About the book: 2011 / Stanislav Lomakin’s favorites, in two volumes, include journalistic, literary, philosophical articles and stories written by him over 10 years. Some articles and stories were published in periodicals: magazines, scientific collections, newspapers. In them, the scientist and writer comprehends the past, the moral justification for unforgetfulness, the memory of acts committed by people who do not accept the fate imposed on them. They stoically resist circumstances and, despite failures, try to break established behavioral patterns, not deluded by the expectation of a completely successful outcome. Stanislav Lomakin is very interesting to read. His enormous erudition, unique erudition, memory, and variety of interests manifested in articles and stories are amazing. The aphoristic, philosophical, emotional nature of the articles and stories of the author of the book makes the reader think, rejoice, be indignant, worry, feel.
