[Alexandr Korol]

And so he said that everything has gone and is still going according to plan. But he doesn’t call them aliens — he calls them something else, “brothers,” that’s what he says, but he means aliens. He said:

— They’ve had everything planned long ago. Everything is on schedule, everything is on time. So there will be many more books.

And he said it all in this veiled way, as if everything will soon happen on its own — that everyone will want to talk to me themselves, and I won’t have to prove or impose anything. On the contrary, people will show interest,
