My childhood

My
life have started thanks to my parents Vladimir and Vera Horoshilov's.
They bestowed my life upon me and the lines below I dedicate to severely limited
description of it.
Посреди
зимы я
наконец-то
понял, что
во мне живет
непобедимое
лето.

My childhood have started early enough, as I remember now. My very first
expressions about those far past times appeared in my mind when I was
only three years old. The first thing that I can remember was the long
room with armchairs, round windows and the landscape somewhere
underneath. Then was the white bright day outside, the frost, semicircle
ceiling, warm tube of hot-water heating beside me. Just now I can
understand that I remember the plane, the north, New Urengoy settlement
and our dwelling house made of heated tank-wagon with partitions inside
it and windows cut through on each side so I could see only wide white
field and a tube that was emitting smoke far away. I can remember my
father's words: "As you see this tube smoking sonny we are having
light". I remember helicopters, dogs that were higher than me,
dining hall where my mother worked as cook. I remember how I was hiding
from everyone because it was outlawed living and working in New Urengoy
with children. And I remember wooden toys that my father have cut with
knife for me.
The
job have brought our young family so far. My father as architect and my
mother as cook earned more money. As for me it was the first big
adventure in my life which I kept in mind by spartanian living
conditions which have begun making the sort of man who I am now of me.
Strangely
enough but after the returning to Donetsk to the two-room apartment to
grandparents Micha and Masha there was nothing interesting to remember
besides my plays with grandfather, going to kindergarten and ballroom
dance cources with a partner Sirchenko Nataly.
However there was a trip to Caucasus that I remember by the same
spartanian living conditions but much more warmer, by destructions made
by tornado that flooded Tuapse and by new swimming skill.
Perhaps it was my last careless years. I gone to school.
