Wow!

The scene depicts Vladimir Putin's Kremlin office. The President of Russia walks thoughtfully in front of a narrow circle of his closest associates.

PUTIN:
There's no point, even though I work like an ox.
The country hangs, swaying over the abyss.
Who would bring order here?
Only Chavez. I wish to be like Chavez!
What a politician - don't be sad, mom!
What a titan - not like your EdRo!
He managed to kill off the oligarchs,
He managed to return the people's resources,
What is the rating, parasite,
How he builds the whole country with terrible force
And Bush is unequivocally insolent,
And Bush listens to all this like a darling!
I listened to one of his speeches,
The day before yesterday, in such a Latin style...
If I try to anneal something like this somewhere -
They wouldn't let me into Munich again!
What he was saying there in Jamaica is disgusting!
Listen well, colleagues.
Plus he has his own talk show -
Better than ours and Lukashenko’s.
Success accompanies him everywhere.
He literally punches ministers in the faces
And in general, he holds everyone ironically,
And all - “Hurray!” Well, why can’t we do that?!
I'll say, our people got greedy.
As soon as stability began, we got excited.
Either a Russian march, or a dissenting march...
March like that in Venezuela!
We've been in a complete rush over the last year:
We ate, rocked, shouted...
What if I took away the subsoil?!
Why, oh God, am I not Hugo Chavez?!
So that the external enemy humbles himself before me,
So that inner timidity overcomes...
GRYZLOV (timidly):
But this cannot be possible!
PUTIN:
But why?!
S. IVANOV (plucking up courage):
This is not Venezuela!
PUTIN:
Here's to me too! They will always find an excuse.
I'll make you fucking walk on a thread!
Let them make Venezuela here!
Partially abolish the population,
Bring culture to the brink
The outskirts of Moscow - to the point of chaos,
And in terms of medical poverty
We already have almost Venezuela.
MEDVEDEV:
Yes, we even follow our leader into hell!
We are forever faithful to you, as promised, -
We will restore Venezuela in a year!
PUTIN (satisfied):
Here you go. Now I will be Hugo Chavez.
