the soviet government is gathered for a meeting about recent events (i don't care enough to research politicians of the time ngl)

random soviet government official 1: so, how was the flight?
random soviet government official 2: it went excellently. very smooth sailing. though i do have my concerns and i'm sure you can already predict what those are.
random soviet government official 3: are you concerned about the "twerk", sir?
random soviet government official 2: yes.
random soviet government official 4: i myself heavily doubt gagarin saw any twerking aliens, sir. if he did, the word would've gotten out by now, i'm sure.
random soviet government official 2: we are tight on censorship, random soviet government official 4. you know this.
random soviet government official 4: i suppose that's correct, sir. but the twerk is very contagious, sir. if gagarin had seen it, the whole soviet union would be twerking by now.
random soviet government official 2: i think perhaps you underestimate the people's power, random soviet government official 4.
random soviet government official 4: what does that even mean, sir?
random soviet government official 2: i don't know. i will propose an idea - how does bugging gagarin's residence sound to you?
random soviet government official 4: it sounds like a terrible, heinous invasion of privacy. i like it. we must catch the twerk before it causes the crumble of the soviet union... and then, of course, the whole world.
random soviet government official 2: precisely.
