– And you also did not spoil it. – Luda told unambiguously. – You just told the truth about Russian kitchens, and all. – then Luda told. – That all of us about this kharcho say yes, at us what, there are no other subjects for a conversation?
Zhora agreed
– Of course is.
– There now. – Luda told. – let's talk about something that to all of us will be interesting to three.
Zhora immediately steamed.
– I all hands, FOR.
– I too for.
They looked at Emmanuel. That sat at a table, and ate kharcho. Of course she felt ill at ease. She on a visit told that a table bad. The cooked food – shit. And all because she since morning was hungry. How here not to be angry with itself? Continuous a look from a plate of soup kharcho, it told:
– It agrees.
***
It is difficult for me to judge it acts Emmanuel, nobody will answer this question unambiguously: "why Emmanuel at a table was such what she was also any another?". It is obvious because she was really tired. On a visit at Grigory Ivanovich she solved: "it appeared in this apartment not casually. It was brought cunning there". She now also did not understand why it together with Grigory Ivanovich provided it this apartment? It for them absolutely foreign woman. The woman, which Luda if this her real name, brought to this apartment. To the apartment down the street Yablochkova д No. 18: "who were all these people actually?". Emmanuel did not know it. She addressed Zhora, having asked him about what it was interesting to it to know, namely:
– Tell why we?
Without having understood a question, Zhora having made a perplexed face, asked:
– What forgive? It you now about what?
– Well … – made Emmanuel long выжидающею a pause. – I mean – having made the next pause, she asked. – why we?
– This question puzzled Zhora. He once again asked:
– You it about what?
It seemed that Zhora does not understand what asked him Emmanuel about. It had such person that from outside was it seems that it expresses full bewilderment and misunderstanding of what wanted to ask his Emmanuel about.
Emmanuel seeing that Zhora cannot still understand what she wants to ask him about, it is burdened having sighed, said:
– What all of you men are dull. – it having made a pause, having grinned asked. – Why you decided to help us? Because we are women or because of what still?
Zhora immediately steamed:
– You were pleasant to me at once – then he added. – Emmanuel.
Women exchanged glances. Both of them knew, and Luda in particular that Zhora approached them not accidentally, and not casually helped them. And the fact that he sat and waited for them on a bench at an entrance, spoke about much. Now women knew precisely that it was pleasant to Zhora Emmanuel. He did not even hide it when he talked to Luda, and Emmanuel kept aloof. Having learned that it to be pleasant to Zhora, to Emmanuel out of purely human and purely female curiosity asked:
– And what you found interesting in me?
Luda immediately asked as if foretelling quite difficult answer to it. Each person, and in particular women want to learn, than they are pleasant to men, continuation of their relations, or in this case their conversation depends on their answer.
– Yes, that?
Zhora looked at both women who waited for the answer. However, on their look it was possible to understand that they do not wait for the answer, and demand it from Zhora.
Zhora having looked at Emmanuel, having estimated her beauty and shortcomings, and having analysed everything together, told one word which the man in this situation, or its analogs has to tell.
– I do not know. – it having made an ambiguous pause, added. – You are pleasant to me, that's all.
Women exchanged glances the friend with an arch. They understood that Zhora did not want to speak about beauty and if they were about shortcomings Emmanuel. It was simply what is indecent on the attitude not only towards Emmanuel, but also in relation to Luda and all women on this planet. Each woman be she a beauty or the ugly creature, with all the shortcomings, will not wish to listen from the man for what it was pleasant to him. Women are attractive to men in itself as well as to the man's women. Nobody wants to know for what we fell in love with other person. It is simple to us to be pleasant it. As sexopathologists speak: "we are attracted in each other by fluids". Can they and are right. For us remains a riddle why to be pleasant to one one type of people, and another another. And how many scientists struggled with this riddle, all the same they will be able unambiguously to tell what is "APPEAL". How does it work in our brain? As we find those with whom we want to live all the life. We will never answer this question if we are attracted by the partner or the partner. Fluids are ours desire to be pleasant to our second half and if these fluids are identical with that person to whom we are pleasant, and it to be pleasant to us, it also is – love.
Luda immediately steamed:
– How it? Do not you know? – it having made a pause, asked. – But something in it is pleasant to you?
Zhora having gloomy looked at Luda, asked:
– Tell if I tell that I like you, you would cease to ask me about why it was pleasant to me Emmanuel?
Luda frowned. Maybe Zhora was right. Luda the same, as well as Emmanuel was pleasant to Zhora Zhora. Now, looking at Zhora, Luda about herself thought: "why it? Why I? I what, Emmanuel is worse? I am not worse than it at all, and on the contrary, it is better than it. better it in everything. Well Zhora found in it? Of course it is in own way beautiful – as well as all women, but nevertheless, than it is better than me?.". Arguing on this subject, Luda was angry. Was angry purely in a feminine way for the fact that it was pleasant to Zhora it, and Emmanuel. She wanted to understand what in Emmanuel is it that is not present at it. She wanted to find out it, and asking Zhora a question which sounded on extremely measure provocatively: "yes, that?". She wanted to receive definite answer from Zhora: "by what is Emmanuel more attractive than it?". "What is in it it that it does not have?". Women will agree with me that the female envy – is fraught. Now, when Zhora asked Luda this question: "tell if I tell that I like you, you would cease to ask me about why it was pleasant to me Emmanuel?", Luda wanted to lie. It of course liked Zhora, but to deep disappointment and a regret Luda it was pleasant to him Emmanuel.
– Well. – Zhora kind of continued emphasizing the correctness. – I am right?
Luda having looked at Zhora sad and at the same time a look of a full regret and chagrin, Luda admitted:
– Just for me as the woman it is a pity what you chose me, and her.
Emmanuel put the hand on her palm and as if consoling her she told:
– Let's forget all that now occurred. – it having made a pause, told. – look at the street – a decline. As he is beautiful – a decline.
Luda having looked at Emmanuel, told:
– What you good. – it having slightly smiled, self-critically added. – All of us are women – bitches. As we will see more or less normal man, and he is already busy. Well here to tell, bitches, bitches also are.
All three sat at a table. Outside the window grew dark. The sun already hid behind gloomy mountains of houses, the last beam leaving the sun peacefully lulled the town houses of Moscow standing in a row. Everything abated. Moscow prepared for sleeping.
Chast-II
Chapter-6
History
Outside the window grew dark. The sun already hid behind gloomy mountains of houses, the last beam leaving the sun peacefully lulled the town houses of Moscow standing in a row. Everything abated. Moscow prepared for sleeping.
Emmanuel got up because of a table, and approached a window. Looking at a window at this magnificence of paints leaving the sun, Emmanuel told:
– I saw many declines in Europe, each of them was unlike another. – then she addressed Luda sitting at a table. – Lyudmila. – she told it is courteous. – I for the first time in this city, show me it.
– Well. – Luda answered. – I will show it to you. – then she added. – I promised you.
Zhora having looked at women, told:
– Night Moscow – is beautiful! – then he added. – You will not regret if you see it in its gloss of night stages. – then he asked. – To me to go home or how?
Luda hurried hinted:
– We would like that we were accompanied by the man.
Zhora immediately steamed:
– I assure you that you will find your defender in my person.
Soon after a dinner all three went outside, to the yard. Emmanuel had high spirits. She wanted to fly, flit in the sky as if a butterfly. Having got into the car on forward sitting Emmanuel asked the satellites:
– Where will we eat?
Luda having got into the car, told:
– We will show you at first the center.
Zhora having got into the car on back sitting, told:
– The Moscow center, probably the most remarkable place in the city. Moscow also began with it once. – then he took an interest. – Emmanuel? And you know when Moscow was founded?
Emmanuel shrugged shoulders:
– About two hundred fifty years ago? – she told it is not sure. Then it added. – It was constructed, apparently, by Dolgorukiy?
Zhora understood what Emmanuel badly knows when and under what circumstances Moscow was constructed. At schools speak about it a little. Only what pupils from the school program, and only have to know.
Zhora decided to correct this error. He told:
– What? Of course you are foreigners you can not know when Moscow was founded. – he made a long pause, and then continued. – Moscow! – he told beginning the story. – The first annalistic a mention of Moscow is the indication of the Ipatyevsky chronicle on Friday on the fourth of April, one thousand hundred forty seventh when the growth and Suzdal prince Yury Dolgorukiy accepted in the town under the name Moscow the friends and allies led by Novgorod – the Seversk prince Svyatoslav. – then he added. – As for two hundred fifty years, you obviously confused this date with one more significant date. – it having again made a pause, added. – Date basis of St. Petersburg Pyotr the first. On the twenty seventh of May one thousand seven hundred third years. – it finished the story.
Emmanuel became inconveniently. She on the confusion or illiteracy mixed two significant dates. Date – year the basis of Moscow, and date – year the basis of St. Petersburg. How could it confuse these two dates, considerable for history of Russia? Moscow was really founded much earlier than St. Petersburg. Moscow is nearly eight hundred fifty years old, and St. Petersburg this year was two hundred ninety years old, soon – three hundred.
– To me it is so inconvenient. – told Emmanuel, and kind of in justification she asked forgiveness. – I mixed two dates. Excuse for this disrespect for history of Russia.
Luda exchanged glances with Zhora. Both of them understood that this reservation is connected simply with ignorance of history so, which. What is learned at schools, is quickly forgotten. History by and large is necessary to nobody. We remember only recent dates, approximately in hundred or two hundred years. As for profound history, here full disrespect for history. We remember nothing, we know nothing, and guides in the museums tell us the text of an excursion learned by heart. Will you try to argue at them something besides the excursion program? They will goggle at us the eyes, and will send us there where sends the Russian people of each other, and maybe further away.
Luda, understood Emmanuel. Of course, it is possible to be mistaken in any of dates. It was in the first turn – the foreigner. And it history of Russia was plowed up by the teacher only in the general for the school program knowledge. Agree, in most cases we are incapable even to call the capitals of all states in the world on the planet – the earth. What to tell about significant dates in the history of the planet when we know own history by hearsay.
Luda consoling Emmanuel told:
– All of us can be mistaken, anyway. – then she told, for example. – Here will tell I. – it having made a pause, told. – Ask me for example, all states of the USA, I will not call them. Ten biggest, and their more than forty. – then it, having made a pause, added. – And Russia! How many here is autonomous areas? I do not even know. – it having slightly smiled, added. – What to be upset? All of us sometimes are mistaken. There is nothing of that kind reprehensible.
Emmanuel having looked at Luda, slightly smiled, and seemed to her that from her heart the stone fell. She with relief sighed, and admitted:
– I too for example do not know all districts of Paris. – then she added. – though I there sometimes live.
Seeing that Emmanuel after his story about Moscow became sad as it whatever you may say mixed two dates, in a consolation Zhora told it:
– Do not mourn. – it having made a pause, continued. – I am a historian. I teach students in MGIMO. – then he added. – how many to me time had to hold exams at the blockheads, most of them do not know when to a throne there ascended the Tsar. All for some reason claim that the first Tsar in Russia was Pyotr the first, but it not so. – it having made a pause, added. – All for some reason forget about Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny. But also those who say: "he was the first tsar in Russia", are mistaken. Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny. It was венчан on the kingdom in one thousand five hundred forty seventh. As sovereign всея Russia and grand duke Moscow Ivan fourth Grozny. He was венчан a tsar, and accepted a full title: "Veliky sovereign, to Bozhiyey favor tsar and grand duke всея Russia, Vladimir, Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Ryazan, Tver, Yugra, Perm, Vyattsky, Bulgarian and others". – it finished the story about Ivan the Terrible, and passed to the pervo-tsar. – The first Veliky Knyaz Moskovsky Ivan the third proclaimed himself the tsar. The wedding already went to the kingdom from Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny since one thousand five hundred forty seventh. From a dynasty of Ryurik dynasty, Vasily the third and Elena Vasilyevna Glinskaya's son. Ivan the fourth nicknamed subsequently Ivan the Terrible was born in one thousand five hundred thirtieth when to his father Vasily to the third, was already for fifty. As for Ivan the third. – it having made a pause, collecting thoughts to the necessary course, lived. – He was called Vasilyevich too. Also Ivan Veliky. Given rise on the twenty second of January one thousand four hundred fortieth years, and rested on the twenty seventh of October one thousand five hundred fifth years. – Zhora finished the long and interesting story about the first tsar. At the end he added. – So neither Grozny, nor Pyotr the first were the first tsars, and Ivan the third, just as is known as Ivan Veliky. Given rise on the twenty second of January one thousand four hundred fortieth years, and rested on the twenty seventh of October one thousand five hundred fifth years.
Having listened to Zhora, Emmanuel having estimated his knowledge in the history of the Russian country, thought. She thought now of what in fact nobody for certain knows who was the first tsar in Russia. Someone considered that Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny was the first tsar, someone considers that Pyotr great "FIRST" was the first true tsar. History the state of Russian knows many tsars and queens. How many revolutions were those times of troubles when there was a cruel race for power. The monarchy – so call governments of tsars and queens. The last emperor All-Russian was Nikolay the second of "Novels". All know its tragic destiny. Revolution of the seventeenth year. Ipatyevsky house, execution. Then ended thousand-year board of the monarchy. Instead of it dictatorship of the proletariat came. Dictatorship of the proletariat held on till August eighteenth, one thousand nine hundred ninety first, and the twenty first day of the same month and number Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin became the first president of Russian Federation. The monarchy consigned to the past, Russia accepted democracy. Imperial traditions were forgotten, parties were formed. Parties which were united in one party – United Russia. But nevertheless? If Russia was the monarchy of the millennium, then why it is democratic now? The answer to this poll it is necessary to look for board of the country in democratic system. But nevertheless the answer to this question is simple: nobody wants to let go the power, and to give to her lineal heirs tsars especially. Yes as under the law you will make it? They already subject other states. And it is fraught …
