Apparatchik^[1]

Dmitri A. Medvedev (above), then the Russian president, at Mr. Medvedev's Gorki residence outside Moscow, being interviewed by Russian dissident, Dmitri A. Muratov, 2009. This has to be the all-time classic picture of a politically correct human being, an apparatchik / wokeman, who serves a function. Photograph is from RIA Novosti, an official Russian media organ, so I would presume they thought it was flattering. It reminds me of the Headmaster (below) of the "prep" school I was subjected to here in U.S.A. (1958-64; St. Paul's Illiberal Day Carcel for Pubescent Male Virgins except-for-omerta-sanitary-services-for-jocks), whom everybody else asexually "loved", but he seemed to me to be a dialtone ☏:

Watch the birdie, Ronnie!

And, please, always remember the deepest secret and real meaning of life, the magic words that open all doors and cure all ills and make you happy forever:

"Just say: 'No!'" [Aside: My father's third wife, Melva Bertier Heil, looked like and behaved like and I presume thought(?) like Nancy Reagan and was a bookkeeper for an advertising agency for Republican politicians.]
