Vsevolod Vladimirovich Ovchinnikov is an international journalist and writer who worked for many years in China, Japan and England. His name is associated with a new trend in Russian journalism - the creation of a psychological portrait of foreign society. The author's creative credo: "To convince the reader that one cannot measure other people's lives by one's own standard, one cannot rely on the usual system of values and criteria, because they are not universal, just like the grammatical norms of our native language". In 1985 the author was awarded the State Prize of the USSR for these works. In 2010, the President of the Russian Federation awarded Vsevolod Ovchinnikov the Order "For Services to the Fatherland" of the fourth degree. "Cherry Branch" and "The Roots of the Oak" - were and remain truly a masterpiece of domestic journalism. Amazing brightness and imagery of language, amazing depth of penetration into the original world of English and Japanese national culture fascinate the reader and serve as a key to understanding foreign reality. In Japan, "Cherry Branch" became a bestseller, and the British, skeptical of foreigners' attempts to understand their national character, met "Oak Roots" very favorably.
