Farewell to the empire

Have you ever wanted to stop the rapid run of time and look into the past? The author of the book invites his readers to make such a journey and become a participant in events that forever changed our usual life.
The book includes a story about the post -war generation and service at the Baikonur cosmodrome, as well as materials related to the history of the Life Guards of the Semenovsky regiment, which gave the historical name to one of the most interesting corners of old St. Petersburg - the Semenians.
Many pages of the narrative are imbued with thin lyrics, this is a bizarre mosaic from preserved and lost addresses, prints of various human destinies, happy and terribly broken by the shocks of the past XX century.
