Seventy years - term of a human life. How many they were - the natives of the Atlantis who has sunk into oblivion together
with the island...
General Onegin and has not endured the Soviet epoch. The Moscow attack has caused an irreparable damage to its health.
For "repairing" of obverse bones it had to transfer some operations, traumas have become complicated an osteomyelitis.
More than month to it was necessary to spend in hospitals. Worse that is traumatic stress, apparently, has started other
destructive processes in its organism.
A year or two from now after an exit from hospital he has complained for the first time to Sofia Antonovne of pains in a
stomach. There is no saying, what natural threshold of painful sensitivity at the general was, however at medical examination
the inoperable malignant tumour was found out in it, had time to give metastasises in a liver and even in a pleura.
Sofia Antonovna - their old contract was that - has fairly informed Onegina about everything that to it doctors have told. After
some months he has died at home, discharged from hospital to die.
Well enough knowing, as the organisation in which it served functions, Sofia Antonovna was not surprised, when next day
after death of Onegina to it there have arrived representatives of KGB. Its office has been sealed up. However, to it have
helped with the organisation of funeral and with all formalities. After funeral some employees have disassembled and have
taken away archive of the general. For her, however, have left spacious apartment.
By then son Oneginyh has successfully finished MGIMO and has soon left to work on a diplomatic line - at first to Syria, and
then, with increase, in emiraty.
During last period of a life of the general, after an extract to look after the sick husband to Sofia Antonovne helped T.V. It
had to sit earlier never with the dying. Her has amazed, Onegin was how much changed.
Until recently it seemed it the person closed in a strong shell, strict and severe. Strangers could appear at his place only
under the preliminary arrangement, for a short while. It concerned and to her in spite of the fact that she has had time to
make friends with Sofia Antonovnoj.
Business was not in the changed appearance - a smoothfaced head which became similar to a skull fitted by a skin, the
body which has almost lost muscles and fat, the blown up stomach, and that sometimes appeared through now from under
rastrekavshejsja shells.
