Our childhood was coming to an end along with the Soviet Union—and it was truly a special era. Our children will be curious to look back at that time and learn how their parents lived, studied, and spent their vacations when they were the same age.
And for us, it will be a pleasure to return in memory to the Pioneer necktie, to school and home stories, to first love, and to our closest friends. This book is about our childhood and growing up, and about a unique time in the country’s history.
