Перево�д


  • There is a law in Russia which bans the use of female labour in diffi-

    consequences for the whole world.

    nothing to do there, nowhere to go in the evenings, no one to play
    tennis with and no one to talk to. But when we come to Moscow,
    she never goes anywhere, never plays tennis with anyone and never
    talks to anyone. She just sits in her room and does nothing.
