About the book: year / The book of poems and prose by Valery Bedenko presented to the reader has never been published, since this creative personality is not a member of the Union of Writers and created only for herself. So that the creative work of his whole life would not be in vain, everything he created was collected in one author’s collection called “Chimera”. We hope that the author’s rich life experience will interest the reader, since in this collection there are wisely noted sayings, as well as miniature sketches in the form of prose and poetry. Moreover, both poems with sharp, hooligan humor, and with the deepest melancholy and worry about the fate of Russia and its people. There are also songs written by the author, which at one time were played on the guitar in a narrow circle of his friends, in our former USSR.
