Yuri Vasilyevich fell silent.

– Yes," replied the Head of the Department for Control of Censorship of Ethno-cultural and Political Information on Africa and Asia.

Vasilievich looked at her in silence.

– I suggest that this issue be left to the decision of the heads of the military and power block.

– Thank you, I understand you," replied the head of the center, paused for a moment and concluded: "This is a political decision. We will consider the decision taken. Let's move on to another topic. And it is as follows: "The consequences of the changes in the internal and foreign policy of Greece after the introduction of new canons, changes in the catechism of the Church and the corresponding ethno-cultural and moral-spiritual postulates".

Another morning, Vasilievich followed Rutra into the office and announced that they needed to go to a special room styled like a UN employee's office.

– There will now be a videoconference with the General Staff, the Federation Council, the United Nations Disarmament Commission and the Presidential Administration on the report of the United States Department of State on the exchange of telemetry information and the implementation of the START III Treaty. Russia's representative to the UN is reporting. According to the legend, we are employees of the UN Commission. Get used to it, but don't get used to speaking English.

– That's right," Ruthra replied jokingly.

– You give me a break with this stuff, or you'll get me a nunnery. We're on, automatic translation system is working.

Faces appeared on the screens, assistants were making connections, greetings passed.

A U.N. official began the report:

– The U.S. State Department has provided a briefing on the progress of the implementation of the U.S.-Russian Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (START-3). According to this information, Moscow had 1,492 deployed nuclear warheads at the start of the treaty, while Washington had 1,737. According to the US State Department's data on the progress of START-3 implementation, the United States has 760 nuclear warhead carriers in service, while Russia has 523. The number of warheads on deployed carriers is 1,534 for the United States and 1,645 for Russia.

After listing many details, the speaker stated.

– The report is over, thank you for your attention.

There was a moment of silence. It was obvious from the faces of the participants that they wanted to end the conference as soon as possible.

– We, as UN representatives, should ask something, clarify. Ask something," Vasilyevich whispered to Rutra.
