Probably, the determining factor in writing my new book (short stories and diaries) was the huge interest of my Generation in the history of our Time. The 20th century is still an unread book. I really wanted to understand and remember everything that happened to us quite recently, in an Epoch that had almost disappeared, like a burnt-out Star. But the phantoms of the Past are still circling over our destinies... History had so many secrets, understatements, so many names and iconic personalities... So many fatal destinies, so much cruelty, unpredictability, joy and pain. Nothing should disappear from the ocean of human Memory! Civilization is preserved by People. Enjoy reading, see you again!
