The Last Pioneer

"The Last Pioneer" — is a warm, nostalgic, funny, and sometimes sad book about a boy named Dima and his Soviet childhood, which took place at the end of the 80s. Dima grows up in Siberia, in an oil town built on sand among bottomless swamps, and spends every summer in the Urals with his grandparents. Dima and his friends do not know that their carefree years of growing up coincide with the twilight of the Soviet Union, because childhood is always the happiest time. And this book is a proven way to transport yourself there for at least a few minutes.
