Nicolai Levashov. The Mirror of My Soul. Vol. 1. Born in the USSR

I asked my friends to sell one of the videotape recorders, which I brought with me
from Ger-many, for a good price and thus, I had money for running expenses. First, I
had to get rid of the builders’ rubbish, which for some reason even appeared under the
linoleum, level the floor and plane corners, etc. Then I had to prepare the walls for
papering. In order to create the illusion of a high ceiling I put up some coving, which I
had ordered beforehand. All this decorated my dwelling and, when the wallpaper was
hung, my apartment began to look pretty good. A friend of mine helped me to do all this
work and I am very grateful to him. Finally the apartment acquired a more or less decent
look, but it was ... empty! I had to find and purchase furniture ... which would be as
decent as I could find .

Thanks to my friends I managed to buy a carpet with a pleasant pattern that covered
the whole floor, and later some Yugoslavian furniture, very comfortable arm-chairs and
a folding sofa. In the Soviet times one could get all this only by waiting in turn for several
years, or, using special “connections” get it quickly paying two or three times the price.
I did not have to overpay, because my friends helped me. One way or another, the
furniture was assembled and placed, the apartment finally acquired an air fit to live in
and… I had to go Moscow again. The point of this visit was that Albert Ignatenko had
invited me to deliver a course of lectures in his school in the middle of February. I
decided to accept this offer and therefore had to go. So, I did not succeed in spending
even a few days in my apartment after I had brought order to it.

Before my departure I paid a visit to my acquaintances and told them about my
participation in the Chernobyl case, when I appealed to one of the highest hierarchies of
the Universe and they sent a space ship and prevented a planetary catastrophe in the
beginning of October, 1987.

As I wrote before, people who fought with the calamity in the sarcophagus of the
fourth reactor observed the actions of the space guests. The appearance of the space ship

over the sarcophagus was a bolt from the blue for everyone and the secret service kept
this fact totally secret. So, my story, which contained very precise details, exact times
and the explanation of why this space ship appeared, got me some very rapt attention on
the part of the Soviet secret service.

From exactly this moment a new chapter of my life began, namely, my opposition
to the secret services of the USSR and later the secret services of other countries.
Certainly, I did not under-stand this at once. I must say that life itself put this fact in
front of me without asking whether I liked it or not, whether I wanted it or not. A couple
of days after that talk, I was offered military shoulder-straps again. It was done on the
street, as if incidentally, when I left the building of the Soviet State insurance company
“Gosstrakh”.

Only the salary they offered did not corresponded to my rank which I got on my
51
discharge from the Soviet Army in 1986. They probably “confused” the size of the stars
and where they were located on my shoulder-straps. They offered me a 600 roubles
salary, complete freedom of action and absolute assistance of the government in all my
projects! There will be no need to wear a uniform. I could go anywhere at any time.
But…, “sometimes” I must do whatever they ask me to do! It was a very “nice” offer,

50 It was the time of a total deficiency in almost everything in the USSR then.
51 He discharged from the Army in the rank of lieutenant and was proposed a salary corresponded to major. Both ranks are
marked with 2 stars, but the major’s ones are bigger.
