"How are you, Evan?"

Evan: fine..it's a beautiful morning..with such a bright sun

Alex: We're on our way into Tver County

Ivan rejoiced, "The city of Tver… I visited it when I was a child."

Alex: Are you with your mom and dad?

Evan: Exactly

Alex laughed: Your parents are Russian nationalists

Evan: Yes

Alex laughed again, "And your name is Ivan, after King Ivan the Great

Ivan laughed: This king is my role model… With him, Russia has become a great empire

He reached the Baltic and Caspian seas

Alex: Yes.. you are a really good person… you have become chief of guards haha

On the road was a sign with the words Tver Province

The car crossed..a road policeman stopped them immediately.

Alex: What happened to make Evan stop us?

Evan: I don't know, stop.. so we know

Alex stopped the car and opened the window..the policeman approached.."Hi..it's Policeman Dimitri

Your cards, please." Alex and Evan handed their cards

The policeman cheered… "Oh…Alex..and this is Evan..just doing an acquaintance."

The entrants..because in military transportation activities

Alex: What kind of transport is this?

The policeman answered firmly, "This is a secret...and where are you going?"

Alex: We're crossing into Petersburg

Policeman: Ah.. passing… well... I wish you good luck

Alex started driving..and became thinking.."Ivan, what do you think is a military transport..."

Evan: I don't know..it could be soldiers or tanks

Alex: Perhaps this was a dangerous transfer. He was checking the identities of the entrants…Let's stop at this grocery store.

They entered the grocery store… Alex looked at the goods and the prices.." Evan..you see their goods…It is the usual one..and from it, they made jam, honey, yogurt, and cured meat.

Evan: It's good to sell on the highway, a lot of people pass by

Alex took a basket and put some canned food, soda, and bread in it

Ivan: Do you remember Cuban cigarettes?

Alex: What…do they sell it here too.

Evan: No…I just remembered it because I see here a section for different cigarettes

Alex asked the saleswoman: How much is a box of apples?

Saleswoman: There are 40 apples in it… The price of an apple is 25 rubles, it is 1,000 rubles

Evan: What is this, miss? He pointed with his hand at a small pump

Saleswoman: It's a water purification pump… Here you can draw river water

Through it gives you drinkable water

Alex: That's great…I used to buy water in plastic bottles all the time

Record it on the bill

The girl looked at them .. examining them… She was a blonde in her twenties

 She wears an apron, and a work uniform, "do you want a plastic barrel for water"

Evan: Good idea..thank you for reminding us, you gave us the 20-liter barrel

Alex was putting the crate of apples behind the car..."Come on, Evan

 Take apples..you must eat fruits daily.

Evan: I'll take one…I'm used to eating fruit at home with my family

Alex: Take more than one, 3 daily..the body needs vitamins..for health..and wellness

Evan: All right..I'll eat now

Alex: Wait, Evan..it's not washed..we have to wash it

They got in the car and drove off.

Evan: Where are your Cuban cigars?

Alex: Why do you want to smoke it?

Evan: I'd like to try one

Alex: All right..now let's drive a bit.

Ivan: How long is it from here to Tver?

Alex: Um..about an hour... I see most of the village houses are poor

 I see to the right and to the left.. as if the villages have vanished.. oh woe

Alex pulled Evan out of the pack of cigarettes

His left hand was on the steering wheel. "Ivan... take that cigar!"

Evan: Thank you, Mr. Alex.. and you don't smoke

Alex: OK..I'll give it a try

Evan lit his cigarette and Alex's… They started smoking and suddenly they coughed

Alex: My chest is burning..it's so strong and without a filter

Evan: I knew how to smoke it... slowly

Alex: Ah... Havana... the capital of Cuba

Evan: And did you visit her?

Alex: No.. but to this day she is our loyal friend

Evan: Yes, their system is socialist, and I see pictures of them with our leaders during the Soviet Union

Alex: I've had enough of this long cigar

Evan: Give it to me…I'll turn it off for you

Alex: In the sixties of the last century there was a problem between us and

United States of America..because of Cuba

Evan: Ah...the missile crisis

Alex: Exactly..we have transported nuclear missiles to this island by ship

Evan: Are still there?

Alex: No, we pulled them out..the issue..it was a plan to be America

At the mercy of our missiles close to it… Then we occupy it by anchoring our ships on

It's eastern shores… On the one hand, a military landing in Alaska

Evan: A nice cigar…I will open the window completely..and what happened?

Alex: They objected to Cuba keeping our missiles with them..because it represents a danger to them

Evan: The current missiles are intercontinental..and I think that what is being transferred…Now.. in the region are nuclear missiles

Alex: Ah…Boom Boom rockets…Let me take a ride now

Evan: What round?

Alex: I'd like to approach the transport caravan

Evan looked at him in surprise and felt fear, "The missiles are being transported by

 Military railways"

Alex: Trucks don't move them

Evan: I don't know exactly which one..but why do you want to get close to her

Alex: I'd like to know where they're taking it, and why

Evan: No…Whoa…This is espionage, and this work is prohibited

Alex: Uh..ok..let's keep driving to Tver..it's half an hour

An old black Mercedes drove by with a group of young men

And honked the horn

Alex: I think it's the mafia

Someone shouted from the car…Where do you think you are…You are in Tver…We are mafia… One of them pulled his hand out of the car window, carrying a large knife.

Evan waved a gun at him..the car sped away, "Evan,..it

They are gone, thank God".

Evan: Do not be afraid…I tell you that you are with a man who is experienced in protection

Alex slowed down the car..and was driving fearfully

Evan: A little bit left, and we'll get to the city

Alex found a car parked on the side of the road

An old black BMW. A huge man with a gun came out of it Magnum…Evan greeted him..the man started advancing toward them…Evan asked…Alex had to stop the car. Evan spoke to him through the window. "Hi…I'm Evan, From Moscow from the Ministry of the Interior…This is my card…You may not believe it haha"

Man: Hello… You are going to Tver

Alex: Yes, sir… What are you looking for here?

Man: Welcome… I am here.. ah.. ah.. a car was chasing us.. and we decided to wait for it here

Alex: It's okay..bye

Alex set off.. and became accelerating

Ivan: Here is the city of Tver

Alex felt that they were letting go..."Thank God...what a beautiful city

Built since 1135"

Ivan: I think the origin of the word is Russian.

Alex: Exactly..you mean Rowing men

Evan looked at Alex passionately, "What do you think of the Russians?"

Alex: They were fur traders and raiders.

Evan: Raiders

Alex: Of course… So how did they seize all these lands?

 They treat me with racism.. these days

Evan: I know that your mother is Russian.. and your father

Alex: My father is from Kazakhstan..but my wife is Russian

Evan: And what does Mr. Alex mean..wasn't there the Soviet Union?

And people mixed in the name of the friendship of peoples

Alex sat down On the chairs across from his table, "Thank you, Mr. Leonid, I'd like to talk to you about...The villages of your region…During my driving, I noticed the villages..some old..and others, non-existent..and the other

Leonid: You know, Mr. Alex.. that our services are many and continuous, and I care

 about what you say

Alex: Some villages..without good roads..and without electricity

Leonid took out a cigarette from a pack on his desk.. and lit it.. and started smoking

Alex: There are no gas pipelines in some villages, and unemployment is high

Leonid: Indeed..Mr. Alex, all these problems need a solution

But don't you find it in all of Russia

Alex: Yes, the information in our university is remembered for years, About these problems..most of which are youth migration to cities…I would like to tell you that

When I entered the region..the policeman was checking the documents of the entrants..and he was saying: It's in a military transport.

Leonid was annoyed, "Yes, there are nuclear missiles that they were transporting

Alex: Ah..missile..and to where

Leonid: This is a secret…It may be for the military bases in the region or the other region...

But something happened.. that the transport commander was in contact with the head of the city and the province

Alex: Why did he call?

Leonid: He bargained.. about whether they want the current government.. and started asking about

Percentages of opinions among the residents of the city and the region

Alex: And who is this..and a question

Leonid got angry..he was talking to Alex like a colleague. "He was bargaining if you don't want to, The government and the president.. will detonate nuclear missiles in full Territory in cities and villages.

Alex was stunned, surprised, and afraid, "This is a very dangerous job."

Leonid: And the head of the city called and through us in the centers of cities and villages

..and we talked with them..to accept that there is no other solution..or

Alex: Of course, by acceptance

Leonid: He submitted and the officials were satisfied..and they would have no answer but yes, with the government and the president

Leonid: That is why I tell you..since you are a Teacher of political science..you may be

 This information is useful to your university and its president

Alex: Don't worry…I and the president of the university are at your service

Leonid calmed down...and regained his smile..."Now about the problems...as you can see…we need money from the state..to solve all problems, that I mentioned..and the other.

Alex: Is the money.. not given to you.. or not enough for you?

Leonid rejoiced..and put out his cigarette. "They say...we don't have that much money now Because of the economic sanctions and the wars we are running.

Alex: Thank you..for your information..it was a pleasure to meet you

Leonid: You are welcome anytime

Alex exited the building..and caught the attention of a building opposite

The guard asked, "Hi.. what is this building?" pointing toward him

The guard laughed: It is a preparatory institute for learning Russian for foreign students

Alex rejoiced and struck ecstasy.." Like the one we have in Moscow

I am a teacher at the university..and where do they study then?

Guard: After completing the year, they enroll in different universities

 Such as medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture, and engineering

Alex: I see..and since when has this institute been here?

The Guardian: Since the last century, during the Soviet era, until today

Alex was amused and happy, "And from which country were the students?"

The Guardian: They were from Syria, Libya, Yemen, Vietnam, and China

Alex: I knew them..the former socialist countries.

Alex headed towards his car.

 Evan was walking around the city and looking at the houses, and the buildings, and the people.

 A beautiful blonde girl approached him and asked him, "Are you a tourist?"

Evan: Hello…I was a tourist here as a child with my parents

"Hello..my name is Svetlana..and what is your name"…" My name is Ivan..nice to meet you".

Svetlana: Let me take you on a tour of the city

Svetlana was a 23-year-old girl in a short pink skirt and a Luna coat

Dark blue… She was 1.9 meters tall, had blue eyes, and wore golden makeup

Bright with lipstick

Evan: You are beautiful, Stevelana

"Thank you..you like Russian girls"

Evan looked and saw what he had seen when he was young. "Ah.. the circus is still in its place today."

Svetlana: This circus.. it does not operate today only during seasons

Evan: I invite you to sit in this café.

Alex was at the hotel, worried and scared. "I will call in the rector, This news is dangerous"... he pressed the numbers on his phone.." Hello.. the president of the university Mr. Nikolay". "Hello..yes..who is speaking."..."I am Alex..the Teacher of political science."

"What is the matter… Is there a problem?"… "I want to tell you some very serious news."

"What is this news..come to me now..you are sober and not drunk."…" I am not drunk

I'm talking to you from the city of Tver. I'm on vacation…I spoke with Mr. Leonid Responsible, The district administration official told me that a military transport commander had threatened to bomb the district With a nuclear weapon."… "Oh, my God... dangerous words.. and what.. happened."… "The administration has worked Contacts in all the cities and villages of the region and ordered them to be satisfied with the president and the government. Because the threat is serious."… "Okay..I will write the name of this Mr..Leonid..Alex from Where are you talking now."… "I'm from the Volga Hotel." .. "Okay, I'll call an administrator In the Ministry of Defense for questions on this serious topic.. maybe all territories and from Russia Under this threat."… Nikolai hung up. Alex felt happy to speak with the rector, he decided to go down and have a walk on the edges of the Volga River.

Evan was in Svitlana's apartment. She was the only one of her parents and lived with them. "Your room is beautiful…Pictures of roses decorate all the walls."… She locked the door to her room with the key and looked at him with lust seduced and moved towards and kissed him.

Alex was walking along the edges of the Volga.. and he was walking around the townspeople.. he sat on a chair. a long railing.. watching the river.. old people strolling with their grandchildren.. women and youth a girl passed by with a cart..in which was a baby boy..a man was standing, drinking carbonated water and smoking, and a young man waved his hand at Alex, saying, "You're welcome!"… It was three young children playing with a small red plastic ball… Alex's phone rang… "Hello… Alex.. that's you...I called the official..and he said that this is a personal act..we have nothing to do with it..that the crossing commander, he is responsible and we will be punished for what he did." "Ah..thank you..no problem now..."

"Alex, when you finish your vacation, visit me.".

"Thank you…I wish you success".

Alex started thinking..did they mock me..did Mr. Leonid lie or joke…

Is the university president joking? I don't know.
