Vladimir Vladimirovich Zalesski

Who set fire to the Reichstag? Historical and fantastic tale.


Sergei Sergeyevich read a review about the film regarding the funeral of Stalin. As a result, Sergei Sergeyevich had an very unusual dream.


He sees in dream the extended meeting on the trial of Dimitrov.


- 'What will comrade Yagoda say?'


- 'I offer to exchange of a citizen of Austria Radek and his accomplices on Dimitrov!'


All are silent.


- 'No questions to you, comrade Yagoda...'.


- "What will comrade Yezhov say?"


- 'I offer to exchange comrade Dimitrov to enemies of the people from the German Autonomous Republic.'


Silence.


- 'There are no questions to you, comrade Yezhov...'.


- "What opinion does comrade Beria have?"


- 'I propose strengthening the work of the Special Committee. In order to expedite the work, I request that I be reassigned to the post of Head of the Special Committee.'


- 'This question we will consider later...'.


- 'What will comrade Abakumov say?'


- 'According the results of the radio game organized by counterintelligence, it was revealed that comrade Dimitrov will be acquitted at the Leipzig Trial!'


- 'Keep working, comrade Abakumov!'. '(For a time ...)'.


Assistant comes: "General Staff on the line!"


- 'Hello! Report ... When the flag will be set, report!... Act!'


- 'Comrades! The General Staff reported - the enemy capitulates!'


Participants of the meeting are exchanging views in a lively manner.


The second assistant comes: "After meeting with diplomatic representatives, comrade Vyshinsky arrived."


- 'Come in, comrade Vyshinsky. What 's your opinion?'


- 'I propose to dissolve the Comintern and to begin preparations for the Potsdam Conference'.


Everyone turns to Vyshinsky and looks at him in silence.


Sergei Sergeyevich woke up and washed himself with cold water:


"I didn't see Dimitrov in dream ... for some reason...".
