systems which appeared to be very real...

But that too will happen in the future. Now I have finished the fifth year in the radio
physics faculty, the chair of theoretical radio physics. I graduated from the university
among the best students of our chair which was considered the elite of the faculty and
waited impatiently for the assignment. Everybody knew that the military registration and

enlistment office had requested 25 men for the Soviet Army from our chair. When they
called my name and I entered a room, where the assignment commission was, nobody
asked me anything. The dean simply said “Levashov—to the Army”. They asked no
questions, they were not interested in my opinion. They were obliged to fulfill this
request for 25 persons, but they were reluctant to send “their people” to the Army and
did not care about my constitutional right to choose my own assignment.

This kind of thing shocked me—even those who were the last in the queue for the
assignment were asked where they wished to go, as I found out later. Quite simply
somebody “desperately” needed my place. One way or another, I got my “assignment”
to the Army. Everybody, including me, understood perfectly that after military service,
it would be naïve to reckon on scientific career. Nobody would take time to refresh old
material and to study new. Of course, I was disappointed, who wouldn’t be?

I didn’t know yet, that due to my assignment to the Army I would get the
opportunity to make a discovery which became a crucial moment in my life and in the
future would allow both creating for myself and penetrating into the mysteries of nature
…

But, that was still to come and at this time I began to go through the bureaucratic
formalities. In the regional military office our passports were taken and we were given
an officer identity card; we passed the medical and took our assignments. We also were
given officer’s holiday pay and traveling allowance, altogether 500 roubles, and we went
on holiday before our military service.

I went home to spend some time with my relatives and then to the Black Sea, to the
town of Sudak, where my then did her practical work. It was the first time I had spent
my holidays at the seaside, and the second time I had seen the Black (Russian) Sea,
which was different in Sudak, at least the beach was stony and the water was very clean,
which is why it was possible to observe fish and other sea inhabitants: that was very
interesting for me.

It turned out that although our family lived between the Caspian Sea and the Black
Sea, we couldn’t go to the sea, when our parents were on vacation. It was very expensive
to spend several days at the seaside with the whole family. That is why every summer

we went to the Kundruchensky farm and spent our holiday among the steppes. But there
were a lot of large ponds there and I also visited a huge storage pond, but nevertheless,
a sea is a sea, with its infinite water reaching the horizon, huge waves, etc.
When I was a teenager I learned to swim quite well in those ponds and could cover
considerable distances. The only thing I did not like was to swim quickly. I adored lying
on my back and swimming, looking at the sky. It charmed me a lot, but sooner or later
the far bank appeared and the illusion of the endlessness of the pond disappeared. The
