In the new issue of the historical and revolutionary almanac "Torch 1990" we continue to acquaint the reader with interesting evidence of history: memories, letters, diaries, archival documents, poems. And most importantly, we try to tell about people, albeit not always with big names, but who have left their mark on the ground. We would very much like, dear reader, that you plunge into the forgotten, erased past, feel the aroma of those eras, try to understand the high spiritual world and self-sacrifice of revolutionaries, their difficult destinies, ideas, accomplishments, mistakes... We think it is also useful to find out the opinions of those who stood "on the other side of the barricades" and whose statements were previously either unknown to us or completely rejected.
