From the publisher:

The famous American journalist of Ukrainian descent Lev Khmelkovsky worked at the Chemical Industry Research Institute in 1974-1986. In his essay "Twelve Years with Science," he shares his personal memories and impressions from that time. His story about the everyday life of such a seemingly prosaic institution is sprinkled with surprisingly colourful details, thanks to which we once again feel the taste of a far from healthy Soviet atmosphere. The publication will be useful to anyone interested in national oral history.
