Best regards
Grigory Demidovtsev

      Dear Grigory Demidovtsev,
      I live in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski and when I was in Vladivostok I read your book by chance at friends'. The only one book!
      When I have read it this book struck me as strange in an amicable way, it is like nothing on earth. I had a longing for the other your books, but at my friends' there was the only one. Could you take a convenient opportunity of sending us your books to Petropavlovsk or at least to Vladivostok? For some reason it seems to me that you are a strong person and are similar to the hero of your book. Therefore if you wanted to do it you would certainly do it.
      I have found your website in the Internet. Will you inform me if you can send me your books?
      And do you know what else has astonished me? I suddenly thought that I do live in one of "Nevorussian" cities.
      When I hit upon it I became very pleased. For Nevorussians in fact Petropavlovsk is almost their capital as far as I understood. Though they have a migrant capital, I also like very much the idea of migrant capital itself.
      Now when I see a beacon it seems to me that it is Prince Fominsky's beacon.
      For me your book has as though merged with my city. Your book has infected my city in an amicable way.
      Now when I look at a high house, I think if that one used to serve as a tower to the Grand Duke... In general, I'm going crazy in some kind way and I am not embarrassed of it at all.
      All the best to you! And first of all I wish you good health and many new books!

Sincerely yours Peter Sidorov,
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski

      Dear Peter!       In my opinion, there is nothing nobler on the earth than a bibliophile's madness! If everybody was crazy about books so much and if everybody became infected by books so much like we do and if only the idea of madness came to that then the life would be quite different as it seems to me! Then there would not be such a great number of wars in the world history! Bluntly speaking all people would live much better then!       Well and as to sending my books to Vladivostok, it will be done without fail in the nearest future. I have already asked the PR-director to deal with it.       I'll be glad if you also read the other my books with the same interest as you read the book that had fallen into your hands!

Good luck to you, Grigory Demidovtsev

      Dear Grigory,
      I have read your books. And it seemed to me that it is nothing else than a modern Apocalypse.
      What influences our everyday mind the most strongly nowadays? The language of works of art, of course! Both the language and all the imagery system!
      Your epic is a prophecy on a doomsday and the global accident, which is expressed in the form of belles-lettres. From book to book the march of events, their increase, their ornate course indicate only one thing: the accident is inevitable, it's going to burst out, the world has wallowed in unbelief or in false belief and nothing can prevent from it.
      You give hope of God to your readers. But what can God do for such an unfaithful world? The only thing God can do is to cancel such a world as a failure and to create another one.
      While thinking over your books one becomes sad. You'll begin to feel hopeless. Perhaps, it is because of the weakness of my mind.
      May God save you! Thanks you for the impartial truth!

Maria Sokolova, an engineer

      Dear Maria,
      Thank you for your letter. I begin with your last idea of "May God save you!". You have admitted that He has the right to save. Now some words about the logic of reasoning. You are frightened by the idea of doomsday but you aren't frightened of the idea that every living being will die. And it is natural and usual and doesn't mean at all every living thing will die out in the world. The children keep living. And the whole mankind will leave something after it. Yes, something that it will have left will bear little with what we have like we have a little resemblance to the dinosaurs died out and to many other things that we don't even know and scientists can't even examine. And it's quite another matter that in contrast to dinosaurs we, men, should make an attempt to become better and survive even if the chance is one to a million because it is said that the latter can become the former and the former can become the latter. Usual material logic is unable to function at the spiritual level. The usual arithmetic is ignored there. I have given you examples in my works. A man is tenacious of life and his spiritual potential is enormous. It's often said on the TV news about tragedies and they refined the death roll instead of informing about those who has survived and telling us how they managed to do it. Your discoursing upon God in a worldly way is interesting. Men behave like that. They cancel another world and they don't want to understand it. How many times would it have been necessary to cancel the world if it were so? But nobody did it globally only some civilization did. But they didn't exist long. At their place there appeared new ones, which kept giving hope of a single whole to people. Nowadays we are going global and thus globalization makes us lose divine patience. But, first, we haven't become a united community. Secondly perhaps the Heavenly Forces won't let it come true just because of Their love for our world. The Heavens will send us a kind of saving illness or will make somebody on the earth stronger in order to counterbalance the confrontation. Thus they will provide safety factor for the civilization. As to optimism doesn't it seem strange for you that in fact none of the first nuclear bombs was exploded beyond the testing area? Isn't it a wonder that something prevented our military from using nuclear weapon under our Soviet and American politicians? With relation to materialistic common sense the military had to start the nuclear fight but there was something that broke their plans. And do believe me the conscience has nothing to do with it. There have never been an idea of conscience at the top level of the existing states and there will never be such an idea. But you say good-bye to your belief last. And when you have done it this gives birth to another belief again. The fragile world is too strong and its strength is otherworldly. It has no analogue in our world. Being here we are a part of this strength. And the Other World loves each of us with all its power! Why it's so we'll learn only when we return to that world. But it's not necessary to hurry up there because we have a lot of trivia to do here:

      Dear Grigory Demidovtsev,
      Two young parents Kostya and Larissa are writing to you. We live in Vladivostok and we have just given birth to our first-born. It is huge. Its weight is 4 kilograms. It a real hercules. It's very noisy. If it started to sing its hungry song with a bass it can easily outvoice the radio and TV.
      We long thought what name to call our son. And your book prompted to us. We liked both your Demidov and your Prince Fominsky very much. But Prince Fominsky who had become "clever", impressed us in some special way. And we decided to call our first-born Feodor after your Prince.
      More than that we liked that our kid would have not only the name similar to the name of Prince Fominsky, but he would also have the same patronymic. And it seemed to us to be a destiny's sign. Our baby would bear the name of Feodor Konstantinovich! And, God grant, his fate won't be the ordinary one! We hope it will come true!
      So we bow down to the ground to you for your book! It has provided, as it were, our son with the fate! It determined his "fate", as it were!
      We hold you in high respect and we are eager to read other your works!
      We are very grateful to you!

Kostya and Larissa,
Vladivostok

      Dear Larissa and Kostya,
      I'm whole-heartedly glad for your sake! I wish your first-born all the best! I wish him a healthy long happy life! Let the name which you called him always bring him luck everywhere!
      I hope, when your Feodor Konstantinovich starts to write literary works himself, I shall be glad to help him in word and deed! I shall be glad to support it as the senior comrade, the senior colleague on shop!
      All the best to him I say once again! And certainly I wish you to be happy as parents!

      Dear Mister Author!
      I am a hereditary wonder-worker. Five generations of my ancestors were engaged in it. I've got used to deal with energy of this world.
      But when I had read your books, they disturbed the equilibrium of me. I felt their power, their huge information capacity. And information capacity and power capacity are often synonyms. I don't know if you are informed about it.
      Mister Author, your books are some kind of substances, some kind of extensions which are real and they are not just written. They are of certain volume; they took root at the information-power continuum for ever as certain continents. They are superseding our world reality, they are substituting it for their reality.
      I am worrying about the idea which as I feel it has already started to be embodied. The idea is that your books make creeping seepage possible. It is possible that what exists now can get impregnated with what you have created. And, finally, it is possible to substitute the present world for the world you have powerfully introduced in our universe. Don't you feel what colossal responsibility you have taken up? Aren't you afraid of such responsibility? And besides it have you had powerful magicians in your family? In fact your power hasn't evolved from nothing!

Victor Schur

      Dear Victor,
      Thank you for the letter... I understand you, and while writing my books I more than once thought about it and even stopped and waited a little, but then I had to continue. Some words about the mysticism connected with the beginning of my creative work, I have already written, but probably, I can't say more, though in my works everything is ciphered as I have understood. Probably it is necessary for someone. You talk about the responsibility, and you are right, you are right by hundred percent at this point. Some characters described in my works cause ambiguous feelings. Was it necessary to describe them? Isn't it arrogance? Probably, you have understood that it is a question of "the black genius". I hesitated long and tried to struggle against this character, because I understood that I was creating it just like other character - a comet. Nothing has come of it. These characters anyway blended with the plot, and it's impossible to tear them out, otherwise all integrity of the events will fail.
      Now some words about substitution of realities. We are constantly facing substitution, and it's rather strange to discourse if it is bad or good. What you name changing is only changing of a background, but globally nothing changes. At the level of the Fragile World in two my realities (actually there are three realities if you attentively read my works, but these are trivial details now) there have been no changes. Arthur's way, as a matter of fact, has not changed, the whole history have not practically been changing like history of mankind. Only scenery and life background vary. Our global problems like Great America and currency fluctuations are nothing for the Fragile World. It is much more important how each person reacts when somebody nudges him tritely in the underground and if he keeps loving at the same time. In the Fragile World there is other logic and other scale of values and not any trifles which we consider to carry weight in the Universe. And my books are about these things. I aim to struggle against the domination of materialism which has led us to the brink of quite a real precipice. My aim is not some kind of overturn and certain "black geniuses" or comets which are only consequences and it can seem paradoxical they do bring something curing that is similarly to illnesses for an individual. And some words about magicians. I haven't heard about any ancestors in my family who dealt with such a profession. And frankly speaking God be praised! Whoever I didn't wish to be, it were a magician and particularly a doctor. Though I understand that everything is heaven-born and they are necessary, though any ill person should be told only one thing, "Start looking into thoughts and a life, and you need nobody". It's quite another matter that sometimes a person feels so bad, that such words can only kill it, that's why he needs doctors and magicians who will tell the similar things, but in other words. Though there is a chance that they will lead the problem into the labyrinth so far, that even for soul it will be difficult to get out of it. I have written something about it in my works. In particular, there is a certain employee of special services Ostraya, the most tragical character in the book "Russia which we have not recognized", or a character of the ancient magician in the "Breath of Eternity", as well as the name of my books including the word "breath". We can exist only when there is Breath of Eternity around us. And God grant us, not to learn, what the Breeze is and more than that what Hurricane is... It was a lyrical digression about a problem of responsibility. In case my books help someone to avoid extremes of materialism, I will regard it I haven't wasted my time on writing books.
      I have always been surprised at a pseudo-moral rule that you can't tell fatally ill about his desperate situation let alone material stuff. A man should worry to make his will, as to the spiritual component the doctors deprive a man of the opportunity to rescue them themselves. This lack of respect for a man slightly surprises. Everyone is responsible for himself, and nobody has power to take a role of God upon himself. To live or not to live is the sole right of God and only He can decide it. That is what I'm writing about in my works. Yes, being materialistic we have approached to the death of the civilization. It's not fair to conceal it only because someone feels pain and feels sad, it's like you lull a fatally ill with cancer with fairy tales, though he might live longer if he knew, what mess he had got into because of his ideas, offences and desires. I understand that the doctors who are materialists cannot realize that any sincere pray can heal, but if it had not been so the mankind would not have survived during those several thousand years, having passed through inconceivably cruel epidemics, wars and other trials. Therefore let everyone do his own business for we have no right to define who is right or who is wrong. And God grant us not to ever learn it, though everything depends on God's Will!

      Dear Grigory,
      One of Moscow inhabitants is writing to you. I have got acquainted with your books by chance. Sometimes it happens to me that I get on a train when things look bad and in the morning I'm in Petersburg. I just stroll about the streets of your city at large, I just stroll and that's all. I like the Nevsky prospect. I'm fond of the Neva, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Summer Garden, the Field of Mars and especially your temple called the Savior on the Spilt Blood and the Nevsky Prospect again. Sometimes I come into some shops and cafe. In the evening I board a train again and go home to Moscow again. I take your city as a cultural capital where I find peace of mind! Every time I come back to Moscow full of energy and I forget about my problems. What wonder occurs to me. It's a mystic thing, isn't it? The problems dissolve like sugar dissolves in tea. to After that I run round in small circles, being split in two between home and work. I have to work from eight in the morning till eight in the evening, as a rule, and I'm often at the wheel. Well, enough of that, my work is irrelevant! So I decided to buy something of St Petersburg for reading during the trip, and at that moment your books turned up. It seems they were two books both with titled "Breath". I confess that I have never gone like that, I could not tear myself away! Thank you, Grigory. I did not even suspect that such writers still exist nowadays.
      But I'm writing to you rather to ask you a question than to sing the praises in your honour.
      As I understand you condemn Moscow globally, more precisely you condemn Moscow way of developing as you called it though why did you do it? The capital of the Russian Empire always was Petersburg! Well, enough of that. I understood that you had noticed many things correctly. And in the literature there must be some evil the hero must fight against. And you succeeded in doing it perfectly! But I wondered what your personal attitude to such a city like Moscow was. You are a person out of the common and your opinion on my city would be interesting to me.
      In conclusion I would like to thank you for other your books. I have already read all of them. What you have written about the Russia which we have not recognized is somewhat great! When I was in your city last I especially tried to gain some insight of the other Petersburg or of the Neva cities as you have called them. Where is that Sphere? Is it somewhere where there are your new buildings? The statue to Fominsky as I understood it must be there where your Lenexpo pavilion is. How much we, people, still can do! God grant to see your city in all its glory and more than that, though your Nevsky Prospect faced with granite slabs is quite good too when it is underfoot! Please write, dream and be afraid of nothing! Those who has a god-given talent to understand will not see a tragedy in your books, but a great love to our country and an attempt to make our life better.

Julia Salnikova,
Moscow.

      Dear Julia,
      Thanks you for the letter!
      I fairly confess that your message is rather like a very short story, and much in it is familiar to me to some extent. When I am in Moscow, I also like to stroll about the streets in the center of your city. It has seemed to me lately that our cities are becoming similar to each other. Petersburg is accelerating, and Moscow is becoming more composed. Is it good or bad? But life is life and you must accept it in peace. Being megapolises any cities are similar to some extent! What is my attitude to Moscow? You got me absolutely right that I do not identify the Moscow way of developing directly with the concrete city. Certainly, St.-Petersburg is inseparably linked with that way because of being a former capital of the Empire. The Moscow way is a consequence of tragical events, doings of the concrete princes, tsars, emperors and their actions which are forced in many respects and connected with the effort to survive. The paradox of history is in it. If you honestly look into the history you understand that nobody is to blame but everything has paint of blood all over. That's why the protagonist in my books starts on his journey to the past in order to grasp this elementary truth. As to other Petersburg depicted in my books I tried not to identify my architectural supplements with any real place for I do not think that it is necessary to spoil something in our reality. By the way, my Arthur loves his city and tries to keep unchanged the approximate places of all key buildings on the maps. So the Nevsky Sphere is likely to be situated outside the Old Petersburg and the monument to Fominsky. It is rather to be on an alluvial island than on the Vasilievsky Island. In our reality it is worth to have something similar so that you can see it aboard every arriving ship. Our coast requires serious work on accomplishment. Perhaps I will say something unfashionable now. Without constructing facilities and wasted maintenance costs of monuments, beautiful buildings and quays we can neither feed nor improve housing conditions and other conditions of life. Why? Because the Spirit defines the Substance! Such is our world. And the more we will think of current problems, the poorer we will be. That's why I have shown the Russia which we have not recognized. The powerful state Nevorussia shown there first of all was an extremely spiritual state. By the way, why did even the Moscow way give such a rise to Russia when Peter the Great for the sake of his own life started to build Petersburg? Peter is most likely to have acted unconsciously, he thought rather materially-mindedly, but it has not turned out very bad. The paradox of our Universe is in it. The more you give, the more you get. Because of that ancient tribes survived, they gave the best pieces of meat to Gods, though they starved! So Moscow surpassed, when it started to build temples of white stone. So Russia rose, when it started to build a new capital on the bog and it turned into an empire. These sacrifices were necessary, for such is our world! Alas, now it seems that people try to neglect it, and in this case the Breath of the Future is possible and any Arthur with all his love won't manage to do away with this Breath. The only thing that you have to do is to fly back to the past for if people do not give anything, they can't be saved! As to governors whom everyone relies on, they are just people and they survive like mere mortals only in those conditions what they are living under. But meanwhile let's admire what we have inherited from our ancestors and what has not absolutely gone to ruin yet both in Petersburg and in Moscow!

Grigory Demidovtsev

       ask the author

      Dear Grigory Demidovtsev,
      I've read your books and I'm eager to express my thanks to you. You're a good novel writer. At least you're novel for me.
      Your heroes are interesting for me. Besides it they're uncommon. Mysticism must be a prevailing trend in your works. I'm very glad that there have appeared an original mystic writer in Russia because I personally have faced mystic cases more than once in my life and understood long time ago that there is much more inexplicable in our materialistic life than explainable and explained.
      For example, soon after my Mum's death I dreamt of her in the image of half-man and half-demon. And I understood that some sins were burdensome to her. I started to pray for her soul. And some time later she came into my dream again. And now I dreamt of her as a woman died who was just lying in the coffin. After that certainly I didn't stop to pray for her. When some more time passed I saw her alive and smiling in my dream. And I understood that my prayers had produced an effect and really had helped my Mum...
      But it isn't the main point in my letter. Do you know what I have paid attention to and what I'd like to focus your attention on? It seemed to me, that in your books not much space is given to Nature, its descriptions, its contacts with your heroes. But in fact Nature can emphasize, deepen and make brighter any ideas of the author and any feelings of heroes. The landscape can be an evident picture of someone's soul, an allegorical embodiment of someone's mood.
      Perhaps, I am wrong. But I'm really longing there will be more Nature in your books, than it is now.

Yours faithfully, Irina Kozhemyakina
(New Oskol).

      Dear Irina,
      Thank you for the letter! I am glad that you have positively estimated my literary work. The majority of readers' comments (a great deal of them comes every day) are quite favourable reviews too, that of course please me as a writer. When you let out a written work to the public, you look forward if someone will notice it and whether it will be necessary for somebody. Such letters as yours are that precious feedback without which it is impossible to live. It is impossible for a man to feel himself necessary for the others and to be in great demand.
      I agree with you about mystical motives in our life. They can very often be heard. As a rule, we just do not hear them. Or, if we hear, we don't to take them for granted and don't realize them, we try to adjust any mysticism to the criteria of our ordinary routine common sense. I think that the main task of a mystic writer is to show this obligatory integral multiplier of life to people as evidently as possible.
      Well, and in conclusion I'd like to say some words about Nature. Probably, your remark is quite reasonable. The Nature presence in my works, probably, should become more perceptible though there is always a danger to sacrifice the action while chasing the description, so it is essential to find the golden mean.
      All the best!

Yours faithfully, Grigory Demidovtsev

      Dear comrade writer,
      We're studying in the eighth (now the ninth) form. Our grammar school is well-known throughout Vladivostok. We have an excellent chorus. There are a lot of bards, who write excellent songs, and a theatrical studio. The teachers tell us about those who discovered and founded our city. We are proud of them.
      We are three friends - Pete, Sashka and Arkashka. We have a boat, and we boat in the bay called the Gold Horn. At times we go to sea so far that there remains absolutely nothing that remind of coast nothing, everything disappears at a hazy distance. But we do not show the white feather; in the boat we have a compass which does not let us lose the way. both
      Having read your books, we have thought about the following. It would be a good thing to immortalize your characters somehow!
      We like the idea very much. And it didn't take us long to think out how to carry it out. We all are going to become seamen and we have recently made a coast description of our bay to improve our skills in cartography.
      At once we called to mind that there are rugose section where some little capes in the water jut out.
      We have drawn a separate contour of this place and have inscribed the names: Fominsky's cape, Rooen's cape, Melany's cape, Demidov's cape. Here we have become discoverers! We think such information will please you.

Sashka, Pete, Arkashka
(Vladivostok)

      Dear guys,
      While reading your letter I felt as if a fresh wind is blowing softly in my study! I felt salty taste of sea splashes on my lips! "I know that there lives a boy somewhere, and I envy him very much!" - that is the verse I have remembered.
      What is happening to you is called growing into a man. Yours growing into a man is a romantic process and, I won't be afraid of this word, a beautiful one. Many boys, as many adult men, really could envy you. You are strong, fearless, and you are genuine. And to my mind Jack London was just like you when he was at your age.
      You can send me the contour drawn by you if you want! I will be glad to publish it on my website and in the magazine "Nevoruss" which I issue.
      I would like to wish you, guys, "steady!"

      Dear Grigory Demidovtsev!
      I bought all of Your books, but I'd read only first two ones. I am going to read the rest of them too as I'm keen on reading and it seems to me, now nobody writes like you do.
      At times I by myself cannot link even two words, so people like you who can so wonderfully connect words and make of them wonderful words' lace, seem to me to be not Earth's creatures but kind of celestial beings who - by mistake or by Lord's design - had got to our Earth.
      When reading your books I just enjoy how word is grabbing a word as if they are living creatures who can feel sympathy or antipathy towards each other and they can love or hate each other. It seems to me that if one would decide to replace words by lines, if one would learn how to do this, so Your books would be presented in the shape of wonderful decor, and not as a simple decor, but complicated graphic compositions. When reading your books I thought may be abstract painting is exact attempt to render word's links in a graphic way.

Alena Karpova,

      Dear Alena!
      Thank you for your warm words and for understanding of my texts. It is pleasant to see among my readers those who had got the idea of my books. Some time it seems to me that my books live by their own lives and what is the most surprising is that it looks like books continue to write themselves!
      Again, thank you for your letter!

Grigory Demidovtsev

       ask the author

      In the first words I'd like to say I just loved the writer Grigory Demidovtsev. I know nothing about his personality and I am not sure whether I would love him as a person, but I like him as a writer very much. He writes in unusual way and this attracts because we'd become tired of usual books; they tell us only about cruel, bloody and irreparable things. The characters of his books are not ordinary people as well. They act not only crashing everything on their way. Also they muse, they doubt, they can be weak, sometime it cannot turns up at once, sometime they make mistakes. So, they are like we are: ordinary and sinful people. And when you read, accidentally you try on thoughts and actions of the characters and discover that in all the cases you would do the same, you would doubt and make mistakes. And, as they did, you too finally would find the way out from all the dead ends in your life, and having suffered, you would achieved what you wanted to get. Demidovtsev 's books help to believe to yourself, as we have lack of belief in our uncertain time. I would advice him to write more and don't waste his talent for small stories but to write such a big and large scale things like those he has at his art baggage.

Tatjana Maksimova,
Saint-Petersburg

      Dear Tatjana!
      Thank you for the letter! Frankly speaking, your letter made me to think about my works and especially to recollect time when in my youth I had been trying to create something great:I must admit, nothing good had turned out because of my attempts. Then one of my classmates advised me to start from something small. That time I was a maximalist - as many of us - and probably in the hundred times had been trying to comprehend immense. When fortune has made me to take up a pen being adult ( I had already become a businessman), I recollected that far advise of my friend and started to write down separate chapters. Wonder happened then which cannot be explained by logic.
      Seeming to be different, stories have started to combine into one thing. I must confess, I by myself couldn't understand for a long time why the novel "Blowing of Future" started from the story " Natural fortuity". I simply knew by my intuition that things mentioned in the story would be useful for my further narration, that it was not possible to remove it, although my advisors on literature suggested me to manage without the initial story. In the third and forth books I understood that the plot would be repeated with some changes. And, having reached the last book "Blowing of Future" it turned out that the last chapter had joined the first one. And the whole book got finished appearance. It's like life. It often happens in our lives that key moments determine all our life.
      As I can say, "the key moments of life" are very important for understanding of yourself! So, I wouldn't agree with you, Tatjana: short stories for me are the beginning of grasping of some bigger things. Besides it is very interesting for me to see how from various stories something great is appearing, how characters are changing whilst they are acquiring new information, how their attitude to life is changing. So, I am wishing you to see in your life your own natural fortuities which would help you to see and appreciate global and beautiful things!

Grigory Demidovtsev

       ask the author

      What is an author Grigory Demidovtsev like? For some reason I heard nothing about him before. And now I've read his book, then another one, then the third one, and I wanted to know more about him then. How old is he? How does he look like? What does he write about? Does he write only fiction or something else?
      Of course, he writes interesting books though in places are not understandable. He brings into a text many abstruse big talks and this, to my mind, makes reading more difficult. If he would gave less arguments in his texts but more actions, it would be much more entertaining. Action - is a backbone of an interesting book. The less is action, the less a book is interesting.
      It's a pity they don't publish author's telephone numbers right in the books! At times one wants to call and say what do you think about a book and compare your impression with ideas which an author had had whilst writing.
      Well, in that case I would like to talk to Demidovtsev on the phone very much. I would like to talk to him about his life, his family, whether he has wife and to advance my opinion to him. Is it possible in some way to find out his telephone through the publishing house? At least the number of his mobile phone! Write me back with an answer, please!
      See you soon.

      I must confess I don't like to talk on the phone very much. It is always sudden and not in time. I rely more on email, so I have time to write a lot and in time. You can read my books' review in the magazine "Neva" № 10, 2005. They wrote fairly enough there. Also, there is a link on my site. I would recommend you my book "The Bow" - it resembles more mystical detective story and chronologically had been written before "Blowing of Future". Now magazines "Business Today" and "NevoRuss" publish series of stories about both the present time and history. You can get free copy in Business Centers and in Vladimirsky Passage. In short, I am a director of a company, I am married, I have a son, so I've got minimum things which are desired by a person, but maximum is still far away and must stay as a dream yet, otherwise life would become sad!
      Thank you for your interest and the letter!

      Dear Author!
      Each of your books is a big Mystery and a big Secret. When one reads them, it makes one's flesh creep or fear strikes you. I have a reverential attitude towards You as a writer. Indeed, You give birth to words, and in each word the whole world might be hidden. The Bible says "it was a Word in the beginning, and the Word was God". I am tortured by words' mystery. Mystery of Your words in particular. They hide something. Most likely they hide more then they show in reality. It seems to me, concealed meaning of words, all the diversity of words' meaning are clearly seen and felt in Your books. I wonder, do You by yourself feel what is hidden under outer shell of Your books? Or you create involuntary, by instinct, like a nightingale sings its songs?
      What is creation like in general? Wouldn't you give an answer in one of your articles in the magazines, which I keep up with attentively? You are prolific writer, You are an interesting writer, and probably there is no getting rid of admires.
      It seems to me, creation is one and only possible way of direct contact with God during one's life. All the best to You! I am wishing you every success!

With respect

      Most likely You are right, Nikolai.
      As a rule, creation comes down somewhere from above. At times something makes you to take a pen, or - saying it more correctly - a keyboard of a computer! I write in several stages. First stage is unconscious, when plot and basic dialogs of characters are being born. Then I work with the text in details using mind with its logic and common sense. Then there is a working up of imposed text. Usually it happens on vacation, when going by a train or by airplane. From time to time I re-read some of the chapters.
      One thing surprises me most of all - the fact that I by myself cannot remember my own works. Once, one of my admires - as I know, he makes crosswords, - asked me a question, what is a patronymic name of Angelina! Honestly, I don't know whether I ever wrote it. For me it seems a kind of secondary information. Nevertheless it turned out that one time patronymic name had been mentioned indeed. The fact have made to think about a school program. I thought whether classical writers would pass an exam on their own works successfully? No, I am afraid! For example, often they check the knowledge of facts of the book instead of checking of understanding the idea. But it is just lyrical digression. Thank you for your questions and for seeing the complexity of the text. As I have noticed, not many people pay due attention to this. I by myself usually notice this later, first I simply feel that it is not possible to change some of descriptions and phrases, though they contradict logic. Then I become convinced that my primary intuition was correct.

      Hello!
      Tell me please, whether in real life does such a person like Arthur exist? I like him very much as a person. How did You manage to create such a harmonious personality? He is so nice. You describe him so vividly on the pages of your novel. One cannot refrain from liking for him. After finishing reading the novel I think only about him. When something happens in life - so, I think: how would Arthur act in such a case? Or what would he do. Said. In what way would he solve this or that question.
       And his girlfriend is a real stinker. I hate her. How can she hurt life of such a man as Arthur is. And how does he stand her? Also, it seems to me that he is a curly brunette. It is so rare in life to meet people who are able to solve practically any question. Probably it is unreal to meet in life such a person. And one would like to meet a reliable person. Arthur is very good in the role. But, probably, it is unreal...
       Jana Kimovna doesn't know what a priceless gift she had got from destiny. She doesn't value Him at all. Generally speaking she is a total fool. Plus she is wilful and eccentric. Unbalanced stinker.
       Arthur - is a knight in silver armor. Hope to read more about him in the next novels. Without him life would turn grey. It seems to me, real man must look like Arthur.
      Thank You for Arthur. Thank You for the novel.

With respect
Nastja,

      Dear Nastja!
      Thank you for your letter!
      Practically all of my characters have their own prototypes, especially when speaking about appearance. Another thing is that the inner world - as a rule - is collective image. Some of the characters more look like original, others resembles less. Outwardly Arthur resembling one of my acquaintance, though many his habits I had borrowed from myself. Jana, Elvira and Sophia have prototypes in real life, and, on the contrary, Julia is totally created personage. And if to speak about the stinkers, so she is! Speaking about Jana, I understood it was complicated image, also one must take into consideration the situation she had got to. Thus, by the way, an image of a girl in a straw hat - is this a positive or negative image? And would she behave worse being at Jana's place?
      As to the men, they are changed by influence of surrounding women. And it was Angelina, who had changed Arthur to a person we can see now. Another thing is what a mistake she'd made which have led to what happened. And the thing is not in an overturn which have become a mere catalyst and have quickened inevitable process of collapse.
      In the case Jane acted as a beast, but beast attacks only when it can win, for what for it would use up its strength. It is not showed in the novel how Angelina and Arthur had joined together. And now the book shows us only sunset of family life and suggests us how to keep one's family safe. Alas, often one is clever enough to get a man, and many even manage to do something with him, but later they have lack of wisdom to keep the achievement. I am wishing You, Nastja, to find your own hero, but remember that from the beginning Arthur was totally different person. In the novel he is shown when he is a mature person and he matches well the concrete woman Angelina who had had so many troubles! As Melania had troubles with Fedor in "Blowing of Past".

      Dear Grigory!
      Sorry, I don't know Your patronymic name. I study in the eighth grade and have read Your books "Blowing of Past" and "Blowing of Future".
      I liked the books. I think writing books is the most hard thing to do and I don't know how writers manage to do it.
      I would like to learn more about Martian Boy who is as powerful as God is, but not as a boy. Indeed on Mars people are being born having all the power already? Or it is the result of bringing up? Or may be not the bringing up but achievements of science - the development of genetics, for example. May be they had discovered gene of omnipotence on Mars and then transplant it to each newborn child or to a two-three year old baby. I would like to believe in it.
      Your books urged me on an idea to become a scientist and try to search for such kind of genes in our Earth children. Or may be search such a genes in Earth biosphere, and, having founded them, to transplant then. But would it be good to transplant genes to each and everybody? What do you think about it?

Your reader Andrey Antonov,
Saint-Petersburg.

      Dear Andrey!
      I can recommend you to read the following books: "Rus, we hadn't known" and "Blowing of Eternity" in which you will meet Martian Child again. As well there will be opened the secret not only of Mars but of the most ancient people of The Earth as well.
      As far as possibilities are concerned - no genes' transplantation nor another material operation would help a person to obtain such gifts. The Nature, The God, the Guardian Angel or other supporters of a Light world wouldn't allow it to happen. Why? Because an ordinary person who doesn't control his own wishes, having such a possibilities will simply kill himself! I have a short story "One, fulfilling the wishes". Most likely I will place it on my web-site because the book which includes the story is planned to be published only at the end of the next year. The story will help to understand the idea which is shown in "Coffee Lake" ( "Blowing of the Future)" and in "New", "Pyramid's Secret", "God wishing for Love" (" Rus we hadn't knew "), " Travelling to the dead end", " The secret of the North" ( "Blowing of the future" ). So I wish you nice reading! And with great pleasure I will exchange opinions with you!
