Comrades, today's meeting was hastily. We will spend many years with many. I
I will tell you many more details of our joy. The news of
your experience, the scientists established a watch. They helped you a lot, considering and
correcting your inevitable miscalculations. We went to each other like two brigades,
breaking tunnel, until they met today. You yourself do not see all
grandiosity of your affairs. We know better: we know what came into life. I am with
Surprisingly looking around apartments, disappeared from us and carefully
restored by museums, and I watched the giants of steel and earth, grateful
the memory of which, whose experience is now still standing in our sample
communist construction and life. I looked at the invisible to you greasy
young men whose names burn on slabs of annulled gold. Only
Today, from my brief flight, I looked and understood the power of your will and
the thunder of your storm, which grew so quickly in our happiness and in the joy of all

It's easy for us. I did not know if it's easy for you to go from the assembly line to the
from the rasp to the machine.
Dvojkin 321
Not such transitions did, comrade. We made armadilloes, then
lighters, with lighters finished - bayonets started, bayonets were done - on
the tractors went, and they even reeled all their studies at the university. And we do not have many
