"Good day, sirs. I am calling from Zitravgradian Ministry of Science, Technology and Education. We are arranging a set of foreign literature for teaching and further reading in our schools and university. Do you have any famous works (in any language) you would like to recommend to us? But even so, I will have to admit that English, French and German are the more preferred languages and very few professors know Oriental languages."
- Dr. Ivan Feodorovich Belinsky, Minister of Science, Technology and Education
