The book includes stories set in the second half of the 20th century, primarily during the Soviet era, which is when many of the characters grew up. The characters are mostly children and teenagers, but they live alongside people of other generations, whose fates are also revealed to the reader. Some of the children and teenagers grow up before the reader's eyes: the author sometimes sketches out their life paths in important ways, and their childhoods often echo those of subsequent generations. It's important to the author to draw the reader's attention to these echoes, so he offers a touch of philosophy in summing up the stories.
The stories are aimed at readers of all ages and will appeal to both the older generation, who will be reminded of their childhood and youth, and the younger generation, as they touch on questions, feelings, and themes considered timeless. The younger generation will learn about the lives of their grandparents, mothers and fathers, when they were just like them now.
