The new book by the famous Russian poet Tatyana Volskaya puts the reader face to face with the maximum degree of pain, compassion, the undying longing of an exile for his country, an unjust war that forced him to lose everything that was dear and loved. These are poems with an open visor, which makes them defenseless, but at the same time facilitates access to the hearts of those who are capable of love and empathy. Tatyana has more and more such readers, and this gives hope (Irina Evsa).
