Each country receives such guests, what she deserves
The life of jesters is not easy. Especially court jesters. Not one of them paid with life and health for the privilege of teasing sovereigns with dirty jokes.. For example, the jester of Ivan the Terrible, nicknamed Osip Gvozd, somehow decided to laugh at the thesis about the relationship of the ruler with the Roman emperors. The emperor was outraged by these ridicule, and he tried to dip Osip in boiling cabbage soup. He wanted to dodge, and then the king stuck his knife into him. That's the end of royal jokes.. For Osip Gvozd forever.
Things were no better in civilized Europe. for example, at the court of the French kings Henry III and Henry IV, a malicious puffer named Shiko worked as a jester. And so he liked the sovereigns of the Bourbon dynasty, that they elevated him to the rank of nobility with the right to wear a sword. However, it would be better if they didn't.. Feeling the call of noble blood, Chico entered into a duel with the Comte de Chaligny, defeated him and magnanimously did not disarm. A Count, such a pig, did not understand all the nobility of Shiko and beat him with a sword handle on the jester's cap, precisely speaking, by skull. And killed for good.
Of course, there have been more fun occasions. Take the same jester Antonio Pedrillo from the family of Italian culture tragers. His father was a sculptor, and he himself learned to play the violin. So this Pedrillo rolled up to the court of Anna Ioannovna in St. Petersburg, to play music there. And not that his music did not like the empress, not that Duke Biron himself liked him, but he became the duke's favorite Pedrilla and changed his specialty to satire and humor. Need to say, he was a talented guy and skillfully combined satire with earnings. In addition, he could not refuse in ingenuity. He instantly took me to Naples with a capacious savings box, as soon as Anna Ioannovna rested in the Bose. After all, every extra day of delay in Russia in such cases can be fatal..
When the name of Alexei Navalny appears in the media today, then the question immediately arises, Which of these jokers does he look more like?. Then he blames Donald Trump for the lack of reaction to his, Navalny, poisoning. breakwater, how so? The whole world is in a panic, women shed tears, men drink bitter, and Trump at least the grass does not grow? "I noticed, that Trump did not denounce. I think, which is extremely important, so that everyone, may be, primarily the President of the United States, opposed the use of chemical weapons in the 21st century", - Navalny said in an interview with the TV channel CBS News. Here French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the poisoning, and Trump gave a miss.
Prior to this, Navalny claimed, that chemical weapons of mass destruction against him were personally used by Putin. Not everyone immediately understood the hidden meaning of this statement.. Only now it's clear, that Putin was frightened in the person of Navalny by the masses and used mass poisoning. Or something along those lines.
However, on Osip Gvozd, our hero, migrated to Germany, not pull. Nor Putin, neither Trump notice him, and the glory of the martyr slips by.
Meanwhile, the abyss from the TV screens means to go into the unknown, and now Navalny gives an interview to Bild magazine, in which he assesses the former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, calling him "Putin's errand boy". So rarely can a joker offend the Germans. Schroeder, made a huge contribution to the "Eastern policy" of Germany, enjoys great prestige in the homeland. He is one of the symbols of a strong and peaceful Germany. Therefore, with such a joke, Navalny brought himself closer to the fate of Shiko. Many Germans are so furious with this statement, what, you look, some faint of heart can beat a joker on a jester's cap: not everyone understands the scale of the personality of Alexei Navalny against the background of the insignificance of other politicians. Although hardly: Navalny has constant security, Yes, and Schroeder has already filed a lawsuit against Bild for this interview..
However, the case makes one wonder. Politicians of such a rank and such authority are not accidentally bitten by jesters. Gerhard Schroeder is one of the key figures in the Nord Stream project – 2», and quite clear, in whose interests Navalny acted. Again behind him appeared the ears of the Anglo-Saxons. Seen all over, now he can’t continue to stay in Germany. His already dubious rating hit the bottom. Especially, that the opposition in the Bundestag continues to demand that the murky test results of his poisoning and other doubtful circumstances of this case be dealt with. Where will he go next?, no one doubts.
A little time will pass, and Navalny's camp with songs and dances will migrate to London. To the very bosses of dirty performances, whose favorite pedrilla has long been this jester.
