In this book, the famous intelligence officer Yevgeny Bereznyak (Major Vikhr), who turned 96 years old in 2010, tells details about his life for the first time. About his father’s strict upbringing and his boyish antics, how he first tasted the teacher’s bread and what he worked on for 80 years as a teacher, about work in the Dnepropetrovsk underground and the reconnaissance group “Voice” during the Great Patriotic War.
