The Most Russian Person
The generation that matured in the thirties of the last century fell on unprecedented ups and upheavals. All of them passed through the heart of Ivan Nikiforovich Medyanik. New cities are associated with his name: Ozersk in the Urals and Lermontov in the Caucasus. Whoever he has not been in his life: a blacksmith, tinker, driver, tractor driver, tankman, pilot, battalion commander, and senior manager who performed important tasks of the government. When many documents were declassified today, it became known that I.N. Medyanik is involved in those who created the country's nuclear shield. “The Most Russian Person” is one of the documentary stories of V. A. Shatakishvili, dedicated to famous people, participants and creators of history, people of amazing fate, whose meetings gave him life. Shatakishvili is objective and at the same time delicate, he speaks with enthusiasm and interest. His work is full of wisdom and joy, in a simple and an engaging way it conveys to the reader the impressions of the author and with them – the realities of the old, already unfamiliar life.
Пламя и тень / Flame and shadow
Poems of the Pulitzer Prize winner, American poetess Sara Tisdale (1884–1933) began to be translated into Russian only at the beginning of the XXI century. This book includes translations of all the poems from her poetry collection «Flame and Shadow», released in 1920, and also several poems from other books. Sara Tisdale's poetry attracts by its simplicity, depth of thought, sincerity, openness, passionate and romantic plot. I hope that the readers, who have not yet been familiar with the subtle lyrics of this wonderful author, will find here many frank and tender words consonant with their emotions and world perception. Enjoy reading!
Very bad English / Очень плохой English
The novel is structured in a way that each chapter breaks one of prevailing stereotypes that seem to be enduring… The story revolves around an unusual letter received by one of twin sisters. Like a trigger, this letter launches a mechanism of fastpaced reality so stable that only a desperate adventurer could move it to action… Роман выстроен таким образом, что в каждой главе автор ломает один из сложившихся стереотипов, которые вроде бы незыблемы. История закручивается вокруг необычного письма, которое получила одна из сестёр-близнецов. Письмо, как спусковой крючок, приводит в действие механизм быстро меняющейся действительности, повседневности, которая так устоялась, что, казалось бы, раскачать её по силам только самому отчаянному авантюристу…

Calming the Storm
This book represents an author’s collection. Touching, sad, and faith-filled poetry will help the readers to think deep over eternal, joyful, and beautiful matters.
