On their last day of training, the instructor separates the three and and puts them in separate rooms, calling them one by one into the Presidential hallway. "Sergeant Andreyev, come into the hallway." "Yes, sir!" Andreyev marched into the hallway. "Sergeant, behind that door is President Putin. He is alone and undefended. On the table is a gun. You are to shoot him and then report back to me." Sergeant Andreyev goes into the room and closes the door. Two minutes later, he returns. "Sir, my respect and admiration for our leader and Protector of Russia is too great and I will not shoot him." "Very good, Sergeant. Return to the room and tell no one of what happened here. Bring me Sergeant Brusilov!" "Yes, sir!" Brusilov marched into the hallway. "Sergeant, behind that door is President Putin. He is alone and undefended. On the table is a gun.
