There was a word. Aleinikov V.D.

“There was a word” - a book of lyrical memoirs of Vladimir Aleinikov, poet, prose writer, artist, one of the founders and leaders of the famous Commonwealth. Without changing himself, the author skillfully balances on the subtle border of prose and poetry, real biographical life and deeply personal myth. What is more important, as a true minister of mnemosina, Aleinikov speaks from a metaphysical position, which is why the reader is wonderful to come to life, places and most of all-those who in the mid-1960s decided to speak in the voice of revelations and parables under the slogan “Courage, thought, image, image, image, image, image, image, image, image, image , Depth". About loneliness and friendship, homelessness and homeland of the spirit, hardships and stubborn faith in a miracle, indifferently connected in the resurrecting sensation of youth and eternal light of poetry.

“Sing, a monastery, about what I saw, Sing, a recluse, about what I heard, Sing, a Hermit, about what you know, what was revealed to you when you were seeing miracles. Watch of your labor ”(V. Aleinikov).
