Cyril Razlogov was the head of culturological institute but mainly, a noticeable cryticist and a connoisseur of arthouse genre. I praised his daughters, as young cryticists, but he stuck to his own names. I was delighted about the Soviet experimental cinema of the 1930s, and released my own poetic plots of Protazanov, of Dziga Vertov. One Turkish cryticist was acutely interested of my plots; but I was absorbed with my themes as they were. 

My director-in-chief, Mr Ryabikov, lead me to Mr Razlogov. First of all, he offered to make a program "From cinema vanguard to videoart", entirely of my films. I had felt embarrased back then, so after my 2nd call, he invited me to the film festival "Tge White Stacks" nearby Moscow. I underestimated his worthiest invitation, as my summery house was nearby that festival. Next time, in 2018, he informed me of that he left for Berlinnale. I shared my piece of news with him: my animated poetic short of New York of the 19th century opened the Cologne festival of female films that year. Soon after, my name disappeared at the reports (I guess due to the interference of my former compats: I had no other foes at the world of cinema, and my elated genres may have aroused envy only in former Russians, back in that spell). However, I eastmated my mission highly: my screen protagonists Nabokov, Gippius, Poplavsky also experienced envy of former Russians, when already in Switzerland, Germany and France. The philisophical ship was formed up not of future emigrants, but if those who loved the Russian village, the most!!

Cyril Emilievich Razlogov was the first in my motherland to tell me of the height of Berlinnale. He was pleased to know that I had become a laureate of rdff, a golden festival at Manhattan, that had come to my workplace (I was professor of drama in GITIS) to handle me the award. Such appraisal was highly worthy for me, with total tedious oblivion of my genres, for the background.

I lost everything twice, by a formula of Dickinson. With the death of Ryabikov and then, with the death of Razlogov. I reconstructed my screen Universe, by drops, without them. They were friends by genres and both, my masters and teachers. They foretold my scale, my themes, my steps in genres. Ryabikov created as producer, "Breakfast Viewing the Elbruss", "At the Dawn of Misty Youth", "Its Majesty the Ballet"...
