Three stories about Vasya Kurolesov

"Detective" Tales of Vasya Kurolesov Yuri Koval (1938-1995) wrote for about twenty years - "The Adventures of Vasya Kurolesov" were published in 1971, and the last of the written books of the cycle, "Proprom of Citizen Loshakova", in 1989. We took the word "detective" in quotation marks: although the plot here is really sharp and the author (as you learn from the textbook comments) used the experience of his father, who has served on a criminal wanted list for many years, still a trilogy about Kurolesov - primarily a monument of Russian literature of the 20th century and a brilliant description of the Moscow and Moscow Region of the 1960-1980s. The realities of the life of the heroes of the book are not very understandable to the modern teenager, so the book was commented by famous scientists, two professors of Russian philology - Oleg Lexmanov (NIU HSE, author of biographies Osip Mandelstam, Sergey Yesenin, numerous studies on the history of Russian literature) and Roman Leibov from the University of Tartu (Estonia).
