00:09 When I walk down the street with an adult, I feel my own guilt, when people look back at us. I feel uncomfortable to this person. As for me personally, I'm used to such looking.
00:33 Being a child I always cried a lot, when someone hurt me. My mom tried to resolve these conflicts, i.e. with teachers at school, with parents of such children. Naturally, she was very worried.
01:00 At this picture, I am 2 years and 2 months old. Just at that time my mom was told that I had stopped growing.
01:07 When I visited school, I had a growth of 80 centimetres. This is my child-age picture, I'm in 8th grade (I'm in the middle).
01:16 Here I am a student of a college, when I was 16 years old. Here is the time of the passport change,
01:28 I am 25 years old. By that time I was a metre in height, and later my growth reached 1 m 6 cm and stopped.
01:34 Here I am 42 years old. Since childhood to the present age, I have grown up just for 10 centimetres.
01:46 Now I feel quite comfortable, although the most part of my life is already passed. I have no bad feeling— I even forget that I am short.
02:04 When I water the flowers in the kitchen, I take two stools, put them on each other, and put another little stool on the top. And then I climb this "ladder" like a balancer.
02:40 I worked at the circus. The first time I was not taken, but I did not grieve at this. Aspiring to get to the circus I lost 6 kgs. I weighed 26 kgs, but when working for the circus — 22-23 kgs, and one time even 18 kgs. I've always followed a diet.
03:09 When the second time they took me without even an examination, I firstly could not believe it, and secondly I poured a hail of tears, because of joy that I was taken to the circus, to such the famous show!
03:37 "Will I really work in your show?" I asked. "Yes, Tonya, you will," they answered. "But I have no skills," I said. "Do not worry, we'll teach you," they answered.
03:48 That was the happiest moment in my life, because I achieved something I had always longed for inwardly.
04:03 The show was preceded by the announcement: "People's Artist of Russia, head of the illusion show Yuri Avyerino".
04:15 Managers appeared on the stage and brought two large halves of the pot painted in Khoklhoma style.
04:25 Then two little actors came out, me and my partner. We went into our respective halves of the pot. Pot was closed, "one, two, three" was said, the pot opened, little actors disappeared, and instead of them a big guy and a little guy in the same elegant Russian costumes came out.
05:02 There was also a moon under the dome that could say "Ha-ha" and blink. I operated this moon being in the middle of it and powering the moon's eyes and mouth with levers. A big man could not fit into it, that's why they used a dwarf.
05:15 Later I left for Italy on my own and worked for some time for an Italian circus. That was the second largest Italian circus, a very famous dynasty founded more than a hundred years ago, "Circus Orfei."
05:30 There I worked as a dresser. I sewed everything: adornments, hats, and costumes themselves. When work on a costume was finished, I was so glad to see it in a show, it was like a breath of great satisfaction for me, as if I made some incredible feat. The work was to my liking.
06:05 I was offered to work on, but I could not remain abroad any more. Craving for my homeland is my nature. Here I am protected, because my relatives live here. I have two sisters, nephews, while in Italy everything was strange.
06:26 Talking to her charges you, like an accumulator. She accumulates energy and vitality around herself. Such is our sister.
06:40 To my mind, thank God that we exist. We are like dolls!
06:51 We should appreciate the least things we have, because the biggest is summed from the smallest.
06:59 тMy soul feels comfortable in this body. And the only thing I dream is to see myself high for an instant. Only for a moment. But I'd like to stay the same as I am.
