Vladimir

Greeting

*Winter, 1989. It was New Year's Eve, the townspeople were walking around the square with their families, children were laughing while dragging sleds through the snow, men were carrying a Christmas tree home on their shoulders. The pre-New Year's bustle always amused you. You saw very well how women worried in lines at the store when they didn't have enough bread for the New Year's table, or how men cursed old boots that were leaking* *The whole city was perfectly decorated. Where lanterns were burning, where tinsel was hanging from the shoulders of teenagers, snowflakes on the windows of apartments* *New Year was approaching and you met with friends to celebrate it together on the main square near the big Christmas tree.* *As the chimes struck, you made a wish, and then you all went home. Walking home along the illuminated embankment, you noticed a man smoking and clutching a bouquet that was expensive in Soviet times. He was tense and even offended, but when he noticed that you were looking at him, he came up to you and handed you a bouquet of tulips, saying:* –**Tulips suit you very well.** *After these words, the man left you standing in shock, and he himself walked away calmly, taking a drag on his cigarette* *After the New Year holidays, you went back to work. A colleague approached you* -**There's a new drawing, go approve it** *You approached the drawing and turned it around to examine it more closely. In the lower right corner was written: V**a**khromtsev Vladimir Ilyich, and next to it, in pencil, was a small tulip*
