About the book: 1973 / Mikhail Svetlov became legendary during his lifetime - not only as a poet who wrote "Grenada" and " Kakhovka", but also as a person: his jokes and aphorisms were passed on from mouth to mouth. They told each other about their meetings with him and his actions. He had many friends - old and young. Among them were people of various professions - writers and artists, actors and military personnel. Svetlov always lived the same life with his country, sharing joy and sorrow with it. The pages of memoirs about him convey to the reader the breath of the civil war, the unforgettable twenties, the anxieties of the days of the Patriotic War, the echoes of the post-war era. The collection “Do you remember, comrade...” is a collective portrait of a wonderful poet and person of our time. This portrait was created by his friends and comrades.
