The second fence also began near the Vosnesensky Lane. It started at the first fence and went further, also turning at an angle and separating the house from the Vosnesensky Prospect. It passed the gate, and finally ran into the wall of the house on the side that faced Vosnesensky Prospect. In this manner the second fence covered the main entrance of the upper floor of the house, as well as the gate and the wicket. This second fence had two gates--one facing the Vosnesensky Lane, the second right opposite them, in the opposite side of the fence, close to the gate of the house. Both gates were shut from the inside of the fence. There was only the gate which was near to the door of the house at the time we began to perform guard duty. At that time the gates that faced Vosnesensky Lane did not yet exist. They were built when we were there, as it was found that automobiles had much difficulty in leaving through the first entrance on account of a steep hill. That was the reason why the gates facing the Vosnesensky Lane were constructed. The motor cars entered through both gates, but they left only through the gate facing the Vosnesensky Lane. The fence which was near the gate, and was built before our arrival, had a wicket with a little window. On both angles of the exterior fence sentry boxes were constructed. Post number four was situated outside of the outer fence by the wicket of the gates which were constructed at first. Post number five was situated by the sentry box, near to those gates, in a way that the sentry might observe the whole Vosnesensky Prospect. Post number six was situated at the other sentry box, which was outside of the fence at the intersection of Vosnesensky Lane and Vosnesensky Prospect, just by the chapel. Post number seven was situated by the old sentry box in the outer yard, between the walls of the house and the first fence. Post number eight was in the garden. The sentry had to walk around the whole garden. Post number nine was on the terrace, where a machine gun was mounted. Post number ten was situated in a room of the lower floor. At the time when we arrived at Ipatieff’s house there were altogether ten posts. We were transferred to Popoff’s house at our own request. The Sissert workmen were especially insistent upon it. Their houses were far from town, so they were visited by their wives. At the same time, as strangers were not allowed at Ipatieff’s house, the wives could not stop there. For this particular reason we were all transferred to Popoff’s house.
