About the book: 2021 / The book is a collection of memoir stories written from the perspective of a child and taking the reader to the 1960s. The author's style, laconic and succinct, follows the traditions of Leningrad short prose. For a wide readership. Elena Andreeva: “Childhood is not a “joyful and bright time.” This is a difficult, intense part of life, when the world is unknown, there is no experience and everything raises questions. When suddenly you begin to be afraid of death, the loss of parents, when, having done something wrong , you are tormented by the fear of exposure, when all the feelings are very acute: envy, injustice, pain, fear, resentment - and all this for the first time, for the first time.…"
