An excerpt characterizing the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan

"Si vous n" avez rien de mieux a faire, M. le comte (or mon prince), et si la perspective de passer la soiree chez une pauvre malade ne vous effraye pas trop, je serai charmee de vous voir chez moi entre 7 et 10 heures Annette Scherer".
[If you, count (or prince), have nothing better in mind, and if the prospect of an evening with a poor patient does not scare you too much, then I will be very glad to see you today between seven and ten o'clock. Anna Scherer.]
- Dieu, quelle virulente sortie [Oh! what a cruel attack!] - answered, not at all embarrassed by such a meeting, the prince entered, in a court, embroidered uniform, in stockings, shoes, with stars, with a bright expression of a flat face. He spoke in that exquisite French language, which our grandfathers not only spoke, but also thought, and with those quiet, patronizing intonations that are characteristic of a significant person who has grown old in society and at court. He went up to Anna Pavlovna, kissed her hand, offering her his perfumed and shining bald head, and calmly sat down on the sofa.
– Avant tout dites moi, comment vous allez, chere amie? [First of all, how is your health?] Calm down your friend,” he said, without changing his voice and in a tone in which, due to decency and participation, indifference and even mockery shone through.
- How can you be healthy ... when you suffer morally? Is it possible to remain calm in our time, when a person has a feeling? Anna Pavlovna said. “You’ve been with me all evening, I hope?”
- And the holiday of the English envoy? Today is Wednesday. I need to show myself there,” said the prince. - My daughter will pick me up and take me.
I thought this holiday was cancelled. Je vous avoue que toutes ces fetes et tous ces feux d "artifice commencent a devenir insipides. [I confess that all these holidays and fireworks are becoming unbearable.]
“If they knew that you wanted this, the holiday would have been canceled,” the prince said, out of habit, like a wound clock, saying things that he did not want to be believed.
– Ne me tourmentez pas. Eh bien, qu "a t on decide par rapport a la depeche de Novosiizoff? Vous savez tout. [Don't torment me. Well, what did you decide on the occasion of Novosiltsov's dispatch? You all know.]
- How can I tell you? said the prince in a cold, bored tone. - Qu "a t on decide? On a decide que Buonaparte a brule ses vaisseaux, et je crois que nous sommes en train de bruler les notres. [What did you decide? We decided that Bonaparte burned his ships; and we, too, seem ready to burn ours.] - Prince Vasily always spoke lazily, as an actor speaks the role of an old play.Anna Pavlovna Sherer, on the contrary, despite her forty years, was full of animation and impulses.
Being an enthusiast became her social position, and sometimes, when she didn’t even want to, she, in order not to deceive the expectations of people who knew her, became an enthusiast. The restrained smile that constantly played on Anna Pavlovna's face, although it did not go to her obsolete features, expressed, like in spoiled children, the constant consciousness of her sweet shortcoming, from which she does not want, cannot and does not find it necessary to correct herself.
In the middle of a conversation about political actions, Anna Pavlovna got excited.
“Ah, don’t tell me about Austria! I don't understand anything, maybe, but Austria never wanted and doesn't want war. She betrays us. Russia alone must be the savior of Europe. Our benefactor knows his high calling and will be faithful to it. Here's one thing I believe in. Our good and wonderful sovereign has the greatest role in the world, and he is so virtuous and good that God will not leave him, and he will fulfill his calling to crush the hydra of the revolution, which is now even more terrible in the person of this murderer and villain. We alone must atone for the blood of the righteous... Whom shall we hope for, I ask you?... England with its commercial spirit will not and cannot understand the whole loftiness of the soul of Emperor Alexander. She refused to clear Malta. She wants to see, looking for the back thought of our actions. What did they say to Novosiltsov?... Nothing. They did not understand, they cannot understand the selflessness of our emperor, who wants nothing for himself and wants everything for the good of the world. And what did they promise? Nothing. And what they promised, and that will not happen! Prussia has already declared that Bonaparte is invincible and that all of Europe can do nothing against him... And I do not believe in a single word either Hardenberg or Gaugwitz. Cette fameuse neutralite prussienne, ce n "est qu" un piege. [This notorious neutrality of Prussia is only a trap.] I believe in one God and in the high destiny of our dear Emperor. He will save Europe!…” She suddenly stopped with a smile of mockery at her ardor. 697 / Elena DOLGOVA,
