couple and couple of hours before NY

- Why u come so late? It means we will have dinner without u.
- What do u mean? I come at 10, dinner starts around 11.
- Around 11?! But we will go outside already! At 12 we must be in the street
- No, at 12 we must be home – to watch Putin and kuranty.
- Putin starts to talk at 12?
- No, 5 minutes before.
- Wow. He s got a lot to say. Italian president such a nice guy that has a speech at 10 and talks more then an hour.
- I don’t care. 5 minutes to 12 we must see Putin. And then kuranty. To do Russian New Year we must eat 2 types of Russian salats, watch Irinia sud’by film, listen to Putin and drink champagne at 12 under kuranty.
- U want to say that at 12 all the country spend in front of tv?
- Yes. It’s necessary.
- It’s so… depressing…! In Italy everybody outside in the street, shouting, celebrating, drinking, hugging…
- U’re in Russia. Respect it.

During all the dialog I couldn’t get rid of feeling that something wrong is going on here.
