IN SEARCH OF THE ETERNAL MAN

(Instead of a biography)

I've been looking for a genre that would fit the way I see the world. Besides, what's inside my eye, my ear ... I tried myself .... And chose the genre of human voices ... I look out and I listen to the streets. Outside the window. They are real people talk about the major events of their time - the war, the collapse of the socialist empire, Chernobyl, and together they leave in the word - the country's history, general history. The old and the newest. And everyone - the story of my little man's fate."
