The other day, census takers came home. Or rather, a copyist. According to my wife (I was at work), she is a charming, youthful, airy creature. Everything was going smoothly until they got to me. “Is your husband’s nationality Russian?” - asked the creature. “No,” answered the wife, “he’s a Jew.” The girl looked down and asked embarrassedly: “What, should I write it just like that?”

A number of prominent employees of leading museums in Russia addressed President Dmitry Medvedev with an open letter, calling on him to intervene in the situation that arose in connection with the dismissal of the director of the Yaroslavl Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve, Elena Ankudinova, on September 20.

I know Elena Andreevna Ankudinova very well, I collaborated with her a lot and fruitfully, and I can firmly say that she is one of the best museum leaders, I have no doubt about that.

In society Undeded noodles on the overwhelming ears.
