I lived during the Soviets. Diaries: Vladimir Bushin

The outstanding publicist of our time, as he is often called, the last knight of the Soviet era – the soldier of the Great Patriotic War Vladimir Sergeyevich Bushin went a military path from Kaluga to Koenigsberg. Then there was Manchuria, a war with Japan … And in peacetime, in literature, he always remained on the forefront. Even at the front, twenty -year -olds, he began to keep a diary. Since then, often repeating Tyutchev’s “Blessed, who visited this world in its minutes is fatal,” at different periods of his life he trusted himself with diary notes, not hiding anything or embellishing anything, remaining a man of honor in any fractures that did not change his beliefs.
In the book of his diaries, Vladimir Bushin is unexpected and recognizable, ironic and truthful. It covers almost seven decades, starting from wartime today, and reveals the social atmosphere of several eras, the events of the author’s creative and personal life.
