Куда меня закинула судьба! 

Won’t guess it… I ‘m guilty

Confused are thoughts... expecting something.

With whom was I!

Where was I thrown by my fate!

Бегу, не оглянусь, пойду искать по свету, 
Где оскорбленному есть чувству уголок!.. 
Карету мне, карету!

Get out of Moscow! I’ll come back no longer here.

IX. The Summary (Слайд 18)

People who claim that they know how to make peoples’ life happier are politicians.

All of them are many-sided personalities. They have profound knowledge in various spheres. Most of them are truly successful diplomats. They stand for peace between nations and countries.

Nowadays local conflicts threaten peace and make living in many areas dangerous. Terrorist attacks are becoming more and more bold and destructive. Under these conditions real politicians do their best: they try to provide  peace, help people unite despite of their religious and social beliefs.
