I still remember that peasant girl. [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=4) Maybe once every ten years, I felt a healthy sexual desire. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=11) In the morning, they put slaughtered chickens and hares on the table, their peasant food. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=16) But it was healthy because there was lots of meat, pork, vegetables. And, as was customary, he set out cognac. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=22) I had never drunk at all in the morning. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=23) But there was cognac in the morning. The old man, the old woman, and the daughter- in- law. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=27) Her husband was away working somewhere. That was everyone. Then we drank too, had a bite. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=31) And I was still comparatively younger than I am now. It was about 20 years ago. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=36) It was my first summer in Transcarpathia. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=38) I walked to the village. No buses ran. I loved the freedom, there was no one around, Moscow was far away. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=42) I walked along calmly, alone, by myself. And then I found that address. That was it, we got acquainted. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=49) So I spent the night there, and in the morning, there was this peasant breakfast. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=52) He says, “Have breakfast.” So I think, there’ll be some cottage cheese, an egg, that’s all. [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=55) He piled all kinds of food on the table and even put out cognac, but he himself doesn’t eat, doesn’t drink. He’s an old man already. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=61) I had nothing else to do. I ate and drank. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=63) Then they went out into the yard, and the daughter- in- law cleared the table. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=67) She was clearing up right next to me. I could feel it. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=70) I took her hand, got bold, felt it. She was right there beside me, clearing the cups and everything. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=74) She was clearing up. Rough, peasant-like skin, but a woman’s skin. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=78) She was wearing just a dress. I drank some more, got brazen, and started feeling her all over. [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=83) She had only a dress on. There was nothing underneath, no bra, no panties— nothing. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=88) And it was hot, summer somehow. A strange house, everything strange. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=91) I asked where, where to, what. And the old folks were busy there, chasing chickens, doing all sorts of things, they left, and no one was around. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=97) There isn't any. A peasant hut. And so I was aroused by that peasant smell, so to speak, on her skin, so to speak, and no cosmetics anywhere near her. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=106) She doesn't know what that is. Maybe she would like to, she just doesn't know how. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=109) They simply don't have that. So I enjoyed it precisely because there was something like that, that I'm a man, she's a girl, and she's silent, she doesn't resist. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=119) There was no, "What are you doing? It's my first time, how could I?" City girls start with that. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=124) Because she too, apparently, has been without a husband for a long time. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=127) You can't fool around in the village, there's nobody there, and he's been away earning money for a long time. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/E8XMgszLRowx/en/a-recollection-of-a-rural-encounter-in-transcarpathia?t=131) Maybe he shows up once a year.
