronology

Books are the spiritual testament of one generation to another, the advice of a dying old man to a young man who begins to live, an order transmitted by sentries going on vacation to sentries who take his place.

Without books, human life is empty. The book is not only our friend, but also our constant, eternal companion.

Demyan Bedny, Russian Soviet writer, poet, publicist

The book is a powerful tool of communication, labor, struggle. It equips man with the experience of the life and struggle of mankind, expands his horizon, gives him knowledge with which he can make the forces of nature serve him.

Nadezhda Krupskaya, Russian revolutionary, Soviet party, public and cultural figure.

Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.

René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and physiologist

Reading is one of the sources of thinking and mental development.

Vasily Sukhomlinsky, an outstanding Soviet teacher and innovator.

Reading for the mind is the same as physical exercise for body.

Joseph Addison, English poet and satirist

A good book is like a conversation with an intelligent person. The reader receives from her knowledge and generalization of reality, the ability to understand life.

Alexei Tolstoy, Russian Soviet writer and public figure

Don't forget that the most colossal tool of all-round education is reading.

Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher

Without reading there is no real education, there is not and cannot be any taste, or a word, or a multilateral breadth of understanding; Goethe and Shakespeare are equal to the whole university. Reading man survives centuries.

Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher

Thanks a lot for the release.

It was added just the other day if I'm not mistaken 11.02. The 3rd part suggests itself, but obviously not soon. The author switched to another work.

As if the book is complete. And the fact that something was cut out there at the request of the editors means that it must be so, and in this form the book will go to print.

Quote:

I found it on SI, the book was not published in full at the request of the editors before it was released on paper.

This is a common thing, part of the book is taken down from samizdat at the request of the publisher.
But the net-library still has the full version (pulled from samizdat before the demolition of part of the text).

58092952 The book is a graphomaniac of the lowest kind, for teenagers and people with retarded development of the intellect - that's it. As for the ideological aspect of the work. "Patriots" like Kontorovich are salivating, of course, or they write stupid orders - this is not science fiction and does not lie nearby. But if you figure out what countries are post-Soviet space? Computers are not ours. Household appliances are not ours. Our cars are not listed. Innovative technologies in construction, manufacturing, etc. are not ours. Where do children of officials go to school? Is a bunch of stolen grandmas invested in their own country? Here is the decaying west. You might think we go nuts what a prosperous east. What can we be proud of in front of them? Tolstoy, Pushkin and exaggerated patriotism.
If all of the above is suddenly taken away, then what remains of the "patriots" in the bottom line? The space program, which remained at the level of the 80s, tanks and hunchbacked Cossacks. Well, and cheap patriotism, of course, which, apart from some of us, is of no interest to anyone. We can't do better or better. This must be honestly acknowledged. But how much piety some have ...
Well, who really is a patriot, read Adamov- Winners of the subsoil. You will vomit and will let you in with patriotism. And 30 years ago, for the ideals of this book, you or your parents would have been just as ready to bite anyone's throat.

LexxEagle1, this is not the author's patriotism and not your review of his work, and you and he state what is happening in the country from two different sides.
