The village Cheremushki gave its name to a new neighborhood, That grew in the South-Western part of the capital. Nearly every Soviet city nowadays has its own Cheremushki neighborhood. In bygone days when someone found himself in a strange city, he felt lost and lonely. Everything around was strange: houses, streets and life itself. But it's all different now. A person comes to a strange city, but feels at home there. To think what lengths of absurdity our ancestors went to, when they designed different architectural projects! Nowadays in every city you will find a standard movie theatre "Rocket", where you can see a standard film. - Do you sell oranges? - Over there. Everyone come to the fair! Christmas decorations, fireworks and presents for everyone. Here, my friends! Names of the streets are not too inventive either. What city doesn't have a 1st Sadovaya or a 2nd Zagorodnaya, a 3rd Factory St., a Park St., an Industrial St., or a 3rd Constructors St.? Sounds romantic, doesn't it? Staircases that all look the same are all painted with a standard pleasant color. Standard apartments furnished with standard furniture, standard locks cut into blind featureless doors. Zhenya, darling, I have an unusual proposition. Oh, is that so? I'm scared already. Zhenya, let's see in the New Year together. Well of course. Isn't that how we planned it? No. You don't understand. Let it be just you and me. What do you mean "just you and me"? I don't understand. Let's not go to the Katanyans. But that's impossible, Galya. We've already made arrangements. They are my friends. And you've already made your crab salad. You know I love crabs! That's great. We'll eat them together. Where will we eat them? You are so slow! We will stay here, at your place. Right here? But what about the Katanyans? Oleg invites me to celebrate at the Ostankino TV tower restaurant. Give me the top. - It rotates. - Who? The restaurant. Well if you want to rotate, then please do. I want to see in the New Year with you. Really? Let's do it then! - You are so stupid! - And who else shall we invite? That's the point. No one. What do you mean, no one? And what about my mother? Your mother will go someplace. She'll cook everything, lay the table, I'll help her. You got a terrific mom. Wonderful idea! How come I didn't think about it myself? One of the two has to be more clever than the other. - It will be you. - Zhenya, stop it! And what about the Katanyans? I don't understand... Oleg invited me to see in the New Year at a monastery in Suzdal. To hell with Oleg! To hell with the monastery! I don't want to go anywhere. I want to be with you. With me? Excuse me, I'm looking for the 3rd Constructors St. It's over there, behind those tall buildings. - You'll see a church there. - Thank you. We will see in the New Year together. Just you and me. I'll have one too many... and become brave and bold...
