Four weeks later, the phone rang. Lyudmila She cried. “I want you and your husband to know before the media comes to light,” she said, “that Volodya has been appointed head of intelligence.” Eileen describes the scene in her book. This news of great significance and seriousness actually broke directly on the phone. I repeated the message slowly and blankly. So the husband in the photo said this was a Russian friend. "We are not allowed to have contact." "Can you wait for me for two years?" Mila said. What follows is a vow not to forget each other. Two years almost turned into two and a half. Lyudmila has now read the book. The publisher told the author that she was said to have received very positive news. She really enjoyed this book. And she will soon be in touch with her German friends. "She will be here soon," repeated the woman from Hamburg . It’s also sad. Her arrival in the near future. Erin preferred it immediately, preferably right away. She imagined the first reunion after the breakup, not in Hamburg, not in Moscow, not in a neutral place, maybe in Vienna . Then she remembered the toast she had learned from Lyudmila: "May our possibilities match our desires, so that we may have happy things on our way to happiness."
