[06:20-07:21] Fleeing KGB Scrutiny: Disappearing into the Underground

"And I was looking for you through the architectural institute, but I had left there. And I had problems with the KGB because I spoke a lot about literature. And eventually, they came to me at the architectural institute and told me to come for a talk, saying that I was refuting that socialist realism exists in architecture. So, denunciations were written about me. Then you were with hippies there, you were picked up, and someone identified you. Well, it was all innocent, but the dean's office was very agitated that I was a well-known person, and then all this, why was it necessary? I eventually switched to evening classes, and then I left altogether. And it was impossible to find me, I simply vanished. I also had a job in St. Petersburg, I traveled between Moscow and St. Petersburg, and for some time Volodya tried to find me. Well, I wasn't living at home, phones weren't working, and my parents, out of fear, simply wouldn't say where I was or what I was doing. I lived in studios. Everything suited me. He couldn't find me. That is, as he said, 'like through water, where were you?' And there was a thought that I had gone abroad to study, apparently."
