Galina Vrublevskaya's new collection opens with autobiographical prose. The story "Goodbye, Mailbox" published for the first time! takes the reader beyond the fence of a secret research institute of “pre-perestroika” times. The author not only talks about engineering everyday life, discoveries and conferences, but also vividly describes the internal life of the team. The story contains many entertaining episodes: from the “prank” of a scarce bathrobe to office romances in the scenery of a measuring stand. The book also includes romantic short stories and essays about love and the meaning of life.
