I am not whining. I am not pestering. I am sharing my personal record, by stating the following facts: I am not a rich man at all, I live on a small handicapped pension of $45 per month. I was given a personal computer by people of good will here in appreciation of my little efforts for world peace through poetry. I am palpitating with joy! I was born in an army man's family in Moscow on 20 April, 1932, I graduated from the Maurice Thorez Foreign Languages Institute in Moscow. As a child, I lost both my legs in a street accident during the Nazi bombing of Moscow. In 1943, my father laid down his life at the front while fighting the invading German army. From then on, I made up my mind to devote my life to the cause of world peace, and I chose poetry as the foothold for me to push forward the cause of human peace. Because poetry is the universal language and transcends all barriers, since it touches the heart. You will enjoy

N E W S ! ! ! This year IWA (International Writers and Artists Association) President Teresinka Pereira. (Address: P.O. Box 352048, Toledo, OH 43635-2048, USA) is supporting Poet Igor Mikhailusenko as a candidate to the Peace Nobel Prize. Also see a supporting letter from Neel E. Ejderskov, a Danish Medical Doctor. This is what Russian Poet Igor Mikhailusenko says about PEACE: "Peace is not a firebird from a fairy tale to be chased by its tail on the rocks, but an ardent and persistently active attitude towards life. Any reasonable effort is valuable for achieving this great aim of mankind, for peace spells happiness." As a child, Igor lost both his legs during World War II, in a Moscow street accident, but he never lacked courage. His poems and peace letters were sent to numerous publications abroad. Inside the Soviet Union he and his works have been publicized in various journals and magazines. He was the author of the lyrics to the Olympic song "Shine Out, Just Like a Star, Our Sporting Planet", written for the Games of 1980. He was also awarded the badge of Honor of Moscow Peace Committee for his active work in the promotion of peace." NB! In the letter to each IWA Member, Dr. Teresinka Pereira, President of IWA writes: January 30, 2005And another letter from Neel E. Ejderskov, a Danish Medical Doctor who writes: Attn. To whom it may concern! |
by Mr. Igor Mikhailusenko
This volume is a collection of poems and essays written both in Russian and English and is intended to represent a call for peace and love, for understanding of the human condition in the present world and an ardent plea for world peace as the only means to achieve true happiness. The book has four parts. PART 1: "Poems Written in English", consists of 22 poems where various aspects of the human life are pictured through the eyes and soul of peace-loving people. In poems such as "I Am a Dreamer" (page 27) the global view is projected regarding matters such as religious mind and life; this poem's peaceful message describes the spring skies coming from Russia, expressing a widely accepted sense of harmony. PART 2: "Three Lyrics of Pure Visions and Desires", regards the world peace and harmony as an enlightened cosmic dimension. In the poem "Cosmic Tango", a distant view over our Earth and the distant surrounding Cosmos are seen as partners in a space of trilling and rings. PART 3: "Tribute To Third Millennium", contains nine poems and is devoted to the message of hope, beauty, meditation, happiness and peace as the world enters a new era of social, economic and political challenges, when old barriers and ideologies fall to the new and become symbols of a past that must be left behind. A dream of peace, love and hope for the co-existence of the old cultural divides is the force for a renewed path of humanity's future is pictured in these poems (such as, "Beauty Will Save the World"). PART 4: "As I think of God", consists of poems and essays written to symbolize the gratitude to the contacts and exchanges the poet has experienced over time, expressing the views of the American experience and its reflection reaching back to Russian cultural values. Pieces such as "Goodwill Mission" are reminiscent of the period when the USA and the USSR were still on a collision course in military and ideological terms - but as the 1990's have witnessed such deep political and economic transformations, the poet's long-term dream of peace and harmony come closer to realization. ---------------------------------

I've been keen in Extraterrestrial contacts since my childhood. When I was a boy of seven-years old, I dreamed about the Martians and the Lunar men ...When I was a boy of thirteen-years old, I came across the "First Men on the Moon", a fascinating book by H.G. Wells, and, later on, his book, "The War of the Worlds" about the Martians ... It goes without saying, that I also read his stories such as "The Invisible Man ", "The Man Who could work Miracles", "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes", "When the Sleeper Wakes", "The Door in the Wall", and many others. I read with great interest the wonderful science-fiction stories by my friend Aleksander Kazantsev, who lives in Moscow and is much more above ninety-years-old now. I was fortunate to meet him after many previous meetings, not long ago, in the Artists 'Central Club, where many people gathered to congratulate him on his 90th Birthday Anniversary. He was very sprightly for his age, he looked still hale. We exchanged handshakes and gave each other a hug ! I read in his honour my lyrics to the song "STARRY MEETING" under loud applause of the audience. We took a liking to each other and had our photo taken together as a memento. I keep that photo in my album alongside with many mutual photos of the first Mormon US Astronaut, Dr. Don Leslie Lind and his family with whom we met in Logan, Utah, USA, in October 1990. Don gave a copy of the book "DON LIND - Mormon Astronaut", written by his wife Kathleen Maugham Lind on which they both wrote: Dear Russian Brother, In an article about you we read of your interest and concern about space exploration. We thought you might be interested to know an LDS brother has been in space as a NASA astronaut. This was a great experience - but the thing that means the most to us is our testimonies of the Savior and His Church. We are acquainted with many of the Russian astronauts. With Loving Regards, Brother
and Sister Lind -

To Dear Igor Mikhailusenko - to a dreamer for whom one dreams and wishes that in the year 2000 AD he will remain as fresh and young with his dreams as he is today, and then he will accomplish something unusual, necessary, and brilliant. Alexander
Kazantsev
9th December, 1960 I would like to tell some more about Alexander Kazantsev writer's profile: The Russian readers know him, an engineer, as the author of the science fiction books - "The Blazing Island " and "The Arctic Bridge". Recently he published "Northern Pier", a new novel . It is a dream of rugged region to make life on earth fuller and happier. He read so much about the Arctic and had longed to go there ever since he was a boy who admired Jack London's strong and dauntless characters .Eventually, Alexander Kazantsev sailed to the Arctic on board the "Georgi Sedov," a ship of legendary fame, which in 1937-40 drifted all the way through the Polar Basin, farther to the North than Nansen's "Fram."I love science-fiction stories, and love to hear about Extraterrestrial contacts which happen now and then. I would like to say some more in this connection. We, Russians watched a terrific movie one day - "E.T.", with Henry Thomas as "Elliot." It was quite an enchanting story on the screen ! The cinema-theatres in Moscow were full of people. I have had my own experience with the Extraterrestrials. And here is a true story about the comers from the outer space:One starry night, under the Moon I saw a dream... I didn't meet the Extraterrestrials, when they came into contact with me. They were invisible, but they brought their important info to me, while I was a-sleeping... They brought it to me in a poetic form, in unearthly verses... It was their Testimony. And I wrote it down when I awoke... It happened at mid-Summer night when the Moon shone bright in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Yes, I was asleep, and some strange lyrics in the English language came into my subconscious. The most unusual lyrics ever created by the Extraterrestrials... They were talking in thoughts, telepathically, and in a third person, I don't know why...They uttered their message and gave a title to it as the following: |

The sandstorm
blizzards whirl severely,
(Translated
from the Russian by Walter May)
(Published in World Poetry 1997, in India) Academician Vladimir Afanasyevich OBRUCHEV (1863 - 1956) wrote the following words to me in August 1955: "The absence of complications in the life of the people throughout the world and of attempts of any nation to try to overpower another may, if you please, be considerate to be the highest form of happiness which would permit the individual to grow and develop happily." |
The problem of space exploration has drown the attention of more and more people recently. The Soviet probes launched to Mars and one of its satellites, Photos, the planning mission of the American Discovery vehicle, discussions on the possible flight of a Soviet-American crew to Mars, and detection of a humanoid image on the rocky surface of Mars prompted me - during my visit to the United States on a peace mission this summer - to write a letter to Senator John Glenn, the first American who circled the Earth.In the letter I expressed my views on the proposed manned flight to Mars and asked John Glenn to share his ideas on this question. The American astronaut sent me his reply: Dear Mr. Mikhailusenko, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me about a manned mission to Mars. The direction and emphasis of our efforts in space have changed a great deal since I was associated with the program. In those early years the emphasis was simply putting a man into space and bringing him safely home. Today, the benefits of further manned and unmanned space exploration are abundant in the quest for new scientific and technological discoveries. We most definitely can secure many additional rewards by continuing our efforts in space. The justification for our space program lies in the benefits it produces for us both now and in the future, benefits which enhance the lives of each and every one of us. Consider that countries human lives and millions of dollars have been saved through satellite warnings of hurricanes, typhoons, and severe storms; advanced weather forecasts have increased crop yields worldwide; and, communication satellites continually bring us closer together, linking continents at half the cost of ten years ago. Only continued national commitment to a long-term, well-funded program of space science and exploration will enable the U.S. to maintain its leadership in space. For this reason, I believe that we should seriously consider a manned mission to Mars. Of course, a mission of this size will take years of development, planning, and negotiation. Many options exist for its implementation, including international cooperation. Although I do not rule out the possibility of a joint venture with the Soviet Union, or for that matter, other nations, I still have several questions about its implications for technology transfer. For example, technological advances in the aerospace industry are integral parts of the national economy. Should we allow valuable technology, developed at a cost of millions by the U.S. government and private sector, to be transferred to other countries with whom we are in competition? This concern exists particularly when dealing with the Soviet Union because our national security is involved. We must be sure that the peaceful uses of space will be enhanced by the inevitable transfer of technology stemming from a joint venture. The idea of a joint venture is being explored by NASA because international cooperation is indeed very important to the long-term future of the space program; but, we must be sure that our national security will be maintained. Thank you for the benefit of your views on this subject of mutual concern. Best regards,
November,

... On another occasion I dreamt I was a friend of Bertrand Russell, the well-known anti-H-Bomb campaigner and one of the greatest philosophers of the century, and that I went to see him one day and said: "Can you give me sweets?" And he said: "Well, I'm sorry, I can't give you sweets because I have none about me but one which I need as a magic bullet for my rifle. As you, probably, know, an awful monster from another planet has treacherously attacked the human race and we shall defeat the enemy!" Frightened as I was by his words, I wasn't slow in uniting with Bertrand Russell in the desire to save human beings from the monster. And I noted with satisfaction that there was no conflict of Communism or Capitalism at the moment: all were united in the face of the imminent risk of total annihilation by the outer space invader. I woke up before the battle was decided; and I never was so much disappointed in life by the continuous East-West tension. Thank-you to the wise leaders, especially to Comrade Brezhnev, who have made the present detente possible!When Bertrand Russell was 90, I sent him a post-card with birthday greetings. He answered by a kind letter, saying that he "greatly appreciated them." Thus our correspondence happily started. I received several interesting letters from Russell. In his letter of 5th September 1962 to me, Russell wrote: "Nothing can justify the readiness or the willingness to incinerate human beings in their hundreds of millions." And he also wrote that he was greatly encouraged by my letter of 28 August, 1962 in which I say that war is amoral and that I would not press the button. Another afternoon when I sat in my study, watching on TV a musical comedy and felt asleep, I dreamt that I went for a stroll and met a very beautiful woman, whose skin was of chocolate colour and whose eyes shone with joy. I asked her: "What is your name, please?" And she answered with a charming smile: "I'm Africa." I awoke; and I remembered my words which appeared in the pages of "NEW AGE" (Cape Town) on 21st June 1962: "In my mind's eye I see Africa after 1000 years -- her own heroic sons reaching the stars and coming back to find the Earth the most beautiful place in the Universe where all inhabitants enjoy Peace, Freedom and Happiness. And, naturally, there is no colonialism in Africa; all Africans, young and old, are their own masters living in Prosperity!" And I was glad, indeed, when I had an opportunity to insert this forecast of mine into the pages of "FREIE WELT" (Berlin, the DDR), issue No.29, in 1971, as well !I dreamt that it was towards evening of the day and a low knock was heard at the door of my prison room. We, goodness gracious ! I dreamt that I was in prison, in China. "Enter", I said, "if you are a friend; if you are an enemy, I have no means of refusing your entrance". "I am," said Mao Tse-tung, entering the room, "friend or enemy, Igor, as this interview shall make me. I want to know if China has a future? "I awoke very puzzled; but then there came to my mind the following words Dr. Hewlett Johnson wrote to me in his letter of 23rd April 1956, which were published on 2nd June 1956 in "The Peking People's Daily and broadcast on Peking Radio; he wrote: "I have travelled from end to end of the Chinese Republic and travelled there three years ago. It was after a lapse of 20 years and the change was miraculous. Women freed, sickness vigorously exterminated. A wholly new honesty from top to bottom. A new vigour for work. A great belief in their future. The land is in the hands who till it. A rapid industrialization. A general spread of prosperity. A new hope for the children and for old age. The Chinese People's Republic has a very bright future before it, and already making its impress upon the world... I am quite sure that the Chinese people and the Russian people will come closer and closer to our British people in one united and peaceful world. "I deeply deplore the present disagreements, this Sino-Soviet situation. I believe they will in time be resolved. (Published

Because our people all need him,
Let Russia once again arise,
And that is

(Translated
from the Russian by Walter May)
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE: URBI ET ORBI ! Published in The Russia Journal July 1-7,2000 by Igor Mikhailusenko I watch with interest what the press
media reports here. Recently, my attention was attracted by the following:
On July 13, 1995, he gave me his book "The Years of Hard Decisions" and inscribed it: "To Igor Mikhailusenko -- from the author. I wish you good health and peace of mind. Mikhail Gorbachev." In explaining my country' s new changes, I would like to say that World War II depleted Russia. The leaders tried mostly to do what was best for the country, but there were some who wanted to enrich themselves and not the country. Mikhail Gorbachev is not like that. He is very much loved by the people in our country, because he ushered in a new era of Perestroika and Glastnost. I believe his opinions about Vladimir Putin is very true and encouraging. I believe that Vladimir Putin is much beloved by the people in our country, too. He is just the man to rule the country, because he stands for peace and brotherly love. It' s essential in our time, for without peace and brotherly love there can be no genuine happiness ! Sometimes, people get upset at a leader because he cannot create a paradise in one day. God even took longer than that when He created the earth. We, Russian people must be patient with a leader.

I am a Man. In love ! In Love ! The planet's bells ring out above ! The bells of Spring, they ring and ring ! On Earth naught harmful can evil bring ! In love with all the heavenly height, In love with dreams in winding flight, In love with all the blooming flowers Where you are wandering hours and hours ! In love with water's expanse of blue, Where steamers white go streaming through, In love with forests robed in green, Where birds are heard and gladly seen, In love with earthly people so, With flocks of swans, as white as snow. In love with ancient mountain peaks Where Eternity still spaces seeks ! In love with all which round lies, And with the clear, so-near-me skies. In love with the gleam of a distant star To which the road is hard and far... And therefore I must simply say, "I'm burning with new love today !" Spring

On March 18, 1978, "Soviet Weekly" (London, G.B.) published the following sorrowful news titled "Lawrence Bradshaw": "SOVIET WEEKLY deeply regrets to report the death in London last week of the noted sculptor Lawrence Bradshaw, a long standing friend of our paper and for many years a prominent leader of the movement for friendship with the USSR.I knew Mr Lawrence Bradshaw by correspondence. In 1976, I was fortunate to exchange letters with him on Peace and related subjects. I want to share two letters I received from Mr Bradshaw in his time. On 1st January 1976, he wrote me a very thoughtful, very interesting heart-touching letter and sent it by surface mail, and it hit the target ! In the letter in question, he wrote: Dear Igor,A few months have passe, and Mr Bradshaw wrote and sent me another letter-reply, dated 27th July 1976. It read: Dear Igor, |
