Diary Chekist 80: departure from Moscow to spy shop
cholewa2 in the post
morning, the chief told me:
"You party mission. Do you remember us for the sale of these climbed .......... (swearing) that are on staff? That's it, and teachers from these sons obkomovskih just foul. Hosts of life .......... (Again, using foul language). So, they are now training for operations - while in theory. And our political officer's nephew teaches there. He offered the most explanatory of them follow the well, at least for the most inept techie - to them at least once to poke its snout and pride swept away the wave.
Political officer prompted him to you - just sit in the same building, geek, we have recently operational work, you do not know, and know the terrain. Yes, with the head of the department agreed.
Now listen carefully:
1. For the next week go for a walk wherever you want. Well, not exactly "where you want" - to the embassies, churches, synagogues, and other things it is better not come. A tour starts at 10:00 am from the monument to the heroes of Plevna.
2. Every day in the same store you will buy some trifle. Think about that. Decide to - write down, and then in foil paper in kraft envelope, sealed and you will give political officer. Every time there otovaritsya - keep a check. That's up to the store your "tail" in any case should not walk. And calculate this shop too, no one should.
3. Tomorrow you all day to prepare, and on Monday proceed. And now - trotted into our shop and do two pictures 3x4 in front and profile. Yes, for them.
4. And look, in Susanin not play in the swamps and the pit does not entice - can then shit. It is better to try it on level ground ........ (Swearing, in the sense of "trick" . That he himself felt a complete idiot, but did not write the report, what you're clever and trained. Yes, too, write a brief report on each day - just time and place, where he was.
5. How many of the "tail" go away - consider, so many earned compensatory time off.
6. Yes, how to reset the "tail" - take your time: Check and More time check. And at the end of the day call me from the machine from any crowded subway station, that's all right. Look, no shit - and then I put you a bottle of cognac, and the chief political officer with the department, too. » < /span>

Hurrah! end of the month, end of the quarter - in the shops at least something worthwhile for the plan will be delivered. A I've got a tailor just about to retire will leave for the future should be at least two suits to order.
And about these types of I will not say what city on the Neva heard. Interestingly, here they are now safely climb on foreign sales, and when in the ranks come out - which will generally take from people that like? It is a pity, "tail" can lure anywhere - so there are suitable places in the vicinity of Solyanka and Sretenka ...
Since this is the chief said - " for the most inept techie? "Yeah, paid a compliment ...
Monday. Shopping
10-10. Dry and warm, almost like summer. on my jeans, turtleneck and jacket - More recently, in the wild, so I could walk every day, and now obliged to carry on the work of a suit and tie. Coming from the monument down the boulevard, enjoying the blue sky and the gentle sun. surveillance has not yet noticed. It is a pity, but still down in the subway and on the "Square Nogin" food to "Volgograd Prospekt».
I stand at the end of the car, look to the passengers. So who did? If it does not make up (or whatever they have taken) the women, children and the elderly are excluded. So, it seems, this one - quite a Soviet suit and shoes, then Finnish, with our sales. and imported watches, expensive, with teeth around the glass - as our deputy. early. Department . sitting, women are not inferior.
native of Moscow in the subway just does not sit down and get up in the corner - all the same and then give way. Muscovite in the second or third generation will sit down, but then give way to a woman or old man - then get in good location is no longer able to. Muscovites in the first generation of women and the elderly are respected, but when they appear for some mysterious reason hibernate. And it sits and watches - a newcomer. And, characteristically, is looking at all the top-down, although and sits. owner lives ...
Or does not it?
10-55. Station "Volgograd Prospekt." Go out on Novoostapovskaya. After all, he - and one at a decent distance. Maybe he knows how to blend in with the crowd - but on a deserted street nowhere to hide.
I go out to the park and lose sight of him. Well, "with X", as mathematicians say - at least, I had already figured out .
11-00. In the "fabric" on the street. Engineering - Accounting. Sheisse, as they say in the GDR sister.
11-10. I sit down on the tram, going to the "proletarian." In the car "tail" No, but the Dubrovka taxi overtakes us, and the proletarian, he walks to the "hundredth" mall just in front of me. That, or he did something to know how, or does it insure. interesting and how much they give to the operating expenses?
11-25. Department tissues. Presque hren, as he said to the lieutenant Rzhevskij. And someone has promised us that in 1980 we will live under communism ...
11-30. Metro "Proletarian».
11-40. Metro "Taganskaya-radial." The transition to a circular line and way out. "tail" in the crowd can not see, but I know where he is -then the next.
11-45. «Fabrics» Taganka. Hooray! That is, the fabrics, but there are a Scottish Ratinov of 45 rubles. from which sews a coat all of our heads. They are something good, with their distributors ...
And a dull-green woolen cloth for 38 rubles. - just a mom on a coat.
From the metro calling parents to immediately drove the money. Ratinov hardly sagged before lunch.
Oh, my uncle was in Czechoslovakia - he says there though, and socialism, but it is possible to find any increase in decent clothing. Lucky ... We have some of the same clothing is clearly in charge of the evil dwarf - had never seen longer than IV growth, even at sales office.
12-10. Again "Taganskaya-radial." I was standing in the carriage at the door opposite the entrance. Thus, the tail sits again, and again to face me - but only in a nearby car.
12-15. "Nogin Square." There are not doors open on the left and right. opened near me, and I'm kind of sleepy (by the way, really want to sleep) and just yawned. "tail" looking at me. " , Sliding Doors, "I yawned, he sits. In the last half a second before closing the door again and go out yawning. Jump up it was too late. And if I jumped, I had to push at least three of them - still have not had time.
I wonder what he wrote in a report - would accuse me of hypnosis?
Still, rudeness punished.
12-25. A cloth for a suit is still needed. Shop "Baltic" Solyanka. Accounting. Shit, as they say in the alleged enemy.
12-40. «Fabric" on the street. Bohdan Khmelnytsky, with even the surviving pre-Revolutionary inscription «Dutfoy». queue is already on the street, pointless to get up. Merde, as used to say at the time of our grandfathers.

Check: Petroverigsky of the lane - down the Starosadsky and before going on the street. Zabelina - under the arch and down, then to the entrance courtyard - even down to the chambers Sumarokov - another thoroughfare - and now up the slope and through the familiar hole in the fence. And five minutes later I go back to Petroverigsky, but out of the gate Inyazovskogo women's dormitory. a long time since I have not been in it. Alas, now I'm here to stay is not allowed ...
Yes, thank God, Moscow stands on seven hills, curves and lanes in it a lot - not that in the swamp with ihnem rectangular blocks.
13-30. In any case, once again go out in and through Starosadsky thoroughfare - in Kolpachny lane. For me one.

15-50. Pin Stripes approved. Mom goes to work, I get up at all.
17-10. O joy! - time to buy a costume and dad. Three minutes later, a saleswoman shouts across the room, "Tan! For a gray striped no longer pierce! "I called my mom that everything is in order. again get a scolding, do not bite.
17-35. On the trolley back to Nogin Square, then walk off to the Revolution Square. After all, once again check: look around in the desert forever Staropansky Lane - one for me.
17-45. I called his boss, that's all right. He seemed a little surprised.
