The novel “Russian Cross” is a “saga about a generation.” An intimate diary, covering a large-scale period of the late 20th - early 21st centuries, reveals the twists and turns of the destinies of four school friends in the context of historical events. For the first time, the author introduces the main characters of the novel in the book “Paradise Lost” - a lyrical narrative about their school youth. The second book of the novel is “The Unfrightened Generation” about growing up, choosing a path, difficult decisions and responsibility for them. Life will separate the matured heroes on opposite sides of the barricades, where each of them will defend their truth. It is this “unafraid generation,” whose youth was in the serene 70s, that will later make a real revolution and change the entire face of the country. But in order to come to a new picture of the world, they have to overcome many challenges.
