Vanya Zhukov is going to become a Great Diplomat. A sketch.
The more Vanya Zhukov read books and materials posted on sites on the Internet, the more he wanted to become a Great Diplomat.
Some figure, like Nesselrode ...
or Gorchakov ...
Or a Hero ... what his name ... He did a great attempt to attach the Kuril Islands to a magnificent life ... It is a pity that concerned citizens raised a noise on the Internet ... (And the cannons were firing well ... Forty kilometers from Rostov-on-Don, a cannonade was heard ...).
In general, you need to make a plan.
Where to begin?
Vanya began to make up a plan of action.
"1. To have a dad - a party boss who will help take away the scientific business from some smart person."
"For this they will give me a gold medal at school and help me to be admitted to a prestigious university ..."
Of course, no one will shoot the clever person like they shot Nikolai Voznesensky. They will simply torture him, they will torture him, they will deprive him of forces, they will destroy him through a usage of many years of party checks and proceedings. What is dearer to him: life and health or scientific business?
But the days of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union are long gone, and how Vanya can to change change the composition, the set of own parents?
Vanya crossed out the previously written wording and wrote a new one:
"1. To participate in the competition "Big-minded and Tadpoles".
"If I take the first place in the competition, then I will immediately be admitted to a prestigious university - without exams."
How to get first place? This is a separate issue. Vanya will read more and try to come up with something.
So ... what will be in the university ...
The local boss in the university invates Vanya and says that Vanya needs to learn Danish language. Vanya is a competent person. First, no one will send him to Denmark to work as a diplomat, and he will never need the Danish language. Secondly, learning Danish is a daunting, almost surreal task.
So the second point. Vanya recalls the fate of one Siberian student who had to give 50 percent of the received grant in order to be able to receive a grant.
Vanya writes:
"2. When offered to study Danish, I will need to get a grant or, in extreme cases, take a loan, and solve the problem of replacing Danish with English on the basis of the 50-50 principle. "
So ... let's move on. Vanya need influential acquaintances during his studies to have further prospects.
Here Vanya need a friend - a guy with connections - who able to be aside, even if his girlfriend is found under the walls of the university, as a girlfriend, which fell out of the window.
"3. To make friends with people with great connections while studying. "
It is clear that with all the connections and with the right behavior during study, you need to be ready for real prospects. There is no diplomatic mission in Antarctica yet, and there arose a major problem with the premises at one of the stations. Therefore ... Latin America?
"4. After starting work in Latin America, to carry big bags. "
There Vanya will be noticed, and he will receive a promotion.
What variant to choose in the case of the prospect of a raise?
To Central Asia! In Central Asia not Vanya will carry big bags, but local residents will carry them.
"5. To agree to transfer from Latin America to Central Asia. "
But when will Vanya become a Great Diplomat?
Vanya thought about it deeply.
"6. To change the surname from Zhukov to Central-Asianov or to something consonant with the names of local capitals. "
Only "Kabul" should not be touched ...
"7. To make friends with people with big bags and to accept the position of department head or even a deputy. "
This is already the hallway to the office of the Great Diplomat.
Vanya carefully put the action plan into his shirt pocket.
Now we need to act according to developed plan: to read more books and materials posted on the Internet, and to get ready to participate in the "Big-minded and Tadpoles" competition ...
