Thrush in Otkrings. Rakhmanova A.

The frank and dramatic diary trilogy Ali Rakhmanova (the pseudonym Galina Dureagina von Hoyer) has never been published in Russian. The manuscripts, miraculously taken to Austria even before the forced emigration, were later translated by the husband of Galina Dureagina - Arnulf von Hoyer - in German and published in Austria in 1931. Books were with great interest by readers in dozens of countries.

“Thrush in Otking”-the third book of the diary trilogy-covers the period of 1925-1930. Ali's family, expelled from Russia, is in Austria. This is a story about how to start a new life in a foreign country, where you are alone with poverty, bordering on poverty, where no one needs you and you do not understand the culture of the relationship of the people around. But the world is not without good people!

A good acquaintance of the surge gives the family a means to buy a milk shop, which, according to Ali, will be their salvation. Everyday exhausting work is fruit. The heroine not only achieves certain success, but also retains the sensitivity, goodwill, the ability to laugh at the hardships and overcome them.
