I was entrusted the affair of translating him into Russian, by Yassen Zasoursky. Likewise, there appeared one person who summarized my experience at cinema.

He entrusted me to his colleague and crony, Cyrill Razlogov, who first of all, invited me to his program at the Culture Channel, "From screen avanguard to videoarts" and offered me tge altar of his cinema festival "White Stacks", nearby my summer house in Domodedovo (where Chekhov lived and where Akhmatova passed away: both, my characters at cinema and plays).
