My childhood in the USSR

14 So, remembering her first trip to the Butakovsky pass, Natasha, having overcome the dam, slowly climbed to the Chimbulak tract. From all sides it was surrounded by high, mighty, bewitching mountains, overgrown with Tien Shan firs. When looking at them, Natalia simply took her breath away from their monumental solemnity and grandeur.

The girl, first of all, double-checked the sequence of operations preceding the start of work and was convinced of the correctness and completeness of their implementation.

Целый час Наталья не могла оторваться от окна, горькие слёзы лились рекой, плечи вздрагивали от отчаянных рыданий, мысли путались и мешались в её голове.
