case at the book fair
It was in the late 80's to MKVYA (if I remember the acronym). Exhibition lousy swarming гебистами. Ни раньше, ни потом такого не наблюдалось. На входе они стояли в несколько рядов, осматривая вещи у людей, выходивших с выставки. Войти можно было только empty-handed, leaving things in the luggage, so everything in the hands of the visitors were coming out from the show. I typed the string bag full brochures and free журнал, который выдавали как образец всем желающим. В журнале были статьи на разных европейских языках, а в конце содержание на трёх языках: английском, немецком and French. At the exit I was detained a young man in civilian clothes and offered to go into the room next to the exit. There he handed me tight mustache peasant, which showed identity of Captain KGB. Interested him this very magazine. He asked me why I took with him an exhibit from the exhibition. I replied that I it gave stendovik (there is such a word?). Moustache said that it could be a provocation, because they deliberately hand out a lot, and then produces the Soviet side claim for loss or required to pay the money because all of the exhibits are insured. I replied that it is impossible to insure a free copy and demonstrated a surcharge on the journal: free sample. Then he demanded in any case to get a stendovika special permission to take away the magazine. I went to the bench and told about the problem of the foreigner. He was surprised a lot of this turnover, because, apparently, never with such stupidity does not come across. Inscription on the journal: OK, put his signature and date. I went back to the KGB man. I must say that I do not detained, and the magazine, so I could leave this magazine and go home, but I did not want do so out of principle. I knew that there was nothing seditious in the magazine there, otherwise I would not put it in a string bag, and hid be better. KGB man looked the inscription stendovika and began to invent new tricks. It was clear that for some reason he does not want this magazine left the show. Unfortunately, I immediately fresh impressions are not recorded this event, so all the tricks I do not remember. Tell only about the latter. KGB man demanded that the permission for removal has been received in a certain section of the exhibition. Suppose, in the Division of General Affairs (the exact name forgotten). I went to the administration and asked where such a department. I was told that they have no department with that name. I hurried back to tell the captain of the good news that they invented the department does not exist. I saw that he was not alone, and beside him a younger subject. The captain pointed me to this young and said that I have a problem. Young picked up a magazine and immediately looked into the contents. Gave me a magazine and told the captain that you can make. Then I realized what the problem is the mustachioed captain. He did not know any foreign language, so self- could not decide on the status of the journal (whether it sedition?). But he decided better perebdet and in any case not to release the magazine from the show.
