TO N. YE. NIKULINA

Dear Vladimir Ilyich,

Only a hopeless situation compels me to trouble you with a most humble request. I am 74 years old, and for 51 of them I have served, to the best of my ability, the Moscow that is dear to me... Knowing how cramped the population lives, I willingly went to meet the need and gave up several rooms in my little house. Only those rooms remained that are essential for me or are cold, passage rooms unsuitable for living. Now I am threatened with the taking away of even these rooms. I implore you, help me... A few words written on your orders will be sufficient guarantee for me.

With true respect, Honoured Artist of the State Maly Theatre,

N. Nikulina
