Aron Isaevich Erlich (1896-1963, Moscow) - Russian journalist, writer, screenwriter. The novels "Life Ahead" and "Young People" tell about the youth of the second half of the 1950s. About such youth as the author would like (or would not like - in the case of negative characters), but which has never happened, neither then nor now. "Young people" are somewhat reminiscent of the film "Hipsters," only this is a look from another side, official at that time.
