Thanks for the recommendation. Not sure if I'll be able to buy it soon enough: dealing with Amazon in Russia may be problematic. That's the essence of it. There's a saying in Russia: "Even a stick shoots once in a year". It's still a stick, not a rifle. What you and I went through, no kid ever should. Still, Nietzsche was right: "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger". Resilience gained afterwards is a virtue for the whole life.That's not too say they didn't get it right a few times but that doesn't really make up for the rest.
