vadim-volodarskii31.12.2022, 20:38A little explanation for the reader. Some time ago, when there was still a Russian-language section of the site, this book was written in Russian and posted there. (Later, Litnet became a separate resource.) But the book deserves to be accessible to Ukrainian readers, so the author’s translation is offered. (The author writes in two languages.)
