There is not one thing in the texts of this book - untruth. From the first to the last word - as it was. Everything was experienced, changed, and suffered by the author, whose life was not ordinary: in 1950, at the age of nineteen, she was repressed for political reasons, in 1955 she was rehabilitated. Inna Alexandrova is the author of several books. Graduated from Kazan University. Philologist. She was a teacher, taught at a pedagogical institute, worked as an editor for more than thirty years. The proposed book is about human destinies full of suffering, about Stalinist captivity, about anti-Semitism and, despite this, about love. The book is called a jazz term because it is like swing — the soul of the author: the most intimate of what has been written has been collected.
