Communal apartments, queues, kerosene shops, lyrics of Vysotsky on tape and neighbors who knew more about you than you did yourself. Sounds like frames from an old movie? And that's exactly how an entire country lived.

This book is a unique... collection of authentic stories from Muscovites who lived through the Soviet era. There is no fiction here: only memories, smells, sounds, and details that cannot be invented. How to accommodate four generations in 16 meters? How did they share a bath with neighbors and why did everyone have their own basin? What did the courtyards of Moscow sound like in the 40s, 60s, and 80s?

The recollections of twenty-one authors come together to create an amazing mosaic: funny stories, tragic pages, the warmth of neighborly support.

This book will make you smile, cry a little, and most importantly - feel what it means to live in a big country as one big family.
