Your turn, remember? Explanation: Very often politics appear as a game of strategic skill for two players, and compared with two who're playing chess. I used to play computer chess and I had this short reminder sometimes:" Your turn, remember?"( You're quiet, what is your next turn? ). Each line of the poem is written in different accents with typical mistakes in Russian language.I can recognize some uzbek or other Central Asia's natives.A subject of a foreighn accent is a material for humour writers in any country and USSR wasn' an exception.Such a bouquet of different accents most likely represents "ALL NATIONS' FRIENDSHIP" - a popular CPSU motto in times of millitary glory of heavily armed USSR .Fifteen Republics - fifteen languages; but communists wanted too much, you know, not everybody in the school has good marks when learning foreighn languages. What Gamzatov had meant with calling his poem this way - some chronices might bring you on the right track. |
