“American Diary” is an authentic document from the thirties of the twentieth century. It describes the events of 1937-1938 far from home. It's a miracle that this old, battered diary survived. And now you and I are entering the time preserved in it and living it together with the participants in this narrative. After finishing the diary, you don’t want to part with its author, and relatives and friends talk about his further fate. The book was published with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.
