Book presentation

Constantin Sigov succeeds in synthesizing in a moving and precise text the Soviet era, where the ideals of free creation came up against the wall of censorship, the era of Estonian and Ukrainian independence, when the talent of the two protagonists flourished spectacularly, and the heroic and tragic era of the Russian-led war against Ukraine. It's a vision that only a close friend of theirs like Constantin Sigov can offer us, through the intersecting destinies and work of these remarkable men, who were also bound together by a steadfast friendship.
