Glory

The novel “Glory” immerses the reader in the world, life, and work of the postwar generation—the generation of the author’s parents. Postwar childhood and youth during the Thaw period, Komsomol vouchers sent people to the Virgin Lands, nuclear tests on the New Earth, the construction sites of the North and Siberia, the Brezhnev era and the nineties—everything is told without gloss or pathos: honestly, with self-irony. We see an image of the era without ideological glasses and without value judgments—life of an ordinary Soviet person, exactly as it really was.
