water and trofim’s krenitsa, we, alexandrians, we believe in its miraculous power, during the great patriotic war, mothers and wives... and i have not learned indifference when i think about coming to you, and many of my fellow countrymen are present here, what a sin there is, who know everything about you, even sometimes what you don’t know, and that’s the most

the difficult thing, this is the most difficult thing, to come to you, to say something here, to speak, understanding that people sitting even in this amphitheater think about... you are different and the hardest thing is that you perceive this as some kind of reproach on your part, that you didn’t do something, and why? i know that you didn’t feel it, and god forbid you, having received everything you wanted from someone, then fail to justify this trust, the hardest thing for a person, when i was recently... asked by a journalist from russia, what is the most difficult thing , i told him, to justify the trust of people, it seemed, for three decades it’s time to somehow ossify, calm down, but nothing like that, and it’s all from here, from

this earth, to appreciate people, give them happiness, do everything so that they simply don’t think badly of you. it’s very cool, we arrived, it seems to me that time flew by, we didn’t even have time to see everything, our sister had already arrived from minsk to mogilev, we brought her, she said, she says, that’s it, we’ll definitely go next year.
