Vasily Bochkarev instructed the Penza Region cabinet of ministers to issue pocket calendars with the anthem’s lyrics in every department and, over January and February, learn it and organize group sing-alongs. According to him, this should also be done in schools. Yury Krivov, chairman of the regional government, reminded everyone that the anthem’s lyrics are printed in educational materials. The governor replied that the pocket-calendar format is more convenient, because it can be “kept in your pocket and used if you forget the words.”. “And the main thing is to hold sing-alongs. This needs to be done four times over the course of a month. Even if a person is stupid, they’ll remember it,” Vasily Bochkarev stressed. http://penza.rfn.ru/rnews.html?id=133624 Forget the sing-alongs. In our country, even a very stupid person can work as governor.
