<strong>AllatRa</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Anastasia</strong> <strong>Novykh</strong><br />

English transcription of this word) means a cube. And if we take into account that the<br />

cube placed on its vertex (or with a marked vertex) among the peoples of the world since<br />

ancient times has been considered as an important spiritual symbol which indicates the<br />
