About the book: 1964 / The Chukotka saga began to take shape around the fires of the Neolithic, under the stars of the first days of creation. Its ending could have been different - all it takes is a glance at the map. Ten hours of standard time lay between Moscow and Uelen. But between Alaska and Chukotka the difference is a whole day. It's Sunday here, and Monday in Alaska. This difficult day lingered there for a long time. It could have overwhelmed Chukotka, but the volleys of October thundered over the world. The ending of the saga now sounds on a bright and high note and develops into the beginning of a new song. The words of this song are well known to us, the main thing in them is communism. Yuri Rytkheu is the singer of this new Chukotka. He was born and raised in Uelen. After graduating from high school, as a gifted young man, he was sent to Leningrad, to the university.
