Existence of Saint Lydia

2015-12-05
The set of Oleg Larmin’s verses was published at the first time in our journal on 31.03.15. Now we are presenting two other Oleg’s unpublished poems. The first one entitled “Existence of Saint Lydia” is dedicated to Oleg’s son. In this highly emotional work Oleg expresses his gratitude towards his grandmother Lydia who raised him.
The second poem entitled “The ballade on Che Guevara” demonstrates Oleg’s admiration toward the idealistic Cuban revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928-1967) who became an icon to all sorts of leftists and radicals in 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s.
Both poems were forwarded to us by Oleg’s widow Alla Savchenko who lives in the nursing home in Winnipeg (Canada). Alla is a former prima-ballerina of the famous Bolshoy Theatre in Moscow and a talented poet. Several her verses in English have been published in our journal.

This joke became infectious: a number of physicist's friends who were partially intoxicated too, try to repeat the trick and verify its result, and all of them ended up at the same emergency department. Eventually, the surgeon himself found a bulb in his mouth, and there was nobody around to take it off.
