The essays were written in Soviet times. They are about the Motherland, about its expanses, history, people, difficulties and contradictions of that time. It is impossible to write about this now as it was written then - the country has collapsed. On its ruins, people writhe and die out in market pain. The results of labor and the dignity of many generations are forgotten. But the fight goes on. And memory becomes a weapon. Let it awaken in the hearts of people the unforgettable image of our great Motherland.
