A citizen of my acquaintance
0 00 One evening, early in March 1956, I was in my Moscow flat packing before leaving on holiday to Stockholm the following morning when the phone rang. 02 br
00 It was Kostya Orlov, a young Soviet citizen of my acquaintance, whose urgent voice I heard saying: "I've got to see you before you go." 02 br
02 br
00 I was reluctant, as it was getting late and I had to leave early for a break I was more than ready for. 02 br
02 br
00 For 10 days in February, Moscow's few Western correspondents had been covering the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party, where "the cult of personality", a veiled reference to Stalin, was repeatedly denounced. 02 br
02 br

00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 br
00 My question is on the words ' a young Soviet citizen of my acquaintance'. I would write ' a yound Soviet citizen known to me' or some similar words. Would you write the original words in this context? 02 br
