V.Aleinikov dwells on his childhood and youth, his development as a poet and a writer during the epoch of the 1960-1980s. For instance, he focuses on the history of the SMOG (the abbreviation stands for ‘The Youngest Society of Geniuses’), a legendary unofficial association of talented young people of the 1960s, which he founded; and traces the fates of its members, who often faced persecution by the Soviet authorities and whose works were not published in Russia.
