Continuation of the novel. Volume 2 of Book 2 covers the period from 1925 to 1927. Boris Aleshkin never managed to become a student at DSU, but his life is filled with a wide variety of events: participation in the investigation of the machinations of his former boss, responsible work in logging and rafting, a serious illness, a hunting adventure and much more. An eighteen-year-old boy can expect intense social activities, participation in conferences and plenums, becoming a party candidate, and at the same time the excitement and anxieties associated with the first serious feeling for a girl in his life. The author fascinatingly and in detail describes the life of Komsomol members of the 1920s.
