The Short Story of the meeting in Berlin Yermak Timofeyevich and Alexander Sergeyevich
Yermak Timofeyevich walks along a Berlin street. "Where the monument to Otto von Bismarck is located?" "I heard, this monument was moved ...". "Now I will ask".
He addresses a passerby: "Tell me please, where the monument to Otto von Bismarck is located?"
It has suddenly turned out that the person whom he has asked the question, is Alexander Sergeyevich.
Yermak Timofeyevich has recognized him and says:
- Thank you for your creativity, Alexander Sergeyevich!
- Let us, Yermak Timofeyevich, together we will try to pass to a monument to Otto von Bismarck ....
There is in my diaries a record about a conversation with one Cossack ... I was young ... And in youth not always you understand what extremely heavy can be a military service ... My youth my excuse... And if to remember the novel by Leo Tolstoy "The Cossacks" ... The service of Cossacks was not only heavy but also dangerous ...
- Those who are informed of my, of our, the expedition realize that she was initiated by the Strogonovs. But the incredible heaviness and danger of our way show that we served Russia, and served in good faith!
And here, in Berlin, it is appropriate to say that I and the members of my expedition operated for all-European interests!
- You, Yermak Timofeyevich, weren't photographed in time. Now problems with monuments arise, - in the absence of authentic photos! If there were your photos, then, maybe, monuments to you and participants of your expedition were in Moscow and in Siberia ... Let and not on the most central places ... (In Novocherkassk, Omsk, Surgut, Tyumen, Chusovoy, some other the cities monuments to you are installed). Thank you for your service of Russia, Yermak Timofeyevich!
So, talking, Yermak Timofeyevich and Alexander Sergeyevich have continued their way to a monument to Otto von Bismarck.
A radio in some parked car was turned on. The radio program "The attitude to Otto von Bismarck in Germany in the XX century" was broadcasting.
