This work is the product of many years of the writer Sergey Golitsyn, one of the representatives of the famous princely Golitsyn family. The astonishing memory of Sergey Golitsyn brings hundreds of people’s names back from nothingness—people in one way or another connected to the ancient clan.
The incomplete geography of the “Notes” paints a picture of the terrible life of Moscow in the second half of the 1920s and the outburst of Stalin’s repressions of the 1930s.
At the same time, the writer recreates a captivating panorama of Russia, whose people deserve to be worshiped.
