I have invited you, gentlemen, in order to tell you the most unpleasant news: an auditor is coming to visit us.
I seemed to have a presentiment: all night long I dreamed of two extraordinary rats. Really, I have never seen such things: black, unnatural size! They came, sniffed - and went away.
Of course, Alexander the Great is a hero, but why break the chairs?
Also, your assessor ... he, of course, is a knowledgeable person, but there is such a smell from him, as if he had just left the distillery - this is also not good.
And submit Lyapkin-Tyapkin here!
A smart person is either a drunkard, or he will build such a face that at least endure the saints.
God grant that I get away with it as soon as possible, and there I will put a candle like no one else has put: I will charge every merchant’s beast to deliver three poods of wax.
Let everyone pick up along the street ... damn it, down the street - on a broom! And swept the whole street that goes to the tavern, and swept it clean!
It is the more breaking, the more means the activity of the city governor.
Yes, if they ask why the church was not built at a charitable institution, for which a sum was allocated a year ago, then do not forget to say that it began to be built, but burned down. I submitted a report on this. And then, perhaps, someone, having forgotten, will foolishly say that it never even started.
Yes, if a passing official asks the service if they are satisfied, so that they answer “We are satisfied with everything, Your Honor!” And who will be dissatisfied, then after the ladies of such displeasure! ..
Yes, tell Derzhimorda not to give free rein to his fists; for the sake of order, he puts lanterns under the eyes of everyone - both the right and the guilty.
Yes, do not let the soldiers out into the street without anything: this wretched garrison will put on only a uniform over the shirt, and there is nothing below.
AT Saratov province! BUT? and won't blush! Oh, yes, you need to keep an eye on him.
Oh, subtle thing! Ek where tossed! what a fog! figure out who wants it! You don't know which side to take. Well, let's try no where to go! What will be, will be, try at random.
You need to be bolder. He wants to be considered incognito. Well, let's let us turuses too: let's pretend as if we don't know at all what kind of person he is.
Nicely tied a knot! Lies, lies - and will not break anywhere! But what a nondescript, short one, it seems like he would have crushed him with a fingernail. Well, wait, you'll talk to me. I'll make you tell me more!
But let's see how things go after frishtik and a bottle of fat belly! Yes, we have a provincial madeira: unsightly in appearance, but the elephant will be knocked down. If only I could find out what it is and to what extent it is necessary to fear it.
You too! Have not found another place to fall! And stretched like hell knows what it is.
How the crow croaked! (Teasing him.) "He was on orders! .." As if from a barrel, he growls so.
The non-commissioned officer lied to you that I whipped her; she's lying, by God, she's lying. She carved herself!
What, samovar, arshinniki, complain? Arch-crooks, proto-beasts, worldly swindlers, complain?
“We, he says, will not yield to the nobles.” Yes, a nobleman ... oh you, mug! - The nobleman studies sciences: although he is whipped at school, but for the cause, so that he knows useful things.
Still a boy, you don’t know “Our Father”, and you already measure; but as soon as he rips your belly open and stuffs your pocket, he put on airs! Fu you, what an unseen! Because you blow sixteen samovars a day, is that why you put on airs? Yes, I do not care about your head and your importance!
Now you are lying at my feet. From what? - because they took mine; and if you were even a little on your side, you would trample me, scoundrels, to the very dirt, and even pile a log on top.
(hitting his forehead) Like me, no, like me, you old fool! The stupid ram has gone out of his mind!
There he is now flooding the whole road with a bell! Spread history around the world. Not only will you go into a laughingstock - there is a clicker, paper maraca, they will insert you into a comedy. That's what's embarrassing! Chin, the title will not spare, and they will all bare their teeth and clap their hands. What are you laughing at? - Laugh at yourself!
I would have all these paper maracas! Oh, clickers, damned liberals! Damn seed! I would tie you all in a knot, I would wipe you all into flour and damn it in the lining! In a hat there to him! ..
The immortal comedy by N.V. Gogol "The Inspector General" gave us many unforgettable images that are relevant in our time. One of the main characters of the comedy is the mayor Anton Antonovich Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky.
The head of the city is useless from him. The activities of Anton Antonovich led to the fact that everything in the city fell into decay, not a single service honestly works. The mayor sees how bad things are everywhere, but does not want to do anything at all. Judge Lyapkin-Tyapkin, pointing to the disorder in his department, simply says: “I wanted to notice this to you before, but I somehow forgot everything.” Only the news of the arrival of the auditor forced the hero to gather city officials and call on them to restore the appearance of order.
Those, in turn, treat the mayor with respect, because with his tacit consent, each of them violates the law and robs the treasury. Officials express their zeal for service only in words and are secretly afraid of the mayor: “Have mercy, how can you! Weak forces, zeal and zeal for the authorities ... we will try to deserve ... "
Anton Antonovich treats city merchants disrespectfully and harshly, ruthlessly robs them. One of the merchants says this about it: “There has never been such a mayor. He makes such grievances that it is impossible to describe. Let's just wait, he's completely frozen, at least get into the noose ... We always follow the order ... No, you see, all this is not enough for him! He will come to the shop and whatever he gets, he takes everything ... "; “... and already, it seems, you will inflict everything, you don’t need anything; no, give him some more ... ”This characterizes the mayor as a greedy and greedy person.
His goodness is manifested only in relation to his wife and daughter. He does not leave them in the dark about the arrival of the auditor and, even in a hurry, writes a gentle and polite note to his wife: “Kissing, darling, your hand, I remain yours ...”
Thus, the mayor seems to us to be "a not stupid person in his own way", who managed to direct all city affairs to his own enrichment.
The final scene of the comedy is a worthy end to the mayor's activities. He appears fooled stupid person, which was easily circled around the finger by a visiting rogue from St. Petersburg. This was such a shock for Anton Antonovich that he repeats in bewilderment: “How am I - no, how am I, an old fool? The stupid ram has gone out of his mind! Look, look, the whole world, all Christianity, everyone, look how foolish the mayor is!
The mayor has learned a good lesson. Maybe this comedy by Gogol will in our time be a reminder to every official that the same “auditor” may appear in his life.
