… – Dmitry Sergeevich, I apologize, excuse me, I have a question for tomorrow… But on Wednesday at five in the morning I fly with Minister Alexander Kurenkov after the controlled floods. And precisely tomorrow, June 26, Comrade Gennady Zyuganov will turn 80 years old. How in the Kremlin, in particular, Vladimir Putin treats this interesting person, like a politician, like a prominent public figure, that’s what they call him in Russia.
These questions were asked by a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda on Tuesday, June 25, to the official representative of the Kremlin.
But… the press secretary postponed the answers until tomorrow.
“Alexander, according to our tradition, we do not congratulate people on their birthday in advance,” Peskov said.
“And this is not a congratulation,” I clarified, “but simply… (I decided to remind him).
“We won’t talk (today),” the Kremlin official added, “but we will talk about it tomorrow.”
– But I won’t be able to communicate by phone… Well, okay, I’m sorry. Thank you.
– Good.
