The 1970s

Euphrosinia wrote her story down as her Mother asked. It took a lot of time because she illustrated the text with drawings and made several copies of notebooks and the album version to save her work even if the manuscript fell into the hands of the KGB.

Euphrosinia doesn't tell that the work of a driller resulted in problems with joints, and since the early 1970s she had to go on crutches. She describes her life in Yessentuki after the Mother's death only in her intimate diary and letters to a friend. Here she depicts herself sitting with crutches on a bench near the grave of her Mother to whom she brought the unbroken promise and the thoughts about truth, lies, and ignorance.
