(…)
OK, MY NAME IS Myrsini Panayotou. I was born in Paris on the 25th of July, 1949. I live at 10 Sinopis Street, by myself. My father doesn’t do anything, my mother is dead. During the dictatorship I took part in the resistance, first of all in the Rigas Pherraios group. Leaflets and other printed matter. Later on I was in various covert groups, whose names I may not reveal. At present no, I am not a member of any group. My family, my father that is, is a socialist, or so he says. I have no idea how I first came to join the Left. I suppose because of my first boyfriend, Paul. I have been harassed by the Security Police and continue to be harassed to this day. Intended profession I have none, I may give more time to dancing, though the years have passed me by. I have read a great many books, but very few specifically related to Marxism. Only the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, the Communist Manifesto, State and Revolution and five or six shorter books. As for my strengths and weaknesses I can make no comment. So when all’s said and done, sometimes I feel like a god, and sometimes the merest creature.
(translated by Roderick Beaton)
