Sovdetstvo. Shift Change

The new book by the famous Russian writer Yuri Polyakov, Sovdetstvo — is a unique opportunity to look at Moscow life in the distant 1968 from the perspective of a twelve-year-old Soviet boy, observant, well-read, sarcastic, yet sincerely awaiting the arrival of a bright communist future. The author virtuously reconstructs in the finest details that long-lost world, with its selflessness, sense of camaraderie, sincere belief in justice, goodness, and equality, despite encountering still some individual shortcomings. It is no coincidence that the new work has the subtitle "a book about the bright past." As always, the reader can expect a meeting with the unique style of Yuri Polyakov: precise, elegant, vivid, filled with subtle irony.
