The book by Irina Nikolaevna Zorina is one of the authentic testimonies of the generation of the sixties about the fate of society and the country. Irina Nikolaevna Zorina clearly shows the hopes of the thaw and the loss of the deaf of the 1970s; analyzes the chance historically given to the generation by perestroika. In the gallery of faces — the best people of a bygone era: Yuri Karyakin, Yuri Lyubimov, Ales Adamovich and other iconic figures of politics (Yevgeny Primakov) and culture (Naum Korzhavin, Vladimir Vysotsky, Ernst Neizvestny).
