This collection can also be entitled “In Search of Happiness.” After all, the heroes of the stories, one way or another, are looking for happiness in life, as they understand it. They search and do not find. Why? Yes, because they are simple Russian people, not lumpen, not drunkards, but at the same time, not cool, not successful, not influential. But it has always been difficult for ordinary people in Russia, no matter what it was: Tsarist, Soviet or current. How can one not envy the passionate national people. They can spit on this state and happily live in the interests of their families and clans. Russian people have a different genetic code that has developed over centuries. Gradually, independently of him, a duty hangs over him: if only his native country could live. He is forced to take it into account, willingly or unwillingly, although without any hope of reciprocity on the part of the state. Maybe that’s why Russia is strong, despite everything, and the ordinary Russian person, as a rule, lives an unhappy and difficult life. story story story story story story story story story story story
