And settled on the name Mark. And so Liza gave birth, I drove into the hospital, kissed her and Mark and left for Nizhny Novgorod, where I staged a ceremony for the 800th anniversary of the city. <…> Spinning in my head: "Mark, Mark". And I suddenly understand: something is wrong with the name. And another name pops up — Leo & # 34;, — Averbukh quotes the publication & # 34; 7 days & # 34;.
