The small cozy hall of the Kokshetau JCC is full of people.
Not only community members, but all worshipers of Igor Guberman's poetry
have gathered here. The soiree-portrait was prepared by the librarian
Lidiya Nyashina and volunteers of the Kokshetau branch of the Republican
Jewish Library.
 Igor
Guberman's portrait is placed on the stage with an inscription "…the
man who allows himself too much". The librarian is telling in detail
about Igor's creative activity starting with his childhood. The guests
are listening attentively, and occasionally interrupt the story with bursts
of laughter.
 This
meeting is unlike the others. Before inviting the guests the library staff
printed out several pages of quatrains, so that everybody could read out
his or her favorite poem.
The meeting was so interesting that many of the guests wanted
to stay and continue the talk. And so we went on with our endless discussion
about Igor Guberman round the table over tea.
