The book contains astonishing documents - youthful diaries describing the events of 1915-1917 in Penza, the very fact of preservation of which is amazing and front diaries, miraculously survived, as well as memories of the most difficult test, which fell to the share of a sincere, honest, principled and very beautiful man - serving a ten-year term in the Gulag. Talented writer Daniel Fibich created a unique picture of the era through the eyes of an eyewitness, who was destined to live in the most difficult, critical and tragic years of our country's history. He enthusiastically embraced the revolution, worked as a correspondent for Izvestia, and authored short stories, essays and novels. He volunteered at the front, where he was a correspondent on the front lines of the Western and North-Western Fronts. In June 1943, he was arrested on the denunciation of a fellow soldier and sentenced to a term of 10 years, which was fully served. He did not break down, achieved rehabilitation and continued to work for the rest of his life. Since his grammar school years, he dreamed not just of becoming a writer, but of creating something that would remain after him. "I would like to write such a book, which would have outlived me, would be the result of a whole life." This book is in front of you.
