New times and old heroes. Notes of the patriot

S.Yu. Rybas-writer-historian, public figure, author of biographies, as well as historical novels about the Civil War, the story “Mirror for the Hero” and many others. The book that you hold in your hands was created on the basis of diary entries. These are thoughts about Russia and its history, about time and power. The author writes: “Having crossed the line of the seventy years and saying goodbye to illusions, I understand that he was a witness and participant in events that may be of interest to those who wanted to understand the bizarre and tragic situations of the Soviet-Russian turning point. Having sorted out the records, I physically feel the movement of the chronos - the ancient Greek deity of time, which inexorably absorbs us all. I see this chronos, I am horrified by the speed of his movement and I want to somehow resist him. This is the resistance of the weak and doomed, but still resistance. ”
