The book that you hold in your hands largely sums up the author's many years of research. It conveys the atmosphere of past years, the flavor of the era. Behind each photograph, behind each document shown in the book, we see bright, exciting photographic images of time. We also see the civic position of the author, a real patriot, a man deeply in love with his land, with his profession. R. Berestenev informs the book, its architectonics, harmony and compositional passion - the story itself comes to our house from the pages of this amazing publication.
