A wonderful Georgian and a stingy Kaiser. A humorous historical and financial story.
Vladimir Ilyich is sitting in the office of the Prime Minister.
"The hires of the bourgeoisie are spreading rumors about our freezing of all deposits in banks!!!"
Vladimir Ilyich remembered how, during his life in exile (abroad), the woman, owner of a rented apartment, pursued Nadezhda Konstantinovna, suspecting small crooks in the tenants.
By this time, the wonderful Georgian had sent a suitcase of tzar's banknotes for the abroad Central Committee. This money was exchanged for German marks and deposited in a bank.
Needed to take an extract from the bank, which said that the Ulyanov's bank account had more than one hundred thousand marks, and to show this extract to the woman, lessor of the apartment. Since then, this woman has only been silent and bowed.
However, with the outbreak of the imperialist war, all this money (which was in the bank) was confiscated by the German Kaiser.
It was necessary to demonstrate jewelry dexterity to get the money back.
"They thought that history would write everything off. And deftly we sent this man to their embassy ... with a mandate...". "At last, the German revolutionaries took an example from us and wrote off this Kaiser as a thing of the past!"
Secretary Fotieva came into the office: news from Yekaterinburg.
Vladimir Ilyich listened, but did not answer anything.
"What are the instructions?" Fotieva asked.
"Transfer my order: to print three trillion tzar's rubles! We are not stingy people! Send the suitcases around all the country to the gubernian committees!"
"Is there anything else, Vladimir Ilyich?", - said Fotieva.
"Prepare a resolution on the election of our reliable revolutionary as General Secretary of the Central Committee!" "That's all, for now!"
Fotieva left the office.
"To freeze money in banks is not to confiscate deposits! Let the hires of the bourgeoisie be angry! If they still have money left to publish newspapers, we will close the newspapers. Except for the "Pravda", of course!"
"It's a pity that the Kaiser ran away to Holland. He did it deftly - about our money in the bank...".
