Zagogulina of Levant and Vanya Zhukov. The story.
For several nights, Vanya Zhukov had the same dream. He visits the Great Diplomat. He, Vanya Zhukov, puts forward the concept of the Levantine Zagogulina.
"What if on an imaginary map of Europe-Asia-Africa draw an imaginary line through the points of a diplomatic throws?"
What would you call the resulting foreign policy figure?
Every policy is strong by a continuity!
Zagogulina of Levant!
[Zagogulina is an incomprehensible curved line drawn on paper. A common people word included in political vocabulary.]
Influential people, meanwhile, called up and negotiated. One of the leading European powers put forward the idea of convening an international conference on the Levant ...
Suddenly Vanya realized that the dream was coming true. He stands in front of the office of the Great Diplomat and is about to enter it.
Vanya Zhukov carefully entered the office-room of the Great Diplomat.
"I want to ride up in a social elevator! Ideas and talents are now priced!"
The Great Diplomat was immersed deeply in thoughts. He did not seem to notice the Vania entering.
At last, he turned his gaze to Vanya.
- Money are?
- Not. But I have a new foreign policy idea ... a concept ...
- All concepts have long been known! Do you know how many official foreign policy experts we have? ... Okay .. come on ... what do you have?
- If on an imaginary map of Europe-Asia-Africa to draw an imaginary line through the points of diplomatic breakthrough? How to name the resulting foreign policy figure? Every policy is strong by it"s continuity! ...
Vanya made a short pause and continued:
- Zagogulina of Levant!
The Great Diplomat froze for a moment.
"A Latin America, the Venezuela could be mentioned, too ...", just in case, Vanya added.
The Great Diplomat quickly returned to reality and took out the Diplomatic Сasket.
Thimbles, a little golden ball. A fast movements.
- Under what thimble is the ball?
Vanya pointed to one of the thimbles.
The Great Diplomat raised a thimble. There was nothing beneath him.
The Great Diplomat smiled slightly and looked at Vanya:
- See this thick folder? - The Great Diplomat nodded toward the pile of folders lying on the table. - This folder is filled with materials about the Levantine Zagogulina. Your original concepts have long been known! You is free!
Vanya went outside and walked along the sidewalk. The smell from the stall with a fast food filled him with vigor:
- Everything's under control! Everything has been known for a long time! A clever man! ... thinks of everything, knows everything! ..
To be a thrifty person, he had to go past the stall ...
Vanya briskly walked along the street ... A night dreams may come true ...
