Come Out to Play! A Journey Through the Yards of Our Childhood

The author wrote this book before the trend of nostalgia for the Soviet-Post-Soviet past emerged in society and television series such as «The Word of a Guy», «The Wild Ones», etc., began to be released one after another. Unlike the series, this captivating book lacks blood and cruelty; instead, it contains everything that has completely disappeared from the lives of modern children: slang words, the game of «inserts», matches and small knives, yard skirmishes, petty thefts and trading in junk, exploring attics and basements, fearless rafting down the river, hitching rides on freight trains, and other «on the edge» entertainments. Who will find this book interesting to read? Those whose childhood took place in the 80s and 90s, who will see themselves in the characters, their teenage children, who will understand a lot about their parents. And, of course, people from even older generations, who will be surprised at how little they knew about their own children.
