Dmitry Medvedev. File photoMOSCOW, Aug 2Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, against the backdrop of the visit of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, recalled a plot from Alexander Pushkin's fairy tale «About the Fisherman and the Fish.» Medvedev wrote a post on his Telegram channel, where he described a plot similar to the one that was in Pushkin's fairy tale about the golden fish. At the same time, the author of the post immediately noted that his text is nothing more than «An existential tale about an old man, an old woman and a fish.» In the plot described by Medvedev, an old woman and an old man lived in a rich kingdom, who loved to fish and threw his net to his neighbors who endured it out of respect. But one day everything changed. «In unconsciousness, the old man went to a foreign land. He hoped to catch large fish in distant lands. And, as usual, not with his own hands. He began to demand from poor fishermen that they drag him a fish. And he supplied them with fishing rods and nets , but he did not go to sea himself. He said to them: «I have become old, weak. But I need a lot of fish to be happy with the old woman. I need the biggest fish! You will fish as long as at least one of you remains alive, will stand on his feet, will not drown in the abyss of the sea. «And those fools and simpletons from distant lands agreed. They catch day and night for the old man and old woman slippery fish and various sea reptiles. They hope pull out the biggest fish, amuse the old man and the old woman. But the fish does not go, although the nets are new, and the fishing rods are cunning. Either mud will come, or sea grass, «Medvedev writes.
The United States is reloading «smoldering» conflicts around the world, he said in the State Duma. After that, he added, the old man wanted to become the ruler of the sea and the earth, and sent the old woman to the thirtieth kingdom to catch fish, not simple, but golden. «The old woman arrived in that kingdom-state. She left to the sea-ocean. He demands to give her a goldfish on a tray this very hour. He wants the old woman to have a fish on parcels. As soon as the blue-sea heard such absurdity, demonic impudence, insane speeches, reared up, frothed. Its angry waves swelled, howling howled terrible. And lo and behold, a fish swam out of the ocean. Not simple, but golden, oriental. And with it a whale fish, a sickle fish and a hammerhead fish. Ferocious, terrible. They are clattering their teeth at the old woman, The old woman was frightened then in earnest,» Medvedev added. After that, as he wrote, the goldfish silently swam away. «The old woman returned home without salty slurping. Look — and her sick old man is sitting on the shore, squinting his half-blinded eyes, moving his lips, but does not recognize his old woman. And in front of him lies a broken trough. It's not over,» he concluded.
