The sincere story of a man who, despite the huge number of difficulties and problems in our society, remained a true patriot of the Motherland, worked honestly both in Soviet times, and during perestroika, and after, not afraid to express his opinion, even if... I had to suffer for this. The book will be of interest to those interested in the history of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods; it very accurately describes the atmosphere of that time. As the author himself says, “... the main thing I took away from life is people who, either with me or without me, want to change the real and cruel world for the better. I believe that you and I can do this if we join forces in the name of good and bright!”
