«Heritage» 2014 Literary Award Ceremony


I’m standing on the stage in the Great Hall of the Central House of Writers… I’m in a red dress… I’m smiling… No one sees her, Empress Alexandra, once called Alice, neither do I. But I know that she is here smiling at me…

I cannot see, but I know that there are my parents, the monks, the inhabitants of the Library of the Universe, Raisa Akhmetovna Mansurova, and HE there…

And I’m reciting my verse… to him… and to everyone… that no award in the world can replace my happiness in love…

As wise as silent mountaineers,
I don’t ask you for a crumb.
I love you as the Sun is loved.
I love you as they love the Sky.

You are a wonder of the worlds,
as splendid as the dome of church.
I love you with the love of kids.
I love you like a mother loves.

Without singing funny songs,
I love you as the Gods can love.
I love you just the way one does
a step away the end of roads…
