Just Don't Tell Dad! Diary of a New Russian. 20 Years Later.

The diary of our contemporary, full of wit and kindness, can be called «IT'S ALL ABOUT US». Elena Kolina's new book is a surprise in a brilliant wrapper: on the outside, wit and lightness, laughter, love, happiness and misfortunes, husbands... and wives, mothers and daughters, friends, family relationships, stories of marriages, but when you unwrap it—everything turns out to be serious—understanding, disappointments, hopes, losses, compassion. Do we all really accumulate skeletons in the closet over the years? Elena Kolina, with her signature self-irony, sincerity, and warmth, tells us: look closely: there are no adults. The voice of the diary's author, perceptive in her light perception of the world, masterfully conveys the feelings that we all experience, and the reader nods in understanding and smiles—yes, yes, I feel that way too.
