The only thing amazes me and urges still to remark something: I, Antonio, Mamuka, Olga write about one thing, but see the answer to absolutely another question. It looks like conversation of two deafs. I cannot believe that one could not understand such a simple thing. On the other hand, it could be horribly to suppose, that everybody understands everything but nevertheless is so cynic... Apparently, we really speak in different languages.

OK, the last attempt. That's not the case, if Lepekhin has good or bad convictions, "correct" or "incorrect" political position. The problem is that he doesn't have any and does not interrest to have it. When I tried to speak about Lepekhin with another Russian MP - Julij Rybakov, he will be in Rome - Mr. Rybakov couldn't even remember, who is this Lepekhin, he doesn't know him, he never have heard any Lepekhin's intervention in Duma. That is unfortunately the parliament we have, but it's already another question...

Dear Luca, you are not interresting for BUYING members, but for CONVINCING them. Va benissimo, appunto, anche io. But in this case you are exactly BUYING. And you are buying not a politician, not a member at all, but... va bene, va bene, saro' piu' gentile.

Why exactly him? I can only guess. Only in "our geographical area" we have 19 MPs enroled for 1995. 8 among them were even not considered to be invited on our cost.

You know, I work for the party here in Russia, because I thought (and I still think) that after December 1993 we are finally trying to make some politically reasonable steps in this country. I am not interresting to work in a travelling agency serving to different lepekhins (where by the way one's sallary would permit to use Agora' on his own cost). And I am not working in such an agency, I hope. I spend my life with the party only because I like it.

Excuse me, if my intervention was too much personal. But some personal reproaches I have seen in Luca's intervention. And I have a personal annoyance, that I was not understood. Or it was just an imitation of not-understanding?..

Abbracci.
