Irina Tchaikovsky's book tells about those who are engaged in Russian culture in distant America, and in different fields - in literature, theater, cinema, and music. The work on the book has been going on for 20 years, the materials that make up it-interviews, articles and reviews-were written in different years and in different places in America. Its heroes - people who are sometimes unknown at home-do one big thing: they sow the seeds of Russian culture in America, do not let its sprouts go into the sand... Often they are ascetics, and I would like to learn about them, their fates and their work in Russia and abroad.For students and teachers of humanities, as well as anyone interested in contemporary culture.
