Generations will someday find out

The well-known Russian literary critic and publicist Elena Safronova wrote about the author of the collection: "Galina Alyaeva puts quite unambiguous moral meanings into her stories. She sincerely wants to 'sow the reasonable, the good, the eternal,' inheriting the great Russian realistic literature, within the context of which her best stories are placed. Alyaeva aspires to the traditions of Russian classic chroniclers - from Gleb Uspensky and Nikolai Leskov to the Soviet author Panteleimon Romanov." Now readers can get acquainted with Alyaeva the publicist. The collection includes articles written in different years, dedicated to the authors of the Silver Age. They cover well-known figures like Marina Tsvetaeva and Alexander Neverov, as well as those whose names are known to few - N. Wilde, N. Bronitskaya, and others.
