"Kogda mne bylo nepolnykh pi͡atnadt͡satʹ let, moĭ otet͡s, gori͡achiĭ storonnik SSSR, kommunist po ubezhdenii͡am, khoti͡a i ne chlen partii, popal v chërnye spiski i lishilsi͡a istochnika zarabotka; sovetskoe pravitelʹstvo predlozhilo emu rabotu v berlinskom otdelenii "Sovėksportfilʹma", my uekhali v Vostochnui͡u Germanii͡u, to estʹ imenno v tu stranu, kuda i͡a ni za chto ekhatʹ ne khotel", - tak nachinaet svoi͡u knigu o Germanii Vladimir Pozner. Ona - rezulʹtat dolgikh razdumiĭ avtora o strane, o li͡udi͡akh, s kotorymi emu dovelosʹ vstretitʹsi͡a, o proshlom i nastoi͡ashchem i o tom, chto svi͡azyvaet i razdeli͡aet v nastoi͡ashchiĭ moment Germanii͡u i Rossii͡u. Kniga illi͡ustrirovana fotografii͡ami avtora, za kazhdoĭ iz nikh pri͡achetsi͡a unikalʹnai͡a istorii͡a, malenʹkai͡a, no vyrazitelʹnai͡a. Iz takikh istoriĭ, kak pazl, skladyvaetsi͡a nastoi͡ashchai͡a germanskai͡a golovolomka.

"When I was less than fifteen years old, my father, an ardent supporter of the USSR, a Communist by conviction, although not a member of the party, was blacklisted and lost a source of income; the Soviet government offered him a job in the Berlin branch of Sovexportfilm, we went to East Germany, that is, to the country where I never wanted to go," Vladimir Pozner begins his book about Germany. It is the result of long reflection of the author about the country, about the people he met, about the past and present and what connects and separates at the moment Germany and Russia. The book is illustrated with photos of the author, each of them hides a unique story, small but expressive. From such stories as the puzzle, a real German puzzle is formed.
