The press accused the honest politician Alexei Navalny of meeting in Kostroma with Americans from the U.S. Embassy.

The honest politician Navalny came forward and stated that it was all nonsense and that he hadn’t seen any Americans.

But then U.S. Embassy spokesman William Stevens came out and said that, yes indeed, the Americans had traveled to Kostroma in order to meet with “representatives of various parties.”

As the young people say - oops.

And it’s not that I burn with such righteous indignation over someone meeting with the Americans - honestly, I don’t care - but …

Would you leave your bag at the train station with the honest politician Navalny? “Keep an eye on it for five minutes, I’ll go have a smoke and be right back?”

I wouldn’t.


Пресса обвинила честного политика Навального в том, что он в Костроме встречался с американцами из посольства США.

Честный политик Навальный выступил и сообщил, что все это чепуха, и американцев никаких он не видел.

Но после этого вышел пресс-секретарь посольства США Уильям Стивенс и сказал, что таки да, ездили американцы в Кострому, чтобы встречаться с "представителями разных партий".

Как говорит молодежь, упс.

И не то чтобы я пылал таким праведным гневом по поводу чьих-либо встреч с американцами - честно говоря, мне все равно, - но...

Вы бы честному политику Навальному сумку на вокзале оставили? Пять минут покараулить, "покурю и вернусь"?

Я бы не стал.
