translitaration

[Rossen Djagalov]

Sorry, apparently the Russian text could not make through. Here's a 
transliteration of the passage from Eidel'man's diary:
3 sentyabrya 1983 g. ...U Okudzhavy — i zatem v “Pragu”: Rozov, Baklanov, 
Vinokurov, Okudzhava + Ol'ga, iz Los-Andzhelesa Terri. Tosty — za druzhbu, 
tepluyu obstanovku: v centre razgovora — chto eti lyudi ne sobralis' by za 
odnim stolom. I Dzherri religiozen (hochet uvidet' moyu veruyushuyu doch') —
 on zastavlyaet menya dvazhdy pozhimat' ruku Solouhinu. (A Baklanov — 
tol'ko chto hvalil Chaka). A Bulat govorit o “Detyah Arbata” i ob arbatstve 
i nacii baharah — “arbatec” (arbatstvo). I razgovor s Bulatom o fil'me 
Asanovoi “Pacany”, o prekrasnoi final'noi pesne, sochinennoi rebyatami. I 
razgovory o moei “poezdke” v SShA i nepoezdke. /286–287/

And here's how Eidel'man's widow comments upon the above fragment:
V eto vremya Natan s mater'yu zhil v Dome tvorchestva v Peredelkine. a ya 
ryadom snimala dachu po sosedstvu s Gorodnickimi. V etot vecher, ne pomnyu 
kto i po kakomu povodu, sobiral gostei v restorane “Praga”. Kazhetsya, eto 
Bulat po povodu priezda obshego druga Terri Emmonsa. [This is not the noted 
Stanford historian, Professor Emeritus Terrence Emmonce.--R.D.] Dumayu, tak 
i est', potomu chto iz zhenshin prisutstvovala tol'ko Olya Okudzhava. <...> 
O posidelkah v restorane Natan nichego ne rasskazal, tol'ko otmetil 
mimohodom, chto sobralas' strannaya, raznosherstnaya kompaniya, i 
podivilsya tomu, kak eto Bulatu udaetsya sohranyat' horoshie otnosheniya so 
stol' raznymi lyud'mi? Esli by rech' shla o kom-to drugom, to, mozhet byt', 
v slovah Natana tailos' by osuzhdenie, no Bulata on bukval'no bogotvoril, i 
nichto v nem ne moglo vyzvat' u Natana ni somnenii, ni ukora. /tam zhe, 287–
288/.
