Lzherusskia Welcomes Careful Diplomats

[Lzherusskia]

Lzher Embassy Programme

To: The world at large

My friends,

To my knowledge, Lzherusskia has never had an embassy programme, and this pains me. For decades, we willingly secluded ourselves from all and sundry, desperately trying to prove that the Lzher people needed nobody to survive and flourish, but seclusion is no way to live in this modern day. There is a whole enormous world of diplomacy to see and in the interests of finding friends, allies and occasional bitter sporting rivalries, I would like to cordially welcome the nations of the world to establish an embassy in the Fatherland.

There will be those of you who will object to the idea of establishing diplomatic relations with a nation that takes pride in it's status as a dictatorship, and I understand. The word "dictator" does have a number of unfortunate connotations, earned from centuries of psychopaths and madmen rising to absolute power and allowing it to corrupt them absolutely, but in Lzherusskia, none of this is the case. I do not oppress my people - I work tirelessly to ensure they enjoy as high a standard of living as I can possibly achieve - and I would like to demonstrate that dictatorship does not mean tyranny.

Embassies will be established in our capital city of Smyslova, where land has been set aside for some time. Besides being the political centre of the nation, Smyslova is one of our foremost business hubs and full of the greatest displays of Lzher culture to be found anywhere in Lzherusskia.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

His Eminence, Herald of the Revolution, Commissar Marat Yurievich Revyakin

To: Minister Waters, Anollasia

Honoured Minister,

It is my pleasure to welcome Ambassador Stanski to Lzherusskia. As a man of clear talent and obvious political acumen, I hope he will find his time here to be both a pleasure and a challenge. I consider Anollasia a friend to the Lzher people already and, in time, I hope this will be reciprocated.

In answer to your question, I have a personal interest in common forenames of the world. I find it fascinating how many nations with absolutely nothing in common have nonetheless adopted similar naming customs, and so I thank you for your contribution.

Your application is accepted.

Yours graciously,

His Eminence, Father of the Revolution, Commissar Marat Yurievich Revyakin

[Lzherusskia]

To: Steven Trisimi, Yorudan

Mr. Trisimi,

Around a century ago, Lzherusskia was in the position of your great nation and so, we are very happy to be the first to offer you the hand of friendship and words of advice. Integrating with modern society and culture is a fine ambition, but take care that doing so does not cause your own national identity to erode. Do not try to be all things to all people.

It is an honour to welcome a woman of Ms. Formino's political standing to Lzherusskia. I am told my Honoured Minister for International Affairs, Evgeni Kurakin, is extremely keen to make Ms. Formino's acquaintance, on both a political and a personal level - although please assure the Deputy Secretary that Mr. Kurakin's reputation as a womaniser is far greater than the reality.

In answer to your question, Lzherusskia is staunchly capitalist and a great advocate of the free market. I understand that Yorudan is a socialist nation, but not why. Nonetheless, it is not my place to judge and I would not wish to. The diplomatic world would not function if the world were united in everything, after all.

Your application is accepted.

Yours graciously,

His Eminence, Father of the Revolution, Commissar Marat Yurievich Revyakin
