I was listening to our president and recalled Jerzy Lec:

“I am so full of optimism that I can’t take any more of it.”

What didn’t Dmitry Medvedev promise us! “Intolerance toward corruption…improvement of housing conditions…nurturing of the personality already in school…normalisation of the situation in monocities…” And also about agriculture, modernisation of the economy, flights to other planets; reducing taxes; raising the quality of school education…

Of the new – a possible abolition of the switches from summer to winter and a reduction in the quantity of time zones. And – applause, applause, applause…in the spirit of the times of Brezhnev.
