Cognac for the Dictatorship of Betelgeuse

Three old friends - a liberal journalist, a left-wing theorist and an extreme ufologist meet after a long break. The left-wing theorist claims to have created a new progressive theory, according to which all intelligent civilizations follow the left path of development. He claims that he can prove this directly through contact with a highly developed civilization, which is supposedly present right in the city where the friends meet. The extreme ufologist undertakes to organize such a meeting. As a result, after several dangerous adventures, a contact of the third kind occurs, during which the liberal journalist manages to take the most amazing interview of his life.
