"How well we lived well." It is generally accepted that “Paradise” (freedom) stepped on only now, and you can travel “around the world”. This is true, but only partly. In Soviet times, people also traveled. Maybe more in its country. And our country was big. And amazing.

Margarita Bahirev. Philologist and journalist, traveled almost the whole country by the result of trips were the books “On vacation - to Dixon” and “Travel to the Volcano”. In total, seven books have been published, including two collections of poems. In the book “Three Pearls”, the author continues to tell where and how Soviet people rested. Why "three pearls"? - These are three countries, original, with a rich ancient history: Kyrgyzstan. Russia. Yugoslavia. Issyk-Kul-Pearl of Tien Shan (1967), Valaam-Pearl of Ladoga (1975) and Split-the pearl of the sea (1979). The book is rich in content, filled with living emotions and immerses not only in the ancient, but also in the recent (Soviet) history.

And you know how travel in Soviet times was different from the current?
