Silver coat of arms

The silver coat of arms, this distinctive sign of students of the pre-revolutionary boys' gymnasium, was worn by boys on their uniform caps.
The hero of the story is unfairly expelled from the gymnasium and deprived of a precious insignia. The carefree, prank-filled student everyday life is replaced by a completely different life: vagrancy, job searches, new friends and enemies - everything that a street in a colorful multinational southern city of the late 19th century represents.
The autobiographical story "Silver Coat of Arms" was written by K. I. Chukovsky in 1938.
For middle school age.
