A private and honest look at the history of the memorable "times of stagnation" - this is how these memories can be characterized. And you can see in them an attempt to unite, interweave the life of one single family and a huge country. Pavel Vasiliev's memoirs are devoid of the pathos of denunciation or exclamation. The author is only a storyteller, he narrates as he saw, remembered, felt. It is more important for him that these stories, filled with humor and lyricism, are not boring. The main collective hero of all three cycles of memories is Moscow, a city in which there are so many stories, families, events, a city that is impossible not to love.
