I was arrested by a despicable red-headed young communist from those of who they say «a stiff breeze would blow her over». To this day I cannot understand what forced me to obey her.

Probably so! I can only say with certainty I didn't imagine what laid ahead!

Kersnovskaya's friends in Moscow made a samizdat type-written version of the work (of 12 notebooks). It contains of six bound volumes. Eufrosinia Antonovna re-drew drawings with captures on some of empty backs of type-written pages. At that time she was 75 years old.
