The book 'Farewell to illusions' Vladimir Pozner wrote twenty-eight years ago. I wrote it in English. In the United States, it stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for twelve weeks. Posner believed that he would immediately translate his book into Russian, but, as he said: 'It was too difficult for me, I'll wait a little.' I waited a long time — the transfer was completed in 2008. For three more years he thought about how to reflect these past years in the manuscript. And only now, according to the author, it's time to publish the Russian version of the book "Farewell to illusions".
