About the book: 2013 / Nostalgic, full of adventure and incredibly funny novel about our common past. This book is for those who were born and raised in the USSR , as well as for those who have not seen those times, but really want to know how life really was in the country then. Time and place of action: the mid-eighties, one of the union republics. Borjomi water, the Berezka currency store, scarce imported boots accidentally “thrown away” in the general store, and restaurants that you can get into without waiting in line only if you know someone, trips to the collective farm by the entire workforce... In general, everything that we and we would be glad to forget, but we remember with such pleasure, gathered over a glass of tea.
