As in the first book of the “Destination” trilogy, the author’s personal intonation gives the essentially historical narrative the character of a spiritual confession. The effect of transporting the reader to the era described is striking, impressive - the fifties, unknown to the current generation, become close, understandable, and important in understanding the concept of Motherland, extended in time. Poetic inclusions in the prose text and, in general, the poetic structure of the book “He Stands on the Road - Asks for Ways” are perceived as a striking characteristic feature of the fifties, in which both physicists and lyricists showed themselves fully through deeds and achievements.
