A book "Farewell with illusions" Vladimir Познер wrote twenty one year ago. Wrote in English. In the USA she twelve weeks stuck to in the list of the best sellers of newspaper New York Times. Познер supposed that at once would translate the book into Russian, but, as he talked: "Too difficult she was given to me, I will wait" hardly. Waited eighteen years - translation was completed in 2008. Three years he reflected above that, how in a manuscript these past years to reflect. And only now, in opinion of author, time to publish the Russian variant of book "Farewell with illusions" came.
