EXTRACT FROM PERSONAL CASE OF TOPOLLER VIKTOR ALEKSANDROVICH

Great family man. Good conspirator. Moral interprets peculiar.

Character: vile, intolerant. He is not difficult with people, he reacts incorrectly to the comments of his elders, and he simply offends the younger ones using obscene language.

He reports the following about himself (from V. Vysotsky): “... I can chew glasses and read Schiller without a dictionary at the same time” (about Schiller - he’s obviously lying).

Sexual inclinations: pronounced.

Musical preferences: author's song, thieves' song, rock and roll.

The most beautiful woman considers: his wife. And also: all slender brown-haired women, regardless of hair color and nationality.

Not capable: capable of anything.

Languages: Russian, English, Hebrew (without a dictionary: can not read. Say - too. Can sing).

Political views: like V. Polesov, who was, according to I. Ilf and E. Petrov, “so right that he didn’t even know which party he belongs to”. Internationalist. Zionist. Gidmomason.

Loves: vodka, girls and marafet.

Dislikes: “After the Communists, I most of all do not like anti-Communists” (stole from S. Dovlatov).

Credo: “Beat the whites until they turn red, beat the reds until they turn white” (he stole again, but it is not known from whom).

About others

A person who supports the ogre, inevitably turns into his accomplice, accomplice and companion. Therefore, he is either an idiot or a villain. Unfortunately, there is no third option, no matter how much the well-wishers want it, and no matter how hard we try to present a pseudo-human, “progressive” rubbish. "Oh, oh, yes they did not understand ...". Did not understand? So, idiots? Or, after all, understood, just "circumstances forced"? .. So, bastards. Not given a third. And it has never been given. Neither under Hitler, nor under Stalin, nor under Putin will be given. There is only one excuse - the immediate threat to life. Yours and your loved ones. In any other case - no excuses. Understand, yes, you can. And you can not forgive. That's the whole "dick to the penny."

For the umpteenth time I can remember the words of the wonderful writer Ilya Zverev: “Our circumstances are shit. But if you yourself shit, do not blame in this circumstance. "

About Me

Since childhood they said that I was not a Jew, but a German. I am pathologically punctual and obligatory. I'm never late for anything. I always do everything exactly on time, what I promised and set for myself. I don't have unanswered emails. For many decades now I have been using a small notebook in which all my affairs, meetings, filming, obligations, etc. are written down by day and hour... I cannot live without it. Sometimes this drives others into a frenzy. Movie "Sleeping with the Enemy"remember? There, the husband made scandals for his wife if the towel hung unevenly or the can in the closet was turned the wrong way. My wife had a lot of fun watching this movie.

About fools

Fools are people too. And most of them. And they want to live like pigs and fools. And if possible, they will slam us, so as not to get in the way and under our feet not to be confused ...

About Ukraine

Do you believe in Ukraine? I believe. The people who have tasted freedom and dignity will no longer be cattle and rabble. Alexander Paskhaver (adviser to Kuchma, Tymoshenko, Yushchenko), with whom I recently met, says that a country is not a person, it has been sick for a long time... Ukraine has been sick. But what is happening today is the beginning of recovery. It won't be simple. And it won't be fast either. You need to be prepared for this. Does anyone believe that it will be possible to drive Ukraine back into the Soviet Union? Restore all the abomination that has already been restored in Russia and Belarus? To mess with people's minds again, what is being done every day in these unfortunate countries? Stop this nonsense.

About Putin

Until Putin gets punched in the face, he won’t stop. What will happen next? Donbass, Kyiv? Moldova? Baltic states? All this has already happened - the Anschluss of Austria, the seizure of the Sudetenland, the cowardly inaction of the West, the growing impudence of the aggressor and invader, accompanied by the most powerful Goebbels propaganda and, as a consequence of this, the transformation of the people into jubilant cattle.
