Same question again, who is your candidate?

He opens the door, looks at it, after examining it a bit, says it's nice, adds that it has a steering wheel. He sits in the seat.

Then he grimaces a little and asks if it doesn't have a gear lever. Actually it's right in front of his eyes, but for some reason I guess he couldn't recognize it as a gear lever.

I show it to him, but I warn him that it's automatic. Still, he moves it back and forth. 

He turns around and asks again with curious eyes, which is the first gear. 

I tell him that this is an autonomous electric vehicle with automatic transmission. 

He says he understands that. Then he looks a little more at the internal components and asks how do we open the hood. 

I open it.

He examines the engine with curious eyes. Then he says he can't see the spark plugs. 

I say, "Sir, I told you, this is a vehicle with an amplified electric motor, there are no spark plugs," I reply in a slightly bored tone.

He says I understand that, cars have an electrical system anyway, I'm not that ignorant, he says in a slightly annoyed tone. Doesn't the spark plug also work with electricity, he adds. That's why I asked him.

Sir, I say, spark plug systems are in classic engines, this engine runs on electricity, I explain again.

My dear, he says, my car also has a battery. He says mine has electricity too. He looks a little more. Then he says he can't see the distributor.

I can't help going crazy, he's obsessed with it, he thinks it's a gasoline engine.

I take a breath to calm down and say, "Sir, there is no distributor on this one.

He says it's interesting, how did the giaours build this engine without a distributor, and gives me a look that shows he is amazed.

I list the standard features of the vehicle again. When I tell him about the autonomous feature, he suddenly says no, not without a driver!

How will the car go without a driver, he asks again.

I try desperately to explain again. 

I tell him that this vehicle has a computer, I say it has six cores, information comes from various sensors of the vehicle, this information is evaluated in the computer and accordingly the six-core computer manages the vehicle. 

And you sit comfortably in the seat while the vehicle drives itself.

He asks what six cores are. With a look as if he understood it all and only that part he didn't understand.

I tell him to think of it as six drivers and I confuse him even more. At that moment I get angry with myself, wishing I hadn't made that analogy.

He asks me again how that will work. Can it be without a driver, he insists on his question again. Besides, he says, a little hesitantly, asking that ridiculous question that I am afraid of how six drivers will sit in that single seat.

I try to explain again, not six drivers, sir, but six cores, the main decision-making elements in his computer.

He scratches his head slightly and walks around the back of the vehicle to the other side. He doesn't seem convinced. Then he goes back to the back of the vehicle. 

Where is the gas cap this time, he asks me while looking for the gas cap with curious eyes.

I don't know what to say. I go to him and show him the charging port at the back of the vehicle. 

This time he asks if the battery runs out frequently. 

He says that mine has a good battery, the last time I changed it was five years ago. I have never charged it, he adds. Why did they make such an entrance to charge the battery, and if it runs out, doesn't it happen when you replace it, he asks a ridiculous question again.

Then, without waiting for an answer, he returns to the old question, saying, "I'm not saying that, I'm asking where do we put the gasoline?

I say, "Sir, I told you before that this vehicle does not have gasoline.

He immediately pastes the question I was waiting for, is this vehicle a diesel? 

No sir, I say, I told you, this vehicle is an autonomous vehicle with an electric motor, in other words, it is a state-of-the-art TOGG that can move without a driver.

Call it TOGG, he says, a little angry, but with a slight smile on his face. Reyis says it's a good thing he had these cars built and starts to explain himself. He goes on and on, he says Reyis, he says he built roads, he says he built bridges, he says he built hospitals. He says and says.

Then he brings the subject to the car again.

It's good, but they are too expensive, he laments. We can't afford them, he sighs deeply.

Then he asks again, "Where did you say we get gasoline from?

That's what it feels like to me when they ask who is the candidate for the sextet. 

It's like they're always asking who will be the driver. It's all about who will be the candidate. 

They say where is the spark plug for this system, where is the distributor? Where are we going to put the gasoline?

You try to explain that this system doesn't work like that. 

But for some reason even the smartest don't understand. He turns around again and asks who will be the candidate. 

Maybe he understands but is pretending not to understand. I don't know. But it seems to me that they really don't understand.

You say this will be a completely different system of governance. Just like we said this is a different vehicle in our story above. 

It's like they are obsessed, but they say the president will govern the country, that's why they ask over and over again who is your presidential candidate.

You say road map, you say joint government plan, you say strengthened parliamentary system. Tell them all you want, they don't care. Who will be the candidate? This is the only question.

When I explain it to those who understand a little, they ask how it will work. Then they ask again who the candidate will be, just tell them that.

However, in the discussion programs I watched in the evening, I noticed that the pro-government commentators were in a hurry this time. This time, the six-table meeting lasted too long, and it seems that they got a little excited. One of them even said that this is a constitutional offense. As if anyone on their side cared about the constitution.

When the meeting was over, they didn't know what to say about the final declaration, they went back to criticizing it with meaningless comments.

Of course, I understand these pro-government commentators. 

After all, they all have cornered some corners. Most probably they came to those screens on instruction. Anyway, is there any other way for them to appear on the screens as pro-government commentators? 

In any case, in the event of a possible change of government, they will lose their positions and perhaps their doors of profit will be closed. They know this well. They are aware of this situation. 

Although many of them would immediately change their discourse in such a situation. But for the time being, they are naturally participating in the campaign to smear the opposition without any hint of bravery, as I said, all on instruction. 

However, since they see that a change of power is approaching, like a snowball that snowballs as it descends rapidly from the top to the bottom, they make it very clear on the screens that they are in a panic.

I think the table of six is taking firm steps forward. It is moving a bit slowly, but I think this is normal at this stage. 

Yesterday's meeting lasted a long time, so there was a lot to decide. Time is running out anyway, maybe it would be better for them to come together more often. 

The foundation of a building is actually the most difficult part of construction. Especially if there is a ground problem, if the ground is slippery. You spend a lot of time building the foundations. When the ground is weak or slippery, you need to take special measures. These special measures take a long time and cost a lot of money. So I can say I understand the problems at this stage.

But on a solid foundation, floors are built much more quickly. I hope that the six-table parties will not mislead us, I hope that they will lay a solid foundation so that there will be no problems in the future in the governance of the country.

By the way, I was very sincere in what I wrote about TOGG in the story I wrote at the beginning. It is an initiative that I am really proud of. It is a bit difficult to establish the electricity infrastructure, but in the future, fossil fuel vehicles will be abandoned. Therefore, it is the right decision to have a national vehicle.

But as I have written before, a hydrogen-powered vehicle and perhaps a vehicle powered by compressed air should also be considered.

Autonomous vehicles is another issue.

Autonomous models for all three types should already be considered. 

Because the future will also be about autonomous and driverless vehicles. 

Since we have finally decided to board the train at an intermediate station, we should make the best of what we have done.

Going back to the sextet, I think the sextet is a valuable organization. 

Let me end this article by telling pro-government friends that there is no need to be afraid. If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. This country is enough for all of us.

Don't worry, everything will soon be beautiful, whether you like it or not.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
