moment her shoulders began to shudder with silent sobs. Secretary General Fomin broke off his speech in a mid-sentence and anxiously stepped aside.

      I looked back. The second woman stayed at the open doorway, with a horror on her face, but all the four of the sponsor’s Security moved forward, closer to the coffin; no more boredom was seen on their faces, but acute alarm. Suddenly the blond girl rose to her full height and turned to the hall. I was standing some three yards away from her, and when I saw her face, her hair and bright red lips, I thought I was losing my mind, or already lost it. “Jesus Christ!” I thought feeling cold shivers on my spine, “She is a dead spit of Marilyn Monroe!"

      Maybe something strange was happening then to my mind, but undoubtedly that was Marilyn Monroe who was standing at the coffin with gleaming eyes. Yes, that great American actress, a singer, the eternal icon of western pop culture, genuine and everlasting sex-symbol of America. When she was still alive, some fifty or sixty years ago, any man – as it was in the papers – without doubt would give his right hand for just one night with Marilyn. That was excess, but popular one and very close to the point. She was delightful, charming and most beautiful woman in the world, who, alas, committed suicide half a century ago, taking as a nightcap an over-dose of barbiturates. I saw this fascinating woman in a dozen of old movies, I viewed her risky sexy photos, and I did vividly remember her velvety voice, when she sang “Happy birthday to you” for President Kennedy, who without doubt loved her. I adored this woman. I loved Marilyn Monroe from my adolescence.

      Shocked and fascinated, I looked with awe at these three faces, jumping from one to another: pale one in the coffin, black and white oversized face of the great poet on the portrait, and indescribably lovely one, sweetest in the world – and beyond all the questions very alive – the face of Marilyn Monroe. I felt there was some incomprehensible, inaccessible to my mind link among three of these – mysterious, monstrous. Nothing of it coincided neither in time nor in logics, or in common sense. The dead man in a coffin, whom Marilyn Monroe was kissing now, and whose portrait was put beside as quite appropriate, should have been in a grave for ninety years. This blond actress Marilyn Monroe was born two years after his real death, and by no means could sob here, but abide half a century at the heavens. The natural chances of such freakish doubling and a crazy performance were zero.

      “He didn't die! He couldn't die!” suddenly yelled the blonde girl in Russian, though with a distinct British accent. “You killed him, you – the Communists! God damn you, killers! He couldn’t commit suicide, he loved life! Oh, Sergey …”

      But they didn’t let her yell any more. One of those four in expensive suits, who reminded me of a hog, leaped over to her, grabbed her arm, and rudely dragged her away from the coffin. But this girl happened to be surprisingly lively and fast, she managed to slip out of his grip, then seized from under her feet a bunch of flowers, and then went on lashing with it his fat red face. That bouquet was of roses with the thorns, and the “Hog”, clutching his face and protecting the eyes, backed away from her. This moment the fourth of the sponsor’s Security, sinewy one, with a stony and somewhat sickly face, jumped to them, grabbed the girl’s hand and twisted it so hard that she briefly screamed, then he pushed her back, and rudely dragged her down the aisle to the doors, with mourners hastily stepping aside ahead of them.

      The girl did not really walk: her legs were trailing behind, she was carried away. Sinewy one dragged her from the side that was closer to me, and the “Hog” dragged from another. I could not stand it, not because she was a pretty blonde, but because when I see anybody weak being offended or hurt, I take it as a personal offense. That's all. When the girl’s shoes scraped the floor just in front of me, I seized the sick-faced man’s hand.

      “Hey, easy with the lady!” I shouted, and heard my voice echo in the silent hall.

      That man didn’t even look at me; he just hit my arm with his fist, on the biceps. His blow was so quick and painful that I let the girl’s arm go, and both of those proceeded to drag the blond girl to the doors. Something flashed in my mind, and everything around me turned crisp and clear. I grabbed the shirt’s collar of that man from behind, jerked it back, and in the frozen silence of the hall rang the ripping sound of his shirt. The man let the girl’s hand go, though also losing his balance and falling back. I jerked his collar down, and sinewy man fell, with a swing, to the base of the coffin stand, with back of his head into the heap of the flowers.

      The hall was silent, the only sounds heard were the rustling of flowers under the coffin. I didn’t even notice beside me the second man, the “Hog”, because I looked to the right at the fallen man. Then I heard the calm voice of the sinewy man, rising from under the coffin, “Don’t touch him.”

      I looked at my left and saw the “Hog” with a raised fist ready for the blow. He was really huge, taller and heavier than I, and he was all ready. I wouldn’t have had even a chance to raise my arm for protection. I stepped back, but the “Hog” with indifferent air obediently turned away from me, stepped to the coffin, and helped his boss to get up.

      I looked around for the blond girl, and saw her standing with her arm held by comrade Myacheva, party-official already well-known to me. And I heard her saying softly: “Marilyn, stop it! Behave yourself!” She said it in Russian, and then repeated in English with a terrible accent.

      “My God, what I hear, she called her Marilyn!” I thought in amazement. ”The dead twin is a double namesake, and this grieving lover here, who is strikingly Marilyn Monroe in her looks, is also Marilyn!”

      Marilyn was led away to the doors. She was calm now and did not resist Myacheva. At the doorway she suddenly stopped and turned around looking for someone in the crowd. I was staring at her, as all silent mourners did, and I saw her eyes running from face to face. When our eyes met, she stopped her search. Seconds were passing, and as I looked into her eyes I felt I was drowning. All of a sudden she smiled, barely, with just a stir of her lips, but her eyes sparkled – for me only, I was sure.

      6. Marilyn’s Dad

      Around five that day after the funeral Fomin walked nervously around his private office on the second floor of the cottage. Previously he cancelled funeral repast, solemn feast after the burial, customary in Russia. He told his comrades that such a feast has an ecclesiastical nature, and therefore alien to the true Communist spirit, and also it was absolutely inappropriate now because it could slacken them on the eve of the great days coming. Every time Fomin approached the window he looked down at the neighboring cottages, at the farther yellowing fields, then turning away and walking back, tousling his hair.

      This cottage in the elite suburbia, as they call prestigious high-end settlements in Russia, was his party’s property, and was bought just a month ago with sponsor-bank’s money. However, these last weeks before the elections Fomin lived here, moving here alone from his family’s city apartment. In this cottage, besides him, lived his guests from India. Actually, this house was bought especially to accommodate them with appropriate class and luxury.

      Ten minutes ago Fomin called by phone the adjacent room, but when a girl there heard his voice she immediately hung up. However now, after walking around the office, he stopped at the window and dialed her number again. When long beeps ended Fomin clearly and emphatically said into the phone:

      “Marilyn, dear, your Dad will get very upset. Daddy would cry. We should go to him at once, right now, your Dad is already crying!”

      Because a girl didn’t reply immediately, Fomin guessed that she, having recognized his voice, had thrown in anger her cell phone, but then with a great relief he heard her quiet voice, “Yes, I’ll go to see my daddy.”

      Fomin immediately dialed Myacheva’s phone. This party deputy of his was waiting for his call on the first floor. Calmly he said, “Marilyn has agreed to go. Pick her up in ten minutes.”

      Fomin, chewing his lip, looked again at the yellowing fields in the window. Even yesterday he was sure he could keep this crazy girl in check at least last few days. He badly needed only these three or four days, and after that all this would be insignificant, including this whore. But the death of her dear Sergey made her wild. “I had to foresee that! I had to!” He thought with a pain. “They were lovers from the age of fifteen! What else could I ever
