In the city on the Neva (Saint Petersburg), I was surrounded by love and care. The experienced teachers, [that is,] the mentors of the great Ulanova, generously shared their knowledge with me and with other young envoys from Kirghizia (now Kyrgyzstan). They took our failures and disappointments to heart and rejoiced in our first successes.

В городе на Неве меня окружили любовью и вниманием. Опытные педагоги, учителя великой Улановой, щедро передавали свои знания мне и другим юным посланцам Киргизии. Они близко принимали к сердцу наши неудачи и огорчения, радовались нашим первым успехам.
