About the book: 2008 / The story "Republic of Shkid", written by L. Panteleev in 1926 in collaboration with his friend and classmate G. Belykh, brought young authors resounding popularity. The main theme of the story - the relationship between educators and freedom-loving students - “defective kids” who are capable of causing trouble at any moment, is reliably conveyed in a feature film shot in 1966 by director G. Poloka. The book also includes “Shkid Stories”, continuing the theme of the “Republic of Shkid”, the writer’s early prose and stories about children.
