Я люблю, и мне некогда! Истории из семейного архива

This book is based on materials from the family archive — memoirs, diaries, letters, photographs, as well as documents from the archives of the NKVD-KGB-FSB, which the authors managed to get acquainted with only in 1998-2000. The result is a story about many, many people connected by family, professional and friendly ties. And more broadly - a story about the twentieth century, about how it affected specific human destinies, as seen not from the heights of historical science, but in direct collision with its large and small events. The post-revolutionary years and the romance of dreams of a new society, the Great Terror and World War II, the “thaw” and the development of virgin lands - all this is somehow experienced by the heroes of the book, and now appears before the reader in details and details that can so easily be erased by time and leave forever.
