Evgeniy Babushkin is a pleasure to read, amusing and funny! Much more pleasant than experiencing what he writes about. The heroes of the book are outwardly simple people: brave Soviet soldiers, brave Israeli psychiatrists, cheerful and gloomy patients. But each one has its own zest, and this is what the author is very good at picking out and chewing on. The poetic revelations of the characters allow you to look into the very depths of their souls. The poems are permeated with subtle irony and humor; the charge of optimism from E. Babushkina imperceptibly becomes yours!
