For this they rented a steamship. They invited, of course, not everyone, but only those deemed, so to speak, persuadable. Those who were not persuadable but already convinced were not invited. On the contrary, they tried to keep this gathering secret — not only from the uninvited deputies, but also from journalists, and all the more so from ordinary Nizhny Novgorod residents, who have no need to know how the governor campaigns among the servants of the people. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the general gathering of the participants in the steamship conspiracy took place on the Nizhnevolzhskaya Embankment. They boarded, raised the first toasts. They spoke cynically — to Nizhny Novgorod, to the Nizhny Novgorod Region, to the people... But that was just at first. Then the governor gradually began to hint that if Svatkovsky were put at the head of the city, no small amount of money would come from the region. |
