But even his love lyric, addressed to Yekaterina Sushkova or Natalya Ivanova,
could not be relied upon as autobiographical;
The couple had two daughters, Mariya(born 28 April 1985 in Leningrad,
Soviet Union) and Yekaterina(Katja) born 31 August 1986 in Dresden,
East Germany.
But as we know, Bolkonsky was played by the main lyrical hero and the favorite of that time, Vyacheslav Tikhonov,
who personally insisted on the candidacy of Culture Minister Yekaterina Furtseva.
