A Special Ambassador
to the President of Russia


A dedication to Vitaly Churkin
By Sergey Lavrov

Amidst the tempest, snowfall & slippery roads
Under the aim of NATOs' rifles
And with the unsteady look of an Asian boss
The diplomat uttered his best words.

No threats, no ultimatum
Didn’t break his steps forward
Everyone applauded to the diplomat
He deserved the approval of the world.

You can’t think of a better moment
Spending your birthday on the battlefield
A Special Ambassador to the President
Honorably fulfilled his job.

Afterwards in the Bosnian battles
We drink for our manly deeds
From our hearts we wish you, Vitaly,
Happy Birthday, we are undefeated.
