Вальтер Эйердам в Кремле

[nol21]

-- Some months later, when I was sick to the point of death in the hospital built by Napoleon near the Kremlin, I was given the best treatment that could be had by Dr. Maxim Zedkin, the son of Clara Zedkin, who at that time was second in command after Stalin. Dr. Maxim Zedkin was not only an outstanding M.D. but was also a zoologist. He had taught paleontology at the university of Munich and had written a book on the birds of the Caucasus, where he had carried on explorations. When I recovered from my sickness I was invited three time to the Kremlin as private guest of Clara Zedkin who at that time was past eighty.-- The Nautilus, v. 55
