About the book: year / "This is a socio-psychological deconstruction of hit-and-miss fantasy in the form of a science-fiction regional saga. "Children of the Gray Wind" would be more correctly called "Daughters" gray wind,” because it was the three leaders of the earthly resistance who organized and completed all the work. And where men could have crumbled in despair, run away or died heroically, women remained on their feet and did what they thought was necessary. Moreover, these are St. Petersburg, Leningrad residents. Actually, the entire background of this city and these people plays - after the Decembrists, after the Revolutions, after the Blockade, after everything that happened in the 20th century." Russell D. Jones
