This is a book about the active creative role of the working class—owners in spirit, interested in tomorrow for their homeland. The conflict between the director of a textile combine, the communist Vlasov, and the head of the main administration, Tolstyakov, is placed at the foundation of the plot of the first novel.
The second novel, “Beyond the Moskva River” by V. Tevekyelyan, covers a period in the life of our society filled with major events (1962–1965). The restructuring of industry’s work on a new basis leads to the breaking of old habits and skills, creating new conflicts and clashes of characters.
Alongside remarkable people already familiar to the reader from the first book—such as Alexey Fyodorovich Vlasov, Sergey Poletov, Leonid, Milochka—the novel introduces new characters, including businesspeople who love “beautiful” life.
Events in the novel develop on a sharp plot foundation, and in the course of struggle the characters of the protagonists are revealed.
“Beyond the Moskva River” is a book about our contemporaries.
