And dance, and the joke will tell

Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova as the main stand-up comic of the country

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova appears in the news every day. Previously, it was called the “Russian Psaki”, but everyone forgot about Jen Psaki for a long time, and Zakharova’s statements sound louder every day. Moreover, the representative of the Foreign Ministry not only comments on the events taking place in the world-it has turned into a full stand-up comedian telling jokes, reading poetry and dancing “kalinka”.

Maria Zakharova promised reporters to dance at the concert of the Russia -ASEAN summit: “I promise that Russian folk dances will be in the program of the evening. From me, Kalinka. " And she kept her promise. True, evil languages ​​claim that it turned out not to Kalinka, but what's the difference.

A week before, Zakharova during a briefing told a joke about the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko:

And then I joked about the renaming of Dnepropetrovsk to the Dnieper: "I began to worry about the possibility of reducing the names of cities such as Kherson, Zaporozhye and Saakashvili."

Zakharova’s creative nature is constantly eager for: she will devote poetry to John Kerry in English (and reads them herself):

Then he will write a poetic answer to Dmitry Bykov, starting with such lines:

The yard style was set by you.
“And we? We will not shine with anything. ”
Only for convenience understanding
We are talking in the yard.

Zakharova has not yet sang songs, but the texts have already begun to compose:

Finally, like a talented comedian, she tries herself in humorous prose. What is her recent story about how she jokingly pondered the murder of an American journalist who interviewed her: “Even if ... But what to do with a corpse, blood, smell of gunpowder, finally? In 40 minutes, the press conference is kept, and suddenly they will notice in my face. Although it is unlikely. Or will the shells be shot from the pocket? It's good that one. There is nothing to do with two cartridges. ”
