Mir-selo i ego obitateli - Shepelev Aleksei Aleksandrovich

In the evenings, a man wanders along the dark window and sings loudly: "Bird of care, choose me, you-take me!.." This is Kolya the Deaf, a local drunkard, the ideal model of the writer: walks around the village, knocks on the windows, demands moonshine ... Meet him and other residents of Sosnovka, an ordinary village in the Tambov region, the birthplace of writer Alexei Shepelev. Not folklore, but real modern Russian peasants work, relax, have fun and sad, sing and dream - in short, live, despite all the difficulties of maintaining the traditional way. The author of the book "Peace Village and its inhabitants" tells about them with sincere respect and warm humor. "While they sing about space, while they are flying, there is a village," he said.
