Стена упала! Mauerfall! Глазами свидетелей

Journalist Mikhail Gorbachev, host of the “Arrived” program on the Ekho Moskvy radio, witness and participant in the events described in the book, author of best-selling books on the history of motorsport in the USSR and driving a car, talks about how everything was on the threshold of the 1990s. This book describes the events that took place shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and, of course, after it fell. Mauerfall is how it sounds in German. The fall of the Wall changed the world, at least back then everyone hoped it would be free. Everything that you have to read is documented, historically accurate and without any special literary delights. This is a completely truthful and moderately emotional story of the author, an eyewitness of the events, and his by no means fictional friends and acquaintances. That is, the case when, contrary to the common phrase that precedes many books, we can safely say: "There are no coincidences here, and all the characters are real people." The book consists of many incredible stories, intertwined in the most intricate way and recreating a picture of events from the inside, with multi-layered details that have never been mentioned in the media. The stories of ordinary people - Russians and Germans - will immerse you in the maelstrom of events of the late 1980s - early 1990s. But the book is not only about that. The story about the best group in the USSR "Sounds of Mu" will probably surprise rock fans and remind you who was its creator. A separate section is a continuation, or rather a development of the topic "Racing in the USSR", only now the story will be about racing in the conditions of the post-Soviet space, when the USSR had already collapsed. The book ends with a very important material about the latest secrets of sports car driving - the author's favorite topic.
