Last years of my live I lived and worked on a monastery together with her. On motives of this narration I have created a drama solo performance « the Ascention to the Noj's Ark » which has been staged in the Municipal Drama theatre The city of Istra near Moscow in 2007. My symphony №1 also have a program, and I used its fragments of music for registration of this performance. Dear readers!
