  1. A

    Павел Андреевич, вы посмотрели мою главу? Ой... Здесь же всё красное.

    Pavel Andreyevich, have you looked at my chapter? Oh... It's all red.

  2. B

    Посмотрел. Не вешайте нос, Артём: хотя замечаний много, идея у вас хорошая.

    I have. Don't lose heart, Artyom: although there are a lot of comments, your idea is good.

  3. A

    Тогда почему её придётся переписывать почти целиком?

    Then why will I have to rewrite almost all of it?

  4. B

    Потому что использованные источники слабые: три сайта и один старый учебник.

    Because the sources you used are weak: three websites and one old textbook.

  5. A

    Но я искал! Про томскую железную дорогу двадцатых годов почти ничего нет.

    But I did look! There's almost nothing on the Tomsk railway in the twenties.

  6. B

    В интернете нет, а в архиве железнодорожного музея полно. Вот записка директору, он мой бывший студент.

    Not online, but the railway museum's archive is full of it. Here's a note for the director, he's a former student of mine.

  7. A

    Спасибо! Исправленную главу принесу через месяц, уже с архивными документами.

    Thank you! I'll bring the corrected chapter in a month, with archive documents this time.
