Gentlemen, believe me, in Russia, at times, far more interesting than in the prosperous West.

Who is arguing for, sir.

I gaze at the world from under the table,
The twentieth century - a century of extraordinary.
 Than a century, more interesting for the historian,
But for contemporary sad! (c)

As lecture notes on the history of the 19 th century, right.
