Sometimes a stick is just a stick and nothing more
At Lavrov’s, there is a construction crew, and now I have this analogy that the whole story resembles the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Why? Because there are characters very typical of this fairy tale. For example, there is a foreman who resembles a grumpy character. There is a silent one, the builder Sergey. There is Nikolai, who is a joker. And a couple of young dwarfs who are currently at another site. It’s still unclear what their characteristics are. Yes, it’s still unclear, but I have little interaction with them. But there is a strongman, a handsome strongman. And some average one, I don’t know who. I need to get closer to understand. Yes, I need to, so. And I usually come in, I communicate with the Grumpy one. He positions himself as the foreman, but when he gets tired, he introduces me to some other dwarfs. And whatever I order, all my decisions are not to Grumpy’s liking. He starts giving me a thousand reasons to switch to his suppliers.
