talked about the "Elves and Men, Death and
Immortality. "After that, were the guests
of Tikhvin Hobby T-Club 'Come with

creative. It is unlikely that even the Professor

 Now let's say that as a guest of
Moscow Semenov read an article
Moscow translator Prokhorova
"Virtues of the world Tolkien: debt and
humility. "She read it well. For
experienced listeners report was
very interesting. And then made Ilya
Coachmen with a report on the flora of Middle Earth.
He pointed out the possible match between
mentioned in "The Lord of the Rings" and the
currently existing plants, drawing
listeners' attention on the amazing
accuracy and richness of detail, given
Tolkien in the descriptions of flora
Middle-earth. Then followed a break.

strategy. Further, T. Figlin talked about
possible interpretations of Tolkien's images
from the perspective of psychological theories of Eric Berne
and K. Jung. Again, there was a break.

 What was the last part of the workshop?
It is easy to say. It is, oddly enough,
consisted of reports. Zoltan Barding

itself).

 Finally, the joint efforts
Organizing Committee failed to close. In
concluding remarks Eykinskyaldi
suggested that the matter does not end.
The most patient listeners, overcome them
All eight hours of seminar
left the room tired but happy.
People learned about the incident, and many
said that this was to be expected.
So ended the seminar. The news of this
spread far and wide and caused
large disturbance. In this saga
ends.
