The story “The Orenburg Shawl” by Anatoly Sanzharovsky, published by the publishing house “Khudozhestvennaya Literatura” in 2012, is one of the best works of modern Russian realistic prose, “quality literature”. The Orenburg shawl, listed in the Guinness Book of Records in 2013, is Russian pride. The Orenburg scarf, which retains the warmth of the hands of talented craftswomen, is a calling card, a real symbol of the Orenburg region. Orenburg shawls, unique in beauty and pattern, are an integral part of the history of Russian culture, rituals and traditions. In the story, the famous down jacket Anna Fedorovna Blinova from the village of Zheltogo - an original, persistent, integral nature - simply and colorfully talks about her difficult fate, about the fate of the scarf. The classic of Russian literature Viktor Astafiev spoke about “The Orenburg Shawl”: “The story is good... I read it with great pleasure, a lot was new and new to me.”
