A city written from memory

"The city written in memory" - a novel-investigation, where St. Petersburg becomes a city of memory - personal, family, historical. Elena Chizhova reconstructs the fascinating history of her family. Count's maid, stove master, brilliant dressmaker, soldier, chief engineer, the owner of a manufactory and a half-blood girl who "trawls novels" yard friends in the attic - four generations, keeping the memory of the events of the twentieth century, fell to the share of Leningraders: the Civil War, repression in the 1930s, the blockade, evacuation, hard postwar time.
"Kilometers thirty kilometers before the final station, my mother got off the train... She reached Leningrad on a hitchhiking truck. Alone. At home, on the 1st Krasnoarmeyskaya, she was waiting for an empty room: from the pre-war furniture remained an iron bed. However, the lack of furniture did not upset mom in the least: the main thing was Leningrad. From the joys of the first days: everyone speaks Leningrad. This feeling of language - pure, newly found after a long separation - remained for the rest of my life.
