A new book by Andrei Merkin, who fell in love with many football fans after the release of his enchanting debut “Simply Wasy and Spartak,” which became a cult book for many. “Notes of a Forester” is not only a truthful presentation of the realities of the Soviet era. It is also a reminder everyone that without a healthy sense of humor, football and “Spartak” there is nowhere in our lives. “I devoured the author’s first book in one sitting and thought that it couldn’t be better, but unlike the first, there are no more stories here! only about football, but also about our life.”Egor Titov, six-time Russian football champion as part of the Moscow Spartak, the best football player in Russia in 1998 and 2000
