My sadness is light... Savelyeva L.V.

Lidia Vladimirovna Savelyeva (1937-2021)-great-great-grandson Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, doctor of philological sciences. In memoirs, she talks about childhood and growing up in Ukraine, where the family moved in 1939, about the student years spent at the University of Leningrad. Remembering the occupation of Poltava by German troops, school post -war years or university lectures of famous scientists, Lidia Vladimirovna pays a lot of attention to details that help the reader better understand the historical context. An important place in the memoirs is the author of her personal relations with classical literature that the fate of Savelyeva itself becomes a clear example of cultural intimacy and inextricable connection of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples.
