А конгресът няма да приеме това. Само ако ти измислиш как да го предложим, ако го чуят от теб, може да има шанс това да стане." Тревогата на Лилов идваше от това, че конгресът беше много нахъсан, че хората в него, обкръжени от омраза и от демонтиране на цялото ни социалистическо минало, бяха в кръгова отбрана срещу всичко, което идеше отдясно. Разказах им нещо, което хвана хората за гърлото. Ето я историята. Ваня, ... |
