An autobiography is not literature, but a tool with which you can peer into the events of your own life and accept them. This book does not pretend to be anything other than the story of a woman who, from childhood, was too lazy to pretend.

"I attribute the fanaticism of frankness not to personal merits, but to the fact that I belong to the first generation born without Stalin. I hope that this book is not only about me, but also about the time; a kind of striptease against the backdrop of the second half of the twentieth century ."-Maria Arbatova.
