About the book: 1977 / Vladimir Kochetov’s prose is interesting and instructive in that it captures the process of formation of today’s youth. It contains the first lessons of a collision with the world, with human kindness and early independence (the story “Nadezhda Stepanovna”), with love (the story “Lilies Over Your Head”), the complexity and drama of life (the story “Like Dunyushka has three thoughts ...”, story "Night Hunt") The main character of the story “Provincial” is 13-year-old Vanya Temin, passionately in love with Moscow, experiences dramatic events in his family and emerges from them morally stronger. In the story “Like Dunyushka has three thoughts ...” (a prize from the magazine “Youth” for 1974), Mitya Kosolapov, a third-year student of the philology department, during a folklore expedition on the banks of the Terek, defending the honor of his fellow students, encounters a drunken hooligan. The subsequent turn of events forces him to rethink a lot in life.
