wrote a note in the newspaper, and this note received publicity in the highest circles. The article referred to the high wooliness and high weight of the received animal. Then everything began. In voluntary compulsory order in all collective farms began a campaign on “gambling.” A new employee of the newspaper “Red subtropics” was sent to the village of Orekhovy Klyuch to consecrate the topic of “gambling” in this village.

The young man pretended to pretend that he did not understand Abkhaz. And he found out that in Russian – “Everything is fine, conditions are created, complementary and so on.”

In Abkhazian everything was exactly the opposite. Kozlotur did not want to breed and chased goats over the corral, threatening with horns.
