About the book: 1967 / In the story "The First Ministerial" the writer recalls the pre-revolutionary years, adolescence and youth of that generation, the best representatives of which in 1917 ( and others even before that) linked their fate with the fate of the working people, with the October Revolution. Young men who are just beginning to understand that they cannot live like this, who enter into their first clashes with the authorities, are portrayed convincingly and reliably.
