Continuity of generations. Memories of my father and the most interesting moments of my life. His father is a military intelligence officer and diplomat, a volunteer for a Finnish company who worked in England and Germany and ended his diplomatic career after being extradited to Penkovsky. The son is a space technology engineer and foreign trade worker; as a child, he lived for more than 4 years in a boarding school of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, where he met his future wife. According to reviews from the foreign press, he is the first Soviet businessman to work in the field of providing commercial services for the use of domestic space technology. He worked for almost 4 years at the Trade Representation of the USSR in Prague and for almost 20 years he was the director and managing director of a company in Germany, including during the transition from the USSR to Russia.
