Memories from childhood live with us all our lives, but, unfortunately, they go away with us. In this collection of stories, I wanted to preserve some of them so that I could immerse myself in that time, in those sensations again and again. To remember, and leave a memory for the future generation, about our parents, our entire wonderful family, about how we lived in the 60s and 70s. Perhaps these memories will resonate with people unfamiliar with our family; everyone probably had similar moments and experiences in childhood. The collection of stories was created with the participation and support of my daughter Maria, sister Nina and childhood friend Svetlana Ilyashenko.
