Each of us remembers our first love well. And he remembers his beloved exactly as she was in those days when they felt like the happiest people on earth. But will we be able to recognize our love many years later, having met in completely different conditions? Our hero didn't find out. And only the lines from the poem that she once read to him reminded him of those days when she was his charming guide to Prague. Subject specialists were invited to this seminar on the problems of Soviet civilization. Among them were those who were once an integral part of the Soviet ideological machine, and prominent Sovietologists, and even representatives of the Vatican.
