Habibullo-Eugene Kiselev
A Synopsis of my Life

Yekaterinburg, Russia. GMT 05:00
This morning I had two classes at the University. After that I headed for home. Having arrived there, I fell asleep and spent the whole day abed.
At 07:17 p.m., I gave a call to Marina Kamenskaya on her request. We had a very meaningful conversation as usual: she told me she had looked for the information about me on the Internet. In particular, she found an article about the presentation of “A White Raven”, which took place last year. I was pleased, yea; I was totally pleased with this fact. Indeed, a marvelous poetess is looking for the information about my modest “persona”! Is not that great? To me, it definitely is.
Marina has imparted to me a lot of rather interesting things about herself. In particular, she said she treated the Russian Emperor Nicholas I with great respect. She told me that a lot of mud had been thrown at him in the historiography of the Soviet times. Once Marina had a dream, that she was a daughter of Nicholas I, and a certain Vladimir Chetveryakov (Russian: Владимир Четверяков) was an aide-de-camp of the Emperor. It was Marina’s Birthday, and Nicholas I gave her a saber as a present. She put it aside, thereupon some enemies attacked her, and she recalled that she had left her present somewhere… I can perfectly make her out – unusual dreams come to me as well.
Apart from all of that, we have made some corrections to her poems which I am going to translate into English. Also, Marina Kamenskaya said she had prepared a book of her poetry for me. I will be glad to receive this book. Moreover, Marina said I was doing some work on the perpetuation of her poetical name. This inspired me even more. We still do not know where we can meet. Our dialog was not long for now. We finished around 07:52 p.m.
