Aндрей Ремнев was born in Yakhroma town, in the vicinity of Moscow. "It is situated on high hills, from where broad Brueghelian vistas are open.
The uneven terrain with significant differences of high and low; a canal between the Moskva river and the Volga; small rivers, woods and villages; a nearby ancient town of Dmitrov, which is equal to Moscow in age; ships cruising the canal and trains outdistancing them - all this I saw from my window since my early years.
