Among other workers of weights there lived two members of the state: normal muzhik Makar Ganushkin and more outstanding - a companion the Lion Mad which was most the cleverest on village and, thanks to mind, supervised over people movement forward, as the crow flies to general welfare. But all population of village spoke about the Lion Mad when it went somewhere by:
-- Our leader step somewhere has gone, tomorrow wait for any acceptance of measures... The Clever brain, only hands empty. Naked mind lives... Makar as any muzhik, liked crafts, than a ploughed land more, and cared not of bread, and about shows because at it was, on the conclusion of a companion Mad, an empty head. Not taking the permission at a companion Mad, Makar has organised once a show - the national roundabout driven around of by capacity of a wind. The people were going to around Makarovoj roundabouts a continuous cloud and expected a storm which could shift a roundabout from a place. But the storm something was late, the people stood without delov, and in the meantime the foal Mad has run away in meadows and there has lost the way in wet places. If the people are on rest it would catch at once a foal Mad and would not allow Mad to suffer the loss, but Makar have distracted the people from rest and that have helped Mad to suffer a damage. Mad itself has not pursued a foal, and has approached to Makaru, silently grieving for a storm, and has told:
-- You here distract the people, and at me a foal to pursue there is nobody... Makar has regained consciousness from thoughtfulness because has guessed. Think it could not, having an empty head over clever hands, but he could guess at once.
-- Do not grieve, - has told Makar to a companion Mad, - I to you will make a self-feed.
-- How? - Has asked Mad because did not know how empty hands to make a self-feed.
-- From hoops and cords, - has answered Makar, not thinking, and feeling traction force and rotation in those future cords and hoops.
-- Then do more likely, - has told Mad, - and I you will involve that in lawful responsibility for illegal shows. But Makar thought not of the penalty - think it could not, - and recollected, where he saw iron, and has not recollected, because all village has been made of superficial materials: clay, straw, a tree and hemp. Storms do not happen, the roundabout did not go, and Makar has returned to a court yard. Houses Makar has drunk from melancholy of water and has felt knitting taste of that water. "Should be, because and gland is not present, - has guessed Makar, - that we with water drink it." At night Makar has got in dry, decayed kolodez and has lived in him days, searching for gland under crude sand. For the second days Makara muzhiks under a command Mad which was afraid have pulled out, that the citizen besides front of socialist building will be lost. Makar was very heavy - it in hands had brown blocks of iron ore. Muzhiks have pulled out it and have damned for weight, and a companion Mad has promised in addition to fine Makara for public trouble. However Makar to it has not listened and a week later has made of ore iron in an oven after its woman has baked there hleby. As it otzhigal ore in an oven, - nobody knows, because Makar operated with the clever hands and a silent head. A day later Makar has made an iron wheel, and then one more wheel, but any wheel itself has not gone: they needed to be rolled hands. Has come to Makaru Mad and asks:
-- Has made a self-feed instead of a foal?
-- No, - speaks Makar, - I guessed, that they should sweep, and they - are not present.
-- That you have deceived me, spontaneous your head! - sluzhebno has exclaimed CHumovoj. - Do then a foal!
-- Meat is not present, and I would make that, - have refused Makar.
-- And how you from clay have made iron? - Has recollected Mad.
-- I do not know, - has answered Makar, - at me memories are not present. Mad here has taken offence.
-- You that, hide opening of economic value, the individual-devil! You not the person, you the individualist! I now around will fine you, that you knew how to think! Makar has obeyed:
-- And I do not think, a companion Mad. I the person empty.
-- Then hands truncate, do not do, that you do not understand, - a companion Mad has reproached Makara.
-- If to me, a companion Mad, your head then I too would think, - has confessed Makar.
-- That's it, - has confirmed CHumovoj. - But such head one on all village, and you should me obey. Here again Mad around has fined Makara, so Makaru it was necessary to go on a craft to Moscow to pay that penalty, having left a roundabout and an economy under zealous care of a companion Mad.

Makar went in trains ten years ago, in the nineteenth year. Then it carried for nothing because Makar at once was similar to the farm laborer, and it even documents did not ask. "Ezzhaj further, - spoke to it, happened, proletarian guards, - you to us are lovely, time you a goal". Now Makar as well as nine years ago, has got on a train not sprosjas, having been surprised maloljudju and to open doors. But all the same villages Makar not in the middle of the car, and on stsepkah to look, how wheels on the move operate. Wheels have started to operate, and the train has gone to the state middle to Moscow. The train went faster any half-blooded. Steppes ran towards to a train and did not come to an end in any way. " Zamuchajut they the car, - regretted wheels Makar. - Really that only in the world is not present, time it is spacious and empty ". Hands Makara were in rest, their free clever force has gone to its empty capacious head, and he began to think. Makar sat on stsepkah and thought, that could. However long Makar has not stayed. The policeman without the weapon has approached and has asked it the ticket. The ticket at Makara with itself was not, as, under its assumption, there was a Soviet, firm power which and at all for nothing carries now all requiring. The Policeman-controller has told Makaru that it climbed down from a sin on the first substation where there is a buffet that Makar has not starved to death on a deaf stage. Makar has seen, that the power cares of him, time not simply drives, and offers buffet, and has thanked the chief of trains. On substation Makar all the same not tears though the train has stopped to unload envelopes and cards from the mail van. Makar has recollected one technical reason and remained in a train to help it to go further. "Than the thing is heavier, - rather imagined Makar a stone and down, - that it flies further, when it will throw; and I by train go a superfluous brick that the train could reach quickly Moscow". Not wishing to offend poezdnogo the policeman, Makar has climbed in depth of the mechanism, under the car, and there has laid down on rest, listening to worrying speed of wheels. From rest and a show of travelling sand Makar has deafly fallen asleep and has dreamt, as if it comes off the earth and flies on a cold wind. With this magnificent feeling he has regretted the people who have remained on the earth.
-- Ear ring, that you the hot throw necks! Makar has woken up from these words and took itself for a neck: whether its body and all internal life is whole?
-- Anything! - has shouted from afar Serezhka. - To Moscow nedaleche: will not burn down! The train stood at station. Workmen tried carload axes and silently swore. Makar has got out from under the car and has seen in the distance the centre of all state - the main city of Moscow. "Now I and on foot will reach, - have thought Makar. - Perhaps the train will reach quickly and without additional weight!" And Makar has got under way in a direction of towers, churches and terrible constructions, in a city of miracles of a science and technics to extract to itself a life under gold heads of temples and leaders.

Having unloaded itself from a train, Makar has gone to visible Moscow, being interested in this central city. Not to get off, Makar walked about rails and was surprised to frequent station platforms. Near platforms grew pine and fir forests, and in woods there were wooden small houses. Trees grew liquid, under them wine bottles, sausage skins and the other spoilt good rolled konfetnye pieces of paper. The grass under oppression of the person here did not grow, and trees too suffered more and grew a little. Makar understood such nature vaguely: "Not then special villains live, what even plants die from them! After all it is rather sad: the person lives and gives birth near to desert! Where here a science and technics?" Having stroked a breast from a regret, Makar has gone further. On a station platform unloaded from the car empty dairy cans, and with milk put in the car. Makar has stopped from the thought:
-- Again technicians are not present! - has aloud defined Makar such polozhenie. - With milk ware carry it it is correct: in a city too there live children and milk expect. But empty cans what for to carry by the car? After all only technics in vain spend, and ware voluminous! Makar has approached to the dairy chief who managed cans, and has advised to it to construct from here and up to Moscow a dairy pipe not to drive cars with empty dairy ware. Dairy chief Makara has listened - he respected people from weights, - however has advised Makaru to address to Moscow: the cleverest people there sit, and they manage all repairings. Makar oserchal:
-- So after all you carry milk, instead of they! They only drink it, superfluous expenses of technics it is not visible to them! The chief has explained:
-- My business to dress up cargoes: I am an executor, instead of the inventor of pipes. Then Makar it has lagged behind and has gone having doubted up to Moscow. In Moscow there was later a morning. Ten thousand people rushed on streets, as if peasants on harvesting. "That they will do? - Stood and thought Makar in a thick continuous ljudej. - Likely, here mighty factories stand, that dress and put on all far rural people!" Makar has looked at the boots and has told to running people "thanks!" - without them he would live razutym and undressed. Almost all people had under mouses leather bags where, possibly, shoe nails and a waxed thread laid. "Only that they run; forces spend" - was puzzled Makar. - would Start up better at home worked, and harchi it is possible to carry on court yard a tug! "But people ran, climbed in trams before full compression of springs and did not regret the body for the sake of advantage of work. With it Makar it was quite satisfied." Good people, - he thought, - it is difficult to seize it upon the workshops, and hunting! " Trams Makaru have liked, because they go also the machinist sits in the forward car very easily as if it carries nothing. Makar too has got into the car without any effort as it was pushed there by back urgent people: the Car has gone smoothly, under a floor invisible force of the car growled, and Makar listened to it and sympathised with it. "The poor working woman! - thought Makar about mashine. - Carries and makes an effort. But useful people to one place bears, - live feet protects!" The woman - the tram mistress - gave to people of the receipt, but Makar not to complicate the mistress, has refused the receipt:
-- I so! - has told Makar and has passed by. To the mistress shouted, that it something has given on demand, and the mistress agreed. Makar to check up, that here give, too has told:
-- The mistress, give also to me something on demand! The mistress has pulled a cord, and a tram soon okorotilsja on a place.
-- Vylaz, - you on demand, - citizens Makaru have told and have pushed out its pressure. Makar left on air. Air was capital: smelt as the raised gas of cars and a pig-iron dust of tram brakes.
-- And where here the centre of the state? - Has asked Makar the unintentional person. The person has shown a hand and has thrown a cigarette in a street garbage can. Makar has approached to a bucket and too has spat there to have the right to use all in a city. Houses stood so heavy and high, that Makar has regretted the Soviet power: to difficultly it to hold in an integrity such housing tackle. At a crossroads the militiaman has lifted an end face upwards a red stick, and of the left hand has made a fist for podvodchika, carrying a rye flour. "A rye flour here do not respect, - has concluded in mind Makar, - here white zhamkami are fed".
-- Where here there is a centre? - Has asked Makar the militiaman. The militiaman has shown Makaru under a foot and has informed:
-- At the Bolshoi theatre, in a broad gull. Makar has descended downhill and has come to be among two flower lawns. From one side of the area there was a wall, and from another the house with columns. Those columns held above the four of pig-iron horses, and it would be possible to make columns is more thin, because the four was not so heavy. Makar began to search on the area for any pole with a red flag which would mean the middle of the central city and the centre of all state, but such pole anywhere was not, and there was a stone with an inscription. Makar has leant against a stone to stand in the centre and to like respect for and for the state. Makar has happily sighed and has felt hunger. Then it has gone to the river and has seen construction of the extreme house.
-- What here build? - He has asked the passer-by.
-- The eternal house from iron, concrete, a steel and light glass! - the passer-by has answered. Makar has decided to visit there to work on construction and to attempt. In collars there were guards. The policeman has asked:
-- To you of that, zhlob?
-- To me to work something, and that I have become unproductive, - have declared Makar.
-- That will you work here when you have come without any coupon? - The policeman has sadly spoken. The mason Here has approached and has listened with delight Makara.
-- Go to our barrack to the general copper, - there children will feed you, - has helped Makaru kamenshchik. - And arrive you to us at once cannot, you live on an ox, and so - anybody. To you it is necessary to register at first in the union of workers, through class supervision to pass. And Makar has gone to a barrack to eat from a copper, to support in itself a life for the further best destiny.

On construction of that house in Moscow which the counter person eternal has named, Makar has got on. At first he has gorged on black and nutritious porridge in a working barrack, and has then gone to examine building work. Really, the earth everywhere has been amazed by holes, the people fussed, cars of the unknown name hammered in piles into a ground. Concrete porridge samotekom went on trays, and other labour events too occurred on eyes. It is visible, that the house was under construction, though it is not known for whom. Makar also was not interested, that to whom will get, - he was interested in technics as the future blessing for all people. Chief Makara on native village - a companion the Lion Mad, that, of course, on the contrary, has become interested in floor space distribution in the future house, instead of the pig-iron pile grandma, but at Makara there were only competent hands, and a head - are not present; therefore he only also thought, as though that to make. Makar has bypassed all construction and has seen, that job goes quickly and safely. However something abstrusely pined in Makare - while it is not known that. It left on the middle of jobs and has taken of a work overall picture the view: obviously something lacked on construction, something has been lost, but that - it is not known. Only any conscientious working melancholy grew in a breast at Makara. From grief and that nourishingly attempted, Makar has found a silent place and there has departed to a dream. In dream Makar saw lake, the birds, the forgotten rural grove and that is necessary that does not suffice on construction, - that Makar has not seen. Then Makar has woken up and has suddenly opened a construction lack: workers packed concrete in iron skeletons that the wall has turned out. But same not technics, and manual labour! That the technics has turned out, it is necessary to submit concrete upward pipes, and the worker will hold only a pipe and not to get tired, this most not allowing to pass to red force of mind in unskilled workers of a hand. Makar has now gone to search for the main Moscow scientific and technical office. Such office was located in a strong fireproof premise, in one city ravine. Makar has found there one small at doors and has told to it, that he has invented a building gut. To small it has listened and even has asked on what Makar itself did not know, and has then sent Makara on a ladder to the main copyist. This copyist was the scientific engineer, however he has decided to write for some reason on a paper, not concerning with hands of building business. Makar and to it has told about a gut.
-- Houses should to be built, and to cast, - has told Makar to the scientific copyist. The copyist has heard and has concluded:
-- And than you will prove a companion the inventor, what your gut is cheaper than usual concreting?
-- And that I clearly feel it, - has proved Makar. The copyist has thought something secretly and has sent Makara to the corridor end:
-- There give to deprived inventors on rouble on harchi and the return ticket by rail. Makar has received rouble, but has refused the ticket as he has decided to live forward and irrevocably. In other room Makaru have given a paper in trade union that it has got there the strengthened support as the person from weight and the inventor of a gut. Makar has thought, that in trade union to it today should give money for the gut device, and has joyfully gone there. The trade union was located in more enormous house, than technical office. Hour two wandered Makar on gorges of that trade-union house in search of the chief of mass people that has been written on a paper, but the chief has not appeared on an office place - he somewhere cared of other workers. The chief has come to twilight, has eaten fried eggs and has read piece of paper Makara via the assistant - enough the pretty and advanced maiden with the big plait. That maiden descended in cash desk and has brought Makaru new rouble, and Makar has undersigned for its reception as the jobless farm laborer. Paper Makaru have given back. On it among other letters now appeared: "Companion Lopin, help a member of our union to arrange its invention of a gut on an industrial line". Makar remained it is happy and for other day has gone to search for an industrial line, to see on it companion Lopina. Neither the militiaman, nor passers-by did not know such line, and Makar has decided it to find independently. In streets posters and red sateen with an inscription of that establishment which and was necessary Makaru hung. On posters it was clearly specified, that all proletariat should stand firmly on a line of development of the industry. It has taught at once Makara: it is necessary to find at first proletariat, and under it there will be a line and somewhere nearby companion Lopin.
-- Companion the militiaman, - has addressed Makar, - show to me road on proletariat. The militiaman has got the book, has found there the address of proletariat and that address noble Makaru has told.

Makar went across Moscow to proletariat and was surprised to the force of a city running in buses, trams and on live feet of crowd. "Much harchej it is necessary to feed such telodvizhenie!" - argued Makar in the head, able to think, when hands have not been occupied. Anxious and begun to grieve Makar, at last, has reached that house which site to it has specified postovoj. That house has appeared nochlezhnym a shelter where the poor class bent at night the head. Earlier, in pre-revolutionary stay, a poor class bent the head on the simple earth, and over that golovoju there were rains, month shone, stars went, winds blew, and that head laid, styla and slept, because it was tired. Now the head of a poor class had a rest on a pillow under a ceiling and an iron cover of a roof, and the night wind of the nature any more did not disturb hair on a head of the poor man, there is no time globe laying directly on a surface. Makar has seen some new clean houses and remained it is happy with the Soviet power. " Anything to itself vlastishka! - has estimated Makar. - Only it is necessary, that it has not got spoilt, because it ours! "In nochlezhnom the house there was an office, as in all Moscow apartment houses. Without office, it appears, everywhere the end of the world now would begin, and copyists gave to all life though also slow, but a correct course. Makar and pistsov respected." Let live! - has solved about them Makar. - They think something, time receives the salary, and time they from a post thinks, probably, become clever people, and them and it is necessary for us! "
-- To you of that? - The commandant of a lodging for the night has asked Makara.
-- The proletariat would be necessary to me, - has informed Makar.
-- What layer? - The commandant learnt. Makar did not begin to reflect - he knew forward, that it is necessary for it.
-- Bottom, - has told Makar. - It more densely, there it is more than people, there the weight!
-- Aha! - has understood komendant. - Then you should wait for evening: whom will come more, with those and to spend the night you will go either with beggars, or with seasonal workers...
-- To me with those who the socialism builds, - has asked Makar.
-- Aha! - has again understood komendant. - So to you it is necessary, who builds new houses? Makar here has doubted.
-- So houses and built earlier, when Lenin was not. What to you socialism in the empty house? The commandant too has reflected, as he precisely did not know, in what kind the socialism should be presented - whether there will be in socialism a surprising pleasure, and what?
-- Houses built earlier, - has agreed komendant. - Only in them then there lived villains, and now I give the coupon to you on spending the night in the new house.
-- Correctly, - was delighted Makar. - Means, you the correct assistant to the Soviet power. Makar took the coupon and villages on a heap of the brick which has remained homeless from construction. "Too... - argued Makar, - the brick under me lays, and the proletariat did that brick and suffered: the Soviet power is small
-- The property does not see! "Dosidel Makar on a brick see you in the evening also has tracked, serially, as the sun has died away, as fires were lighted, as sparrows have disappeared from manure on rest. Proletarians began to be, at last: who with bread, who without it, who the patient, who got tired, but all pretty from long work and kind that kindness which occurs from exhaustion. Makar has waited, while the proletariat has sprawled on the state cots and has taken breath from day building. Then Makar has safely entered in nochlezhnuju to a hall and declared, becoming in the middle of a floor:
-- Companions workers of work! You live in the native city of Moscow, in the central force of the state, and in him disorders and losses of values. The proletariat has moved on cots.
-- Mitry! - has deafly said someone's wide golos. - Set it slightly that it became normal. Makar has not taken offence, because before it the proletariat, instead of hostile force laid.
-- At you not all have invented, - spoke Makar. - Dairy banks from under milk by valuable cars carry, and they empty, - them have drunk. Here pipes was also the piston pump enough... The Same and in building of houses and sheds - them should be cast from a gut, and you on trifles build them... I have thought up that gut also to you its gift I give, that socialism and an other accomplishment have come more soon....
-- What gut? - Has said the same deaf voice of the invisible proletarian.
-- The gut, - has confirmed Makar. The proletariat at first has kept silent, and then someone's clear voice has cried out certain words from a distant corner, and Makar them has heard, as a wind:
-- To us force is not expensive - we and on a house trifle will put, - to us of a shower road. Time you the person, business not in houses, and in heart. We here all on calculations work, on a labour safety we live, on trade unions we stand, on clubs we take a great interest, and against each other we do not pay attention - each other to the law have charged... You Give soul, time the inventor! Makar at once has lost courage. He invented any things, but souls did not concern, and it has appeared for the local people the main invention. Makar has laid down on the state cot and has calmed down from doubt, that all life was engaged in not proletarian business. Slept Makar not for long because he in a dream has started to suffer. And the suffering has passed it in a dream: it has dreamt about mountain, or a height, and on that mountain there was a scientific person. And Makar laid under that mountain as the sleepy fool, and looked at the scientific person, expecting from it either a word, or business. But that person stood and was silent, not seeing gorjujushchego Makara and thinking only about complete scale, but not about private Makare. The person uchenejshego the person has been shined by a glow of a distant mass life that was spread under it in the distance, and eyes were terrible and dead from a finding at height and too far look. Scientific was silent, and Makar laid in a dream and grieved.
-- What to me to do in a life that I and another was necessary to myself? - Has asked Makar and has calmed down for horror. The scientific person was silent still without the answer, and millions live lives were reflected in its dead eyes. Then Makar in surprise has spread on height on dead stony soil. Three times it included fear before is motionless-scientific, and three times the fear was expelled by curiosity. If Makar was the clever person it would not get on that height, but it was the backward person, having only curious hands under an imperceptible head. And force of curious nonsense Makar dolez to obrazovannejshego also has touched slightly its thick, enormous body. From a touch the unknown body has moved, as live, and at once has failed on Makara because it was dead. Makar has woken up from blow and has seen over itself nochlezhnogo the supervisor who has concerned with its teapot on a head that Makar has woken up. Villages Makar on a cot also has seen the speckled proletarian who has washed from a saucer without loss of a drop of water. Makar was surprised to a way absolutely to wash a handful of water and has asked the speckled:
-- All have left on job that you one stand and wash? Speckled promoknul the wet person about a pillow, has dried up and has answered:
-- It is a lot of working proletarians, and thinking it is not enough, - I have planned to myself to think for all. You have understood me or are silent from stupidity and ugnetenja?
-- From a grief and doubt, - has answered Makar.
-- Aha, then we will go, so, with me and we will think for everything, - thinking, the speckled has expressed. And Makar has risen to go with the speckled person, under the name Peter to find the purpose. Towards Makaru and to Peter there was a big variety of the women dressed in hard clothes, specifying, that women would wish to be naked; also was men much, but they took cover more freely for a body. Great thousand other women and men, regretting the trunks, went in cars and phaetons, and also in hardly attracted trams which gnashed from live weight of people, but suffered. Going and the pedestrian aspired forward, having scientific expression of persons, than in a root resembled that great and powerful person who Makar inviolably beheld in a dream. From supervision of continuous scientifically-competent persons Makaru has become terribly in internal feeling. For the help he has had a look at Peter: whether there is also that only scientific person with a sight afar?
-- You probably know all sciences and see too far? - Has shy asked Makar. Peter has concentrated the consciousness.
-- I? I hope to exist like Ilyich-Lenin: I look and afar, both vbliz, and vshirku, both deep into, and upwards.
-- Yes that! - has calmed down Makar. - And that I recently saw the enormous scientific person: so he in one distance looks, and about it - sazhens two will be - one separate person lays and suffers unaided.
-- Still, - has cleverly said Petr. - It on a bias costs, and it seems to it, that all in the distance, and close is not present a devil! And another only under feet to itself(himself) looks - as though on a lump not to stumble and not to hit to death - and to consider itself right; and to weights to live on silent to a course it is boring. We, the brother, are not afraid of lumps of soil!
-- At us the people now the put! - has confirmed Makar. But Peter held the reflexion forward, not leaving on what.
-- You saw sometime communist party?
-- No, companion Peter, to me it did not show. I in village of a companion Mad saw!
-- Mad companions here again there is a full quantity. And I speak you about pure party, at which an accurate look in an exact point. When I am on a descent among party, always myself the fool I feel.
-- Why so, companion Peter? You after all on an exterior almost scientific.
-- Because at me the body eats mind. I viands would like, and the party speaks: forward factories we will construct - without iron bread grows poorly. You have understood me, what here a course just right?!
-- Has understood, - has answered Makar. Who builds cars and factories, he understood those at once, as if the scientist. Makar since the birth observed glinosolomennye villages and at all did not believe in their fate without fire cars.
-- Here, - has informed Petr. - And you speak: the person recently has not liked you! It and parties and me is not pleasant: after all the fool-capitalism has made it; and we similar gradually under a bias lower those!
-- I too feel something, only I do not know that! - has expressed Makar.
-- And time you do not know - that follow in a life under my management; otherwise you from a thin line will inevitably be burst downwards. Makar has distracted a look on the Moscow people and has thought: "People here full, persons at all clean, live they plentifully, - they should breed, and children imperceptibly". About it Makar has informed Peter.
-- Here not the nature, and culture, - has explained Petr. - Here people live families without reproduction, here eat without work manufacture...
-- And how? - Was surprised Makar.
-- And so, - has informed knowing Petr. - Other will write one thought on the receipt, - for it him with family of the whole one and a half year feed... And another also does not write anything - simply lives for edification to another. Went Makar and Peter see you in the evening, have examined the Moskva River, streets, benches where the jersey was on sale, and have wanted to eat.
-- Let's go to militia to have dinner, - Peter has told. Makar has gone: he has thought, that in militia feed.
-- I will speak, and you be silent and partly suffer, - Makara Peter in advance has warned. In militsionnom branch robbers, homeless, people-animals and unknown persons unfortunate sat. And against all the supervisor on duty sat and accepted the people in a live nape. Others he sent in arestnyj the house, others - in hospital, others eliminated away back. When the turn has reached Peter and Makara Peter has told:
-- Companion the chief, I to you in the street has caught the loony and for a hand has resulted.
-- What it the loony? - The person on duty on otdeleniju. asked - That it has broken in a public place?
-- And anything, - has openly told Petr. - It goes and worries, and then takes and will kill: judge it then. And the best struggle against criminality is its prevention. Here I also have warned a crime.
-- Reason! - has agreed nachalnik. - I now will direct it to institute of psychopaths - on the general research... The Militiaman has written a piece of paper and has begun to grieve.
-- There is nobody you to forward - all people in dispersal...
-- Give I it I will reduce, - has offered Petr. - I the person normal, it he is a loony.
-- Bring down! - the militiaman was delighted and has given to Peter a piece of paper. To institute dushevnoboljashchih Peter and Makar have come an hour later. Peter has told, that it is put by militia to the dangerous fool and cannot leave it for a minute, and the fool ate nothing and now will start to storm.
-- Go on kitchen, to you there will allow to attempt, - kind sister-posidelka has specified.
-- He eats much, - Peter has refused, - it is necessary to it of a Russian cabbage soup pig-iron and porridges two pig-iron. Let will bring here, and that it still harknet in the general copper. Sister sluzhebno has disposed. Makaru have brought a threefold portion of tasty meal, and Peter was sated at the same time with Makarom. Shortly Makara the doctor has accepted and has started to ask at Makara such detailed thoughts, that Makar on ignorance of the life answered these doctor's questions as the madman. Here the doctor has felt Makara and has found, that in its heart superfluous blood rages.
-- It is necessary to leave it on test, - the doctor has concluded about Makara. And Makar with Peter remained to spend the night in sincere hospital. In the evening they have gone to a reading room, and Peter has started to read Makaru Lenin's books aloud.
-- Our establishments - dung, - read Lenin Peter, and Makar listened and was surprised accuracy of mind Lenina. - Our laws - dung. We are able to order and we are not able to execute. In our establishments people hostile to us sit, and other our companions became dignitaries and work, as fools... Others sick of soul too have listened with delight Lenin, - they did not know earlier, that Lenin knew all.

Peter knew, where it is necessary to go - in RKI, there like zhalobshchikov and any depressed. Having slightly opened the first door in top corridor RKI, they have seen there absence of people. Over the second door the short poster "Who of whom hung?", and Peter with Makarom have entered there. In a room there was nobody, except tov. A lion Mad which sat also something managed, having left the village on an arbitrariness of poor men. Makar was not frightened Mad and has told to Peter:
-- Time is spoken "who of whom?", give we it...
-- No, - skilled Peter, - at us the state, instead of noodles has rejected. We go above. Above them have accepted, because there there was a melancholy on people and on local valid mind.
-- We - class members, - Peter to the higher nachalniku. has told - At us mind has collected, give to us to the power over the oppressive writing stinker...

The lion Mad remained one in establishment as anybody in writing did not withdraw it therefrom. Also there was it there until the commission on affairs of liquidation of the state has been appointed. In it tov. Mad has worked forty four years and has died among oblivion and writing affairs in which its organizational state-mind has been placed.
