In our days, a university lecturer rarely lives by the laws of morality. Everyone sets their own rules—though they lead to risk.

But if the lecturer is a lonely man and the student girl appeals to him as a woman, then deviating from righteousness can go very far. © Viktor Ulin 2009 — photo. © Viktor Ulin 2021 — cover design.
