About the book: year / Several - namely, eight - stories about very young people, and about that unstable time when a person is just beginning to live. A boy and a girl who unexpectedly learn that they will become parents; a sister of mercy, suddenly realizing that there is not such a big difference between the terminally ill children, her charges, and herself; a girl playing alone in a snowy yard; a couple of hitchhikers getting into a strange Kamaz heading to the East... These and other sad, bright and, at times, scary stories in the collection of stories "Baba Yaga Behind Enemy Lines." Cover by the author.
