About the book: 1966 / "Hot Summer" is a story about our contemporaries. The difficult post-war year of 1947 is underway. In a Siberian city, the village of Stepnoy is being built at a large plant. Young builders - those who took Berlin and Prague, and those who were “not ready” for the war due to their age - are looking for the right path in life: in work, in friendship, in love. They don't want compromises. Characters are strengthened in the battle of views. Happiness is found in struggle.
