Collected childhood memories of a rural Transbaikal boy. The narrative is sometimes in the first person, sometimes in the third person. Who cares? First of all, relatives, friends, acquaintances, fellow Transbaikal residents and all those who are interested in our Soviet past, which is revealed here through the prism of children's perception. And most importantly, it’s interesting to me, the author. Remember, systematize, save. The events cover the period from 1972 to 1986, from the birth of the author to the move of his family from the village of Kopun to the village of Shelopugino (Kopun childhood). Photos shown: photo of the author, photo from the personal archive, photo of Viktor Yuryevich Kargin (with his consent).
