Этот рассказ – финалист конкурса «Хорошие сценарии для России». Он написан в 2012 году, перед глазами стояла история Чаушеску, еще не было расправы народа над Каддафи и свержения других «товарищей». Текст очень реалистичен, актуален в наше время, и поэтому у него должен быть шанс стать прививкой для власти от ее избыточности и для народа – от бессмысленности самых крайних мер.

Не скажу, что мне удалось сделать хоть что-то круче, но я испытывал и испытываю огромное удовольствие наконец-то попробовать.
