Here's a picture of life in Russia:

"Market day in a big village. "With the Hammer" for sale watermill. Someone Yermil would like to buy it, but no money with him. A condition is that you need to buy now, or go into other hands. Yermil into the middle of the market and threw cry: "Coley Ermila know if Yermil believe, so to help out, eh ..." Immediately if a gust of wind threw her left poddevok floors have all climbed for purses, promptly inserted Yermil money, and he bought the mill.

The next market day (one week) was handing out money. Lists as he did and did not put checkmarks. But no one took too much. Even stayed in Ermila "unclaimed" ruble. Searching, searching Yermil owner of the ruble, and so it gave the blind beggar.
