Question on "the siege of St. Petersburg"

[J.W.]

Ottawa (Canada), Tuesday 24/5/05 19h35 EDT

A vivid account of the siege of St-Petersburg by a Russian-Canadian
writer who lived through it as a young girl may be found in the first
chapter of Faina Blagodarova's autobiographical novel "Akh, `eti chernye
glaza..." (Baltimore, USA: "Forum", 1999), which I have translated into
English ("Oh, those dark eyes!"); the translation is currently looking
for a publisher.  Ms Blagodarova was one of the presenters at a recent
forum at Eckerd College in Florida on the topic of the siege, as
indicated in the 2nd to last paragraph of the programme on-line at:

Samples of Ms Blagodarova's poetry may be found (in the original &
English translation) at:
