Leonid A. Kabarukhin: «Give Birth 5 aprils 1951 in sity Taganrog. Child liked stroll on solar streets, which else kept dust Chekhov’s temporary. Liked I all: and sea, that lies from three sides; and graveyard, with its burning secrets; and steppe, which, seemed, there is no end.

A Life was presented by the utter joy, I drew all and always, prefering pencil — sweetmeats. Our house stood in two steps from the seeshore. High, clayey coast, bounless elbowroom always silvery moore, birds, lizards, grasshoppers, singing on the scythian adverb — was a paradise. But was on the other hand locate old, all occupy by the lilac and jasmine, graveyard. School was for the graveyard and I liked to go through it.
