Dear reader! You are holding in your hands a kind of essay-reflection on the specific life of a woman. Kravchenko G.N. - Honored Worker of the Komi Republic - outlined some, perhaps not very refined thoughts, judgments and conclusions about her life. This is a confession about how a particular human life fell into the crevice between two historical eras, when one era ended and the other had not yet begun. And we don’t know how many such lives flew into this abyss. Galina Nikolaevna dedicated her creative work to her beloved sons who passed away early, with whose departure her family thread was broken. The eldest son, Gen, died at the age of 20 in Afghanistan, and the youngest, Serezha, died at the age of 33 due to a medical error. The author expresses gratitude to Chetverikova L.V., Terebikhina D.S., Shevelev N.V. for your help. Thanks to their support, this work was published. The publishing layout was saved in PDF A4 format.
