The 1920s of the XX century are the heyday of our new literature. Babel's "Konarmiya"; "Don Stories" and the first parts of Sholokhov's "Quiet Don", Zoshchenko's stories, Ilf and Petrov's dilogy about Ostap Bender, Platonov and Bulgakov's novellas and stories, Zamyatin's "We", Alexei Tolstoy's "Walking through Torments"... The list can be multiplied and multiplied. In this glorious row, the story of Belykh and Panteleev "The Republic of Shkid" occupies a worthy place. It's amazing, because it was composed by almost children, yesterday's Leningrad punks, former street kids. The story is written so cheerfully, pugnaciously, frankly, that it fell exactly "into the top ten" of the picky reader's heart. Yes, and now it gets. Gennady Poloka's film with the brilliant Sergei Yursky in the role of Vikniksor, the founder of the Shkida and the wise guide of the Shkids, consolidated the glory of the book, which, by the will of tragic circumstances, was not published from 1938 to 1960. The reason for such a long oblivion is simple: Grigory Belykh, Leonid Panteleev's co-author, was repressed and died in 1938 in a prison hospital. In this edition, we offer you maximum immersion in the Shkid theme in the works of Grigory Belykh and Leonid Panteleev, both individually and jointly. The book contains almost everything related to the glorious times of the famous republic, which gave the world the works that adorned our literature.
