Mom helped Dad-accordionist carry extras and matinees at school, evenings and holidays in the factories ... Therefore, we can say that I was born into a musical family. Rather, I was born in a musical time. For me, life before the war - this is music! His own name, I got two hours before the birth. Frightened Dad took my mother to the hospital. And myself on "nervous system" ran in the cinema. Then on the screen with great success was the American adventure film "Shark in New York" ... a handsome hero of the film, Alan performs miracles - descends on a rope from a plane on the roof of a rushing train, which got him kidnapped beloved. Lovely Lucy. After the session, stunned dad rushed to the hospital and promptly handed her mother a note:

"Lel, baby mine! If I wake up in the Eagle, is called Alan. And if devychka, hi wake Lucy! "

But in the hospital my father was told that such a name - Lucy - in Russia. This is the name of Ludmila old Slavic name. Means "nice people" ... And my father read to a list of the most fashionable at the time names: Kim, Noyabrina, Spark, Vladlen, Stalin, Markle, Oktiabrina, Myuda ...
- Yak UTB Myuda? ..
- International Youth Day ...

From the hospital they brought me in a cab. Taxis in Kharkiv in 1935 were still a rarity.
