Prose poems: Freedom to breathe. Lake Segden. The duckling. The ashes of a poet. The Elm log. Reflections. The city on the Neva. The puppy. The old bucket. In Yesenin country. The kolkhoz rucksack. The bonfire and the ants. A storm in the mountains. A journey along the Oka. At the start of the day. We will never die.

Matryona's house.

For the good of the cause.

The Easter procession.

Zakhar-the-Pouch.

The right hand.

An accident at Krechetovka Station.
