Roman Leibov. Checkers out!
On November 30 , 1999, at the end of the 20th century, on Tuesday, Alexey Tolkachev wrote in his diary: “Is it even possible in Russian? Well, finally.” The next Russian entry, made a month later, read : “It’s been a while since I picked up checkers.” As far as I know, these are the first entries in Russian in LiveJournal diaries. It would be strange not to talk to Alexey. Alexey, what is it like to be the father of such a strange but talented son as LJ? What is "father"?
