The Portrait of the Teacher

Abstract

A teacher... pictures of careless childhood, sounds of the first school bell, the first answer board and all the things that happened for the first time in one's life pop up in memory of almost every person by mentioning of this word. I had luck not only with the first schoolteacher, memories and warm feelings about her will remain in my heart forever, but also with my teacher and mentor in adult life, a teacher whom I can call a true friend. This is Yury Lvovich Kurako. You can talk about him forever. He is a complex personality, and also he is talented, artistic, extremely curious, full of ideas, stout-hearted, tender, sentimental and very strict. He is an artist of his own destiny, and therefore his identity is inexhaustible.
