The documentary-memoir story "Sail leading to distant goals" is devoted to the history of the appearance, formation and development of the Novorossiysk school newspaper "Parus (Sail)", published from 1992 to 2015, as well as the enormous influence that this print edition had on the children's press in the city of Novorossiysk and far beyond. The book was written by Sergey Konyashin, a former cadet of "Parus", twice the "Young Journalist of the Year" in Novorossiysk (1999 and 2000), whose creative path into the great Russian journalism and diplomacy began from the pages of this — now largely legendary — children's print edition. Sergey Konyashin's memoirs will be of interest primarily to those who seek to learn more about the history of the Novorossiysk school press, its place in the development of the city's additional education system, as well as in the fate of some gifted Novorossiysk children.
2010. After graduating from university in Moscow, a native of Argentina, Agata Garcia Lopez, should return to her homeland. Before leaving home, she decides to visit Yemen, where her good university friend Andrey Zorin serves at the Russian embassy. However, a few days after her arrival in the Yemeni capital, a war begins in the strife-torn country. To return to Moscow, the girl will have to take part in an operation to evacuate Russian citizens. And at the same time to sort out her feelings for the friend who invited her... The story is an artistic, not a documentary-historical work. All her characters and the events described are completely fictional. The book may be of interest to fans of adventure prose and fiction about the Arab Middle East. Translated from Russian.
The action of the historical novel “The Last Frontier” takes place on the ruins of Novorossiysk - a small town on the Black Sea shore, almost completely swept away the face of the earth in the result of fierce battles with the fascist invaders in 1942-1943. This is a very difficult time for Russia that is drastically drained after a whole line of crushing defeats. Each of the heroes experiences it in his own way. Some of them demonstrate unparalleled heights of resilience and courage, others try to settle old scores in order to save their lives through deception and betrayal. But for all of them, as well as for the Wehrmacht’s - many times superior - troops, rapidly rushing to the Caucasus, the fierce battles at cement plants on the eastern outskirts of Novorossiysk are in some way their own last frontier, on which they must make a difficult choice - to die or to win. The storyline is based on the fate of two completely dissimilar friends, fighters of the 305th Soviet marine battalion - Andrey Novitsky (a native of Novorossiysk) and Endel Mari (the Estonian). They, miraculously survived in the deadly battle at Balka Adamovicha, do not hesitate to respond to the proposal of their commander, major Caesar Kunikov, to go to an even more fierce battle - in a daring night landing on the western shore of Tsemesskaya Bay, on the now legendary Malaya Zemlya armplace. Sometimes the novel is scary in describing the Nazi atrocities and the horrors of war. The author equally does not spare either his heroes or readers, successively, page by page, exposing the terrible price of the great victory, which no heroism and no achievements of top military leaders will ever justify. This book is a reminder not only of why and thanks to whom we have a clear sky over our heads, but also rather that it should never happen again.
