About the book: 1983 / The story that gives the title to the entire book tells about exciting, dramatic moments in the formation and development of domestic technology, about Petrograd engineers and workers, about sensational international scientific and technical competition announced on the initiative of V.I. Lenin. The story is about a difficult moral choice, about how difficult it can be to develop your own, the only correct civic position. This theme is organically developed in the book by artistic journalism dedicated to the affairs and concerns of contemporaries.
