The issue rests on memoirs, diary notes, interviews and letters of Anna Kapitsa (1903-1996) - a daughter of the foremost Russian engineer A.N.Krylov, and a wife of the noted Russian scholar, academician, laureate of the Noble Prize, Pyotr Kapitsa (1894-1984). The material covers three Russian revolutions, the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, Stalin's epoch, years of Brezhnev's stagnation and the beginning of Perestroyka. Anna Kapitsa is portrayed as a living, committed personality, who was related to a great variety of people in different ways, and through these relations elucidation of the XXth century assumes its new dimension.
