The Sketch how Vanya Zhukov translated the word "Russian" from Russian into English and improved the language of Shakespeare
Vanya Zhukov ran on streets of the capital of the Latin American republic.
In one of the shops continuing to work he saw the working TV.

Vanya quickened the pace. Customers of pizza were waiting for the ordered goods...
