00:19the movement of the world, the international movement.
00:24We called it the movement of Nevada.
00:27But for this proposal, I would like to vote.

03:18Many словists and turkologists also brought attention to this.
03:28Finally, внимание, they once again read the words of the army and others.
03:37And on the other hand, the book is great, great, great.
03:44Not every author can say about their own book, that it is great.
04:01No West, no West, no West.
04:05There is a passage, there is a great word, there is a great word.
04:28This is the most important idea.
04:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
