Русское воскрешение Мэрилин Монро. На 2 языках

It seemed as if I unintentionally offended her because her face turned red.

“I am not authorized to discuss it with you.”

“Who is authorized? Let me see that one, because I waste my time here.”

“I’ll find out. You study meanwhile.” She turned around and almost ran out of the room.”

To the end of a day I sat being bored at the table waiting for somebody with enough authority to introduce me to my job. Sometimes I left the room to stretch out and walked through the corridors, observing the colleagues. Finally, with no one coming to me, I gave up waiting and went home.

У изголовья гроба стояло почти все политбюро этой партии: Фомин, Мячева, – прочих по фамилиям я не знал. Первым выступил с речью Фомин:

– Товарищи! Друзья! Сегодня у нас скорбный день, мы провожаем в последний путь нашего соратника, верного ленинца Сергея Есенина…

«Бог ты мой! – подумал я, – фамилию великого поэта зачем же еще приплетать! Ну двойник, ну поэт, но зачем еще это!». Я не знал еще, что и настоящая фамилия у покойного была – Есенин.

At the head of the coffin, besides the portrait, was standing the Poliburo of this party: Fomin, Myacheva, and others that I had noticed yesterday. First was to speak Fomin, the Secretary General.

“Comrades, friends! This is a sorrowful day for all of us, because we pay tribute to our young colleague, ardent Communist, the faithful Leninist Sergey Yesenin.”

“Oh, my God,” I thought, “Why drag in the last name of the great poet, that’s over the top! He is out-of-time twin, a poet, a namesake, he got the same portrait at his head, but why Yesenin?” Of course, I did not know then that his last name by his Indian passport was also Yesenin.

–… Он отдал свою жизнь за наше общее дело! Он боролся до последней минуты жизни. Его слова и стихи на наших листовках и агитках будут еще долго жить, учить и призывать, они поведут за собой весь народ. Скоро выборы. Никакого нет сомнения, что мы победим. Но наш Сергей уже не порадуется нашей победе. Но ты, Сережа, не напрасно прожил свою короткую жизнь, не напрасно ты прилетел к нам из жаркой Индии.

“He gave his life for our common righteous cause!” roared Fomin. “He fought to the last moments of his life. His words and verse in the leaflets and media publicity materials will long live, they will guide whole our nation to the Leninist goals. Duma elections are coming, and no doubt we will win.
