"I'm a polar bear, a former "flower of the circus" in Moscow, who retired from the military after an injury and wrote a memoir. I submitted my work to magazines, and I set myself on a journey into exile. The paper in West Berlin was as white as the ice fields of my hometown. I wrote the names of my unborn daughter and grandson, and the story automatically moved into the future.... "Stories that no one wants to listen to are like open holes into which I am sucked and disappear." --The insider is transformed into an outsider "bear", feeling Berlin with and without walls through thick fur; the dramatic change of the times is like a heavy snowfall, so light and yet so heavy."
