" Well, 147 roubles." "Sent by some Barykin." "We see." " Take it back." "Gentlemen, I'd rather leave now." "I got frozen a little bit." "Wait!" "The country must know its stool pigeons." "We seem to know the majority of them." "I've already heard this catch phrase." "Now what?" " I don't know." "He says that there is a letter for me, but I should come after the break." "Bastards!" "I've urged you for a long time to refuse working if they play tricks with your letters." " They'll cook up a second term for me." "It is so cold out here today." "Come on in." "Pals, what do they serve as the main dish today?" "Have you already had lunch?" "Is it worth eating at all?" "Did you receive so much money that you don't need any free lunches?" "Forget it." "1470 roubles." "Now these lunches don't matter for you." "What thousands are you talking about?" "Look!" "Right." "It is 147 roubles." "Strange." "It should be one hundred and fifty." "Then go and eat your lunch." "Bastards!" " And what about you?" "Are you trying to earn early discharge on our blood?" "What did you lack here?" "Me?" "Are you damned mad?" "Excuse me!" "Comrade Major, we have an emergency." "Voronin shows to everyone his wire transfer receipt for 147 roubles." "He's already blown up Lybimichev and four more people." "Is Voronin one of our people?" "He's ours." "Don't do it right now." "Catch him unaware." "Ask the colonel to summon him and seize him there." "The scoundrel deserves a bullet." "I'd better leave now." " Come on." "If I learn anything else, I'll let you know in the evening." "Any blueprints to be burned?" " Yes." "How many?" " One." "Anything to be officially burned?" "No, nothing." "Anything to be burned?" " Yes." "How many?" "Two spreadsheets." "Here they are." "Larissa Nikolaevna!" "Yes." "Would you mind going to to the mechanical workshop and finding out what happened to Order 114?" "Is that all?" " And do it quickly." "Let us be honest." "We've always missed this kind of congregation." "It makes me so happy." "I mean we need such gatherings where we can freely bond and share our thoughts." "There isn't anything equal to that outside." "Do you agree?" "There is no happiness out there at all." "Right" " I'll join in." "Let's drink for this very inner freedom." "I do solemnly swear that I'll never forget the examples of true spiritual greatness that I've seen here." "And I'm proud of having here at my modest anniversary celebration such a chosen group of people." "Let's drink for the friendship that is capable of flourishing even inside prison walls." "It is so strong that I can hardly chew it down." "The meetings were famous as we all gathered at Nikita's place or at the dwelling of the cautious Ilya." "What's this?" "It is from Eugene Onegin poem." "Petr, the liquor is very strong." "How did you manage it?" "Yeah, it is really strong." "Well, the interaction between the labs contributed a lot to it." "We put some coffee in it." "In my case, it must have been chocolate." "Or might I have forgotten the taste of coffee?" "The night is so nice." "What about your paintings, Ippolit Mikhailovich?" "Are they officers taking them for the decoration of their houses?" "So-so." " What?" "Do they require you to produce a new painting every month?" "If it is a still life painting like a freshly cut melon decorated with grapes, it becomes an instant hit" "If I paint a frozen creek in late November, they refuse to take it." "If you paint an oak, it mustn't be bushy, it is not allowed." "You must paint a crippled oak on the very edge of a high rock" "And there is a feeling that it was affected by every storm throughout its centuries." "Is anyone interested in Othello or Yago?" "It is because you have to blow it up." "The evil is immensely oversized." "All these notions are outdated." "There is already no need for writing the words "good" and "evil" in capital letters." "What's outdated?" "Evil has suddenly become outmoded?" "It grew to its real size in our century." "Shakespeare witnessed only a small fraction of it." "There are so many innocent victims." " But not all of them are meek." "I used to know other in the past." "Good and evil must be marked with five-story-high letters." "In the camps people used to trade the remnants of their conscience for half a pound of bread." "No camps should break the inner strength of a man." "You haven't been to the camps yet." "Don't rush to your judgments." "Your living conditions determine your state of mind." "It is hideous and humiliating." "What should we live for then?" "It is not clear what is really primary." "Does the life mold a man into its ways or does a strong man mold it into his design?" "Every man is born with a certain inner essence." "It is his core." "Each man carries an image of perfection." "It might be obscured, but it is there." "You should go to the studio of Ippolit Mikhailovich and have a look at the Graal Castle picture." "It is one of the images of perfection." "But must Carthago be destroyed?" "The sooner the better." "Is anyone willing to spend days in the strict confinement locker?" "Don't forget about me." " My friends," "I have a toast." "It is striking in its originality." "Is it a toast for you?" " No, it is not for me." "You still have some stuff left." "You don't drink it at all." "I propose a toast for the image of perfection." "What a toast!" "For perfection!" "Have you heard the sound?" "The stuff is fairly strong indeed." "Thanks." "It is noteworthy that even Lev and Dmitry agree about it." "It has never happened before." "Once we came to an agreement that adultery is not permissible for women, but it is permissible for men." "Some men might also disagree." "And this man declared back then that it is permissible even for women." "Did you say so?" "Me?" " Confess right away." "Yes, I did." "I won't take my words back." "Well, what a dandy!" "How can you compare these things?" "Gentlemen, I'm an early riser." "I'm really falling asleep." "The body forms themselves and different modes of having sex prove that the difference is huge." "It goes much deeper than that." "It is the great design of the nature." "A man is pretty indifferent to the quality of women." "He's obsessed with increasing their quantity." "Thai's why there are so few women unnoticed by men." "And this is the main virtue of being a Don Juan." "And women root for quality." "Their adultery is the search for quality." "That's how they improve their progeny." "Would you mind changing the topic?" "In theory Gleb is right." "I'm prepared to fight for the equality of sexes." "But I'm not prepared to embrace my wife after some other man caressed her." "It is biologically impossible for me." "Lev Grigorievich, there is a simple way out of this situation." "Don't embrace anyone except for your wife." "Pals, it is a pity we didn't raise a toast for our people." "What's that?" "Our people is not only a community of Russian speakers." "Yeah, some of them speak your language." "Our people is not just a community of people speaking our language." "It includes the chosen ones marked with fiery sign of being geniuses." "The individuals form the people not by their birth or works of their hands by their education but by their souls." "Every man forges his own soul for himself." "With every year it gets stronger." "One must try to develop it to the really human state." "Only this can make you a part of your people." "Such a soul usually doesn't bring to its beholder any success in the life." "It doesn't promote him to high positions or immense wealth." "And that's why the common folks rarely make it to the top of the society." "Who is Pryanchikov here?" "I am." " Come up to me." "Should I take my garb?" " No garb." "Sign here." "What's the matter?" "There is a parcel to you from our minister." "Sign over here over there and over here." "Have your parcel." "Have a good night." "Well, gentlemen, let's have some good tea now." "Bravo!" "Nerzhin's friendship with cleaner Spiridon was gently nicknamed by both Roubin and Sologdin a populist travel." "in the search of this great grassroots truth that was the subject of previous vain searches of Gogol," "Nekrassov, Hertzen, slavophiles and populists" "Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy, and utterly misinterpreted" "Vassisoualy Lokhankin." "Spiridon..." " What?" "I've been longing to ask you a question." "But I want you to understand me right." "I wanted to ask you about your life and your wanderings." "Your life is pretty twisted." "And you're not alone in your search." "You've been tossing around looking for the fifth corner." "It can't be that simple." "What do you think?" "Could you tell me what criteria... again this gobbledegook... what measure is applicable to the life?" "Tell me whether there are people in this world who seek to be evil?" "Are there people who indulge in hoping to cause evil?" "Are there people who want to squeeze the life out of others?" "There hardly are such people." "We all want to do something good or think that we nurture good ideas." "We all make mistakes." "And it turns out in the long run, that we keep inflicting only pain upon each other." "People intend to do something good and end up with doing evil things." "For example." "Suppose you're making a grave mistake and I want to correct you." "I'm telling you about it and you don't listen." "You're trying to shut me up." "What am I supposed to do?" "Should I hit your head with a stick?" "It may seem right right." "But what if it only seems to me that I'm right?" "What if I've simply made myself think that I'm right?" "Suppose I pushed you down and take your place." "Now what?" "I'd only multiply a number of corpses." "Now what?" "Can you interfere if you're not sure that you're right?" "Or can't I?" "In every war every warring side considers itself right." "Is it possible for a man to distinguish the good and the evil?" "How should I put it?" "Let me phrase it for you." "A wolf hound is good." "A cannibal is evil." "What did you say?" " Get it from me." "A wolf hound is good." "A cannibal is evil." "What are you trying to scratch down?" " Clever thoughts." "My thoughts?" " Whose else might they be?" "It turns out that I'm a clever man." " You really are." "Danilych, I'm serious." "Both Roubin and Solodgin weren't looking for this grassroot truth." "They possessed the knowledge of one perfectly transparent wisdom." "Roubin knew pretty well that the notion of the people is an invented one." "It is an incorrect generalization." "But in fact peoples are divided into social classes." "And social classes themselves replace each other." "It was equally clear to Sologdin that the people are the indifferent historical clay that is used for making rough, thick, but necessary legs for the colossus of spirit." "Mark every day of your life with a definite move." "Nerzhin!" "Nerzhin!" " What?" "Gleb, where are you?" " I'm here." "Where are you, Gleb?" " I'm here." "Let's go." " I'm already coming." "In order to be closer to the common people, a well-educated prisoner Nerzhin didn't have to dress down and feel for his way in the darkness." "He was kicked out into the midst of the people, without even letting him change his oily trenchcoat" "He was simply told to fulfill his allocated norms." "Nerzhin shared the fate of the common people not as a condescending and utterly alien in his difference aristocrat but as one of them as an equal among the equals." "He did it not to get himself attuned to boors, but to earn his daily slice of wet bread." "Nerzhin had to learn the knack of driving nails down with one hammer hit and adjusting one wooden plate to another." "After this severe camp school" "Nerzhin understood that there wasn't any need for him to descend to the people." "It turned out that the common folks didn't have any specific grassroot advantage over him." "Yesterday the deputy minister came to the institute" "And what did they do here?" "They created a new taskforce." "Where are they working?" " In the Party Committee room." "In the Party committee room?" "Attention!" "All prisoners within the next three days are to submit to Major Shikin lists of their direct relatives in the following format:" "the number of an entry full initials of your relative the relationship degree, a place of work, and the home address." "Direct relatives are defined as your mothers, fathers, official wives, sons and daughters born in the registered marriage." "All others including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces." "grandchildren and grandparents aren't defined as direct relatives." "Starting from January 1, all letters and appointments will be allowed only for your direct relatives, explicitly named." "Besides, starting from January 1, the volume of a monthly letter mustn't exceed one A4 sheet of paper." "Do you mean an A4 from a math workbook?" " Yes." "Why isn't there any regulation concerning the size of our handwritten symbols?" "Happy New Year, gentlemen!" "Cuckoo!" "Now they want us to report on our relatives." "Bastards!" "Many of them have to cover up their relations with us." "And now we'll have to file police reports on them, don't we?" "Direct relatives?" "What about our sisters or grandmothers?" "You can't do that." " Don't they have them all filed?" "Good afternoon!" "I want to learn more about the work of your group." "You can't." "Why?" " You're not granted access to it." "Then send for prisoner Roubin." "Not allowed." "That's the end." "Yakonov speaking." "Summon to me prisoner Sologdin from the design bureau." "And don't admit anyone else to my office." "Sologdin..." "Dmitry Alexandrovich." "Have you summoned me?" " Hello, Dmitry Alexandrovich." "I'm very glad to see you." "Take a seat, please." "You seem to have cooked up a surprise for all of us." "Last Saturday" "Vladimir Yerastovich examined your design for an absolute encryption device." "Be seated, please." "Thanks, I'd rather remain standing." "I've looked through it briefly too and can't wait talking to you about it." "You're mistaken, Anton Nikolaevich." "I've put a lot of my efforts into this design, but my achievements that you saw are quite imperfect due to my humble intellectual capacities." "My dear chap, lei's drop all this modest frills." "I managed only to have a glimpse of your design, but it was enough to admire it." "And Vladimir Yerastovich who is our supreme arbitrageur lavished it with many compliments." "Now listen, I'll declare a no-admittance time." "Bring your blueprints here." "Accompany them with your computations and let's work on them." "You're mistaken." "If you want to, we'll invite Vladimir Yerastovich." "Anton Nikolaevich, it was a draft." "It was not worthy of your attention." " All right, we'll see about it." "Bring your blueprints here." "The draft doesn't exist anymore." "Upon finding a number of grave mistakes in it." "I incinerated it." "Have you incinerated the designs yourself?" "No, I submitted them for the incineration in the proper way." "Today was a draft incineration day." "It might still be intact." "No, it was destroyed to ashes in the barrel." "I saw it through a window." "Have you ever seen that?" " Yes, I have." "I've seen all that with my own eyes." "Dmitry Alexandrovich!" " What?" "Are you a Muscovite?" " Yes." "Would you mind coming up to this window?" "Do you see that bus stop behind the barbed wire strip?" "Do you?" "It is a 30-minute ride to the center of Moscow." "You might board this bus in June or July of this very year." "I even assume that you might go to your first vacation next August." "You might go to the seashore." "And enjoy the swims there." "Dmitry Alexandrovich, is it long since you went for a swim?" "As far as I know, it is forbidden to prisoners." "Why not?" "I used to swim when I worked as a lumberjack in the camps." "Lumberjacks in the camps rarely enjoy their swims." "Especially in the North." "We both would end up there." "Yes, me too." "I'd be sent to the camps if the clipped speech device is not ready in time." "Unfortunately former prisoners can never forget their past." "Dmitry Alexandrovich, you must restore everything." "Listen, I can't imagine a man who might not wish decent life for himself." "Why do you want to die?" "Would you mind explaining to me why you burned the designs?" "Do you have any ideas about it?" "I don't understand kamikazes." "Comrade colonel!" "I'm too humble." "No one knows me." "I didn't want to lose my freedom for peanuts." "Suppose I hadn't burned the design, but brought it to you ready and shining, wouldn't our colonel, you, Foma Gourianovich or any other official have pushed me out to the camps and sign the design with any other names." "I remember such things having happened." "It is so inconvenient to lodge any complaints from transfer prisons." "We're stripped of both paper and pencils." "The petitions end up on wrong desks." "That's why I did it." " I agree." "Being once dispatched to a transfer prison, a prisoner can never be right." "Will you restore the designs?" "My own design will take me three days to restore." "In a month you'll be able to get the full technical documentation and necessary computations." "Will that be OK?" " Have I heard it right?" "One month." "My dear friend!" "It calls for a celebration." "The Armenian brandy." "The vintage stuff." "Very good." "I recommend you to down a tumbler." "OK, let's drink." "Between us engineers let's drink for our luck." "But you've just told me that it had been a rough draft where you found enormous and deadly mistakes." "The shortage of both phosphorus and oxygen sometimes plays very bad tricks on me." "A dark cloud covers me." "Help yourself to this." "The food contains both phosphorus and manganese and potassium and all the necessary elements of the Periodic Table." "In this case I'm joining Professor Chelnov." "My blueprint design was absolutely correct." "Sir, you've gambled in a very risky way." "The events could turn the other way round." "I don't think so, Anton Nikolaevich." "I think I have a clear vision of the situation around this institute and around you too." "The devil is in the details." "His Majesty the Great Random Event." "It very rarely comes our way in this life." "And you have to seize it just in time and in the middle of its back." "It is tasty." "It is very tasty." " I'm glad you liked it." "What will our further actions be?" "I'd like to exclude Foma Gourianovich from the very first step." "I see your point." " He's the man who is fond of co-authoring other people's work." " I agree." "You're not contemplating anything like that, are you?" "You're right." "I'd like to remind you that the blueprint hasn't been restored yet." "Now, if you value my project, find a way to report about me to the minister." "I can hardly get that high." "I'll try to reach the deputy minister." " At least so." "But let him sign the order on my appointment to the position of a chief designer." "This is a reasonable request." "I'll start working after that." "We'll form a special taskforce." "I fully support your approach." "Have some more food." "You'll need good nutrition." "I appreciate your understanding." "But I must leave now." "I'd like to thank you colleague." "Not at all."
