These memoirs consist of letters written by the parents of the author (and the author himself) from the emigration for 20 years. Before leaving, parents promised their friends of childhood, the married couple Vadim and Jemmy Zak, who will write every two weeks. Indeed, long-standing friendship continued in correspondence. Fortunately, Vadim and Jemma have kept these letters in chronological order and given them to the author. Thanks to them, you can now read about the history of the exile of one family from the first person.
