"Black Poplar" is the final book of the trilogy of Alexei Cherkasov and Polina Moskvitina "Tales of the Taiga People." An entire century has passed since the events described in the first novel of the Hop trilogy. Residents of the Siberian village of Belaya Elan - the descendants of the heroes of the first novels - had to live in difficult times: the first years of the formation of Soviet power, the Great Patriotic War, the harsh post-war years... But contrary to any storms, people's lives go on as usual, there is a place in it for love, hatred, devotion, and betrayal. "Life, like the spring weather, will either warm or freeze."
