In your hands is a poignant account of the life of Mikhail Sergeyevich Shkabardnya—a patriarch of Soviet industry, a Hero of Socialist Labor, a USSR State Prize laureate, a Doctor of Technical Sciences, and a professor. This is not only the story of a Kuban boy from a poor Cossack family who, despite the trials of the 1930s, the war, and the postwar years, thanks to his pursuit of knowledge, honest work, and talent, rose to the heights of executive power in the country—becoming the USSR Minister of Instrument Engineering, Automation, and Control Systems, and later the Chief of Staff of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and a member of the Presidium of the Soviet Government. It is also a story about the author's beloved small homeland—his native village of Tbilisskaya, and the Krasnodar Territory. These are reflections on the fate of the "great homeland"—the Soviet Union, Russia—and broad philosophical generalizations based on the material of recent decades. Some of the stories have been published in his previously published books.
