Andrew and Boris were pals. As the first letters of their first names in your first ABC close coming one after the other. They first met in the students’ hostel. Andrew was living there, and Boris was visiting his date, a young girl from Ingushetia, a girl with a sweet non-Caucasian name Malina. That courtship was a year long and purely romantic. The daughter of Vahnahsky people cared deeply for Boris. To show her heavenly true love she came to the faculty, wearing her national dress the day of his birthday. Boris was thrilled. He told Andrew the kick he got out of it was akin to sexual pleasure when his girl friends were making love with him.
