About the book: 1966 / In the northern part of the Kostroma region, where a piece of the European taiga still remains, from where cold and mysterious forest rivers flow into the Volga, there live silent, few reserved, tall, strong Russian people. Severe in appearance, they know how to work, love, fight for their happiness, know how to maintain honor, loyalty, and friendship. Almost all of L. Vorobyov’s stories are dedicated to these people with sympathetic, generous hearts, their lives, and hard work..
