The end of 20 centuries were one of the most difficult for a public life. The USSR has collapsed! Having thought with Sergey Е., we decided to buy a booth in the property. Financial affairs have gone uphill. I studied in postgraduate study, kept up the goods in a booth, came back to home in 3-4 one o'clock in the morning. Sometimes I come home with spirit of beer. Wife began to intone me: " Throw a booth, you late come back. It is not known, than you with saleswomans-girls are engaged ". Only the son was a joy. We play with him as wanted. The same year I receive the Soros grant. On a photo Igor stands on a balcony of demountable flat. 1996.
