To demonstrate this event, the Armenian general personally poured a bottle of water from the Baltic Sea and ordered his adjutant to fly with this bottle to Moscow to Stalin. He flew. But while he was flying, the Germans counterattacked and threw Baghramyan away from the Baltic coast. By the time the adjutant arrived in Moscow, they were already aware of this, but the adjutant himself did not know - there was no radio in the plane. And then the proud adjutant enters Stalin’s office and proudly declares: - Comrade Stalin, General Baghramyan sends you Baltic water!

What is the middle finger?
In Yalta, in 1945, as you know, there was a "Yalta Conference" at which Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt met. At this meeting, the question of redistributing European borders after the upcoming end of the war was decided. And Churchill and Roosevelt suggested to Stalin: "Joseph Vissarionovich! Give us the Crimea, and for that we will give you a piece of Germany of the same size." Stalin thought a little and with his characteristic accent said: “If you guess my riddle, I will give you Krim.” And he shows Churchill and Roosevelt the three fingers of his left hand: the thumb, middle and forefinger. “Which of these three fingers is middle?”, - asked Stalin.
Churchill was surprised at the simplicity of the riddle and grabbed the index finger "Here's the middle one!" "Neeet ... ne guessed," answered Stalin. Roosevelt thought that Stalin was cunning, and all five fingers of his hand should be chosen. Therefore, he pointed to the middle finger. “Neeet ... and you ne guessed,” answered Stalin. Then he folded the cookie from the three fingers of his left hand and showed it to Churchill and Roosevelt: "Here is the gray one! Here is our Cream!"
