Good omens 30

(Russia is a country of opportunity and freedom... I would say so if the authorities did not step on the same rake of the past and did not go crazy... in the literal and figurative sense... okay, forget it, I know that you did not come here for this... ahem ahem... ancient Russia was one of the most progressive countries of that time, everyone then wanted to seize it for their own purposes... impostors ruled there more than once... it was a time of turmoil and faith, which played the most important role in it... the clergy had an almost enormous influence on people... but there were always those who would take advantage of this... Crowley and Aziraphale crossed paths again, though only once... Aziraphale was supposed to guide the new king on the right path, and Crowley, as a demon, was supposed to do dirty tricks and all that... but at night, while Aziraphale was in the palace, Crowley was suddenly grabbed by sectarians, gagging him with a rag and somehow tying him up, because Crowley fought back too fiercely...by the way, they didn't know that Crowley was a demon...) Dima: Do you think our master will like him? I heard he gives any gifts for beautiful victims... (he said, dragging Crowley to the shelter) Andrey: Don't listen to the elders' tales, the master loves snakes and vegetation, and these nobles are like things or food to him (he said, lighting the way with a torch) Dima: (snorted and rolled his eyes) and how do you know? Andrey: The devils told me...you know what kind of connections we have with them
