Description

One might say this is the story of one group of friends, or one might say it is the story of an entire generation. One might say that this generation grew up during the era of the first thaw, or one might say that it was formed in the era of the first KVN, the very one that was shut down together with the thaw in 1970. How it all happened, what everyday intersections brought the author of the book together with Yuliy and Mikhail Gusman, Alexander Maslyakov and Marat Gyulbekyan, Irina Rodnina and Yuri Ovchinnikov, Elena Proklova and Andrey Nalich, Andrei Voznesensky and Andrei Makarevich—this is the honest account of a participant in all the events. Well, not all of them. Well, not entirely honest. So what? After all, the dazzling tall tales and cheerful legends of the recent past are just as much a cultural heritage as the myths of Ancient Greece. Only to us they are even dearer.
