Autobiographical pages "On Yelninskaya Zemlya" by M.V. Isakovsky cover the period from the poet's childhood to the 1920s. Talking about his work on the book, M. Isakovsky notes:... "even if I wrote mainly for myself, I still could not help but write about the time to which my notes belong, could not pass by those people whom I knew, could not ignore everything that happened then around me. In a word, it turned out that I was writing not only my purely personal autobiography, but to a certain extent the biography of time, the biography of many other people from whose midst I came out myself."
