This is an automatically translated description

Kateryna Rapai's memoirs are a testimony about the known and unknown artistic Kyiv of the second half of the twentieth century. Essays about her relatives - the Yakutovych family, Hryhorii Havrylenko, Serhii Parajanov and her closest ones - her grandmother Zinaida Ioffe and her parents Olha Rapai-Markysh and Mykola Rapai - are intertwined with the story of her own childhood and studies at the Art Institute.

Kateryna's word is kind, sensitive, and at the same time thorough and without disguises, − exactly as it should be told.
