In her work, the writer talks about the Far East, which even today, even for a sophisticated reader, is an unfamiliar mysterious distant province of modern Russia. The author, a native of the Far East, is not indifferent to the future of this territory, because her ancestors lived there. Everything changed in the 20th century: settlement by free peasants, Cossacks and exiled political convicts, revolution and emigration to neighboring China, a senseless Civil War, when brother turned against brother, post-war Germany and Japan.
