Konkordia Terentievna Landau-Drobantseva, the wife of the brilliant physicist Lev Landau, began writing her memoirs after her husband's death in 1968 and worked on them for more than ten years ... It turned out to be three solid volumes. Bound, supplemented with photographic documents, they circulated in the form of samizdat among physicists for some time, but soon almost all copies were destroyed by academicians and their wives, who were sanctimoniously indignant at this frank text, shocking details of the personal life of the great minds of the USSR and impartial assessments " untouchables." But "manuscripts do not burn," and the appearance of Kora Landau's memoirs in the form of a book is another confirmation of this.
“I wrote these memoirs only to myself, without the slightest hope of publication. In order to unravel the most complicated tangle of my life, I had to get into the obscene little things of everyday life, into the intimate aspects of human life, purely hidden from prying eyes, sometimes concealing so much charm, but also abominations too. I wrote only the truth, the only truth…” Kora Landau-Drobantseva.
