Description
Nina was the wife of Andrei Shimkevich. She writes of her love to Andrei and their hope to start a new, happier life. Andrei works a lot somewhere far from her probably, in Bolshevo, outside Moscow, in the commune and due to this hard work he will be allowed to live with her soon. She writes several time that his father Mikhail has done terrible things to him and continues his attempts to defame him in her eyes. She also praises Andrei, telling how he is kind, sensitive and culturally developed.
