This is a book about the most charming place in the world and about the long-term life of our country, which to some extent determined the lives of four friends - Mishka-Sack, Timka, Seryoga and the narrator. Or maybe this is a book about the lives of four friends, which to some extent determined the life of our country. Everything in this book is true, and everything is fantasy. “Everything that we love, that we believe in, that we remember and keep, is all just our imagination. But if we raise our eyes upward and honestly repeat the fantasies in which we believe, and then remember to say “Lord, make it so,” then all our fantasies will definitely become reality. Unless, of course, you really want only goodness and justice and do not seek out some benefit for yourself. And now this is very difficult. Of all the people who could do this, I know only Sack, but even with him everything very often went wrong.”
