You will learn about this and much more by reading the amazing story of the pre -war writer Alexander Kozachinsky “Green Van”.

In addition to the title story, the collection included rarely published stories of the writer and the satirical vaudeville “Mighty Means”, published only once in 1939 in the literary almanac “Year of the XXII”
