The new book by the famous writer, historian, and publicist Yakov Gordin is a chronicle of two experiments, with fate and memory. In the 1950s, an intelligent young man, well-read in 'brutal' literature - F. Nietzsche, J. London, G. d'Annunzio, and others, voluntarily enlists after school to exchange the world of books for the real and extremely harsh world. On the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, in the Mongolian steppes, in the Siberian taiga, refined culture clashes with the harsh military life that the hero must adapt to. Many years later, Yakov Gordin rereads his letters from the army - and discovers that he remembers those years and events completely differently. Who knows the truth - the author of today or the young man with 'Napoleonic plans' back then? In his memoirs, Yakov Gordin tries to answer this and other questions related to historical accuracy and our attitude towards the past.
