"We tried hard." "Yes." "So is it here?" "Yea, it's right on your table." "Well the media plan is confirmed." "But we have to think about last weeks when the tension will grow." "We should insure ourselves." "Have you spoken to Igor Leonidovich concerning ...ah...emigrants' issue?" "Yes I visited him and we have spoken about it."

"You would play the violin in the opposite apartment." "Actually, I used to live there, Sasha." "I would dial your number and your granny would always pick up the phone. I didn't know what to do." " So I ended up throwing stones at your front gates." " Bright idea." "Afterthat I dialed your number quickly, you picked up the phone." "We talked a bit, discussed some stuff." "I don't remember what exactly we talked about but I do remember that the music you had played was irritating." " Did I play not very well?" " No, you were spectacular!" "Yea, sure." "What's the name of the music you played?" " l think it's Caprice by Paganniny." " Very capricious." "Capricious?" "Come on Sasha." "Anyways, after our conversation you've curtained the windows and started to undress." " No way." "Yes way." " No I haven't." "Yes you have." "You were literally driving me nuts!"

"Belov, I'm afraid. lt will be pity if they arrest us here." "Just imagine: a politician and wife are accused of burglary." "Sounds pretty normal, doesn't it?" "Everything can happen to a deputy." "There you go." "Be careful, stairs over here are pretty steep." "Be careful." "I can't believe this." "Macedonians radionians." " Nothing has changed over here." "You think so?"

"I don't think that a person can be more hardworking than Alexander is." "He works from 6 AM till 6 PM for years already." "What more can I say?" "Obviously, we'd like him to spend more time with us." "Would you like us to give you some jam?" "We have gathered berries for it on our own." "Vanya, what are you supposed to talk about?" "About the zoo." "My dad and me are gonna go to the zoo tomorrow, wanna come with us?" "We realize that Sasha is very busy." "But we'd like to spend more time with him, because we miss him a great deal." "Would you like us to give you some jam?" "My dad and me have gathered the berries on our own." "Well." "Not bad at all." "The only thing is that my wife shouldn't speak for such a long time." "I love her a lot, of course, but it's way too much."

"The guys found about the printing house where the leaflets were stored. I'm thinking maybe we should pay them a visit?" "Max!" "What the hell are you talking about?" "It's very provocative."

""Gangsters try to take over authority"" "Who's there?" " Open up." "Ok, just a second." "To put it shortly, we'd waited for 3 days." "Belov didn't react." "So when it was dark our guys got there and made a pogrom." "Where are you guys from?" "Vladimir Evgenyevich, you wanted to sharpen the problem?" "We did." "Anyways, I gotta go." "By the way, don't miss the press conference tonight. lt promises to be interesting." """Elections to the Russian State Duma.""" "Our publishing house exists for 30 years already." "But we haven't ever been subjected to any kind of pressure or violence." "Also, I'd like to add, that no material valuables are missing." "Why would criminals break into a printing house and destroy some leaflets that were aimed against Alexander Belov?" "I'm not judge or jury, but you are free to make conclusions." "Do you realize that it's a serious accusation?" "What does the leaflet content?" "Have you got any specific evidence that Belov is guilty?" "I'm not the one who can answer this question." "As you can see this leaflet contents some information concerning Belov's involvement in organized crime." "Basically, this event proves the fact that Belov belongs to some kind of a criminal organization." "We don't buy it!" "Don't give us all that!" "And stop yapping, is it a press conference or what?" "I believe we all are members of a civilized society." "Ladies and gentleman, please, just one more minute." "I would like to inform you that the person that can prove the information stated in the leaflet is in this hall." "Yes, thanks." "One, two." "My name is Arthur Lapshin." "In 1991 Mr. Belov and his brigade blackmailed me." "When I refused to pay them money my family and I were subjected to threats and insults." "We didn't have any choice except to leave the country." "Mr. Belov not only deprived me of my business but also of my homeland." "That's the reason why I'm here." "I flew from another country to warn you." "I am also ready to provide you with reliable evidence." "A victim of abortion." "What are we gonna do?" "Does he really have any reliable evidence?" "Are you kidding me?" " Feels better." "See, Alexander Nikolaevich, if voters will believe that you were a criminal, the elections will be lost." "What the fuck're you talking about!" "Do you think it's true, do you think it's not photomontage?" "Look at this face" "This guy builds cathedrals, he has a wonderful little son." "Do you think these eyes aren't honest?" "Look at these eyes carefully and remember how much money do you get!" "So, do your job!" ""Our future is in our hands."" "Did you put it in every single one?" "Two of us will go upstairs, two will go downstairs." "Let's move." "Who is there?" " Housekeeping..." "Lady, lady don't be afraid." "My name is Timur and I represent Alexander Belov, a political candidate to the State Duma." "Have you got any complaints?" "Does the ventilation work well, how about the water pipe..." "Do your neighbors treat you well?" "Yes." "Lady, lady, lady." "Ok, let's do it fast." "Hello ladies!" " How do you do?" " My congratulations!" " Thank you!" "But on what?" " On a great person who is running for elections!" "His name is Alexander Belov!" " ls he married?" "Yes." "He sure is." "He's a great person!" " How many kids does he have?" " He has a son!" "What does he do?" "He helps people!" "Builds cathedrals!" "Here, look carefully;" "such a good, honest person!" "He helps people, builds cathedrals!" "Do you get your pension on a regular basis?" "No." "We promise that you will get it regularly!" "OK, guys, bring the gifts over here!" "To everybody!" "Just remember his last name is Belov!" "Oh, you know, he's very busy right know..." "Getting ready to conversation with the voters." "I'm very sorry, please call back in the evening." "Thanks...are you working, Sash?" "Aren't you tired?" "What?" "Working hard" "Oh, ok, this stuff is getting on my nerves." "Yea, by the by, it's easier to fight with skeletons if you use a poleaxe." "Take a look at the weapons I have." " Hey, do you want me to call the dragon?" " l'll give it a try." " Ok, try." " A bit higher." " Sash." "What?" "Come on, stop paying." "Be quiet, Olya." "Let me finish, Olya, Olga, please keep quiet." "Please Olya!" "That's it I'm gonna call for the dragon." "Well, lieutenant colonel. lt reminds one of some kind of detective story. I don't think public debates will help." "Yes they will. ln fact, the debates are his last chance to get elected." "And this won't be useful, that's for sure." "What do you mean?" " The bike show." " Daddy, d'you remember this trick..." " Sasha." "Max." "I told you there won't be any dough Wednesday!" "Got it?" "I don't give a shit!" "Yeah, you, moron." "Seems like everything is ok here. I'll go upstairs." "Look there, the little boy wears a raincoat today." "Tolya, give me the lighter...these kids are having fun." " The numbers shown on a bigger scale." "Where did you get this?" "We bought it." "Sasha, everything is ok upstairs, I'm heading towards the terrace!" "Yeah?" "How are you?" "..." "Fine, aren't you?" "Well, our whole family enjoys watching it." " Mommy, what's going on?" " Nothing, honey, it's just a game, remember?" "Your operator sucks." "He can't shoot a film properly." "Now, we will play a game." "Let's go and see what daddy is doing." "Hello." "Everything is clear, Sasha." "Max call to Schmidt and ask to send 5 of his guys over here." "Tell Cosmos and Bee to head to the office. I'll come up later." " Got it." "Very well." "Sash, what are we gonna do?" "Don't worry." "Everything will come around." "Well, your mom helped you to undress; now it's your turn." "Come on, it's not fair." "What, Bamby, want some?" " Everything is gone." " Tolya, they call it ""black money""." " lt's a good box." " How much money does it contain?" "Name?" "Yes." "Cosmos Yurevich." "Your premonitions did not let you down." "What should we do next, boss?" "I think we should resist." "What's the point?" "They won't let you, anyway." "Formally, they are ""clean"" and you are the sacrificial lamb." "If you will become a politician their plan fails." "I realize that, Cos and I don't fricken care." "Moreover, I am ready to oppose but I can't make this decision on my own, because it will affect every single one of us." "Either we back off and live our lives as we used to before, either we make them respect us." "That's all for me. lt's up to you, guys." "What's you opinion, Pchelkin?" "You know what, if you get elected to the Duma, later become a President and make me a Minister of Finances, I will go to the US and meet Sharon Stone." "Then I agree." "You've got only one thing on your mind" "He exactly knows what he wants." "What about you?" "May I tell you an old parable?" "You will overcome everything. I believe in you." "We will live long and happy lives." "Good evening, gentlemen." "Good evening, Vladimir Yevgenyevich, feel yourself comfortable" "Should I sit here?" " Please, take a sit." "We start broadcasting in 10 minutes." " That's great." "Do we have to shake hands, Volodya?" "What's important is that one's hands should be clean, you know." "Powder Vladimir Yevgenyevich just a little more." "Ivan!" "Vanya..." "Sit, sit down...what's wrong?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Time has come!" "Lord, why are you sitting?" "Go and call grandma." "Granny!" "Grandma!" "Where is the control panel?" " lt should start now, grandma!" "What is wrong with it?" "Let me see!" "The batteries have discharged!" " Don't speak so loud." "Hurry, hurry." "I'll turn it on without control panel" "Olya." "It's just a light drink, grandma." "God, sit here, be quiet." "Ten seconds left." "Three, two, one, go!" "Let's watch it." "Good evening, dear friends." "The heroes of this show today are Vladimir Kaverin and Alexander Belov, both candidates who aspire to position of deputies in State Duma." "I'd like to say ""hi"" to my family, my wife and my son, who are watching TV and keeping their fingers crossed." "...as much as my potential voters." "Thank you, Alexander Nikolaevich." "Please, Vladimir Evgenyevich, your question to the opponent." "How do you link wildly propagandized ideas of social equality and equity with so-called business of yours?" "Your question is interesting but it's out of date." "Thanks God, times of the Soviet Union have sunk into oblivion." "The time has changed and it has its own rules and heroes." "I believe that is mostly important." "I belong to the first category of people." "Also I'd like to add that the fund headed by me, sponsored the construction of two cathedrals from very beginning until the very end." "Currently we support three charity projects." "The fund plans to sponsor such vitally important fields as sport and active rest for kids, whose families are in need I am sorry to interrupt you Alexander Nikolaevich." "But we should stay on our topic." "Please ask a question to your opponent." "Well, my question is rather personal." "Why have you retired from the Police Department?" "I have worked there for eight years and, needless to say, I got to do a lot." "But still I wasn't able to put into prison persons that deserve to be convicted." "As we can see, some of them are getting more and more prosperous." "You failed to answer my question, sir." "Why did you retire from your job?" "Do you obey the law?" "Ok. instead of asking me about my relationship with the law would would you tell us about your business, which breaks not only civil but also criminal law." "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" "I will share this information with great pleasure if you tell us how did you appear appear in Chechnya and on whose side were you fighting the war." "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" "I think it should be interesting for the voters" "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" "Please maintain a proper way of conversation." "Unlike Mr. Belov, I'm ready to prove every single word of mine." "Every single one. I claim that Mr. Belov heads a criminal group." "Some members of that group are present in this studio!" "Moreover, Mr. Belov was suspected in a murder and by chance, I repeat, by chance escaped the fair punishment." "Ok. I just want to clarify foryou, Maxim and for the voters that" "Mr. Kaverin has been citing the leaflet named ""Gangsters try to take over Authority""." "From my point of view, first he published it and afterwards he got rid of the copies." "Knowing that this event will stain my reputation." "Maxim, I d like to show a film instead of asking next question." "I believe it should dispel all illusions concerning the personality of my opponent." "Yes." "Sure. it doesn't contradict our rules." "The film, please." "Go ahead, Lena." "My friends, Hiroshima." "I don't understand!" "What's wrong?" "Cartoons?" "Lena, turn this stuff off, now!" "What are you waiting for, dummy?" "Pardon us, ladies and gentlemen, we've got some technical problems." "Oh, my Goodness!" "Please, get ready." "We'll start broadcasting in 5 seconds." "Dear TV viewers, we bring you our apologies." "They say a live broadcast has always been a pretty challenging thing." "Pardon me, Maxim, I feel sorry that Vladimir Yevgenyevich failed to stigmatize me to shame." "May I do that by myself?" "I hope it doesn't contradict the rules." "No, it doesn't, seems like our debates are getting more and more sensational." "Please." "Which camera should I look at?" "This one?" "Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and voters, dear opponents and companions." "It is quite possible that you will be shown some kind of a film." "What does it contain?" "I don't know. I assume, that there shouldn't be anything illegal in this film, because otherwise I would be in the prison right now." "And we wouldn't be able to talk." "Anyways. I'll be honest with you because I respect you. lt's true that sometimes I had to deal with different types of people." "It's also true that I faced some extraordinary situations when I had no choice except to break the law." "The question is what kind of person are you and what do you want to accomplish?" "Probably, all of us are willing to live better in our country, to raise children, to think about prosperous future, etc." "Although, some of us choose to live fast and challenging lives, others prefer to do differently." "And that's ok, because everybody should be able to make a choice." "Now, concerning illegality in our country." "The fact that lawlessness in Russia comes from the authorities isn't a secret." "Because when the political power is corrupted it can't govern the state, chaos starts to rule." "Therefore, as a political candidate I promise, I will do everything to stop the chaos." "Probably, you are thinking, who is he, this Belov?" "Why is this guy so sure of himself?" "I know the answer." "You have seen lots of commercials, lately." "All those people spoke about me." "There were 8, 10 of them and we could shoot thousands of commercials." "In those commercials people speak different things about Alexander Belov." "Some of them support me, some don't." "But everybody says that I have always kept my promises." "I'm always responsible for my words." "Now, it's your choice." "Thanks for attention." "The day after tomorrow this story will be over." "Let's meet in my ""Balchug."" l've got something to talk about." "Yes, bye." "Good luck." "Sasha spoke with a great excitement today." "I almost got inspired." "Nobody knows will the people understand him." "Fellas, your opponents are a bunch of losers!" "Good for you Antosha." "FABCl is looking for you." "And Butirka -for you." " First think, then say." "You, guys!" "I didn't mean to offend you or anything." "Well, nobody drinks for the luck." "Sash!" "What?" "Are you celebrating already?" "Guess: somebody who looks the same way all the day." "The answer is Sasha White." "Smart girl." "Finish up." "Time to have dinner." "Coming." """Days before elections""" "According to the Russian laws the parliament consists of 450 deputies: 225 of them represent one-mandate districts;" "other 255 are getting elected through federal districts."

"Taking frankly about this candidates, Kaverin obviously has more chances to win the election." "Alexander Nikolaevich lt's known that he used to work for the Department of inner Affairs and voters will, probably, prefer his candidature."

"He promised to better lives of people, to provide houses to families-in-need, to pay the pensions and allowances." "But people in our country don't believe that a candidate after becoming a deputy will keep his promises." "Obviously, Kaverin will become a deputy." "Yes, yes." "Ok." "Well, my friends." "Attention, the latest news from the election committee..." "Alexander Nikolaevich ...we got this information only a couple of minutes ago." "The 16th voted for you." "The final count revealed that Belov gets the majority of votes." "Therefore the deputy of the State Duma becomes Alexander Belov." "Yes!" "Such an unpredictable change proves that our country..."
