Sanfish. Stories and a story. Upinsky Yu.A.

A one of the Russian companies is an intelligent and decisive Muscovite Alexander, abandoned by his spouse, meets on the Internet with the Scotsman Edward, outwardly very similar to Siberian. After a year of virtual communication, she flies to teach “English with a Scottish accent” to one of the language schools of Edinburgh.

The main characters of the story are direct descendants of the participants of the tragic event of the end of the Second World War, when the English submarine “Sanfish”, transferred By reparation by Soviet sailors, it was sunk by a British coast guard by a mistake as a result of erroneous fire on its own (Frendley Fire). The rethinking of the event after many decades is the main dramatic motive of the story. And the immense rampant ocean, mountains and the endless sky are the same heroes of the narrative.

The stories written late than the story are fascinating with their inner drama, whether the end of the narrative is traged or there is a happy deliverance. Each of the heroes, a young man or a baby, a grandmother with his Burenka or a Chinese student, meets a challenge-how to live or how to die. And to the answer to this challenge, they are given the realization that it is most important to remain just a person.
