Vladimir Dorofeyev: Storozh kluba

Quotes 

• Storozh kluba : And here, dear citizens, is that very surprise... that very chair I was talking about. Get up, soldier boy. I used to be the watchman. A no-good club it was. Then, in the spring, Comrade Krasilnikov bought a new chair. Once I clambered onto it to fix a placard to the wall, I slipped off the chair and the coverin' was torn off. It turned out, them bourgeois people hid their jewelry there.

  Storozh kluba : Believe it or not. The club was built with them. And I was paid a bonus of 50 silver roubles. I bought this costume on that money. Let's go on. I'll show you our gymnasium. Come on.
