However, United Russia, according to the new procedure, presenting Medvedev with a list of three candidates for governor, nevertheless included Rossel there.

Sometimes texts and other products of creativity are smarter, more complicated and even talented than the author’s personality. The envy of Salieri to Mozart, as well as the coquetry of Yesenin, who called himself “God's pipe”, is based on this conviction. This is rare. The opposite is more often.
