Description
Legends are made about Leningrad in the 1960s–1980s. It was a great time—the heyday of underground culture, the era of communal apartments and the notorious shortage, the book boom and the cult of sports. The country was swept up by rapid changes, and it was precisely Leningrad that became the center of these transformations.
The author of the edition “Leningrad Time,” rock musician and writer Vladimir Rekshan, recreates the former atmosphere of his city, remembering the most interesting details of Soviet youth and adulthood with a sense of awe and a fine humor. The pages of the book contain an entire era.
In this Leningrad, the streets are walked by Victor Tso—still unknown to the world. And in the “Saigon” café you can meet Joseph Brodsky or Sergey Dovlatov. Here, fashion traders sell jeans and scarce rock records, and in the “Philatelist” shop Chinese stamps are sold almost for nothing. Vladimir Rekshan shares memories of Leningrad where he was born and grew up. “It is there, and it’s already gone.” This book is about the disappearing city that became modern Saint Petersburg—about its details, oddities, and the heroes of its time.
