I was still in my dear mother's womb when they registered me as a sergeant in the Se-menovskii Regiment....If against all expectations my mother had delivered a baby girl, my father would have simply informed the appropriate authorities that the sergeant could not report for duty because he had died, and that would have been the end of that (2a).Спасти вас не в моей власти, вы сами видите.
