  • "With a glance from distant past..." Kyiv, 2004.
    "…I was thinking a lot, to which from the above genres I would rather be inclined. Having analyzed my biographical and professional data, as well as my character features which have not changed significantly since my childhood, I decided to write scientific and sentimental essays with a prologue - one of which you have read already – and an epilogue - if I would manage to write it. To tell the truth, not long ago I have come to the idea to talk frankly and cordially to my dear ones with deep appreciation and gratitude. To tell them how happy I am being able to talk to them, to quarrel with them and then - to make it up again, to admire their activities, to perform together our small and great deeds. And mostly – to get a high thrill from a simple human touch to them, a touch to destinies and biographies in real time and space…
    …I have been always interested in creative process, in so called imperceptible peculiarities of the well-known "inside", on the other part but not less - in some adherent rules and formalities irrespective of creation subject and the creator. If the Lord has granted us with some talents, then we should try to use them in full."
