What should you do if you accidentally find out that your husband is cheating on you? What role do comrades and associates play in the new business? How to resist an outraged public? What dangers are fraught with the search for eternal youth? And how to marry a sex symbol? “Here, I remember, I’m lying on the beach in Yalta, I’m twenty-three, and there are military men around me. – Elvira Vikentievna closed her eyes at these words. Apparently she remembered how good it is to be young, beautiful and lying on the beach. Or maybe she remembered some particularly outstanding military man. – Where was I at that time? – Shura asked. Of course, she didn’t want to spoil her mother’s mood, but from the shadow that ran across Elvira Vikentievna’s beautiful face, she realized that this was exactly what she had done with her question. - As where? – Elvira Vikentievna thought for a second. I even tried to frown in concentration, but my immaculate forehead, stuffed with Botox and Restylane, did not budge. - I remembered! Your mother-in-law, your grandmother, came and took you to her place. Well, to Siberia! – From Yalta to Siberia? – Shura gasped. – Why from Yalta? – Elvira Vikentievna was surprised. - From Leningrad. It was I who went to Yalta later.”
