About the book: year / Mark Kazarnovsky’s book is dedicated to the Revolution of 1917. The author shows how his heroes, boys from the Pale of Settlement, rushed into the ocean of freedom called Russia. They wanted freedom. From petty religious tutelage. They wanted to see for themselves, create, and - most importantly - breathe this air of freedom, rise into the sky, where there are no boundaries. But little by little they began to realize - what next? And will there be light at the end of the tunnel? The story “One Day of a Regional Committee Secretary” stands somewhat apart. But she, ultimately, is about the same thing. About life, about the multinational composition of the Soviet people and, of course, about love, because, in the end, only love wins. The stories are easy to read, you, dear reader, will understand that much, very much in the stories is based not only on the author’s imagination.
