'Yes, that's what they call her. Poor girl. She remembers her mother a
little, and a man called Komarov, but it must have been Komarovsky.
Anyway, Tanya knew that this man wasn't her father. He didn't want
children around and so her mother asked a young couple to look after
Tanya for a while. She meant to come back for her, but the child never
saw her mother again. Eventually she ran away from the couple and became
one of the homeless children who wandered through the country after the
Civil War. She's had a very rough life and no education.'
'Yes, that's true.' After a few minutes of silence Misha added: 'But
this kind of thing has happened several times in the course of history. A
thing that is born from a great love or from great ideas becomes rough
and common. Rome came out of Greece and the Russian Revolution came out
of the Russian enlightenment.'
