WRITER'S CORNER
Encounter on
Tverskoi Boulevard
by Victoria Koch
It had started to rain. Since midmorning I had been wandering
around Moscow’s inner circle, following the pathways trod by such
famous Russian authors as Gogol, Gorky, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.
The heavy overcast skies seemed tp echo the mood of their novels.
I felt cold and wet and needed a place to dry out.
I came upon a small entrance tucked in between two large grey
concrete buildings on Tverskoi Boulevard. I could understand the
word museum and so I opened the door and went inside. Since my
command of Russian was scant, I gestured my way through ticket
buying. I put on the provided slippers over my shoes. Strolling
across the wooden floor, I entered the first exhibit room and
discovered I was in a museum displaying artifacts, antiques and
pictures from classical Russian theater.
As I entered each room an elderly Russian woman would flick
on the light and observe my solitary viewing of the displayed
treasures. In one room, even though I explained to the woman that
I understood very little Russian, she tried to enlighten me about
the pictures and the costumes. I smiled and absorbed as much as I
could.
I returned to the cloakroom archway where I had given up my
bag and umbrella. The woman in the cloakroom smiled and asked
me if I was Bulgarian. “Net, ya Amerikanka.” Her smile broad
ened into curiosity. “Amerikanka!” She rattled off her few English
words and I started drawing upon my few Russian words along
with my fluent German. I pulled out my snapshots of my family
and home.
She bubbled over with warmth now and motioned me to come
around inside. Having barely opened the small door to the cloak
room, she sat me down in front of a steaming glass of tea and
mini chocolate bars. We excitedly shared what we could: I my
American pictures, she a favorite art book and snatches from her
youth as an architect. Soon the ticket lady was peeking through
the archway asking to see my pictures; then the director of the
museum stood beside us nodding her head in approval of our
animated interactions.
I gave the cloakroom woman peace balloons and small toys for
her grandchildren. She gave me a friendship hug, postcards of the
famous Russian actress enshrined in the museum, an iris pictured
wallet calendar and her message of hope for peace and friendship
between Americans and Russians. She hugged me again as I re
entered the museum. It was still raining outside, but Tverskoi was
no longer the Boulevard of fictional characters.
[Victoria Koch participated in the third Wtmen’s Journey for Peace to the
USSR in June. 1987.]
