Hello Dear Readers[edit] Then I decided to tell them the truth.... Before the story; When I was five years old, my parents took me to Kazakhstan from the Far East We lived there for 18 years, until I served in the army and returned to my homeland, and it was 1985. In Kazakhstan, we lived in a small village of ten houses and there was no school. The school was in a larger aul, thirty kilometers away, and there was a boarding school in which I lived, while studying. And so all my classmates gathered in a group of watsapa and asked me to tell how I left Kazakhstan and I told! So the first story appeared. "Almost a Memoir" . "Published in the author's edition with preservation of author's spelling and punctuation" .
